I'm a senior at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I'm going to
graduate with a major in Computer Science.
Most people think I'm a nice person and I guess they are right.
I try to be a rebel inside the rules but
that rarely works. I've settled down a bit. To be exact I'm married.
I also keep fairly busy between school and my part time
job in the Computer Science Department.
I smoke a pipe (rarely). I'm also married to a
wonderful woman by the name of Stephanie Lynn Frakie Wrasman.(Wedding was July 7th, 1995)
Work:
I use to work for Library Express. Now I just work for the Computer Science Department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, manning the help desk and doing backups.
Music:
Well I listen to almost anything. Few things make me upset music-wise but a few
do. I can't stand country music, blue grass or New Kids On The Block. I do listen to
things like The Cure, Nine Inch Nails,
Iron Maiden, Bach, Mozart,
Led Zeppelin ,
Jethro Tull,
ZZtop, Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Tori Amos and many other groups.
But I tend to go towards modern rock music normally any more.
Oh forgot I usually don't like rap. There are
exceptions though. Also my favorite Musician is Weird Al Yankovic.
Movies:
I like most movies. I especially like horror and gore movies. I
also like Sci-Fi movies because I'm a Hi-Tech Nut. (Yes, I have a
stereo, 4 CD players, 3 working computers, 2 printers, 3 hard drives
(one that's dying), 2 boom boxes and other electronic gadgets in my
apartment.) I also am a Rocky Horror Picture Show fan.(Well not
really anymore) I've been a bunch of times and I have friends that
have gone over 100 times. I've always enjoyed watching people make
fools of themselves. My favorite movies though have to be Bill and
Ted's Excellent Adventure and Real Genius.
Sports:
I'm not really into sports at all. I use to play a little soccer but that's
about it. Everyone has always said I should play football but I've never liked
the game. A girl at Clement Hall (a dorm ) got me hooked on going to UT football
games. There's just something about being with 90,000 people and wanting the
same thing. To win! Now though I live off-campus and just watch the game on Television if I have time.
Hobbies:
I draw and write poetry.(I have the poetry on-line at home. Maybe I
should get some of it put on here.) I use to play an alto sax but I
got sick of the band. I also am a major computer buff. I've collected
stamps and coins but found them boring. I use to collect comic books
and I have over 1800 comics right now. Nothing really expensive
though. I collect comic books more
for the stories and art. I also am into RPGs. I play AD&D,
Shadowrun, Talislanta, Vampire and Werewolf. I really rarely have time much anymore. I tried Magic out this summer
and enjoyed the game but when school started back up I just didn't have the time
to play anymore. I read a lot of books too. I read Sci-Fi and Fantasy
books all the time.
Piers Anthony and
Isaac Asimov are some of my
favorite authors. I also like Ann Rice and Mercedes
Lackey.
Religion:
I am not a Christian but I believe in a God that created the Universe.
I've looked at Wiccan Religion, some Eastern Religions and
Native American religions. So by some people's definition I'm a
pagan. This doesn't bother me but I'm not part of any organized
religion. My wife is a devout christian and boy do we have arguments on religion but
mostly we argue whether we should go to church. I don't see that I
gain from going to church.
