At Least Its Not Myspace...

I had said for some time that I would never do THIS. I would never jump on this whole blog thing as my interests don’t often mesh with the rest of the worlds. But here I am, writing about how I never intended to write.

Why did I start? Peer pressure, plain and simple. My wife was harassing me to, friends said I would be good at it - so here I am - giving into peer pressure - like a girl on a prom date.

A brief introduction is in order, I’m a programmer living out of Vancouver Canada, with a wife of 5 years and a screaming little thing that is hurting my head daughter. Currently working as a pseudo-freelance programmer specializing in all things Java while I enjoy dabbling in Ruby and other things in my spare time. I’m also play more video games than I should and enjoy rolling around and trying to submit other men Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and mixed martial arts. People often think I’m grumpy but I’m really just shy, which is good cause I’m not often in the mood to talk…. Maybe I ought to re-evaluate that statement.

As I said, my interest are diverse but if there are any programming fathers who like to play games and get in the occasional fight, I suppose you’re my demographic.

I’m an awful speller, so if you feel the need to point it out, I’ll ignore you take very careful note of it. I also need a better title for this whole blog, so any suggestions are appreciated.
