ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 5th January 2000 
My attempt to bond with the common man via lack of grandiloquence
Most people find me odd, and others have trouble finding me at all. I'm often busy doing something terribly important, but it seems hardly important to the other person once they have found me and asked me what the hell I am doing.

You may think I am kidding, but the following is a list of things that I find very fascinating, so I spend a good deal of time either doing them, reading about them, or facing incarceration because of them:

- Soccer (American soccer)
- Politics (not a fan of Janet "The Incinerator" Reno)
- Ceramics (I accidentally rakued my dog)
- Watching American Football (Cowboy fan)
- Ayn Rand and Objectivism (I hate commies)
- New Age music (and some ambient weird stuff)
- Creative writing (but nothing too dirty)
- Computer games (but I don't wear glasses)
- Castles (I plan on buying and redecorating one)
- James Burke shows (he wears glasses)

I do quite a bit more, but it just occurred to me that you probably do not care to read about this in my meandering encomium. If, on the other hand, you would like to find out more, visit my clan page (where I do all the writing) at The Force Clan Page (www.planetquake.com/forceclan/newstuff). For those of you that don't know what it is, a clan is simply a group of friends that team up and play computer games together over the Internet. There are about 3,000 clans in the world, and they all have a home page which discusses their philosophy towards gaming, life, and Star Trek. I call your attention to my renowned Dork Awards, which many people seem to enjoy.

I also need to point you to the Peter Lemonjello site, which will bring you great enjoyment. www.lemonjello.com

Besides all that nonsense, my real life is comprised of being CEO of an Internet broadcast company called Individual Network. We are based here in Plano, TX, USA, which is a suburb of Dallas. Plano is known for its high property taxes, most of which is sent to poor schools in south Dallas to educate kids who end up getting around a combined 700 on their college boards.

My Personal Entries

Don't be confused by the swath of entries you see way below. Those are mostly submissions by others that I have edited or accepted because I felt sorry for the poor illiterate clods. A few were quite good, though. Either way, here is a list of all my personal entries. I hope you have as much fun reading them as they were not to write:

Interview at CBS Headquarters
Jan 6, 2000

So CBS, a major television station here in the U.S., is going to run this show called "Survivor!". The show will be on in the Spring of 2000 and will feature 16 people from all over the U.S. who are stuck on a deserted island together for six weeks. Those people must work together to survive. Every few days, there is a vote, and one unlucky person must leave the island. The last remaining person wins a million dollars.

Anyway, they took applications and videos, and I was selected as a finalist. I think they liked my diatribe on the merits of Ayn Rand and lassaiz-faire capitalism. I just now got back from my interview at CBS and things went pretty well. There were a bunch of liberals that interviewed me, so I doubt they liked my conservative attitude about things. I will hear in a few weeks whether or not I will be going to the island. The guy that went into the interview before me brought in a bunch of coon skins (I'm being serious) that he had attained in his erudite life in east Texas... so I couldn't really compete with that.

Las Vegas Preperation
Jan 5, 2000

I will soon be traveling to Las Vegas. While there, I hope to partake in the local customs. Many of the local customs seem to be obsessed with various levels of debauchery. I will also try to investigate reasons as to the excessive Asian tourist issue. This, of course, is not an issue to many Asian tourist agencies.
