Welcome to the Caretaker's humble abode...
Hey, how's life treatin' ya? My name is Shad and welcome to my first web site. I've tried to make this site load as quickly as possible; however, I love quality graphics so there has to be a trade off somewhere. I was born in 1976 and I am currently employed as an Technical Service Associate at an ISP (Internet Service Provider) in Fallbrook, CA, called TFBnet. I set up new internet accounts and help people that are having difficulties with their Internet connections, Internet software, modems, and computers. It is a fun job, although at times it can be stressful, and it has helped me learn much more about computers. It is also the reason why I was able to create this site. I don't own a computer as of this writing, so I stay after work to use one of the computers there to put all of this together. As you can probably tell, I enjoy the Martial Arts. I am currently one of several Instructor Trainees at Eyerman's Martial Arts located in Bonsall, Ca. One day I hope to become as awesome and efficient at the Martial Arts as my instructors, of which I have had many. I am also looking at making the Martial Arts my primary source of income, that way I can work out, practice, socialize, and enjoy my day, all while making enough money to support myself. This is going to take some time, as it is extremely difficult to make money in the Martial Arts. One of my goals is to teach Martial Arts to as many people as possible. I believe that everyone should have the experience of studying the Martial Arts. Over the years, I have managed to get my family and some of my friends involved, and they all love it, too. Through my studies and training, I've also managed to make many new friends and acquaintances. All the way from Southern California to Las Vegas, Nevada to Salt Lake City, Utah. I can never say `thank you' enough to the awesome Martial Artist who introduced me to this way of life, Mr. Tony Marinello. Make sure to check up on the current class schedules and demonstration dates in Dojangs & Dojos section. If you have lots of patience [or you're running on a T1 like me :-) ], you could try my Photo Gallery. I have some Japanese Animation, Movie Shots, and general Photos. My Top Ten Lists are gathered from different sources and are edited so as to be appropriate for all age groups. If you have any lists of your own that you think should be on this page, please feel free to send them to me. Just remember that they will be subject to editing for content and language, so that everyone might enjoy them. Also be sure to check out the Crossroads to catch some links to some cool sites.
Please e-mail me and tell me what you think about my site.
