Well obviously you have seen the movie The Net, or you just got lucky.
So here is a little more about me:
Full Name: Christopher Elliott Staton
Date of Birth: March 11, 1971
Place of Birth: Philadelphia, PA
I am 32 years old with a masters in theater. I have a full
time job at a local theater here in New Jersey as Technical Director. I spend
way to much time working and not enough enjoying life, but, I trying to work on
changing that! My first love for now is technical theater, there is an
indescribable joy when a show is under way and I have been part of the magic.
I have lived in Jersey my whole life except for some time off at college, (2
years in NC and 3 years in Boston) but of course that doesn’t count. I seem to
have this strange love/hate thing for New Jersey, at times I think it is a great
place to live but at other times I want to get out as quick as possible. What it
probably comes down to is that I am simply comfortable here.
In my free time I tend to be a computer geek, I do some web design (hopefully
paying some day), programming, and I build computers from time to time. I
consider myself to be an amateur hacker, always trying to push the boundaries of
computing and that endless quest to find the hidden information.
I love
to ski but unfortunately only seem to be able go for a couple of days each year.
Other then that I ride my bike when I can and occasionally do a little kayaking
and horse back riding. I do enjoy the winter months a little more, this is
largely do to allergies that have just appeared in the last few years. Once I
get them back under control I will be ready to romp in the noon day sun. More
often then then not my lack of outdoor activity comes down to lack of time or
lack of someone to enjoy it with.
As you can see from my lists below my taste in music is a bit eclectic, and it largely depends on my mood, however
I listen to allot of Tori Amos, and Celtic music. I do occasionally put on a
little classical or new age once in a while to slow things down. And of course
there is always Jazz.
Yes, I still live at home, please note
however this is a pure financial decision. Grad school took allot out of my
pocket book and it is taking some time to catch up financially. I have inherited
good financial sense from my father so I decided why should I go further in dept
when I don't need to. So in exchange for housework, maintenance work, and allot
of tech support, I live at home rent free. Fortunately I have parents that I can
bear living with (most of the time). So the current plan is to eventually
buy a house closer to work within the next couple of years.
I have a tendency to be a very quite person, I often wait for
things to play out a bit before I get involved. I like to know what I am jumping
into before I jump. Once in a while I get motivated to do it my way and when I
do stay out of my way, but more often then not I will let others decide (of
course always quietly steering things in the right direction.) I enjoy listing
and being the friend, I have found being the passenger can often be more fun,
because you get to watch! Don't get me wrong though I can be crazy and fun
when the time is right. And I will always strive to be a true gentlemen.
When it comes to down to it I consider myself
an agnostic pagan. . . . and now to explain. . . I was baptized and such
Episcopalian but never really got into religion. And as I got older and saw all
the silliness that people do for there religion and started to not believe in
it. Well then in my grad school years I got a chance to read up on Wicca and the
other pagan religions, and I found the ideals to be intelligent. As for the
agnostic, I am not ready to hedge my bets in any one direction. As an old pagan
joke goes "God doesn't like being told what he thinks!" When it comes to my
faith very simply put, I like to keep it to myself, keep it real, and make my
own decisions. I have also found that I have the occasionally have the ability
to sense the future, very rarely and never with great precision. So knowing that
the supernatural can't be that far off. I know how many people can be about religion so as you can see, I
have found it better sometimes to hide things.
