Thoughts on the Millennium

Hello my name is Chris. I'm 19, 5'10" with brown hair and hazel-green eyes. I currently attend Southern Illinois University in Carbondale). I have many interests ranging from poetry to military intelligence. Some of my hobbies are writing poetry and listening to music (about anything but rap...I like rock like savage garden and matchbox 20...can't forget all the '80s music like Journey, Chicago, and Starship too). I enjoy helping people in any way possible...seems as if sharing my life story helps some people realize they don't have it too bad. If I can make it so can you! I love psychology as well as philosophy. I have taken some courses in Kung-Fu, Tai-Chi, and Tae-Kwon-Do, as well as other mentally refining and focussing techniques. I hope to join the fencing team within the next couple of days. If I ever find free time I like to read science-fiction and fantasy novels. I guess you could call me a hopeless romantic...I enjoy quiet times like going to movie, eating out, or going for walks. I think rollerskating is great too. This was my first web page- made with the original geobuilder...I was using a mac and when yahoo took over geocities and changed the sotftware it became incompatible. :( I started over at angelfire.com after I toaught myself HTML in a couple of days. I was just going to let this site sit, but I figure I might as well integrate them... I will eventually do so a bit at a time whenever I can find some free time. The other site is www.angelfire.com/scifi/whitewing

"Poetry is the key to the doorway of expression as well as the window to our feelings and the mind's eye."- me "Disorder arises from order, cowardice arises from courage, weakness arises from strength."- Sun Tzu Leadership is a matter of intelligence, trustworthiness, humaneness, courage, and sternness."- Sun Tzu "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya....You killed my father....prepare to die."- The Princess Bride "To associate not with the foolish, to be with the wise, to honor the worthy ones this is a blessing supreme. To bne well spoken, highly trained, well educated, skilled in handicraft, and highly disciplined, this is a blessing supreme. Outstanding behavior, blameless action, open hands to all relatives and selfless giving, this is a blessing supreme."- Buddha "Man is spirit- this is all man needs to know; and spirit is triumphant over matter."- White Eagle

A tribute to Robert A Heinlein's character Lazarus Long: "There is no conclusive evidence of life after death. But there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon you will know . So why fret about it?" "If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people." "Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child" "In a mature society, "civil servant" is semantically equal to "civil master." "$100 placed at 7 percent interest compounded quarterly for 200 years will increase to more than $100,000,000- by which time it will be worth nothing." "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity." "All is fair in love and war"- what a contemptable lie!" "You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting." "I came, I saw, she conquered." (The original Latin seems to have been garbled.)
