About me: Basically I am pretty smart guy and know a whole lot of stuff about computers and how they work. ; )
Who I'd like to meet: Not really interested in meeting anyone. I am not prejudiced. I hate everyone. ; ) I just created this logon so I can spy on what my kids are doing on this stupid site. : ) Seriously, I am really a nice guy once you get to know me, I think maybe I just expect too much from other carbon life forms. Is it really asking too much for people to just do the right thing all the time?

The Optimists Creed by CD Larson,
Promise yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind
To talk health, prosperity, and happiness
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make optimisms come true.
To think only of the best, To work only for the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others, as you are about your own
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the even greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give living creatures you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to critisize others.
To be too large for worry,
Too noble for anger,
Too strong for fear,
And too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
The below email is going around the web with the text:
*Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Unfortunately this is incorrectly attributed to and is NOT Bill and was really written by Charles J. Sykes in his book Dumbing Down our Kids: Why American Children Feel Good About themselves But Can't Read, Write, Or Add. There are actually 3 more rules omitted from the email! See This page at Snopes for more info. Whoever wrote it, it is still good advice. *
*Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!*
*Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. *
*Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.*
*Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.*
*Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.*
*Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. *
*Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how c ool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
*
*Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. *
*Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.*
*Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. *
*Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.*
