This is my little gamer. He's very good at most of the games he plays. In fact, he has a unique talent for being able to receive a brand new game, start it without reading a single book about it, and beat it within two hours for simple games. The more difficult ones, like Halo, he beat in under a day. He's the one that's very excited about the fact that I am going back to school to learn how to make games. As a matter of fact, he has already given me about thirty ideas for games that he wants me to make.
As you can see from his name, he's not biologically mine, but I pay taxes on him and have been raising him since he was three. As far as I'm concerned that makes him mine. Nicky is a lovable boy, but he tends to go off the deep end when he gets angry. You see unfortunately Nicky is Bi-Polar and AD/HD. Right now, he's very stable on his current medication. Last year, however, he started having some major behavioral problems. It was about the time we took this picture. My wife and I were pulling every last strand of hair out of our skulls. We finally started him on a new medication called concerta. It took about a month or so before he finally started straightening out. We went through a period of hell though.
He is now very excited about the fact that his school is allowing him to take violin lessons for his school orchestra. He came home the day that they received the violins and would not be quiet about it. "Dad, we got the violins today." and "I need a white shirt, black pants, and black shoes." and also "I also need a black or red binder." and again "We're having our first contest in November." As I said, he was very excited.
More later...
