My real name is *Shane and I live in Anaheim California. I enjoy living in Anaheim and have lived here for about 10 years. We have many well known tourist attractions and 2 Professional League sports teams. As much as I enjoy living here (and attending Angel games) sometimes I would like to move to quieter more secluded area.

Though I did not get my first PC until about 17, I have kept myself involved in them ever since. As strange as it sounds, I just enjoy putting them together. Someday I hope to have a small business just building and repairing custom computers.

I work as a **Security Officer right now but hope to get myself out of this line of work. I believe a person should stick with things they enjoy and I just don't enjoy the Security field that much. Its an honest living but I have personal differences that I will save for another post.

I do not follow the mainstream very well, so don't be surprised if I have no idea of the band or show your talking about. I don't usually turn on my television and barely listen to the radio. Again, for personal reasons that will be reserved for another post. I do however enjoy watching sports on television. My top sport would have to be Football followed by Baseball. Next would be Basketball and then Hockey. My teams are as follows respectively; Oakland Raiders, ***Anaheim Angels, Los Angeles Lakers, Anaheim Mighty Ducks.

I know you have noticed my lack of audible communicaton in-game but I have a very simple answer to this. I just don't like using the mic. I know you don't like it and I am sorry. Maybe someday I will grace you with an audible response. For now it will remain ironically on the top of my head as I usually use the headphones

I hope to get to know all of you in greater detail and even share more about myself in future topics. It is my pleasure to know all of you and I hope you feel the same about each other. See you all in-game.

* It's Shane...not Shawn. In the past this has actually been an issue.
** I use Officer because Guard sounds lowly to me. I justify this with my firearm permit
*** Yes, that's Anaheim Angels. Not the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. That is a marketing trick not appreciated by the residents of Anaheim.

I think Its awesome you like sports. We'll have a lot to talk about. You might have to start a sport topic forum. I hate all the LA teams since I'm a San Francisco fan.

I hope your dream of owning a computer store comes true some day. One of the biggest Jobs in demand right now is I T if you are also interested in that to go along with your computer repair and building store.

Thank you PinkFloyd, I am sure we'll have plenty of sports talk to go around with the new season under way in Football and soon enough Basketball. I think your suggestion of a sports topic forum is a good idea. I hope when you say you hate all LA teams you don't mean the Anaheim Angels....or we may have to meet in a dark alley and settle this once and for all

I don't mind IT either though I prefer to just be the system builder and repair the hardware. I suppose they go kind of hand in hand though. Thanks for your support and hey, if I do own a store someday, first free PC goes to you.

when I mean all I mean all!!!! Do you remember the 2002 World Series? That would probably be the reason I hate that team the most. Its on..... you pick the alley!! =)
