This is just a fresh overview of what's in front of me now, these college wonder years can go by so fast and webspace still has to be updated manually. If you have the time, go read my life's story here, otherwise leave a message and follow the white rabbit.

My Education and how I don't get it:

This is the building that I basically live in, Iowa just decided to put a load of money into the Engineering program because they're tired of Iowa State getting all the praise in that department. Right now its under heavy construction on the remaining quarters and people are running all over with hard hats and big plants. I decided on going into engineering primarily because I was a fool for entering the physics program and wanted desperately to get out. The majority of my friends are in the program, which is divided up into different fields like Bio-medical, Electrical, Industrial and my choice Mechanical. Engineering requires lots of stupid math courses and stupid physics courses and stupid electrical circuit courses, infact I guess many classes seem stupid and useless when you're in them, but later on these things actually come together to help you with the fun stuff at the end. Senior year, for me anyways, is all about buildling machines and designing fully functionable vehicles to get you ready for whatever it is the after-college life has in store. Right now I'm involved with the Human Powered Submarine group; we're designing, buildling and eventually racing a small submersible entirely propelled by a person basically wearing the machine. Here's a link to our webpage HPS

I really hope to get a job with NASA in the future, designing astronautical vehicles for space travel or better yet, extraplanetary travel is something I'm really thrilled about getting involved.

My Ride

I live in the country, far removed from the sins of the city, I hate the commute. This is my two-bit car the Red Barren; it has four matching dents (from a school bus, my sister and a spur of the moment off-road, sled ride. I love the feeling of its vinyl seats melting my bare skin, its cobweb shatter in the windshield and the fact that it has no A/C so I have no choice but to leave the windows down and bury the needle at 90 to feel refreshed.

My relationship with my liver

Don't Do It Matt!!!!

GAH! Look what they did to you! I hope you learned your lesson. I swore off Vodka forever after this night...

My Friends

What can I say, if my huge photo album wasn't enough of a sign of my endearment for my friends you smoke too much crack. Friends are the measurement of your success in life, the quality of them can be worth more than gold. I love making friends and I try to hard to keep them from forgetting me, maybe this is what this page was for all along. If it was, I don't care, eat it!

My Disillusionment

Secretly I'm working on becoming a comic book superhero, Wolverine's misanthropic attitude suits me well, the newspaper hat is the source of my mutant power, I tend to go blank when I get angry.
