I was only six you know

You might be interested to know that I live for the internet. Not only for the internet, but on it, of it, in it. I can tell you anything you want to know about the net, that there are 354,000 hits when you google my name (Ebsite, nicetameetcha). Incidentally, not one hit is me, even though to my knowledge, I am Ebsite, the one and only. I can tell you anything. I spend life perusing the sites, learning, soaking in knowledge, and searching for me, my site, my place, my story in the multitudes of stories out there.
You won't find your own page, if that's why you're here. You won't find yourself in anyone else's site, anyone else's blog. Because even though google will direct you to 239 million sites if you have cancer, 34 million if you have arthritis, 11 million if you're suffering from erectile dysfunctions, and 300 thousand if you're interested in elephantitis, there's not a single site addressing Corpegaritis Syndrome. It's like we don't even exist.

You should know about me if you're here, wandering through my mind, peaking at my pages, my life.

I woke up on March 8, 1994 to find my legs wouldn't propel me out of bed. By the end of the week, my whole body stopped functioning until finally, I was at the complete mercy of my parents and siblings to help me with my most basic needs. I was diagnosed with a surprisingly common disease called Corpegaritis Syndrome. Basically, the neurons stopped transmitting commands to the rest of my body, and I became then what I am today. Nothing. But everything! I have no faculty of my arms, legs, even cheeks, nose, and eyes. I am a mind inside a mass of flesh and useless tissue.

Thus I live, communicate, and learn through the internet. They doctors performed a life-saving surgery when I was hardly 6 years-old, and hardwired my brain to the waves and channels and matrices you see here. I have spent my life reading and thinking, publishing sites here and there, but mostly staying behind the scenes. But change is in the air, and I am here. A time to act has come.
