I know that everyone has their own lives, and that life finds a way to adjust our plans. Unfortunately, life has managed to find ways to push my plans into a state of shock.

I am hoping that soon I can get back to all the ideas that I had, writing, drawing, poetry, and a few others such as programming and designing a few things. One can only hope!

So, what am I up to?

I am dealing with overprotective parents, two sick grandparents (the third going blind), and four hyper children. I am trying to work on creating a video game, write five different book series, working with an author, with two artists, with another programmer, and still trying to balance time to find to go back to school after having to take a break upon my ex taking off to Europe and leaving me with the four children...

I am working on writing so many stories dancing through my head. I am writing poems as my life burns and shrivels around me. I am finding art as a final hold in a world of dismal prospect, and hoping that I can find a will beyond my own faltering confusion in this life.

I'm working on creating some workspace in the house, creating workable solutions for allowing space for my art and passions, while still not cluttering everything within my real life. I am seeking to rebirth my photography, re-spark my traditional artwork, while enhancing my digital artwork, and exploring my writing capabilities a bit further through my story lines and poetry.

I am a published poet, yet not a published author. I am a locally known artist (where I grew up), yet not known more widely. I have achieved over 500 certifications of everything from pre-law and accounting through computer programming and telephone etiquette, yet I have allowed my IBM and Microsoft certifications to lapse and not yet achieved my MCSE or CCNA certifications.

I am torn; I am ambitious; I am strong; I am scared; I am trenchant; I am the epitome of darkness. I am the Dark Angel; I have attempted time and again to escape this nickname, yet I am forced once again to take this mantle as my own.

Who am I?
I am the Eternal Gatekeeper.
I am the Dark Angel.
I am just Ro.
