About Me
Gaming History:
I grew up on NES, SNES, and N64. Then took a break from gaming for a few years to party and be in a band in high school and college. Then once I was out of college I picked up a PS2 and started playing again. A few years later I picked up a XBOX 360, then a Wii, and finally a PS3 then an old modded XBOX that plays NES, SNES, Genesis & N64 games. I have since sold the Wii because I never played it. I don't play PC games. I buy all multi-platform games on the 360.
Let's get personal...
I was an atheist for the first 21 years of my life, then God showed me He was real in an extremely powerful way that I just couldn't deny no matter how much I wanted to ignore it. I then spent a few years doing youth ministry and traveling North America sharing the Gospel. After that I was a Spanish teacher in private and public schools. I then became a sales/product trainer for Best Buy. then a sales/product trainer for Toshiba's Laptop division. I know train for PayPal. I am single and have 3 fantastic sons, one of which has Autism which has it's challenges but he is such a great little dude. I am a musician; I have played drums for a little over 14 years. And dabble in a little classical guitar.
I am a very passionate person. I love my sports teams; RedSox, AZ Cardinals, and PHX SUNS. I enjoy a great beer preferably a Pale Ale or IPA. MOAR HOPS! I'm always down for an intelligent discussion; The more profound the better. In my opinion Gamers get a bad rep, because of a large percentage of gamers are immature tools, who lack couth. I'm in no way a violent, blood-lust filled person, like those you hear on Xbox Live or PSN spouting of racial slurs or obscenities. I just grew up on games and they've stuck with me.

So I've already posted a few CBLOG's, but never did a proper intro blog telling you who the heck I am. Yeah who are you? Gaming History: I grew up on NES, SNES, and N64. Then took a break from gaming for a few years to party and be in a band in high school and college. Then once I was out of college I picked up a PS2 and started playing again. A few years later I picked up a XBOX 360, then a Wii, and finally a PS3 then an old modded XBOX that plays NES, SNES, Genesis & N64 games. I have since sold the Wii because I never played it. I don't play PC games. I buy all multi-platform games on the 360. 
Let's get personal... I was an atheist for the first 21 years of my life, then God showed me He was real in an extremely powerful way that I just couldn't deny no matter how much I wanted to ignore it. I then spent a few years doing youth ministry and traveling North America sharing the Gospel. After that I was a Spanish teacher in private and public schools.

(Me at the Bacardi Factory in San Juan, Puerto Rico) I am a very passionate person. I love my sports teams; RedSox, AZ Cardinals, and PHX SUNS. I enjoy a great beer preferably a Pale Ale or IPA. MOAR HOPS! I'm always down for an intelligent discussion; The more profound the better. In my opinion Gamers get a bad rep, because of a large percentage of gamers actually are insecure, immature, tools who lack couth. I'm not a total prick like many of those you hear on Xbox Live or PSN spouting of racial slurs or obscenities. So if you want to play some online games with someone who will actually be fun to play with hit me up. I prefer to play with people who have mic's and use them.

Also, you seem to enjoy the work of Bill Murray, but no GroundHog's day? Peculiar...
Welcome!
"Ned... Ryerson. "Needlenose Ned"? "Ned the Head"? C'mon, buddy. Case Western High. Ned Ryerson: I did the whistling belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson: got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn't graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson: I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple times until you told me not to anymore? Well? "
And Thank you!
Hopefully less people will call you a religious nut once they get to read this and find out you are just a normal guy. :)
Eh, the world's going to pot, all you can do is make sure you don't go to pot as well, let God sort out this stink-hole of a species out and just make sure you lead a life good enough that others can follow your example.
I'll stop preaching now!! Did you make these shops yourself?
For the images I just use a FREE program called Paint.Net. It's like MS Paint, but with many more features. Here is the URL http://paint.net/
Then for other images that take layering I just use PowerPoint. It actually has some great features for editing images.
Again thanks for the welcome. GAME ON!
And you do have awesome tastes in games.
Thank you. Even if I do get guff, it's no matter. I just put the two things I really like together. I've endured much worse than that. But thanks for your concern, that's good of you.
I looked at your profile, good gosh you have a lot of systems. I have never even seen the PANASONIC one in person that you wrote about.
Again thanks for the warm welcome!
P.S. Sorry we haven't had the chance to play some BORDERLANDS yet.
I'd love to discuss God and spirituality sometime, but not now, I'm too busy on FF12 ;)
