Where to begin, well I was born, I grew up... no no that is far too much. Let me summarize.

The real name is Patrick, though I've been known to accidentally call myself Taibak on occasion (usually after long stretches of gaming). I was born and raised in Newport Rhode Island, a very Irish, very catholic (read Conservative) town on a very small Island. My family (on my mother's side) traces it's roots back to colonial times, very distant relatives having been banished from the Plymouth Bay colony (you know, those uptight Pilgrims), which is probably why I'm such a rabble rouser.

I've got a Bachelor of Science in Network Engineering and I'm officially designated as a Tier III technical support for a large ISP, but that is only so they can pay me less money than I deserve. Interesting note, I almost went to college for Political Science, but due to the flip of a coin (seriously) and the fact that I've got more youthful indiscretions than a Kennedy, I decided that I'd probably not be the best politician.

When not playing WoW and not at work, I am buried deep in politics, local, national, international -- and I've organized more than my fair share of... um... political gatherings.

i used to be a socialist, a sort of communist
now i'm a pessimist and i don't care at all
