Daffy Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 ... from a guy named Daffy. See, my standards aren't that high!Hey. I'm Daffy.I like technology, positive psychology, lucid dreaming, and all that other stuff that people typically enjoy (traveling, time with friends, comparing people we don't like to Hitler). My aim in life is to be happy and useful. What more can be said?I'm a student majoring in computer science. I've worked full-time throughout school, so it's taking me longer than most. I'm really looking forward to finishing my degree. Been a long road.I work as a web developer for a university. I'm also the main developer/tech guy for MyBodyTutor. Occasionally I write for GameDynamo and I'm the webmaster of Mario Kart Central (which used to be #1 on Google for "mario kart", but sadly no more).I'll attempt to be active here. I like this community. Unlike some others I've visited, it doesn't seem to be full of jackasses who live to prove they're Alpha on the Internet. My training is mostly just the Body for Life plan. Eat healthy, weight lift 3x a week, and interval running 2-3x a week.Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Welcome! Don't worry, as we grow some of those Alpha Betas will crop up. Hopefully the mods are loose with the ban hammers (or not, cuz I'd be squashed in no time). Hope you enjoy our community!

Sco Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Heyo Daffy, and welcome to the Rebellion! It's great that you have a plan and are just going for it. Glad you're here!~~~Side note: Lucid dreaming is fascinating. Just read through that entire Wiki article. Quote "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." - Aristotle If you have the inspiration, you have the talent. Strive to be happy. Link to comment
Daffy Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, it really is pretty wild to "wake up" while you're still dreaming. Then it's like playing a realistic video game in your head.The Aristotle quote in your sig is one of my favorites. See you around. Quote Link to comment
