The life and times of Marcel Ray. . .

The Basics
I'm an ever mentally changing 17 year old male and live in the small farming community (hey, don't hold it against me) of Middleton, Idaho with a whopping population of around 2500 and am currently happy to be a senior at Middleton High School.
What I Do
Well, I'm a huge computer geek, so that should explain what I do pretty well =). I do everything from working on webpages/sites (see below), to playing games, to chatting on IRC, to absolutely nothing. It's hard...=P
I love formatting my hard drive every few weeks and reinstalling everything, and doing whatever I can to ruin my computer and hope to god I can fix (more often than not I can, but we won't get into the times where I didn't...).
I also enjoy to play a little guitar now and then. I've been playing for about 4 years or so now, but I've never had lessons. It's all self taught, so I'm not terribly good, hehe, but I still enjoy it a lot. I'd really love to wind up in a "real" pop punk band sometime, but it doesn't seem to be happening right now.
Friends
Welp, I hang with only a few fellow geeks. We frequent Jack in the Box and deathmatches at someone's house on the lonesome weekends...oh, and Keystone on our days off (all you can eat pizza Monday through Friday from 11:30 til 1:30).
Right now, sadly, Andy is the only one with a homepage, besides me.
Projects
Well, I've got several things going on right now, and more are sure to come.
NampaBiz.com - A website that I am the cofounder of. We are creating an online directory of the Nampa business district. This will also involve a ton of web design for other people, so my brain will be strained for a while...just a warning. =P
Crystal Solutions - The company that erupted from the original NampaBusiness idea. We need a website, logo, and motto. Ouch =).
Treasure Valley Homes - One of our clients for NB.com, this will simply be a template for the company to work off of in *gasp* FrontPage. Pretty much done, on my end.
Business Professionals of America - Being a member of the Middleton chapter, I'm going to take part in the April website design competition. I'm hoping for first in state and maybe taking a place in the nationals.
Middleton High School - I am currently the webmaster of the Middleton High School homepage. I created it my early in my junior year, but it really hasn't been taken seriously until this year.
There's even more in the process, so check back if you're interested...
My Car
*History, more than anything, about my old rabbit*Don't worry, I'm not about to brag about how fast my car is, or how killer of a "system" it has. Especially because it isn't fast (in fact, it doesn't even start a lot of times), and the stereo is anything but kickin'. It's squeely and always tuned in at Oldies 104.3. Instead, I'm going to make fun of it and admire it, at the same time. Believe me, you'd know why if you saw it.
Yep, it's a "classic" 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit in the best color of all: 12 1/2 different shades (and tints) of yellow. It's pretty loud, and it smells pretty nice on the inside; a nice mixture of a Vanillorama car freshner and mysterious fumes. Ride with me at your own risk.
The thing I love the most about it, though, is the license plates: PC GEEK. Need I say more? Didn't think so...=)
