What’s your Philosophy?
Live without regret, don’t be bothered by the drama, and just be content with what you have but always reach for more.

First thoughts in the morning…
None, really. I’m in automatic mode as I shower, dress, make lunch, and drive to work w/o thinking about anything.

Your current mood is…?
Content. Sometimes bothered by people/things, but I just get over it.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years…
Have my own place and making kick ass computer software. Also possibly starting a large family.

Your thoughts on ….

Life-
It’d be boring without the rough patches. And life is more about the people you make connections with and what you do to strengthen those bonds.

Love-
Love hurts, but it is worth it. And there is no such thing as love at first sight or destiny or all that romantic crap. Love grows from wherever it may and is much more special that way, I think.

Success-
If something is successful, then the work was definitely worth it.

Happiness-
Is all up to you.

Death-
Too much to do to think about it.

Fear-
Yeah, conquer your fear. Rather, have the courage to stand up and endure it.

Abortion-
No strong opinion.

Why poverty exists?
I’m not much of a social commentator. I think it exists due to a combination of things: the economy, politics, and perhaps even the poor’s unwillingness or inability to act.

The U.N.-
Have they really accomplished anything lately? I’m out of touch with the world.

Wars- (by wars I mean wars in general)-
They suck.

Suicide-
Such a selfish and hurtful act.

What is your favorite…

Author-
Rowling. Raymond E. Feist. George R. R. Martin. Geoff Johns. L. Frank Baum.

Book-
I am loving the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series by Martin.

Music Lyric-
Always changes, but one that’s currently stuck in my head:

This is so nice
I just might sleep with the same girl twice
They say it’s better the second time
They say you get to do the weird stuff (we do the weird stuff)
- Captain Hammer, “So They Say” from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog

Quote about life–
“Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.” – Aristotle

Curse Word-
Frak.

Movie-
Tons and tons. Too many to name.

Movie quote-
I have lots… but one that comes to me at the moment: “I’m not a smart man… but I know what love it.” – Forest Gump

Final Random Thoughts…..

What would be the best job in the world?
One that causes no stress, keeps you active and satisfied, and provides you with more than enough monetary compensation

And the worst job would be?
Jizz mopper?

What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
Finishing school. Or is it finally overcoming my shyness? Hm.

What do you wish to accomplish in the next 5 years?
Own/rent my own place. Move to Chicago. Have an awesome job in IT or software programming.

If you die tomorrow…

Who will speak at your funeral?
Hopefully family and friends.

What would you like your eulogy to say?
Eh… I would rather be surprised so I have no idea what I would want it to say.

How would you hope to leave this world?
Brutally torn to shreds and eaten by a panda bear.

Would you tell anyone you were going to die?
Sure. To those that mattered to me.

If you wrote a final letter to be read at your funeral what would it say…
“I hope I accomplished all I had set out to do. And I sincerely wish that you all are achieving your own dreams.”

“Also, burn/delete all my porn.”

Upon arriving at the pearly gates…what would God say to you?
“Lets go get crunked.”

What is a quick way to start a conversation?
Simply saying “hi” works for me on most occasions.

And a quick way to end one??
Tell the person sorry, but you have to go return some video tapes.

And finally..Your famous last words?
“This panda looks safe enough to pet. He looks real cute and friendly!”

A little about myself:

I’m a 2006 graduate of UMBC with a B.S. in Computer Science. As of this writing, I’m employed as a ‘Web Content Administrator’ for a bank in Maryland.

You can read more about me in the About page. Feel free to browse around what little there is right now… I plan on updating the site with samples of my code and projects as well as try to write some posts on anything related in the field of technology and programming. Enjoy!

I DON’T KNOW, ERIC.

The game seems pretty cool, but I just kept dying. Usually that’s not a problem. However, I die after I dedicate several hours without saving. BIG MISTAKE. When one plays an epic RPG, one should ALWAYS SAVE. Well, on these occasions I didn’t, and I got really frustrated and gave up.

I think I’ll give it one more go. I really don’t feel like starting it all the way over from the beginning. I think I’m like 2-3 hours in on my last save. Will I have the patience and determination to actually finish this? It depends. If the story and gameplay get REALLY good, then I’ll be hooked to finish it. If it gets really boring, I’ll pretty much put it down and not go back to it… examples are FF VIII and The Legend of Dragoon. I got pretty far in FF VIII actually, but by the 4th disc I was already tired of it and didn’t really feel the need to beat it for the ending. I dunno. I might have finished it, but I don’t remember it like I remember finishing FF VII.

Got any tips that could help me get through the game faster? (Other than NOT dying and to always save)

I’m still taking questions to answer, so ask them in the comments for this post. And try asking a question with more… I dunno… depth? Something I can write a longer post to.

What should I write about? Nothing outstanding has happened to me recently. I can’t recall a good memory to bring up at this moment. There’s nothing of note that I want to rant or vent about as of yet.

I think I’ll take a risk and put myself out there. I’m putting it to you guys to tell me what to write about. Ask me a question, no matter how ridiculous or personal or whatever, and I’ll write a whole post in response. You might get the answer you’re expecting. You might not. At least I’ll have something to post about.

Put a question in the comments.

Go ahead.

I’m not afraid.

(OK, maybe an eensey-weensey bit)
