Hello, I’m my name is Steve. I’m a 32 year old software developer. I’m an only child. So yes, you can consider I was spoiled. I grew up in a very small town in the great state of Missouri. It was a place where pretty much everyone knew everyone. I’m married to the most wonderful woman in the world. Excluding Dolores of course! In the years that I have known her she has made my life better each and every day.
I graduated from the University of Missouri. I’m very proud of that. I truly enjoyed my time there. So much so we recently moved back to Columbia to start a family. I’ve enjoyed the recent success in football program and I look forward to our basketball program getting back some of their former glory. I’m ever hopeful that we’ll win a national championship some time soon. M – I – Z!!!
We have pets. I don’t really like any of them. I always thought pets were supposed to be fun and exciting. Not a money pit. Which is what are pets have become. They are a sad bunch. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat. One dog is old and he stares at walls pretty much all day. The other dog is scared of everything especially laundry. And then there’s the cat. Who basically barfs on our carpet almost every day. For some reason I think we’ll be prepared for kids though. Because putting up with this group is a chore.
I have an addiction with reading blogs and researching cars. I hope this blog will take the place of me reading so many others. I can spend hours upon hours researching the next great car and reading the next great blogger. There is just tons and tons of content out there to devour that I could probably just do this all day. That’s I guess why I wanted to start my own blog. To get the things I have say off my chest. I want to be someone I read everyday. Hopefully I’ll make it just that. So here’s to you jalopnik, autoblog, engadget, gizmodo, Rock M Nation, and Six Until Me (SUM) and too many others I couldn’t possibly name them all here. But I hope to talk about them in the future and link to them as well. They are great blogs that I enjoy dearly.
In the spring of 2008 I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This obviously has put my life on an entirely new course. I’ve written an entire post on how I come to find out I had the betes. It’s quite a read. I’m sure I’ll use this outlet to let it all out from time to time. I’m still in my 1st year after diagnosis. So it’s all so new and intriguing. We’ll see how I feel about it in 5, 10, and 15 years down the road. I know it won’t be easy. I’ve read so much from other bloggers dealing with this chronic illness. They are inspiring to me as I hope to inspire someone as well.
