A little about me and my
purpose for having a homepage.
I've had alot of people ask me, "What the HECK is a Railbird?". Well first off, it's "Railbirds" or to be more exact, it's the "Blue Jay Railbirds" and it's a team on the APA ~American Poolplayers Association~ that I am a member of. Hence the name "Railbird". Secondly, the name derives from the part of the pool table known as the "rail" or "cushion". There are 6 of them, 1 on each end and 2 on each side of the table. The tavern that the team shoots for is called the "Blue Jay Tavern". Seen as how a blue jay is a bird and "rail" is part of a pool table we came up with the name "Blue Jay Railbirds". I know you're thinking what kind of a place is called "Blue Jay". To tell the ya truth, it's just a neighborhood bar.
One reason for having a homepage is so I can put my picture on the Web. A little vain of me, you may think, but it's mostly due to the fact that word got out that I mailed my pic. to a lady friend and now the rest of my lady friends are crying "FOUL". It's tough being me! ; - ) Honest, it's not much but wadda ya expect from a 32 y.o. playing with his...WebTV. LOL
Another reason for me wanting to create a site is to help other newbies like myself. I've had this WebTv terminal since Oct '97 and I'm not really into computers and other do-hickies but I do enjoy learning and trying new things. I've been taught alot from the many friendly, kind, and most of all patient people I've met on the internet. Also from the countless pages that offer assistance. So that is what I intend to accomplish. A homepage with helpful links for the "Newbie", which I still consider myself, links for advanced help, and links for kids, learning, travel, games and more. There will also be links to pool sites to help out the amature pool player like me. So sit back, relax, have a beer or whatever and spend some time exploring my homepage. Who knows, you may learn a thing or two.
