That's me the day after I bought my Jeep in 2004. I go by ThePhantom86 (mostly) when I'm online but the name is Patrick. I was born and raised in the great state of Texas in 1980. I have a brother named MrGone who I guess is kinda famous, at least in the World of White Wolf. I moved to Indiana in 2003 with my brothers family hoping I may find a job as a police office (It was my dream most of my live) which didn't happen but I digress.
My love for computers started when my Mom and Dad finally got one when I was younger, which ran only DOS I believe. Of course we upgraded over time: Windows 3.1, 95, 98, and so on. I finally got my own around 97/98: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor, 96 MB of RAM, whopping fast I say. I found out about SETi@home in late 2001 and then put that computer to use. It took a very long time to process a work unit, mostly because I ran in screen saver mode.
When I moved to Indiana, my brother bought me a new computer (Section1 under the PC section). It has now turned into an obsession but most everyone has one. I have some other passions as well. I own 2 handguns : a Ruger P95DC 9mm and a Ruger SP101 .38 Special. Pro Wrestling is another. I own many videos and DVD's, action figures, and replica belts. I don't watch as I did when I was younger but I check it out every now and then. Live shows are the best!
When I'm not doing any of the above, I like to watch Baseball or Football, go see a movie, or play games on one of my PC's.
As of 2008, I am persuing my Bachelors Degree and working on getting some Microsoft Certifications. I do have a Associate Degree in Criminal Justice. I was married on October 25, 2008 to my beautiful wife Erin. I don't thinkg I could of found a better person to spend my life with.
