- call-to-action would not be needed if achievements/stories buttons are visible. Maybe you should make the about page a bit more bold. A big fat "Hi, I'm Jabari" and no close button.

- the reddish text: I'd probably go with black on opaque white

- I'd make the stories/achievements with the outlined buttons and the about/newsletter/contact things in small text right underneath, maybe with underlines so it's clear they are links. Maybe seperate them with "|" (about | newsletter | contact)

- just position the menu with "fixed", not "absolute"

- ok, great. I'll work on making the about page more bold. I prefer the "Hi, I'm Jabari" over the "JabariHolloway.com" - it's friendlier and people already know they're at the website if they've come that far so I don't need to reiterate where they are!

- when it comes to viewing text, black on opaque white doesn't cause confusion and looks neat. In this case, if I went with opaque white, people wouldn't be able to see the stars in the background, which would detract from the sense of outer space the website conveys

- I like the idea of using separators - I'll add them :)

- perhaps this is truly a bug because the menu does have "position: fixed" set. Are you viewing the website on a large monitor, say 24-inch or 27-inch?

Thanks again anotheryou!
