"Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd: To rear me was the task of power divine, Supremest wisdom, and primeval love." 'Virgil' of [Dante Alighieris'] epic poem <Divine Comedy>

My name is Cory. I'm a twenty one year old man living in the upstate New York area. Merely one hour away from the border to Canada. My well known and referred to nickname is Monster or Mr. Monster. The nickname was given to my by my mother when I was fourteen. She has a horrible sense of humor. Think that's bad? My eldest younger brother Damions' nickname to her is "Rodent" and the younger brother Chazes' nickname is "Piggy" so who got the short end of the stick on the deal? It was given to me because I'm a rather large man standing at 6'5" and weighing 280+/- lbs.

I say the following with no ego. I'm an educated man. I graduated from High School with my High School Diploma with Regents Honors for obtaining Mastery scores on my State Tests for Biology, U.S History and English. Math IS a strong point, but I apparently made many stupid mistakes on that particular test. I have also graduated from a two year technical school for Automotive Collision And Repair, and am certified in many forms of Automotive Repair including but not limited to; Welding, Fabrication and Body, Painting, Detailing, and Window Replacement. I am preparing to re-attend college after a one semester slip up believing college would be easy to cruise through as High School was. My major is Software Engineering, and minor in Graphic Design.

The above might state the obvious but for those that haven't caught it, I'll catch you up. I'm a Jack Of All Trades, Master Of None. I do scripting (HTML, JAVA, CSS and etc.) in my spare time. I took psychology in High School and retained almost every drop of knowledge given to me and consider myself to be a wise person, learning from those I've met through life and every tale I've been blessed to hear of, absorbing true knowledge from literature of all sorts, whether it be the Bible of which I quote oft but pay no worship to or the collective of one William Shakespeare. I'm shop inclined and can work any machine given to me. I'm a gifted artist in both the fields of creativity and linguistics. I can scape the land, shape wood, play guitar from my own learning and Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Saxophone (Standard, Alto and Tenor) and Piano thanks to Schooling.

Now that you know a bit about me and who I am, I would love to know more about you. I'm a helpful person, albeit sometimes cynical, spiteful and sarcastic and feel I have, in my twenty one years of life, seen enough to warrant the spread the knowledge in what I have learned. I give wonderful, if not blunt advice from a viewpoint perspective. Consider that all I have to react on is what you tell me, so the more open you are, the better.

I'm accepting of all people, no matter what race, color, creed or disability. I can look past the bad about people and see the good. I look forward to meeting some like minded people and making a few new distant friends.
