I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I had to add the whole "fill in my last name" thing, because I'm getting a ton of fake friend requests and my cell phone is blowing up. My last name is Prater if you're not sure.

who i am

Your mom. And David Prater. I'm married to Andrea Prater, and we have a little boy named Cevin. I am CEO of FyfthNet Web Systems and Andrea is currently in school at WKU pursuing a nurse antethstisis career and maintaining a ridiculous level of involvment in the Downs Syndrome community.

Cevin has Downs Syndrome. I, my friends, and everyone in my family despise any slang pertaining to it or any other mental disability. If you use such words around me, I will destroy you and your hometown with my mighty robots.

how you know me

I've found tons of people so far on MySpace. I've joined hundreds of these things before, but this seems to be the one everybody is actually joining (which is important for a networking site). To some people I've already found, I'm one or more of these people... That guy that did that one thing to your computer that one time. That guy that worked at Hot Topic/World of Science/Alladin's Castle at the mall. Some nerd from Crest High. The keyboarding shadow on the back of the stage in various bands. Andi's husband. Eric/Brandon/Rob/Patrick's friend. Someone you thought you had hallucinated.

I'm currently working a ridiculous amount and trying to fit in at least four band projects. Current band projects are: Technology Vs. Horse, Android Ascending, Secret Project I can't tell you about, and Halo8 ( a NIN cover band, oddly enough )
