Close and Pseudo-Personal
Okay... I guess I have to do the obligatory "who am I and what is my purpose on this planet" kind of stuff so here it goes... Who am I? I am Gregory Todd Howe. I go by Todd because, while there is nothing actually wrong with the name Greg or even Gregory, my girlfriend and love of my life, Stacia, decided it was too "Brady Bunch" to suit me. So Todd it is. I was born in Bakersfield, California. If anyone is planning on making a trip to California and wants to know where Bakersfield is, it would be located within the heart of the "smelly armpit" section of Cali. I left that god-forsaken hellhole when I was almost five and moved to Troutman, NC (another god-forsaken hellhole). My family moved with me (oddly enough). My father decided rural North Carolina would be a nice place to set up a Psychiatric practice, and my mom decided the locals needed a good teacher. It was a nice place to grow up though I must admit. After awhile I moved to Charlotte, NC and went to high school and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte there. How did I get here? Okay here's where things take a major turn. At some point in my college career (between Freshman orientation and the start of classes I believe it was) I discovered IRC. That pretty much did it for my school career. I spent way too much time online for anything else. It wasn't long before I met a wonderful person with the nick anastacia or, as I like to call her, Stacia. She lived in the desert of Arizona, so, being a level-headed person, decided to move myself across the country with no concrete plans other than to be with this girl. Oddly enough it worked. Go figure. To date (currently it is January 2002 in case it takes me another 3 years to update this site), we have been together 5 years and have 2 children, our son Bryce Canyon (age 4) and our daughter Charlotte Carolina (age 1... yet somehow already in her terrible 2's). What is my purpose on this planet? I don't know. What kind of an asshole asks questions like that? Get off my back already. Go listen to one hand clapping or something! What is it I do? Okay... fair enough... I suppose I should do SOMETHING right? Well under the heading of "occupation" I write Computer upgrade and repair specialist. Of course I'm usually writing this on Wal-Mart job applications and the like. I do run a small computer repair and upgrade business... unfortunately I mostly repair computers I have upgraded. But you can usually find me playing Word Whomp on Pogo games, usually in 20's > Four Letter Words, usually being my smartass self.
