Who do I think I am?

I think I'm one person that knows way more than I should. Through experiences in my life, I have learned many things. One of them being computers.... For many years, I have tried many trades trying to find my way in life only to one day discover computers. You can ask both my ex-wife and my current wife what they hated the most about me and both will say my computer. With my first computer, I called tech support about helping me install my first modem. I was on the phone with the same guy for 3 days and he taught me many things. I never called tech support again.

I played with computers constantly learning everything I could:

repair
building
dos
windows (all flavors)
web design
audio editing
image editing
3D
and currently working on linux

As I stated earlier, I am a partner in a webhosting business. Only I'm the one that is NOT silent. I'm the one everyone turns to when something needs fixing... I run the hosting website, handle the customers, and currently working on learning the backend of server maintance.

More personal:

I have been married twice.

First wife - Sandi
Second and current wife - Jenny

Kids - Jo dee, Patric, Adam, Joshua, Kaylee

I had one cat, Moo (short for Moolitty which was short for Malotto Kitty. He was black and white). I had him for over 10 years and the only thing I got out of my first marrige. He was the coolest cat in the world.

I have my friends, I have my good friends, and I have my close friends..

Good friends are good to have. They are awesome companions. Even though you don't hang out as much as you would a close friend or confide in them as much, they are still there when you need them. And you are there for them when they need you.

Good friends:
Dave - Vic Vanity
Tom - Twostroke
Mike - Playa
Wayde - World
Walt - Guardian
Andy - KC8SPD

Close Friends are far and inbetween. When you get a close friend, keep them by your side through thick and thin. Be there for them in their times of need and they will do the same for you. Be honest about how they make you feel and a close friend will do anything and everything they can to make the other happy.

Close friends:
Kurt - Kurt Kaoss - KC8SBX
Rich - Dick - KC8MAT
Robert - Robert

What else can I say?

Am I happy with my life? To a point I guess.... I mean, I'm happy with my life, but I'm not... I love my wife, my kids, and I suppose I'll always have a very small spot in my heart for my ex-wife... I mean, I did marry her and have kids with her... But it will never be anything like I have now...

I value my friendship with my best friends... Even when they piss me off...

I don't know, I guess there is a ton more about me as you will someday discover in reading my life and times here... You will see when I'm down and what brings me down. You will see when I'm up and what takes me to that level.

I hope you enjoy peeking into my life's journey from this day on and seeing what makes me tick and what makes me tock....

Sincerely,
Chip, Marshall, and RudeDog
