Thirty-two feet per second I increase, as the exponents will multiply. <br/>
I'll never stop to look back behind me, cutting through the bright blue sky. <br/>
And this is how it's meant to be, untethered I will soar. <br/>
I'll barrel towards the earth below, it's what I was made for.<br/>
Hulking, smashing, I come crashing, nothing like when I was small. <br/>
I am unstoppable, I am the cannonball.<br/>

==About Me==

===Basics===
I am 20 years old, originally from [[Atlanta, GA]], and call [[Lawrenceville, GA]] my hometown (though I’ve lived in 6 cities in 4 states (see [[#Places|Places]]. I am currently enrolled in the Associate of Fine Arts program at COA-Elizabeth City, the town in which I have lived since April, [[2000]]. I am a former Music Major and attended [[UNCG]] during the [[2004]]-[[2005]] academic year. While I still plan to minor in music (see Wikipedia:Instruments below and to right) I plan to pursue a career in Ministry, probably Youth Ministry, though I’m not ''entirely'' sure where at the moment. 

===Interests===

====Music====
As stated above, I am a musician and play 10 instruments that I can think of, at varying degrees of suckiness (again, see Wikipedia:Instruments). 

I’m really into all kinds of music. I like just about everything but Country, however odd that might be for someone who spent 10% of their life in [[Clarksdale, MS|Mississippi]]. Some of my personal favorite artists are (sort of alphabetically):

[[3 Doors Down]], [[Avril Lavigne]] (my guilty pleasure), '''[[Better Than Ezra]]''', '''[[Caedmon's Call]]''', [[Counting Crows]], [[Eagle-Eye Cherry]], '''[[Five Iron Frenzy]]''', [[Good Charlotte]], The [[Goo Goo Dolls]], [[Jack Johnson]], '''[[Jason Mraz]]''', '''[[Jet (band)|Jet]]''', [[John Mayer]], [[Linkin Park]], [[Live (band)|Live]], [[Matchbox 20]], [[Michelle Branch]], The [[Newsboys]], [[Nickelback]], '''The [[Supertones|O.C. Supertones]]''', [[Pachelbel]], [[Phillip Bliss]], '''[[Pillar]]''', '''[[Relient K]]''', '''[[Sloan (band)|Sloan]]''', '''[[Third Day]]'''

Artists I have seen in concert are indicated in '''Bold''' text. Everyone I've seen in concert is also listed below, followed by number of times (if more than 1).

Better Than Ezra, [[Bleach (band)|Bleach]], Caedmon's Call, [[CKY (band)|CKY]], The [[Everyones (band)|The Everyones]], Five Iron Frenzy, [[Holland (band)|Holland]], [[Micah Tawlkes Band]] (x2), Jason Mraz, Jet, The O.C. Supertones, Pillar (x2), Relient K, Sloan, Third Day

====Sports====

=====Baseball=====
I’m a Huge [[Atlanta]] [[Atlanta Braves|Braves]] fan. [[Red Sox]] fan by default because they kicked [[New York Yankees|The Yankees]]’ collective butt in ‘04.

=====Foosball=====
Yes, it is a sport, and yes I am going to beat Allison Pierce one day.

=====Cross-Country=====
I’m a runner, though not as much anymore as I should be. For someone who used to do it all the time, I’m still pretty slow, though. My personal record (by a large margin) time for the mile is 5:32, and for the course (3.1 [[mi]]/5 [[km]]) is 21:30 (also by a slightly lesser but still rather large margin). Running is wonderful. It clears your mind. Except when it’s cold. I hate cold, and loathe running in it. Then all you’re thinking about is “@#$%&, IT’S COLD!” (which is not a good thing).

====Movies====

=====Star Wars=====
Gigantic fan of both [[Star Wars]] trilogies (In order of preference: IV, III, V, VI, II, <s>I</s>). I still want to be a [[Jedi]] when I grow up. Favorite characters: [[R2-D2]], [[Yoda]], [[Wedge Antilles]], [[Face Loran]], [[Corran Horn]], [[Kit Fisto]]. The whole saga and Expanded Universe is incredible. One of my earliest childhood memories is watching [[Han Solo]] push [[Chewbacca]] down the [[Death Star]] garbage chute. Why I remember that more than the famous [[Star Destroyer]] ''[[Devastator_(Star_Wars)|Devastator]]'' vs [[Tantive IV]] battle at the beginning of the movie, I have no idea. I suppose it just appealed to a 4-year-old. But in any case, I’ve been a fan ever since.

=====Matrix Trilogy=====
Special effects, the world controlled by machines, and poppin’ pills with [[Laurence Fishburne]]. “Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot!” ([[Brian Regan]] quote especially for Amanda). But wait… The [[Woman in the Red Dress]] and the Tasty Wheat conversation? Better it gets already! And that’s just the first movie.

=====Other Stuff=====
[[American Beauty (1999 film)|American Beauty]], [[Bowling for Columbine]], BRO Movies (1, 2, [3]), [[Drumline_(film)|Drumline]], [[Fight Club]], [[Horatio Hornblower]], series [[Italian_job|Italian Job]], [[Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World]], [[Ocean%27s_Eleven_%282001_film%29|Ocean’s 11]], [[Ocean%27s_Twelve|Ocean’s 12]], The [[Passion of the Christ]], The [[Shawshank Redemption]], [[The Village (film)|The Village]], [[Zoolander]].

====Books====
Won’t go into detail or alphabetize for the moment (makes mental note to come back to this).

The [[Chronicles of Narnia]], [[Star Wars]] (especially [[X-Wing]]), [[DUNE]], [[Harry Potter]], [[Stephen King]], [[Lord of the Rings]], [[Hornblower]], [[Poodles from Hell]], [[Pride and Prejudice]], [[Isaac Asimov]].

==Wikipedia==

===Danny on Wikipedia===
I first discovered Wikipedia through my friend Aaron, an avid, though anonymous contributor to the wiki world. It was not, however, until I happened by chance upon the [[Venator-class_Star_Destroyer#Venator-class_Star_Destroyer|Venator Star Destroyer]] article that I really started to realize the general intelligence and amazingness of Wikipedia and Wiki Software. I began editing and created a username to see what it was all about. I’ve become more and more hooked on reading and contributing to the wiki world since.
