About me

My bio would have to start with one of those "excuse the mess" or "under construction" messages normally found on numerous websites. Far from abandonded, however, I'm finally starting to really balance things out in a varied and at times, hectic, life.

I recently left a job which while a steady source of income, held entirely too much control over my personal life. I'm now seeking a more equitable balance between work, family, and my own personal interests.

I have a degree in philosophy which possibly explains my fascination with the world around me and my inability to be content career-wise. I have work experience as a computer tech, graphic designer, stay at home dad (yes it IS work), and law enforcement. While I enjoy new experiences, the most consistent thing I have known throughout my life is my love of my family and my affinity for the art of writing. Hopefully you enjoy what you read and maybe someday I'll turn this hobby into a job...hmmm not sure I like the sound of that...maybe someday I'll get paid for this hobby...

Thanks.

Hobbies & Games > Card Games Why Munchkin is a good game for teens

Munchkin is definitely not the kind of game you would want a teenager to play. It’s rude, crude, sarcastic, and promotes relentless bullying and backstabbing. In Munchkin, you steal from your fellow players, conspire against them and befriend them only to turn around and attack them with your Sneaky Bastard Sword. Why, you’d think…well, you’d think it was just another day in high school. Did I mention the sarcasm? I mean really, would you want your teenager to be forced to attack their Ghoul Fiends with their Boots of Butt-Kicking? Munchkin can get really messy onc...
