Joshua S. Blender's Homepage

Hello!  Congratulations, out of the millions upon millions of web pages and ftp sites crowding the internet, you have found the one site you have been looking for all along.  This site is dedicated to exploring the wonderfully interesting saga called my life.  You will find out all of my likes, dislikes and strange experiences.  I have dedicated this site to the many things that provide me with enjoyment, for example, my favorite bands, sports, and hobbies.  Read on...

                                    Important Facts About Me & My Family
I am a sixteen year-old male, living in Daytona Beach Florida.  I go to Spruce Creek High School, and I intend to go to college and major in Chemical Engineering.  I have one brother and one sister.  My brother, Jonathan, is fourteen years old, and will be attending Spruce Creek in ninth grade next year (1997-1998).  My sister, Jenny, is twenty, and she goes to the University of Rochester.  She is majoring in Microbiology and Immunology.  My father is a retired Dermatologist, and my mother is a loan officer for Southtrust Bank, and a broker for Century 21 Sparks realty.
Now the good stuff...
I love music.  I used to play the Cello, but I gave that up.  Now I just like to listen.  My favorite bands are (in order): Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Live, U2, and Fury in the Slaughterhouse.  Although all of my favorite bands are alternative rock bands, I do not exclusively listen to alternative.  I listen to all types of music except country, and, yes, that includes classical music.  My fave sports are soccer, mountain biking, and football.  Unfortunately, living in Florida is not such a great place for getting lots of mountain biking done.  As for football, I am a loyal Miami Dolphins fan, and I always will be.  Alright, on to hobbies.  I got lots of 'em.  I collect stuff.  Comic books, football cards, card games (Star Trek:Customizable Card Game), and a small quantity of coins.  Other hobbies include astronomy, particle physics, computer technology, and surfing.
