..too many horses, and mysterious forces..

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, spent 3 years in a Missouri Military Reform School (no, I was not really a bad kid.. well.. maybe.), and after a year in Baltimore and a year in Phoenix, ended up planting roots in Kansas City. I am an IT Trainer/Consultant by trade, but my real passion is photography.I have been happily married for 6 years and have been blessed with 3 fantastic children. Fantastic most of the time, anyway.

Why go to the movies when you have entertainment like this at home? You might want to pause the MP3 player above for a few minutes.

I still dont think that is such a good thing...
