shahhahahaha Shh! I was mixed up with the wrong crowd, but I got
smart and enrolled in college. 4.0 GPA going for my bachelors in graphic
arts. Even got married. So far life has been 110% better being clean and
sober! I lost like a lot of weight too (210lbs to 130), quit smoking and
went vegetarian.

I'm doing good though. I am almost done with my legal implications, just
150 bucks owed on my fine left, and I have that. Thats about it! Good
life experience and lessons though. Been using computers for over a decade,
I should have stayed "using" only them.
LOL!
=)

*edit I knew someone would notice those. I looked at the image when resizing in preview, and was like
oh man. ahahha But then I realized it really isn't much to be ashamed of. I've come pretty far! =)
I even did some time... but like the first day I was out I enrolled in school. Decided that life is too short
to waste.

You're right, you don't have anything to be ashamed of, you've done good. Congratulations and continued success!

Yeah, man, nothing at all to be ashamed of. In fact, you deserve a big ass pat on the back for where you are now; congrats. Oh, and I apologize if I at all came off like I was being negative.

Updated my setup in the basement:

I need to invest in camera light from B&H or something, hard to get the color balance right with the limited lighting I have.

8 core Mac Pro - 16GB RAM - ATI 3870 - Backup gaming for LAN parties
Dual Core 1.8 Mac Mini - Media PC, runs home theater room library
Intel I7 Quad PC with 8800GTX - friend gaming PC
Intel I7 Quad PC with ATI 5870 - main gaming PC


The computers are hidden in air cooled cabinets with temp probes:

Fair play to you turning things around mate. I had a similar situation a couple of years back, not with the wrong crowd, but I was at a dead end in terms of what I wanted to do with myself after leaving school. After a while sat around doing sod all, I am now at university studying games design and programming.

Keep the pictures coming, i'm loving them all. No mac for me yet, but as soon as I can afford one Ill post it here.
