Voodoo Time Dot Com

I have serious writer’s block. Big time. I can’t think of anything remotely humorous to write about at the moment. So I decided to share a little about myself for those of you who are interested.

If you are not interested, mail me something funny that i can plagiarize.

In the meantime…

My name is Justis.

People used to make fun of my name when I was a kid. Now they don’t so much.

I am in my mid-twenties.

I live in Los Angeles.

I got married in July of 2002.

I graduated from a California State University with a major in Computer Information Systems.

I changed my major to CIS from Computer Science because I don’t like math so much.

I like physics a lot. But there’s a bit too much math involved.

I work as a Network Administrator.

I speak a little bit of Spanish, but I’ve forgotten a lot of grammar since high school. Quizás un día, tomaré otra clase para recordarme.

I wrote my first computer program when I was 10. My dad bought me a computer for Christmas instead of a Nintendo. I’ve been a geek ever since.

Is geekdom learned or inherited? My father was a geek. My mom, not so much.

I grew up in a bad neighborhood. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time outdoors. I watched a lot of TV.

I’m not a very good athlete.

I don’t watch sports on TV. But I confess that I have sometimes read the Sports page of the newspaper in case someone brings it up in conversation.

At some point in my life I have wanted to be one of the following “when I grow up”: firefighter, police officer, Jedi Knight, astronaut, journalist, attorney, judge, doctor, President of the United States, video game designer, fighter pilot, rock musician, computer programmer, senator, chef, cartoonist, author, stand-up comedian

I think a lot about going back to school for a post-graduate degree, but at this point, the thought of taking even one more final exam makes me queasy.

I don’t watch much television, but when I do it’s usually educational.

Politically, when I was younger I was very conservative (I owned two of Rush Limbaugh’s books). Now I am equally disgusted by both political parties.

I believe that people should be able to do whatever they want as long as they don’t hurt others or infringe upon other people’s freedoms. For example, I am in favor of peaceful protest as long as protestors do not block traffic or verbally abuse others.

I feel that compassion is the most noble human trait.

I crack my knuckles.

I spend too much time in front of computers.

I like British comedy.

I have never left the United States. I’m not proud of that.

I don’t like to fly.

I really like 80’s pop-metal.

I’m shy around strangers.

I sometimes worry that other people think I’m a dork.

Sometimes I worry that I really am a dork.

I have never fired a gun.

I am a Merinthophobe - I can’t stand being restrained, and I have been this way for as long as I can remember.

I like monkeys.

I hate listening to people that ain’t got good grammar.

I am a connoisseur of peanut butter and root beer.

I’ve been known to be a bit gullible.

When the moon is full, I become a werehamster. It’s not as cool as it sounds.
