A "short" biograhpy:

I grew up in and small town just outside of Raleigh North Carolina. When growing up I had 3 other siblings some older some younger. And since I can remember I remember my mother and father arguing. When I became older I saw the stress it put on my family and eventually tour it a part. I always said I will never treat my wife like this we will figure out are differences in a humane way. Not to belittle my parents but they acted childish.

I never talked much since a young age. I like to interpret things rather than being the one talking. I'm not sure why I'm so quite may be it was my childhood or perhaps I just don't like to talk. I never talked much in school and rarely paid attention which lead to bad grades. I never liked school and never could relate to the kids.

I went through Elementary like any other kid. I loved Elementary the environment was great there where no groups like you have in middle school or high school and even sometimes college. I had many friends through out Elementary and some I still kept even today. The teachers treated us respectfully unlike middle school or high school where it seems teacher abuse there power.

Once Elementary ended it seems we all went are separate ways. Some kids became the asshole jocks and others became cheerleaders and others became skaters and other just did not fit in at all. I remember watching the X- Games one night on TV and I thought this to be amazing. Weeks later I saved my money up from doing chores around the house and I got my very first board. It was not great in fact it sucked but I was proud of it. I began skating and found friends through that.

One day while skating my friend brought a cd of his it was a punk rock cd I can't quite remember who. I took it home and began listening to it and thought it was absolutely awesome. I became a huge fan of punk rock and that’s how I picked up many of my political views and friends. When I began listening to the music I would just go to shows and never really understood what the lyrics meant. I began reading them and interpreting them. I became a huge fan of the underground punk rock scene and I still am. I went to shows every chance I got. I played every chance I got.

By now it was time to head off to High school yet where some kids are the ass hole jocks and others are the outsiders. I suppose I hung out with the skaters and punks. They often treated me with the most respect unlike any other group. I still began skating and listening to punk rock and now even playing it. I began to get involved with different organizations in attempt to make my community better. I fixed houses, feed the poor, and even held teach-ins. I spent a lot of time doing this and I even meet some kick ass people while participating in these events.

By now I began reading, and writing a lot. I wrote everything from songs to short stories. It was a cool release for me and found it entertaining.

I meet this awesome girl and I had to get to know her. I tried to talk to her when ever I got a chance and we eventually became good friends and she is now one of my best friends.

I now work with the under privilege and still am trying to make a change in my community. I like to speak out against child abuse I have a real fucking problem with parents abusing children. I work with a non-violent movement, I speak out against globalization. I try to make a change the best way I can.

I shared mine what is yours?

I was born in the Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Monday, January 25, 1988. It was apparently a blizzardy morning at about 4:00 Eastern in the morning. I grew up in Toronto for about 15 months, up until about April 1989, when my family moved to Everett, a small village of about 3,000 just north-west of Toronto, south-west of Barrie.

Everything beginning from this point wasn't fuzzy and unclear. I have 2 siblings, one 2 years older than me, one 6 years older than me. At this point, I was 1, so I had 2 sisters aged 3 and 7.

I never talked or walked until 2 years old, 1990. I started attending school at age 4 (not going to pre-school), in 1992. I went to a school that used to be military, but that wasn't military anymore, even though it's on a military base. I am born French, so I went to an all-French school of course, named Académie la Pinède on Base Borden, just 20 minutes away from my village.

Elementary school from junior kindergarten to grade 3 was interesting. I didn't really live a really different way, so I guess I was a regular kid in elementary school. In grade 3, I was actually tested to be skipped a grade. I did so in November 1996, and I went on to grade 4. I really didn't get along with my teacher, Mrs. Héroux, so I went back to grade 3, believe it or not, in February 1997.

In April, my family learned that my father was being offered a raise and a move to open a new office for his company. His choices were Vancouver (British Columbia), Montréal (Province de Québec) or opening a new office in some place called Moncton, in New Brunswick, which I had never heard of. The thing was, my strong knowledge at this point in my life still was meterology, geography, language arts, and acting. I still didn't know there was a place so small.

Later that month, it was confirmed we were moving. We went house-hunting and it was a blizzard, and we got about 3 quarters of a metre of snow in 2 days, which is regular here, where I live today. It sure was much more than the whole metre of snow we got every year in south-western Ontario.

By May 6, we moved out here. I started fitting in, and it was pretty good. I started in a new elementary school, and although I didn't like this idea, I still fit in. The weird thing was, though, I was in an only French-immersion school, where there was English. I was just amazed. But I keep up my French as always, because I am French.

In September 1999, I started in a new school, Riverview Middle, in the town where I live. I was in grade 6, and it was really cool. Now, in 2002, grade 8, I've been in this school for 3 years, I am the oldest, and 14 years and half old.

This summer will be relaxational, because in September, I start high school.

As for great stuff: I went on trips, I learned cool stuff, and I met a great girl called Michelle, a year younger than me. We're only friends now, but it was great.

What does the future hold for me? No idea...

Well, that's just me. :)

well i know that i have like 1 post here so far so i figured that this would be a good way to start my posting career here... so here is my biography...

i live in a town that has more cows then humans, and our idea of fun is to go to my friends barn and play pool. there is NOTHING to do around here and i can't wait until i graduate and i can go to a college in a city. College is a big part of my life already... i am a junior right now and i should be starting my college search but i really haven't yet.

because there is not much to do around here, its not too hard to keep my grades up and i am so darn lucky to have a group of friends :rolleyes: who know that they are going to an ivy league school (i just want to get out of the farm area!) i have one brother who is going to college next year, recently we have been very close.

i really don't know what else to say... just that i leave for france in 7 days and i am so darn excited about it! :D
