Hey, I'm Jaime and it's good to finally have joined BYC. I've used this site as a guide from the day we made our incubator all the way through our hens' growth. Okay about me: I live with my wonderful and animal loving wife. I have hobbies but no real passion for anything(just keeping it real). I do music: composing/singing/instruments/engineering/post production. I start to write books that I never finish. I love to game and if anyone here owns a PS3 and would like to add me my PSN is abbrakadaver.(also the name of my one person band) I was a one cat guy until I met Danielle and now I live with 2 dogs, 2 hens, 2 rats, a duck and a kitten. I never wanted so many pets, never wanted to farm or anything like that but I can't say no to D. c'est la vie. Oh yeah, I'm disabled. Too many things to list there but since I am not defined by my disabilities, it doesn't matter anyway. I love life. I realize that we only get this short window in time and then that's it. Though the world is at war and so many ugly atrocities are happening even now as I sit comfortably typing this, there is also so much beauty in the world. I feel honored to have met the people that I have and every new person I meet is an opportunity to share love and beauty. I've lived a hard life. Homeless, abused, druggie(15 years clean yay!)hopelessness, attempted suicide at 28 and got revived in the ambulance, a divorce. Somehow I managed to retain a child like wonder towards the universe and everything in it. I quit smoking over a year and a half ago after about 17 years and I'm super proud of that. I love my family. I love D's family. I love my friends. I love life. I don't take anything for granted because I have had to pull myself up from the very bottom. Along the way, I learned that it is good to accept a helping hand from people and to leave that other hand free to help someone else. I see the connection of everything and am amazed. I don't care what color you are, what religion, political party, age or sexual orientation. You be kind to me and I'll be kind to you. That's me in a nutshell.
Greetings from Kansas, Jamierox, and ! Pleased you joined us! Love your joy and enthusiasm for life! Happy your life is in the right track after some rough times! Good luck to you and have fun on BYC!!
Jaime, I like you! Welcome to BYC. I too am married to a woman to whom I can not say 'NO'. As a matter of fact yesterday we celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary. We need not be defined by the things that we have done/suffered, but should never forget them because they helped us to reach the point where we now stand.
Congratulations on your 49th! And you are absolutely right about everything you wrote. I love your Signatures.
