Divine Lunacy

Current Version: 1.4.1

The Beginnings

Born on fourth day of the tenth month of the nine-hundred-eighty-seventh year of the second millenium, anno domini ( for all the illiterate out there: second millennium = 1000 ≤ x ≤ 1999; 1000 + 987 = 1987 ) to his parents, William and Melodee, Greg is originally a resident of North Attleborough ( Mass ), where he lived until the age of four. Immediately following his fourth birthday, Greg and his family moved to the small town of Burrillville, Rhode Island, his mother’s home town. Greg started Kindergarten in 1992—the same year his little brother was born. Although he was at first happy to have a little brother, he soon learned of the horrors associated with siblings. In 1993, Greg attended pre-one because his handwriting just sucked that much. Finally, in 1994, Greg was promoted to the first grade.

Scouting

Greg has been a scouter since 1993 and attained the rank of Eagle Scout on January 15th, 2004. He earned a Bronze Palm later that year and received a Gold Palm on June 8th, 2005. Greg was the first scout in the history of his troop to be awarded a Gold Palm. On September 29^th, 2005, Greg earned a silver palm. He now has 36 merit badges, including all of the Eagle required badges, except Hiking, which he can’t possibly earn, as he is now 18.

Greg has been to two Massachusetts Jamborees, One national Jamboree, one Council Jamboree, 4? district jamborees, White Stag and various other events. After Greg’s Philmont expedition this summer ( in which he ditched Kayla, went to New Mexico, and left her all alone to rot in Burrillville ), Greg went to yawgoog for his eighth and final year as a scout. Prior to being on the reservation for twenty-four hours, the camp was evacuated due to a norovirus outbreak. Greg and his troop returned week eight.

For a short period of time, Greg was nicknamed ‘Super Scout’. The name didn’t stick, but his current nickname, ‘Torti’, did. With the passing of one generation of scouters, the name Torti is slowly drifting out of use. Kayla has now nicknamed Greg “The Italian Stallion” just so that he’ll blush when he reads this. Over the course of his scouting career, Greg was elected to hold the office of Senior Patrol Leader for two consecutive terms. Greg has also held the following positions: Scribe, Den Chief, Patrol Leader, Assistant Patrol Leader, Self-Proclaimed World Dictator, and Patrol Mascot. Greg is currently serving as an Assistant Scoutmaster; he dares you to oppose him. Beware: Greg is NOT youth-protection trained. (that means you, Chris. [I’d be more afraid of Brian if I were you.]) Greg is certified in CPR, and trained in life-guarding, first aid, this, that, and the other thing. Greg is an avid navigator and can tie any knot known to man, including the Jury Masthead knot, the Monkey’s fist, the X leaf Chinese temple not, the double figure of eight, and the hangman’s noose. (don’t mess… :-p) He can also sign your book…

Multiple Personalities are Okay.

Greg thinks Greg is insane for writing about Greg in the third person. ( Greg loves little Parenthetical Comments. [ Sub-parenthetical Comments must be properly nested. { Failing to properly nest is a syntax error and probably won’t compile. } ]

Greg began dabbling in web design when he was about nine years old and started learning JavaScript at age twelve. He has since become adept in PHP, XHTML, CSS and MySQL. He also considers himself rather fluent in C++, PERL, and Shell. As a hardcore Linux user, Greg passionately hates Microsoft ( Microshit ). Although Greg is a computer geek/nerd, he plans on majoring primarily in mathematics with a probable double major in Computer Science. With bachelors in math and computer science, Greg hopes to receive a job at Google Labs and someday become Dr. Math. Greg is the proud owner of a Gmail account and self-proclaimed Gmail patriarch of Burrillville. (trace your invite back as far as you can. Who invited you? Who invited that person? He has a long line of descendants.) He is Google’s most loyal fan and is quite angry that he doesn’t own stock in them. Some of Greg’s programming works can be found at: /dev. Greg took two years of high school Spanish, but considers PHP his second language. Quite frankly, he would rather talk to his computer in ASCII binary ( He has memorized the important parts of ASCII. ).

In August of 2005, Greg began coding what he hoped would be a recreation of what Mafia.org was in the days of IzzyCreamcheese. With the game barely functioning, it was opened for public beta in early January. [insert more stuff here.] Greg invites you to add on to the game’s userbase: Mafia Returns

Greg is member of hackthissite.org. ( Greg was too lazy to make that a hyperlink so Kayla did it for him. ) I sure know a lot about Greg for some cheezy narrator/biographer. In a way, you might say I stalk him. (Greg pwns Ryan.)

Greg’s Mortal Enemies

• Brad - The LiveJournal dude.
• Tom - The evil MySpace guy.

Capiche?

Greg is Italian enough to call himself Italian. Being Italian, Greg believes that culture is defined as the number of Italian bakeries per square kilometer ( or other measure of area. [ Greg supports the metric system. ] ) Greg can tell when you try to slip ‘fake’ Italian food past him—don’t try it… ( he might just have mob connections… ) Greg believes that Italian is the ‘Master Food’, however, he doesn’t plan to go on a genocide over it. “Some men are Baptists, others Catholics, ” ( A Christmas story ) For example, Greg is a Baptist, and Kayla is a Catholic. Greg is also a coke-addicted coffee man. Greg has been drinking coffee everyday for longer than he cares to remember. The score is roughly: Favali: 3; Trogisch: 1; Greg: 545; Greg has become good at smuggling coffee around school.

For a short time in 2005, Greg dated an insanely gorgeous chicken restaurant who is at least 100 times better than Greg. This chicken restaurant (or Kayla, as many call her) is still the coolest person in the world. (She didn’t even ‘make’ me add that.) (But she did edit some stuff in here.)

Greg can be found on IRC at: irc.jaundies.com #divinelunacy, #mafia (nickname: Mario)
