The Creator
Who is the creator? Well me of course, but who am I? Well I am Sean C. Corkhum. I was born on June 22, 1984...I have a cat named Mercy(usually called Cat, Kitty, and sometimes Spot, but it DOESN'T have spots...its a tabby). I type around 30 to 40 words per minute. I grew up on music, theatre and and in the more recent years my computer. I started HTML programing about November 1997; its the simplest language, but people still think its hard to do and is amazing a 13 year old can do it. That statement also supports my belief that the general public is very ignorant. My favorite movie is well hard to say, but its probably either The Rocky Horror Picture Show or A Clockwork Orange, but they are kinda tied for the moment...my favorite books are The Hicthhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Triolgy by Douglas Adams(and yes it is a triolgy even though there are five books), 1984 by George Orwell AKA Eric Blair, Neuromancer and Burning Crome by William Gibson, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, and Dante's Inferno by Dante himself...my favorite music, well lets jsut say its anything but country, rap,hanson,spice girls and other things like that but NOT including classical...I like classical...some favorites though are NIN, The Cure, The Beatles, The Moody Blues, TOOL, The Misfits and many others...my favorite magazine is 2600...favorite comic book is Johnny the Homicidal Maniac...and thats a little background on me.
The History
ßÜ®Ñ's Ëmpí®é started out as The Castle of Magus(my first web page). I never really finished the The Castle of Magus, and when I finally decided to finish it I realized I didn't like that much so I changed to my empire. This web page will have lots more stuff and lots of stuff by me too. Now for the history well The Empire doesn't really have any yet because its new, but the The Castle has a little but not much since it was my first page. The Castle started in early February...It contianed my page on Chrono Trigger which will probably still be up in The Empire. It also had my TOOL and NIN pages which I am keeping. Orginally it was going to have a Prodigy page and Secret of Mana a page, but those I never put up. And thats basically all it was.(not very exicting, but hey I've seen worse for peoples first web page) Thats all the history for basically execpt for about a month and a half I almost gave up on it and took it down, but I didn't so its now going to be even better.
Special Thanks
Now there are a few people I would like to thank for making this page possible. Those people are mainly my friends.
Now first Sean who without I never would have been able to make this page without, mainly becuase I might not have ever bothered to learn HTML without him. Also I would like to thank him for introducing me to magical new things and always giving out creative ideas.
I also want to thank Ricky for giving funny creative ideas for the page and many other things.
There are also many people out there who for many reasons I would like to thank them for. May it be for the ideas and beliefs, there music, there writing, or what ever less it could be for and these peolpe are:
TOOL for there music, Trent Reznor for making new creative music too,The Beatles who need no explaination why and John Lennon who never should have died...Douglas Adams for his humorous writing and also William Gibson for creating new futuristic worlds, George Orwell for showing what is wrong with society...Rod Serling for his wonderous imagination...and many other people I won't name.
The Name
Why name it ßÜ®Ñ's Ëmpí®é? Well my handle is VIRUL BURN and like BURN for short. And The Empire is what it says My Empire. All the pages are mine and I control them basically. I also like the way that it sounded. And for the ASCII symbols, well I thought that ßÜ®Ñ's Ëmpí®é looked better and was much cooler than BURN's Empire...don't you?
