About Me

Captain Starkiller
I am a father of two, married to a wonderful woman. While kids are meant to drive you mad, many would argue that I was a bit insane already. But I do not care. The voices tell me that I am fine as do the zen crusading hamsters. In addition to posting here about my family, I like to post a few jokes as well. If anyone other than family members and friends read this, I hope you enjoy the jokes!
