someday in the future i will begin to upload the fifth version of my ringling webpage, this time it will hopefull be smaller and easier and all that jazz.

and i will revive the brief bio, last seen in version 3.7, completely lost in version 4.

so here's a first draft on that bio (typing this at work with no notes or anything)

Derrick Sanskrit Kennelty-Cohen was born in the 1980's. Alot of people consider that to be his first mistake. He was born to two hippie mathematicians who had already thought ahead to have a sister ready for his arrival. When Derrick was in the second grade, he and his sister both got head lice. To distract them from the painful anti-lice shampoo, their mother gave the sister a Rainbrow Brite jigsaw puzzle and gave Derrick a copy of X-Men #1 (1992, the Magneto cover), starting him on a long-lasting obsession with comic books. When the elder sister began Girl Scouts and no longer had time for her brother, the parents had a second daughter to keep him company. Both sisters have since learned to enjoy his presence for short periods of time. Every summer of their lives, their father would bring the entire family to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, sparking the children's obsessions with music.
Despite a quick rise through ranks and numerous presitious awards, Derrick's own venture into the Boy Scouts was viewed as a social failure and thus terminated.
In school, Derrick developed a taste for the arts, governement, math and science and a severe disdain for disrespect (note: i don't like having the prefix "dis-" repeated so closely...change that.) which often got him into trouble. In elementary school, he was often held indoors during recess (an activity time which he found often boring), and in high school he was often written off by teachers as a "trouble-maker" and "slacker". At least once a year he was criticized for illegible notes surrounded by ball-point pen sketched comic strips.
Despite this poor image, Derrick still received high test scores and took as many high-level courses as his weak, boney body could handle. He was also very active in extracurricular activities. He was one of the most-award winning members of his school's Model Congress debate team and served as captain of the school's Math Team, as well as contibuting to both the school newspaper and literary magazine.
Derrick's first love is graphic art. He is a devoted comic book enthusiast and freelance graphic designer. His second love is music. He has a broad collection of compact discs covering the broadest ends of the musical spectrum, from French Orchestral to South Philadelphia Hip-Hop to Canadian Folk to Australian Punk to Michigan Experimental R&B to New York New Wave.
Derrick is currently studying Graphic Design at the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, home to countless degenerates and lowlifes. Its not entirely different from his home in New York except for the parts which are entirely different from his home in New York.
