And I am dumb, my whole problem was I was trying to go to /about and what I should have been doing is http://miketrottman.com/index.php/about because I have yet to remove the index.php in my URIs. So I guess, thanks Stack overflow for creating an outlet for my ignorance, perhaps others can learn from my mistake then!
