About Me

Codegen I'm in my 30's and no longer live in Orange County (haraah!!). My family has been transplanted to Henderson, NV for the sake of having a possibility of having a house at some point. So far I have to say that it is pretty chill. It is as nice as the nicer parts of OC (not "the OC", just OC), yet cheaper than the cheapest, crappy parts (see: the chunk of HB I used to live near the so-called "slater slums").
I work in a casino (go figure, I live in NV and work in a casino, heh).
My kids are pretty kick-ass, I mean hell how many kids born in '98 know that Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars flick and like System of a Down?
My daughter is a little punk rocker as well. She doesn't look like it but she is pretty hardcore.
My wife is a drafter and works designing signwork for slot machines. She (and I) is(and are) into video games, movies, music (me moreso than her), trying to remember to contribute to Ebolaville , aspiring to live the good life.

My Interests

Music (Punk, Metalcore, Experimental, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, the music formerly known as alternative, grunge, post-grunge, post-hardcore, just about anything with the exception of Top 40, pop-country, mainstream hip-hop and teenybopper music), Video Games (City of Heroes and City of Villains are my PC fixes as well as the occasional rocking of God of War or Simpsons Road Rage the PS2), Movies (see below), Hanging out with my family (fortunately I live with people that I can tolerate, and even enjoy), Ensuring that all Neo-Con idiots are thrown from office (I mean really, anybody that thinks that their interests can be served by that idiology with actually being one of the said Neo-Cons in power is more full of shit than a month old colostomy bag), setting ourselves up for the emminant prospect of "home ownership"(hopefully sometime in the '07).
