Never written a blog post before. Will try to remember to do it often, but it is unlikely. I'm a gamer. I enjoy gaming with friends on xbox and/or pc. I'm mostly into FPS, RTS, RPG, and MMORPG games; but on suggestion I will try anything once. I never enjoy playing alone, though. For me, even a single player game (or solo activity in real life) still needs the company of someone else, even if they're only there to make sure I don't feel alone.

I am VERY family oriented. My aim is to be a better dad than the one that I had. If I had to pick one life skill to pass on to … when I have them, I'd be caught between my cooking and my 'social butterfly' as my friends describe the skill. I enjoy cooking, teaching, and helping others. My goal career is to become a Special Education Teacher for high school students. This was the time when I noticed and felt my teacher(s) make a real difference, and I would be happiest paying that forward.

As much as that goal is important to … and happy home come first. I'm told this is important to many women these days, so I should say it up front. I am more than happy to set aside my career to take care of family and home, especially …

I am also a non-smoker, and would enforce that stipulation on the entire house. Nobody likes kissing an ash tray. Guests or room-mates that smoke would have to take it outside, and until they are old enough to make their own choice, (and pay for it) … would not be allowed around it.
