The Novel: Okay people, here goes.

My name is Brandon Worf, obviously, and I'm 21, living in Hays, KS going to Fort Hays State University (NCAA Division II) now on a music degree. I was an INT major (networking), but I got sick of that because it bored me to death, and I'm back doing what I enjoy now.

To keep this short, I'll keep my stories limited. I'm a drumming nut. I play drums constantly, on anything that is percussive and makes sound with whatever I have. It annoys people most of the time. Thus, that's why I'm getting my degree in it. I've played drums in some form or another for what is my tenth year now, and I do everything from jazz to rock, to rudimental and corps style marching (but I'm too broke to march corps, and I only have a year left of eligibility, so oh well).

My hobbies include the following: radio scanning, racing, web design (amateur only), and a myriad of other things. Firefighting is a side interest right now, and I'm actively pursuing employment on the Hays Fire Department as a volunteer running POV. Radio Scanning is a big hobby of mine, so much so that I carry a scanner with me almost everywhere I go (at least with me in the truck anyways). I have an extensively use a Radio Shack Pro-95, with dual trunking and 1000 channels, and I've built my own programming cable for it such that I can program it from my PC instead of punching 1747219560139281 buttons for an hour or two. I've taken this thing all over the country, and you'll see where if you check out the scanning section. I'll get to racing in a second, but web design is just another hobby. I began dabbling in it a years ago, and took it seriously for awhile, then realized I didn't have the work ethic to sit in front of a monitor for six hours a day designing web sites I wasn't going to hardly use myself. So I stick with this and this only now.

As for racing, it's something that I've always been affiliated with. Auto racing--the kind you see at race tracks with cars, not horses or humans. By far, my favorite kind of racing is sprint car racing. It's the best show on dirt you can get, guaranteed and it's cheaper than NASCAR. Now don't get me wrong, I like NASCAR, but $20 million budgets aren't something someone like me can get on a daily basis. The World of Outlaws, NCRA, ASCS, and other series are what I love to watch. Despite this, micro sprint racing is where my heart lies. I grew up watching my grandfather and my uncle race a micro sprint (back then we called 'em modified midgets) until it got to the point that I started driving about ten years ago. I drove in a series called the National Modified Midget Association, which is still around, though to be honest is dying a slow, painful death at the hands of the outlaw tracks and racers. I ran at the Garden City tracks, which consisted of Wallbanger Speedway (RIP), and the new operating Airport Raceway (which I designed the website for, by the way). The racing page (if still up), will contain more info on this at a later date.

Another hobby that has sprung up as of late is photography. I've come into possession of a digital camera (HP Photosmart 735), and I've already began using it extensively. I've also utilized regular film and my parents' 4.0 mega-pixel Kodak digital camera with the 2x telephoto lens, and I have a large amount of pics to put up on this site, but no space to do so (working on that one though). For the time being, I do have some pics posted, though not many.

Anyways, that's all I have for now. There may be more to come later if I decide to expand.

Laterz,
