Site Info

This site is designed, created, and maintained by me as a portal for me to share myself with the world. I coded the vast majority of everything here myself using PHP, CSS, and HTML. I employ a few jQuery scripts which I did not create. Thanks to Dale Marshall for the help with that. In creating this site I have used Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Photoshop, Crimson Editor, and the FireFTP client for Firefox. Here is a screenshot of the site. The site is designed to be viewed in Firefox. It looks like crap in Internet Explorer but that is OK with me as Internet Explorer is unfavorable. If you have any comments please leave them in the shoutbox.

The Origin of my Species



I was born long, long ago in the land of Moosia. I was kidnapped by humans as a baby and they put invisible juice on my antlers and brought me here to this cursed world of poverty, greed, and lack of respect for all things beautiful. There is a prophecy however, handed down through the generations in secret circles, that says one day a moose-in-hiding will rise up and claim this land for all that has antlers. He and his companions will rid the Earth of all that stands in the way of peace and harmony and XmooseXcoreX will reign supreme for all of eternity!

Hates: ignorance of other people's ideas and closed mindedness in general, organized religion which to me is simply the root of all evil and a means to control the masses by a select few other people, old people from Florida who drive slow, corrupt politicians, the war against drugs and the war against terror, both of which are ploys by those in power to further enslave and victimize the general population, stereotypes, pointless arguments, and things that are crinkly(Shelly Crab)...

Spirituality: I can be described as having Agnostic beliefs. I believe those who claim to KNOW that a god(s) exist and that they KNOW the nature of this god(s) are as fundamentally flawed in the logical nature of their ideaology as those who believe that no such god(s) or higher power exists. I believe that no one on this earth HAS EVER known with proof or without doubt what may lie beyond or within this earth (except geologists) and that any who claim so are either intentionally lying or are under the illusion of someone or something else (like drugs). I strongly believe that the only solid truth about theology is that we do not and can never/have never known the nature of such things. The best approach is to be open minded about what possibly may or may not be out there; to discount nothing as being an absolute falsehood, and to accept nothing as an absolute truth. All that we see, hear, smell, and think could be just an illusion (think The Matrix).
