Public Speaking @ MSU

Wow guys I am so happy to be here today.

I could stand here and bore you with things like my social security number, but I’ve decided to bore you with some less useful things about me instead.

My name is Byron Miller, and I’m here at MSU as a computer science major. I used to be really good finding loopholes and doing things that I shouldn’t on the computer, and I decided fuck it, might as well make some money doin it.

I’m 25 years old and I’m from the Coast. Biloxi to be exact. I grew up with an older brother who is now in a Pittsburgh law school, and a younger sister who just graduated from University of Alabama and is about to start medical school in St louis.

Both of my parents are psychiatrists, and I think that I turned out partly crazy due to this. I’m not really crazy, I’m more of a minipulative sociopath. This isn’t my parents’ fault. I blame society for this.

You might be surprised to learn that I used to be an addict, or you might not. i really don’t care. and it wasn’t just one drug i was hooked on. i was on everything. mushrooms were pretty good; i loved being out of my mind. but i also didn’t mind tweaking on amphetamines and cocaine or mellowing out with some valium. even though I learned a lot from my substance use, it wasn’t worth all the pain it caused me. for example, i have this giant scar on my arm where a K-9 took a chunk of flesh out of it. I used to be a bodybuilder before that, oh yeah, and i also used steroids. anyways, i was able to straighten myself out and now am looking forward to having a wonderful future.

This future is made bright especially by my fiance, Destiny. She is 12 weeks pregnant and I would kill for her; she would do the same. I stole her from an abusive ex-husband and showed her how beautiful the world is. In less than a year I’ve taken her to Orlando, st louis a few times, atlanta, pittsburg, michigan, and new orleans to name a few. We have had a lot of crazy adventures, but with a baby on the way we had to slow our role down. She loves using social media, a thing which i loathe more than anything.

I don’t play Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. I think they’re all shitty video games. I think of them as the biggest waste of life, as well as the number one cause of problems, such as teen pregnancy, in the world. Why check world news when you can check the latest gossip or daily “bored just wanted to post” post on your news feed? I like reality, and am not lonely enough to post my lonely thoughts for other lonely people not to read who do the same.

Well, I think i’ve told you all about as much of me as you can legally know. I’ve made it through my party days and I’m excited to see what family life holds in store for me.
