Oooh, look - a bio thing. I've learned a few things and done a few things and it's been a good life. I've seen a decent chunk of the world and met enough nice people that I wouldn't necessarily advocate the destruction of earth by aliens. I also think we could use a really good sized apocalypse to thin the herd somewhat. I'm a dad, and it turns out I'm surprisingly good at it. I was a husband and wasn't any good at it at all. Then I was a husband again and I'm really good at that. Marrying the right person matters, people. I'm a full-time executive for one of the biggest IT companies on the planet and was a part-time firefighter/EMT on the side until I realized I was getting too old for those kind of antics. I've run into burning buildings to save people. I've tried saving patients and had them die on me. In my youth I've been a bartender, a radio DJ, a comic, a clown, a bouncer, a rugby player, and I once had a featured role in an award-winning independent short film. I earn my imaginary internet points by commenting on other people's work. It's a simple life here in UserSub, but we get by. "Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry." - Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time
