Some Basic Information.
(About Manil Fernando)
Picture of me on a monument.

In addition to my given names I go by the pseudonyms and noms de plume of “lenin MardanoF”, and “SiD”. I am now years of age, and still a shade darker than burnt sienna. I possess the amazing ability to fly through the air at speeds of up to 300 mph (mostly downwards). My interests include eating, sleeping, and occasionally drinking, however I receive most of my fluids from metabolic processes. My diet consists almost entirely of Garbanzo beans, what you people call “chick peas”. I spend most of my time being exposed to low level ß radiation and pressing buttons in exchange for considerable remuneration. And I don't like paté.

I was Catholic until the age of Reason, experimented with Christianity, and dabbled in Atheism, before devising my own religion. It is loosely based on Judaeo-Christian values, is wholly centered around the advancement of me and has only two commandments:

I.  There's something out there, and it's bigger than me.
II. Try not to be a prick.
and subscribes to principals like “Looks aren't everything. Money is everything!”, “No pain... hey no pain!” and “Pants first, then shoes.” and such.

Myself and Michael Israely, Graduates!
I'm on the left. On the right is Mike; he has a lot of... um... something.

Going into university I was a Physics major... then I took a college physics course and promptly switched to Psychology. After discovering there was no “Psychology Company” at which I was guaranteed a job upon graduation I switched to Chemistry, then Biology... and then Biochemistry. I graduated with a degree in Neurobiology & Behavior; which of course means that now I'm... a web developer/designer.

I played rugby for Cornell. Being the second smallest guy on the entire squad I did a lot of running away. My mother is a professional tennis instructor, so ironically I suck at tennis. Waterskiing if fun... and convenient for those lacking the courage to get a real enema.
Disc!
Disc!
Freestyle Disc (frisbee) was my attempt to be cool and live the typical White College Life; but nothing has caught and held my attention like inline skating (and of course N64 MarioKart, Battle mode, the blockfort). My (current) musical tastes are summarized by the slogan “It's all about the horns!”... Ska, Poga-punk, Reggae, Swing, Latin, Jazz, Classical... and Marching Band believe it or not! In my spare time I shave catterpillars, and ride a senile donkey back and forth between Taco Bells. I am known to semi-illiterate children around the world as “La Maleta Fria”, and I can open doors with my feet.
