All About Me

This is me.  My name is Michael.  I'm 15 years old and was born on August 22 of 1986.  I live in Caldwell, the most boring town in existance, and go to James Caldwell High School.           I'm a musician, as you may have guessed.  I started out on the Piano, and now play it, as well as clarinet, and saxophone (alto, tenor, and soprano).  I sing in the school chorus, act in the plays, run on the track team, shoot on the school rifle team, and occasionally grace everyone with my impression of a dying canary (produced by my attempting to play the flute).  I am a member of the Boy Scouts, and the biggest Star Trek fan in the universe (well, at least the Federation).  I compose music, which

can be found in the MIDI's section of the page, and play in many prestigious music groups in NJ.           I enjoy computer games, hanging out with friends, and the arts, especially music.  Many people consider me to be insane becuase of my ideas and philosophys, or the fact that I agree with Communism, but I'm not exactly a Communist.  Everyone can have there own opinion.  I don't mind being the one not following the crowd.  I'll do what I think is best, regardless of "fitting in."  And that's why I'm going to be ruler of the world.  Now, bow to your future dictator!!!           I like, do, and am everything.  I'm probably one of the busiest people in all of Caldwell.  I like what I am, and it's not gonna change.  I am me.  And that's all there is.

Me as patrol leader at the 2001 Boy Scout National Jamboree.  Our Patrol was 'The Big Bannanas'.  Yes...the flag was pealable.

Me getting ready for my big premire of Carol of the Bells.  That's my score and baton in hand.  I'm so excited.

That's me (not the horse).  I'm toweling Ozzie, the horse I rode at summer camp.  He was a good horse for me.

That's me getting ready for the Semi at my school.

Here it is...the long awaited Polar Bears shot.  This was taken on the batteship Massacusetts.  My Boy Scout troop had an overnight there...we accually got to sleep on the battleship.  It was an awesome trip..but they must have put something in the food.  I wasn't in my right mind.  I wondered the ship that evening in these flanel pajama pants..with polar bears on them.  Ever since, there has been a saga of the polar bear pants...they have struck on campouts and rifle meets.  Who knows when they'll make another apperiance....just hope you're not in the area when they do.
