There's not much for me to say. I love to play trivia and Texas hold 'em, I love knowledge, and I love contributing my knowledge to the world. I love easily :)

I have tested out at genius level. I am also modest. Yeah, right... :p

I am also a high-school dropout with an 11th grade education. I have didaskaleinophobia, the fear of going to school or being taught in a scholastic environment. Ironic, huh, that I still crave worldly knowledge?

I will continue to edit this page of mine as it seems prudent to do... John :)
