Hello all
My name is Don . I live in Colorado Springs Colorado with my wife Danni of 4 years (no she's not 4 years old what are you sick!!), and our 2 kids ''Mayhem'' (our son, 3 yrs old), and ''Chaos'' (our daughter, 7 yrs old). These people, my family, are everything to me. Without them I am lost. If you want proof of that you need only talk to my good friend Pearl. She'll tell you it's true.
We also have a little spasmodic hairball running around in the form of a six month old male sheltie named Scamp. He looks like someone stuck Lassie in the dryer and shrunk him.
Pearl wanted to set up this web site for me and asked me to tell you a bit about myself.
The best way I can think of to do that is to use the old adage what you see is what you get. I once tried to fib my way into making myself appear to be better than I actually am and it almost cost me my marriage and family. That's a mistake I will not repeat.
I am very vocal. That is to say that I have no problem expressing my opinion on a subject. There are those that will call that attitude, or sarcasm. I prefer to think of it as brutal honesty. That is to say that if you're afraid of the answer, don't ask me the question.
You probably noticed that I have a lot of comic related material on the site. That is because I have been into comics all my life. I'm basically a 31 year old kid when it comes to that. Over the years I've even taught myself to draw and color the way that comic artists do. People that know me have often made the statement that I ought to pursue a career in the art field. My art is a hobby. It's fun. If I got a job doing my art, I'm afraid it would lose it's fun angle.
I am currently going to school at a local college in Colorado Springs. My Father was in the Air Force for the first half of my life and his career took our family all over the world. That's where I got bitten by the travel bug. I am pursuing a degree in the travel field. In October I'll have an Associates Degree.
The nickname Ravenslayer came from an accident that I had on the way home from visiting my wife and kids while we were separated for a time.
It was on my way home from one of my first trips to New Mexico to visit them that I came apon a group of 3 crows that were sitting off to the right side of the highway picking on God only knows what, 2 of them had the sense to fly off to the right as I approached. The third however waited until the last second and took off to the left and flew right in front of my car and ''viola'' I am now known as the Ravenslayer.
What really made this story funny was the fact that the trip didn't go very well for me and I was in a very bad mood. So when I hit the crow, my thought was ''Well that just tops off a really crappy weekend, doesn't it?'' Then I looked in the rear view mirror and I see all of these black feathers flying everywhere behind me. In my darkened state of mind at that time I thought that was pretty funny. When I think of it I can't help do chuckle a bit even now. Not like the surely devilish giggle that happened when I saw the feathers flying, but I laugh a little just the same. Hey, it's sick I know, but that's how the the name Ravenslayer came to be.
Please come again we update frequently.
