Hello! I'm Jeremy M. Harris, from Flint, Michigan, USA. I work in Information Technology for the University of Michigan Health System. I tend to be a generalist, minimalist, humanist, and a fatalist. Or at least a cynic. :) That aside, I'm generally a mellow and nice gentleman (sometimes to my detriment). I am a [[Special:Listusers/sysop|Chief]] (administrator) here at Battlestar Wiki, please don't hesitate to contact me if I can assist you.
<br />
For more info about me:
* My Wikipedia User page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JubalHarshaw]
* MySpace: [http://www.myspace.com/jmharris] (rarely used anymore)
* Facebook: [http://www.facebook.com/jharris76]
* My archived [[BW:RFA|RfA]]: [[Battlestar_Wiki:Requests_for_adminship/JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw's RfA]]

I think I'm funny, which leads to much activity on [[Frakr:Main Page|Wiki Frakr]]. Come join in with the wackiness! Our [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|fearless leader]] has a serious comedic side. No really, I mean it! :) [[Frakr:He That Puteth In Me|See here if you don't believe me]].

Some of my other interests:

*I play bass guitar, some guitar, a little drums, and I sing a bit. Would love to tack piano/keyboard on there at some point. I can't read music, but I was gifted with a great ear (genetic legacy from my father and his father before him) and a good sense of timing.

*Generally I am interested in most all things science fiction, but I am a huge [[w:Dune (novel)|Dune]] fan. I own the entire series in hardback (yes, even the less-than-inspiring Prequels and Legends) and I consider the original Dune novel one of the finest works of human literature ever. [[w:God Emperor of Dune|God Emperor of Dune]] is another in the series that I hold in high esteem.

*I enjoy writing as well as reading. I would someday like to write a novel; for now I am sharpening my skills by writing short stories in some of my favorite universes. Yes, I know, fan fiction, the dregs ... but I hold myself to an extremely high standard; I limit my story length, avoid use of major characters, pick a theme for the story and stick to it. You will find no "Picard and Crusher get it on" crap in my portfolio. I have completed a story set in the [[w:The Matrix|The Matrix]] universe titled "Thicker Than Water" ... I'll probably make it available for the community's comments at some point soon.

*I love animals in general and dogs in particular. I miss my beautiful, intelligent, well-behaved white wolf/German shepherd mix named Minerva, every day. She lived in the bosom of my family for 11 awesome years.

|-
|
From [[The Son Also Rises]]:
* ''[[Romo Lampkin]] (ostensibly) confides in Caprica about his tortured romantic past:''
: '''Lampkin:''' I loved a woman. Beautiful, beautiful woman. But so serious. This frowning face, trapped in the middle of a daisy. She had a way of walking, processional. As if she were on her way to her own execution. We had ten years. Then it fell apart under its own weight.
: '''Caprica:''' Is that what you wanted?
: '''Lampkin:''' I thought if I could get over her, I could get over anything. I could endure. Conquer. Be a man, stand up to any and all kind of punishment. I clung to an empty, spinning bed for months. And that... that is when I finally realized how much I loved her. If I needed ''all that strength,'' ''...what, was the '''point'''?'' I needed to be with her.

I'm around now and again. Not as much as I should be, probably ... and not as much as I'd like. I'm just about ready to re-watch BSG again; that should provide fodder for some articles ....
