Real Name: Mark Samuel Striegel(or M.S. Striegel)P.S. it is pronounced "Stree-gull" not one of the following:

"Stri-gel", "Strudel", "Stri-jull", "Struggle" or "Stig-lee". Just clarifying a bit, I seem to have had my surname butchered more than you can count.

Birthdate: July 14, 1981

Age: 42

Occupation: free lance artist/computer information student.

Ultimate Dream: to be a science fiction writer/motion picture director(big-time), and to make a cartoon on primetime.

Also, want to publish a small book of poetry and a non-fiction book on computers and relationships.

Religion: I am a Methodist primarily, but consider myself a non-denominational Christian. I don't like the term 'religious', as I feel it is just an act that some do to make themselves appear greater than they are, ergo, I am not religious. To God be the glory, not me.

Hobbies: Movies, writing, drawing, videogames, and working out at the YMCA.
