Every week I attend a Boy Scout meeting where I advance and learn stuff. I also volunteer at the local hospital, where I help elderly people who are recovering from operations.

I am unusual (well, that's obvious) because, for one reason (out of many others) I am homeschooled. I spend a lot of time indoors but I go to church and the church youth group on Sunday, and Boy Scouts on Wednesday. And, strange as it may seem for a "sheltered" kid, I've got a lot of friends. Homeschool and not. It's a good life.

Everybody says I have a weird sense of humor, but I don't believe 'em. I'm perfectly normal - except for my fear of toenails. Hey, it's true, really, I'm afraid of toenails.

I'm a perfectionist, too. If I mess up, I kill myself. Well, not literally, of course. For instance, I once was in a full-scale play... it was the ninth performance I think... some of our friends came to watch it. My fellow actors had messed up plenty in their career, and didn't give it a second thought. But as for this play, every night was fabulous. It was great, I hadn't made a single mistake. But on this one partucular evening... I looked out into the audience, at all the hundreds (even thousands) of people staring at me. And then I forgot my lines. I did my best for a few seconds, exited the stage on cue, and then sulked. I really cried a flood of tears because I forgot how to say "Coennaconnysisaconnytantanteeandanopleandapopleandaconstantinople!" (Who could blame me?) But I'll never forget that. My first play; my first mess-up.

Of course, you can understand that I never acted in another play. But I do enjoy another form of "fine" arts. If you own a Macintosh with America Online, do a file search for "MODMAN 2." I am a programmer. I write games. Simple games, but games nonetheless.

A strict Macintosh user, I find Windows a bore. And DOS scares me more than toenails. Macs are better than PCs because of the following reasons:
* One mouse button.
* Clear monitor picture.
* Programming simplicity.
* No D Drive, A Drive etc.
* An OS named not after the year it was written.
* It's the first to reach 350 mhz.
* Superior hardware and perepherials.
* A little more money, a little more quality.
* Cool icons.
* Advanced sound, with no special card or external speakers.
* Some Macs run Windows porgrams anyway.
* Bill Gates is a nerd; Steve Jobs is not.
* Or vice versa, depending on the way you look at it.
* Apple has a better logo than Microsoft.
* Macs have clever keystrokes PCs running Windows lack.
* Programs for both computers have newer versions for Mac.
* Dropped from a 10 story building, Macs hold up better.
* Pentium III vs. PPC G3 = Macintosh wins.
* Mac software is so much more self-explanitory.
* Windows programs are almost as boring as this list.
* We're faster. Way faster.
* Blue is cool. So are red, purple, orange and green.
* In comparison, 5 out of 6 testers preferred the smell of Mac.
* Parker's Page O' Uselessness is made on Mac. 'Nuff said.

I hope I made my point clear. If you agree with me, I know someone dedicated to Windows. You can E-Mail him if you'd like; he's always ready for a Mac vs. PC debate! His address is jkoebel946@aol.com.

When I'm not on the computer, I'm either asleep, eating, doing chores, or watching TV. My two brothers have a little one in their room, there's one in the living room, my parents have one in their room, and I have my own. My brothers have a Sega Genesis with a lot of cool, new games (hey, it's for sale! E-Mail me and name your price!) and I have a Sega Saturn.

I do want to get a photo of me on this page, honest! But I'm just too darn lazy to turn on the scanner and do it. But until I finally get one, you'll just have to rely on this page for all your information.
