About Me

About The Dragon...

It all started out pretty simple really....I was born on June 28th, 1972 in Sunny California in the wee hours of the morning. This makes me a crab by nature, and in other words, I was born under the astrological sign of Cancer. As such, I am emotional, sensitive and domestic. I have highly developed protective and defensive instincts. I fear ridicule; however, I hide my shyness and emotional vulnerability. I am a complex individual with mood swings that directly fluctuate in accordance with the Moon's position. I am very diplomatic, and memory is acute. I am refined, and will seldom joke about others. I am a master at the art of passive resistance and this can make me difficult to approach at times. I deal with others in a warm, attentive and caring way. I tend to be overprotective, clingy and melancholy if someone doesn't do as I wish. I am exceptionally receptive to those I care about and distant towards those I don't know well. I dislike competition, but when faced with it I can be relentless and thorough in my approach.
What a mouthfull eh? Enough psycho-babble......What am I about? Well, by trade I am a computer engineer, but my heart yearns for a more creative career. As a result I developed an online gaming community in 2000 called www.GameClubCentral.com . This is a place where people of all ages and nationalities can join together and play games with one another .. over the internet. The community we have built together there is incredible, and the respect we have gained in the gaming communities is growing. I am a very proud pappa when it comes to the GCC community. One day soon, I hope to make something like this my full time job, as it has always been my life dream to own my own business and make my own money. I have lived in several parts of the United States (Oregon, California, Washington, Ohio, and Colorado.), as well as travelled to Japan and New Zeland. A lot of this was due to my step dad's work in the automotive industry.
I am married to a beautiful lady whom is an artist both in trade, and life. Love is a very important part of my life, and it shows in my family, friends, and sometimes even complete strangers. Life is short, and it is my firm belief that you should always tell those you care about how you feel about them. You never know when life is going to completely change on you, and this dragon intends on being ready for anything! Live life to the fullest, never regret your choices, and don't let the bastards get you down!
In my downtime I enjoy camping, amusement parks, movies, books, video games, and my crackling wood fireplace. I can also be found frequenting a local Columbus Industrial club on the weekends with my wife, as well as the occasional Jazz bar. I have hiked and camped in California, Ohio, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Colorado is by far my favorite place thus far for wilderness activity.
Life is too short, love those you care about, and express yourself! I think I like the way Mark Twain put it best:
"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."

Home ownership blues
