Why the hell does licensing need to be so damned complicated!? Microsoft licensing is confusing enough, and now I have to deal with Novell Groupwise and OES. With entitlements and groupings and license conflicts between GPL, LGPL, BSD, CC, and commercial licensing, this is giving me a headache... err

Today I am a stable man on a path of great success. In the past I have been brash, foolish, rude, and painful to be around. I left the mother of my child just after I turned 19. I did not finish college as I had planned to because of my self-destructive ways. I was a loser for a long time, until I met Chris C, Joe C, and Mike S. These three men not opened my eyes to the world of politics, but gave me a goal that was hard to obtain. They kept me busy and working long hours. They kept me challenged and gave me near impossible tasks to complete. They made sure I completed them. After six weeks of nearly sleepless nights I saw my work come to fruition; all our candidates won their races! After the campaigns, I worked at Jiffy Lube for a few months until I could get hired by November Inc, a political consulting company; Mike S founded it with two other partners. I remained with November Inc until 2005 and then started my own company, Punkdgeek Consulting. I did alright, but there was more to be had. I moved to Oklahoma to take a job as IT Director for a tribal casino and things have gone full speed ahead. I get to see my son on a semi-regular basis. I get to travel for work and pleasure. I seem to have everything I need and now I'm working on things I want. ~latez

Kids are not baggage to be thrown away; they are gifts, trials, your seed, your responsibility. I may not be around all the time, but I understand these things. My son knows who I am; how many single fathers can say that?! I found predjudice the other day and it surprised the hell out of me. Coming from a person who wants children, I was shocked and my tirade ensued. Here some of what I said. I'm not looking for a mother for my child, he already has one. I'm not looking for someone to offload my parental responsibilities on, I accept what I've been given. How pitiful can a person be to want to cut out and throw away an essential part of a potential partner because of some self-righteous concept of a "traditional" nuclear family. I wear my heart and my scars on my sleeve. To be a truely compassionate person, you need to accept people in whole not just the parts you deem acceptable. Now, I hope this person understands what I've said and takes it to heart. She seems like a nice person, just a little lacking in compassion, understanding and maturity.
