Well I suppose this would be where I tell people about myself. And since Wikipedia seems to be a prominent site for information I might as well disclose a certain amount of information within this website. After all, I don't know where my life is going or what the future holds for anyone. This could be the only place I have to ever tell my life to. It seems appropriate that I would use a Wiki page to do so since my generation has grown up right along side the major technological changes and updates of this century. The internet has been a huge part of my life. I wouldn't be able to do much of anything without the aid of the internet. Communication has become a very fast process. I have seen the death of the landline in my time here on earth. I've experienced life in two different states of the United States of America. Pre-9/11 and Post 9/11. I've eaten a "Freedom Fry" and I have also eaten a "Fat B*tch". I've watched sexuality go from trying new things to an uncontrollable multi-trillion (or possibly more) dollar business. I have experienced life from a semi-sheltered Pop Cultural point of view. Everything I know in life has come from some form of Pop Culture. Advertising of course being one of the largest of Pop Cultures bastard children, stemming off of an enormous tree trunk of a subject, has changed most considerably. I remember when it was no big deal to see Joe Camel on a billboard or in a Magazine. I remember when society deemed it wrong to promote cigarettes this way because they felt it was being marketed towards children. I've seen music popularity change in so many different ways that I can't tell if we are supposed to enjoy the artist music or know their second cousins nephew killed himself after he found out he got a girl pregnant and he felt like it was the only way to make sure his child grew up right. I watched President George W. Bush take on Saddam Hussein. I watched President Bill Clinton try to avoid answering questions about getting a blow job from his first mistress during his impeachment cases. I watched President George W. Bush make a joke of his presidency. I watched President Barack Obama become the first black president be voted into office. School shootings, terrorist attacks, Olympic victories, devastating celebrity deaths, natural disasters and countless other events of such a huge importance have come to pass in my time here. I feel that, if I really do want to become a writer of some sort in my life, I should write about something I know in great detail and complete it in a truthful way and as accurately as I possibly can remember. So, I guess in short, these are my memoirs. This is my life as a white, red haired, blue eyed, lower middle class male in the United States of America.
