Greetings all,

My birth name is Richard Dale Reynolds, but you can call me Ric, Ricky, Maddie, or whatever that rocks your boat. I'm really not all that picky what name people label me with. Just don't try being obscene or offensive with the name calling, and we'll do just fine. It's kind of hard on instant messenger and in e-mails to tell when you'll kidding with this stuff, right? I knew you would understand.

Anyways, I live in the southeastern region of Kentucky in a county called Pike where a town Phyllis, a.k.a. Grapevine, lies. Please, no hillbilly or redneck jokes .. Well, the redneck jokes are okay. Rednecks dwell everywhere, not just in the U.S. south.

And no, people from Kentucky aren't incest, inbreeders, or whatever some may refer to us as due to speculations brought up by those nasty stereotypes. I'm as sexually normal as the next guy, despite my wearing of fingernail polish from time to time. I just like being expressive. No offense to homosexuals and the open-minded, yes? I hope so. If not, I'm sorry. I try being open-minded, myself, about everything.

Moving along with a few stats, I'm at the height of five feet, ten inches, currently weighing in at two hundred and twenty-six pounds. I've lost twenty-four pounds since the end of March. Quite a task, to say the less, speaking to those that never experience the hell of being overweight. My quest still rages on as my body is now beginning to tone some

Getting back on track, I bare two blue eyes and a head full of curly brown hair. Right now, my hair is only two inches long pulled straighted, but I plan on letting it grow past the foot long mark as I did almost a year ago. I love my hair long. It's the only time I think I don't look like a retro-70's man. I keep wondering off, don't I? That, and being long winded. Forgive me.

I'll be twenty on the thirteen of June, so everybody knows I already graduated high school, correct? It took me a extra semster to do so, but I made it as every person should try. Graduating, I mean. Not staying the extra semster ... Yeah.

Well, I hold no steady occupation right now. I mow grass for a few spending bucks for whenever I get out of the house, and I referee. When I say referee, I mean being a ref for a wrestling promotion in the Kentucky/West Virginia area. The independent organization is titled the Appalachian Wrestling Federation. Unlike the World Wrestling Federation or World Wrestling Entertainment, as they go by now, you're not handed big bills. It pretty much all depends on how hard you work and what's brought in by the gate and merchandising.

However, I don't plan on doing this forever. Hopefully, I can get financial aid and have my application approved this fall for college. The Joe Kubert's School of Graphic Arts and Design is the one I'm aiming for. It's a school that's totally directed at getting you a job in the comic book or animation world. I'm heading for comic books, babe! Most of their grads get a job at either Marvel (Spider-Man, X-Men), DC (Batman, Superman), Warner Brothers (parent company of DC), or Disney (Mickey, Donald). Anyone of those would be fine by me (except Disney), but it costs around $40,000 for three years of teaching. A bit much for schooling for a middle class person.

Because of this, I have a backup plan. According to the Slave Labor Graphics (Jhonen Vasquez) website, they're accepting sample work for new talent. You can go read for yourselves at at their 'Submission Guidelines' link under 'Features'. Of course, being a self-taught artist with little professional intervention (looking at comic books and the like), it's probably gonna be tough getting in, but I have high hopes. I'm gonna send in my Ric Madness idea around July or August.

Maybe one day, when I get a quality computer and scanner, I can build a website to post my art work for you guys and gals. The site will have more to it then just that, but none of that matters right now. Too bad, though. I always wanted a little piece of the web that I could call my very own. *sniff, sniff*

All that I have is my lonely 12,976 word fanfic and a spot on the roster of the Wolfpack Wrestling e-fed. For any of those that's interested in roleplaying in e-wrestling, check out Wolfpack Wrestling ( for a good proving grounds. I'm Dick Dale Smiley in the WpW.

As far as interests go, I enjoy chatting, chess, drawing, e-wrestling, fan fiction, refereeing, and several other things that has either slipped my mind or that will remain private. Music-wise, I have a selected few favorites out of different groups of different genres, but I'm mainly a hard rock fan. Bands like Godsmack, Kittie, Linkin Park, Marliyn Manson and Metallic are what I listen to the most. Then there's the 'scream' metal groups that I've grown fancy to. I've heard a couple of songs by the following inwhich I love, but I haven't heard enough to tell if I would like some of their other stuff - Adema, Cannibal Corpse, Clutch, Death, Deride, Dog Fashion Disco, Drowning Pool, Gandall, Gardenian, Hinge, Living Sacrifice, Lizzy Borden, Morbid Angel, Mudvanye, Napoem Death, Nothing Face, Otep, Pantera, Paradise Lost, Rainnstain, Six Feet Under, Static-X, System of a Down, Type O Negative. A big selection, huh?

I'm now deciding to quit wasting FF.Net's space with this long-winded bio of mine. I leave you all with a welcoming to e-mail me or instant message me on AIM any time. Just please don't make me chat with three or more people simultaneously. That's too much for this slow typer to handle. Till the next update, I fare all thee well.

P.S. I had to put a 'P.S.' in here. lol Expect an add-on to chapter three and the posting of chapter four by Monday. Maybe I'll finally straighten up my act. Doubtfully. Buh-bye.

Mad, Yes, but also Misunderstood,
Ric Madness
