i created this website in 2024 because i dig the idea of having a personal homepage. i figure that eventually i'll have something to put on it. in real life i'm working toward my MD, which tends to cut into one's free time. outside of school and work, the thing which really keeps ol' cigs going is not nicotine but my incredible wife lioness. her site's button is in the sidebar if you want to see who sustains my beating heart. there are lots of things about me, but none of them are that relevant to the website. if you look around you'll find that i sometimes make subpar pixel art. i'm afraid if there's anything more you want to know, you're gonna have to ask me yourself.
