Introduction

I am in this picture, here

My name is Mic, I am also Musa Abdur Rashid. I am basically a good person, though I am often at the wrong place at the wrong time. I like explosions and going places, so I hope to graduate from

California Maritime Academy in about 2 years with a B.S. in mechanical engineering and a 3rd Assistant Engineer's license from the United States Coast Guard
. I have played the bagpipes competitively in Grade 3.
