Ever wonder about how I think? What I have done? Who I really am? Then, read on!

Some information about my family name:
The Clan Fleming.

Name in Gaelic, Pleamonn or Pleimeann [Irish spelling denoting a person from Flanders]
Family motto from olden times.  Let The Deid Schaw
    The Flemings, one of the leading Anglo-Norman families of Ireland came to the country in the year 1173.  Originally from Flanders, near the close of the 11th century, severe flooding in their homeland forced them to seek shelter in England.  At first they settled in the north in the Scottish borderlands, but shortly after their arrival they were forced by Henry 1 to relocate to the south coast of Wales.  From there they sailed to Ireland at the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion, when Richard le Fleming obtained from the Hugh de Lacey the barony of Slane in the northeast County Meath as well as other sizeable estates in neighboring Louth.  For more than five hundred years, they maintained considerable influence in this region.  Down to the late 17th century Christopher Fleming still held the Castle and title, Lord of Slane.  However, the Flemings support of James the Second in the Jacobite wars resulted in the loss of their lands valued at over L25,000 annually.  Flemings are now scattered throughout the four provinces.  Some in the northeast of Ulster, particularly Counties Antrim and Derry, are of Scottish ancestry, their forbears settling in the province at the time of the 17th century Plantation.
    From the 12th century onward, Flemings have been prominent in all phases of Irish life.  Among the many of note were:  Nicholas Fleming, Archbishop of Armagh from 1404 to 1416, and compiler of the "Fleming Register.",  Meath born Rev.Richard Fleming,S.J. [1542-1590], professor of philosophy in Paris, described as the preeminent Irish theologian of his time;  the Most Rev.Thomas Fleming [1593-1666], Archbishop of Dublin, who excommunicated Ormond;  Christopher Fleming [1800-1880], a distinguished surgeon;  and John Fleming [1815-1895], a celebrated Celtic scholar.

My butt!
 Happy now?!?!?!?!  There I wrote it!  Happy!?!?!  :-)

What is going on with me recently...as of Jan 1, 2000?

    Well, first of all I got a haircut!  This is the first time I have had short hair since I was a teenager!  Yeah, I know...I no longer have any resemblance to that leather jacket wearing, motorcycle riding, caffine drinking, butt kicking person I once was.  But c'mon people, it is about time I begin to be normal aye?  Okay, maybe normal by apperance but never normal mentally....  Heh-heh!  ...and yes I also still have a car.  I mean, after riding year round on a motorcycle for as many years as I did, well, it gets really cold!  I think I will stick with an automobile for a long while yet!  Yes, I still do smoke but I am slowly cutting down now from three packs a day to under a pack a day.  I also havn't had a drink for two years now.  Wow, how much can I change aye?  Anyway, I am finally back at school full time now (as opposed to working full time) and taking as many classes as possible.  I will be out soon, I am a junior after all.  I have decided that once I graduate I will join the Big Brothers and Sisters Organization.  I think it will be cool to have a little guy to hang around with...I mean, after all, none of my adult friends will talk about cartoons with me!  Heh-heh!  :c)  Since I am taking a lot of classes I have had to cut down work considerably.  So, basically I have most weekends off.  Which is cool with me because it gives me time to hang with my dog, Human.  The only down side to this is that she seems to have a constant case of gas.  I swear, if I could harnass that I could power the city of Atlanta with those noxious canine fumes!    Oh and as to my constantly changing musical tastes, here is the run down of my current favorite bands, some are still from my old list but some are new...

That about sums up my current list.  I know some of you might still think I am missing some, but please...  I mean, I don't know the name of the groups who play medieval chamber music!!!  Yeah, I still like that kind of music and I am still looking for a CD that has Greensleeves on it...I kind of lost the tape version I had of it.  :c(   I don't know, I really love the medieval ages.  The ideals that they had back then are sorely needed in this day and age.  I mean, look at the way the world is...how violent and self centered it is.  I think a bit of chivalry could change the world.
    As to the recent ice storm we had in Georgia in the latter days of Jan, 2000...  Well, we lost power for three to four days...forgot the exact amout of time.  But none the less, it was COLD!  I stayed at my house the entire time, I couldn't abandon Human now could I?  My yard was a wreck though!  It is basically cleaned up now, just need to wait until the garbage-men tote that stuff away!  Oh yeah, as to my annual surfing trip to Florida in the summertime.  Well, I am cancelling it this year in lieu of a better idea.  I am going to go the the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.  Yeah, I am still a nerd at heart.  I love to watch The Learning Channel, The Discovery Channel and the Public Broadcasting Stations here in Georgia.  I am also now a confirmed addict of the crossword puzzles in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution.  Hey, I have finished a bunch of them!  Cool aye?
