Cado Taurus

Hello my name is cado taurus , i was checking the forums for a few things like i always do , (about mesh tutorials etc.) and i stumbled apon a question , how has second life affected your life ..... Well here is my story , i got out of the military and was sitting at home bored one day with my wife , she told me about second life back in 2006 or 2007 , i started playing and didn't like it at first until i was told , "you can build stuff and sell it dude " i was hooked from that point on , i have seen this virtual world destroy relationships , cause parents to ignore there children , and people become social when in the real world they are not . and many pro's and con's - for me i learned to ignore the drama and keep building and meeting people . when i got out of the military i thought of myself as a stupid grunt , thats all i did , but i now build and do many things here and help others and have joined many groups that i have had friends in for many years , many of them i have seen in person , I even got divorced from the person that introduced this virtual world to me , but in turn i did find another person i met on sl and we have been together for 4 years now and i have two children i have custody of from the previous wife who intorduced me to sl , (she was one of the people that ignored there children for this virtual world ) Anywho , we have been together for a while with my two kids , and we have 1 child together who is 2 now and we are very happy playing sl together and bieng together - along the way we have seen drama , happiness , anger , and tears -- and pixels . but all in all it has affected me in a positive way i would think , it takes strong will and a great partner , along with some freakin brains to stay in this game , so i salute all of you - but my story is my own and i would not change it . I'am a builder , when i was told i could not be smart enough to build , I'am in world and out world with my wife - when we where told relationships dont last over sl . My name is Cado Taurus and that was my story Been here for a while and going strong
