Twins are on the way. Its going to be a wild time for my wife and I in the near future. We didn't expect twins, but when playing make people, you never know whats going to happen. Our future will be filled with just about everything a life can contain. All the joy, the sorrow, the happiness, the sadiness, love, pain, hardship, all of it. For a person of my age, knowing I've been on that path once before, and accepting the journey again, when it will only be harder, call it love, insanity, what you will, but it was my choice and all I can do is my best. Pray I live long. Pray I can still learn. Pray I can still change enough to take care of more tha digital systems. I've been working on my BBS and its been slow, but I'm still at it. So I hope to continue to rebuild what I had using a different platform. phpbb was my platform for a long time. I did a lot of customizations to it, and ran it for over 9 years. It was originally so my family and I could have a place to communicate and share pictures and info without CORPs taking our data and using it for their purpose. Most of my family didn't show up on it, and they went facebook, although my girlfriend and my sister enjoyed it, nobody else really cought on. Girlfriend I eventually married, but I took down the site due to so many hackers trying to crack it. Now I start fresh with a different platform. I'm probably dealing with the same dang crap as before but I have better infrastructure setup to protect against the bullshit from the sucky part of a global internet of bullying, criminals, and all sorts of bad shit happening 24 hrs a day for nothing but exploit, compatition, power, and $$, oh and just eviliness. So for a couple more months I'll continue working the bbs, and prep for two new little ones, and a full year of suffering. I hear it gets a bit easier after a year, maybe those who say so just got a little tougher. At my age I aint getting any tougher. Please find joy in life. Find love, at least for yourself. Have compassion for yourself and others.
