Who is Cervantes?
Cervantes is a regular on the CompSci.ca forums and in the IRC channel. He introduced himself in the Official hello world thread like so:
"Ahoy maties. I be Cervantes, and my hobbies include the following:
Rape and Pillage
Death and Destruction
Sailing the High Seas
If ye be so inclined as to join me on my expeditions, ye must be the sole reason for the evacuation of an entire town population greater than 50, ye must never have been in prison, ye must kill a ninja, and ye must not say "Shiver me Timbres" like that creepy Paul Bian character."
The Name
Cervantes originally got his name from the pirate in Soul Calibur, which he played on the Sega Dreamcast. Since then, he has discovered Miguel de Cervantes, who he also thinks is quite cool.
Cervantes' name was first degraded by TokenHerbz, who called him "Canvas". After being severly reprimanded, TokenHerbz did not learn his lesson: He went on to call Cervantes other grotesque variations.
Academcis
Cervantes is currently a grade 12 student attending Newmarket High School, in the Greater Toronto Area. He is going to University next year, and his first choice is currently Applied Math at the University of Waterloo. He is also looking at Engineering Physics at McMaster University.
Sports
Cervantes has played soccer since he was 7 years old. He entered the rep system two years later, and has played on some fairly high calibur teams, such as Glen Shields. He has finished playing soccer in the summer of 2005, though he picked up badminton, and is currently playing on his school team. Cervantes also enjoys cycling.
Music
Cervantes likes the older music. The Rock & Roll of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly; the 60's pop of The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Band; the rockin' folk of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Simon & Garfunkel, Dire Straits; the pyschedalia of Yes and Jimi Hendrix; and the classic rock of various others, including Quicksilver Messenger Service, Fleetwood Mac, CCR, The Guess Who/Bachman Turner Overdrive, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, old Rolling Stones, Supertramp, The Who, and Eric Clapton.
Cervantes greatly dislikes rap and doom/death metal. Punk is pretty high up there, too.
