Name: We'll go with John K., how 'bout that? (I can't say more, they may be listening!)

Age: 22, and still wondering what all the fuss was about.

Gender: Male. (Beats chest, grunts)

Ethnicity: White. (According to one critic, the whitest white-boy ever. Not sure if I should feel insulted about that or not.)

Physical: 5'10", 225 lbs, dark brown hair, broad shoulders, chocolate brown eyes, a little facial fuzz, big cheeks, glasses, well muscled. (What, bragging? Me? Never!)

Location: North Chicago Illinois, USA.

Major: Fiction Writing and Novelization. (Switched Majors over the summer of '06)

Marital Status: Single. Mourning the loss of a loved one...

Likes: Boxing, writing, lifting weights, knife collecting, swimming, reading, talking, Kendo, watching the tube, theatre, music, cooking, romance, fantasizing, passion, WOMEN, cooking and collecting DVDs (I think I have about 3300 at this point).

Dislikes: High-School Drama, (I can't seem to ESCAPE it!) Racism, Bigotry, close-mindedness, love-ya-then-leave-ya types, exploitation, SLADE, (GREAT bad-guy, though) cigarettes, psychotically devout religious types who are unwilling to tolerate the lively-hood of others, the ineffectiveness of our judicial system and the corrupt politicians who run it, the sight of people on the street that I whole-heartedly wish to help but never really can, BS reality shows dealing with the supposed 'drama' of unbelievably rich celebrities and their inablity to decide what to value in their lush and comfortable lives, sexual offenders, pointless militaristic slaughter, Micheal Medved, dirty laundry, sticky tile floors, political and military propaganda commercials, the fact that the Gargoyles TV series wasn't continued, material-driven individuals who prize money and fame over self respect and heart, the 'big-brother' attitude recently adopted by our government, sell-outs, too much sunlight, any person who takes the knife that I trust them with and stabs me in the heart, (And you know who you are) pretty-boy actors with huge paychecks and no talent, rotten food, and generally anything that has to do with the needless suffering and pointless death of good people. (But seriously, for all the things listed above, I find it very difficult to truly HATE any one or any thing. It takes a lot to be beyond my forgiveness; probably why people think I'm too nice.)

Behavior: Eratic, but compassionate and understanding. I also enjoy making oatmeal cookies and taking long walks on the beach...where the hell did that come from?

On Writing: I am fairly new at this type of on-line writing, but I hope to get better at it as time goes on. The Story to which I currently give my full attention is now the only story in the Stories Authored section of my profile, Culmination. I hope to author many more in the future once I finish with this one, and I am also willing to take comissions for stories. (But I don't expect or accept money) If someone writes me an E-mail with a story request, I would be happy to consider it. Once I finish Culmination, I will do my best to take one comission every two weeks or so and post it with a dedication. I certainly don't think that my writing style is gods' gift to literature, but the more I write, the better I become, so suggestions are very welcome.
