668 : Neighbor of the Beast
(Or, "WHO IS THIS HALF WIT?!")

Well, since you've decided to click on the link to this page (and can still read it despite the odd background coloration), you have the honor of getting to know me. It's a warm and fuzzy feeling. Either that, or it's the athlete's foot gone wild.
My name is Ian Cannon, and I live in southern California (sounds like a 12-step confession, doesn't it?). I am, first and foremost . . . well, many things. Many, many things. If you want loads of detail (or at least a precis), look at my aol profile. But yes, I am large and contain multitudes (of what, I don't really know). I am many things. Too many to go into detail about all of them, as it would no doubt bore you to death, and waste my time trying to type it all out in meaningful ways. I'll go for the important points, instead . . .
For awhile, I was a college student, but five years of screwing around proved that it really didn't appeal to me after all. Funny how you have to spend so much money to find out just a little about who you are. I've done art, history, music, languages, and while interesting and edifying, didn't do much for helping me find a way toward a career. On the other hand, one semester at a community college, training in an EMT course, provided more significant direction toward it than five years in a university. Eventually I plan on becoming a firefighter... if I can stand taking more courses just to get an Associates' in Fire Science.
I am also be quite a smart@$$ sometimes (and if you haven't already figured that out by now, check your pulse), which can be hilarious or abrasive (or both), depending on such factors as my mood or that of others, time of day, season, location, prevailing weather conditions, or level of caffeine, sugar, alcohol or nicotine intake. Better to laugh at the bad things in the world than cry at them :P (And if any of you who are reading this happen to play the online Half Life game CounterStrike, look for me as Pvt.Joker, I'll be the one making stupid commentary the whole time through, and tagging any object, possibly including your corpse, with my jester-cap-wearing-skull icon).
I enjoy gaming in general, and various loud music, and surprisingly, most of my friends do too... Thankfully we're all pretty much normal and socially adjusted. I used to play a lot of White Wolf games (and thankfully never ended up dealing much with anyone too obsessed with how "Dark" and "Cool" vampires and such were). These days, I mostly prefer just sitting around with friends, wasting an afternoon playing D&D. Please, no tracts, Jack Chick comics, or other messages about how I'm being "Drawn deeper into the bowels of El Diablo," to quote the Dead Alewives.
BUT WAIT! There's MORE! For your viewing pleasure I have included below a few pictures of myself.

This one was actually taken by a girlfriend in the middle of the night while driving in the San Bernardino mountains, winter 1999. It's not the best quality, but it definitely shows my height...

In my time at CSU San Bernardino, I took a couple of photo classes; this one was taken by me, using a tripod and 12-second timer in the indoor studio. The background would be white if I had used a different speed indoor film, but it's good enough to show my height (2 meters!) [again], and in my opinion, one of the best pictures of me in a long while.

This is not exactly a good picture, in fact kind of blurry (I think I was slightly out of the proper range for up-close focus in the studio that time), but it (kind of) shows one of my nicest (and most expensive) outfits, a zoot suit courtesy of El Pachuco, a suit tailors' in Fullerton. I still need a pair of Stacy Adams' boots, though... aside from that the suit's pretty much complete.
