I've seen threads like this on a few other boards and I thought it would be interesting here. basically what this thread is all about is you telling everyone who you are and what you have done in your life.as for me, I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and have spent most my life here. for a breif period I lived with my cousins in Arkansas. Growing up I wanted to play in the NBA, and was quite tall for my age-- pushing six feet in 4th grade. I never made the high school team because of an academic incident which resulted in my banishment from all extra curricular(sp?) activities. In high school I drank a lot, and smoked a lot of Marijuana, I never got caught and it was during these pot sessions I first began using the internet a lot. My dad had internet as early as 1996, but I rarely got online because it took to long to load any porno and it was much easier just to look at the mounds of Porno my dad had, which he didn't care that I looked at.High School was really a blur for me, but about Senior year I relized all my friends were f*cking idiots and losers so I began to grow up a little. I stopped smoking and for a while quite drinking. It was at this time that I moved down to Arkansas for a little while, I was actually going to stay there but ended up back in Salt Lake. I graduated High school 403 out of 405, and a running joke was that there was actually two people in our school stupider than I was. I never had a reputation for being smart, it wasn't that I was dumb, it was that it was just much easier to act stupidBecause my grades sucked I hate to attend Salt Lake Community College. I graduated from there two years later and begun going to Weber State were I just finished my Associates of Science in History. I will continue going to Weber this fall to get my masters degree and I plan on eventually getting my Doctorate.As for basketball, I still love it and I still play it. though after a few knee injuries I am no were near as good as I once was. I've been running basketball based sites since 2001 and have gotten to know many people in the business, mostly sports writers. I love to write, talk, debate about history, basketball, and politics and thats one reason(especially the debate section) why I was drawn to BBW. I know I want to be a writer, even with my bad spelling, but I don't know if I want to write historical fiction or become a sports writer.

But yeah...3rd grade. Cmon.
