Introductions

Welcome to 20Plus!

I figure, any good group has an introduction section where you can kinda tell us a little about yourself. We all may have the one thing in common that brought us here (ie...we're all old farts...lol), but that doesn't mean we've all met one another.

So, here it is. I'll start things off. Name: Joshua Brant
Youtube Handle: UrbanWandrer
NerdType: Computer Nerd
Primary Nerdizms: I spend most of my free time on the internet. I enjoy gaming from time to time, but my preference is game and software developement, which is what I'm going to school for right now.
Age: 27
Sex: Dude
Location: Lafayette/Clarks Hill, Indiana
Occupation: I'm a cook at Hooters, but this summer, I'll be looking for a new job.
New News: I've gained a newfound interest in my overall health. In the last month, I've quit smoking (cigarettes and pot), cut back to eating fast food only once or twice a week, and nearly cut soda out of my diet entirely.
Old News: I served in the Marines for 5 years as an aviation communications and navigations technician.
Short Term Goals: This summer, I want to find a new job and get a gym member ship. Once I have gotten a gym membership, I plan on lifting weights 5 times a week, and running 6 days of the week, taking off Sundays. I want to get big and I want to increase my stamina, and I will.
Long Term Goals: I want to buy a house, finish school, get a job at Purdue University, and eventually, own and operate my own business.

Alright then. That should be enough to get people started. Have fun with this.
:D
