About

2gunsI am a 27 year old part time pre-nursing student and full time settlement analyst (I work with numbers.)  I own a home in Martinsburg, WV but am from Florida, and Maryland.  I am living in sin with my fiance, Steven, and his son, Stevie whom I take care of as my own.  I have a cat named Phoebe, and a pit bull named Lily.

I was 13 the first time I got on the internet at my neighbor’s house.  I was fascinated immediately.  I remember talking to someone from Cambodia and thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread!  When I was 16, I got my own computer and an AOL account.  I was involved in warez under the name PsYcHeKaOs.  When the novelty of that wore off, I got into message boards and became actively involved in a number of modeling and automotive forums.  Modeling was a temporary passion but I still love my cars and my baby is my 1994 Pontiac Trans Am GT.

I graduated from high school and went straight to tech school to become a network engineer.  When that didn’t happen after I graduated, I joined the world of mobile communications and stayed there on and off for about 6 years.  I dabbled in loan processing, travel coordinating, and marketing and advertising in between.

As it is right now, I’d love to find a way to work from home so that I can continue my education and allow our family to grow.  I spend my time watching movies, going to parks, festivals, concerts, camping on the beach, swimming, and spending time with Steven, his daughter Skyler, Lil Stevie, and the animals.

Several years ago, I started blogging, but found I enjoyed posting about news articles and new things I had discovered.  Thus, the premise behind this blog.  When I read news stories, find gadgets, or attend events that I find interesting enough to talk about, I will post them here giving my utmost and honest opinion.  Sometimes it may not be pretty.  I can get a little feisty about things.  I’m blunt, and honest to a fault.  Love me or hate me, I’m able to entertain most as long as you have a sense of humor and aren’t easily offended.
