About Me
My name is Kenny. I was born and raised in Texas for most of my life up until my higher teen years when my mother met an honest Canadian gentleman and we settled in Newnan, GA for about 5 years. After, moving back to Texas due to the financial repercussions of 9/11 (R.I.P. all victims and families), I lived and thrived in Tyler for a few years then inevitably moved back to my hometown.
During my teen years, I started developing what is known as Seborrheic Dermatitis on the back of my scalp, over the years it got worse. It has now developed over most of my face, scalp, ears, nose, and other extremities, thus it has evolved into what is now Psoriasis. You can find out more this under the Understanding Psoriasis link at the side of the page. Needless to say, it has not been easy living with myself and the way I look. Customers, employers, strangers, friends, even some family members have been known to look at me and stare, even gawk, at my face. Sometimes people will not even look me in the eye for fear of staring. It is enough to make a person wanna hate the world but to hate the people that don’t understand would be, inevitably, wrong. Though there have been nights when I have literally cried myself to sleep while going over the thoughts of the looks of disgust on people’s faces or the way people tend to step away from me in line at a store when they get a glance of me, I have persevered. There have even been moments in my dating life where girls that I attempt to talk to, just walk away and not even acknowledge my heart-felt “Hi.” Part of that may be due to the fact that I am dork at heart, but they usually walk away right after the get a good look at my face after staring for 20 seconds while I am smiling at them with interest at heart. Leaving skin flakes in your wake does not help the coping process either, but I am just one of the millions of Americans that have the mark of the Psoriatic beast. A friend of mine has just recently had his psoriasis, which he has had for as long as I can remember, has developed into Psoriatic Arthritis. Thus, my life goes on. For I am what I am.
I am a webmaster and owner of Legacy Gaming (Legacy-Gaming.com). I could not be happier. I could not be happier because one of my dreams is actually becoming more realized day by day. My dream of owning my own game shop.
During the past 5 years of my life I have worked at Game X Change, awesome little retro gaming shop located in Tyler, and I have also held employment at GameStop, it was short-lived and I advanced with no problem but the corporation itself was not really my cup of tea. The problem that I faced with GameStop, was that, like most major corporations, it was way too…well..corporate for my taste.
During my time working the retail areas I slaved away at, I have noticed that the bigger the idea gets and the mightier it becomes, the quicker people lose sight of what is true and hardcore about gamers. They are people, too! The problem that tends to rear it’s ugly head is the customers become less human and more dollar-sign shaped to the owners and management staff. Most staff, anyway. Thus, I created Legacy-Gaming.
I made some good friends along the way and I have met some interesting people as well. And, so here I am. I am 23 and living free.Online Games:
