Welcome to Warlord’s Domain

I am Sir Stephen, as you can see by the overall theme of my site, I do like knights and dragons.

I have a couple of other names War^Lords and even sometimes Da-Boss on the Internet. 

In this life I am 35 years old and I was born in the sign of Aquarius. Which is a water sign.  To learn more about this sign click the here 

My home in this life is in the evergreen state of Washington. I have been here since August of 2000. It does not really rain all the time here that is just a myth that we tell people so they wont come out here. Traffic is bad enough without adding more to it. Trust me I know how bad traffic gets around here; I drive in it all the time.

I have green eyes, and wear glasses. My hair color is black and I am about 5'9". Perhaps overweight some would say I should loose weight perhaps they are right. I know it does affect my physical well being and overall fitness. But to me its not the physical side of things that makes me who I am. Its what I have in my heart and mind.  And if you take the time to read you will discover that yes there is more to me than meets the eye.

You may look at the pictures as noted on the top of the menu, if you want to see what I do look like. There are also other pictures of my life and what I am all about.

I am originally from the Wild wonderful state of West Virginia, but I relocated out to my new home of Washington State in 2000 looking for a chance to at a better job and just to get away from things from a time to let my mind rest. 

West Virginia is where I was born and raised. It was in that area that I was shaped and my values and ideals and morals were set and created. It may be considered backwoods or remote or culturally backward area but as the motto of West Virginia says "Montani semper liberi" - Mountaineers are always free.  

What types of jobs do I like to do? My main Interest are computer, electronics, reading, relaxing, playing in IRC, and just all around having fun. Currently I am working in the computer industry. Yes I am a computer geek. And I feel I am very good at it. I work in a computer data center where I help with tech support and monitor servers.   

If you check out Tigger2's Dreamland you will learn that I have one sister who even though she no longer living is still very much a part of my life.  

Those of you who have ever lost a sibling at any age can understand the things that go through your mind at various times.  Thus the need to get away from the all the things I saw on a constant day in and day out basis that would not let me really cope and deal with the loss.

I like to read a lot sometimes with the right book I have started reading at 11 PM at night and looked at the clock after finishing the book and it is 3 AM that morning. Although now that I am older I find myself spending less time reading, I guess I should work on fixing that; it is just harder to get the time or peace to read. With work it’s very hard to find time to actually read. I guess I should try to get back into that habit. It really is a good one to have.

As for the type books I like to read, I like Star Wars and Various other Sci-Fi Books Action/Adventure books and even some Westerns and Classical Lit, Shakespeare, Kipling, and many others. 

Musically, I am a child of the 1980's and I still listen to that style music. But I also like classical as well, Bock, Mozart, to name a few, I like some light heavy metal if there is such a thing as light heavy metal. If you want to see my Music list just take a look at the topic menu for Music List. 

Want to read more about me? See below..

· When a new activity is considered, I may require support or encouragement to participate or perform in the new activity. 

· I may appear to others as hesitant rather than decisive, although I become decisive once all the facts are gathered and evaluated. I will not make a decision unless certain that analysis is complete. 

· My response indicates a strong need to be precise. This projects into the social environment by the need to have a place for everything and everything in its place. 

· I may not jump in immediately for a new idea or activity. I may need time to consider all aspects of the idea before supporting it with time and talent. 

· I function best in an environment relatively free of conflict or hostility. When tension mounts, I may become silent; and if tension continues, I may withdraw or avoid the situation altogether. 

· I tend to think before I act. As a result, the things I do will be purposeful and deliberate. 

· I will generally not act impulsively. As a result, others around me may perceive a slowness of thought or action. This results not from slow thinking, but from complete analysis of the situation before acting. 

· I prefer not to seek quick personal relationships, but rather build relationships slowly. Once relationships are formed, they tend to be lasting. 

Each person has a unique way of communicating. We use a combination of body language, facial expression, verbal tone and word choice to share ourselves with others. The following statements offer a look at the natural behavior you bring to an interpersonal relationship. 

· I dislike having to initiate new relationships. However, others may seek me out because I are a good listener, quiet and nonthreatening. 

· I value quality relationships over quantity relationships. While others may boast of hundreds of acquaintances, I will find security in deep relationships with a smaller number of people. 

· I will convey patience towards others in most situations. This patience comes from a need to maintain harmony. Others may read this as a strong stabilizing factor in my behavior. 

· I may be passive and even cautious in my behavior toward others. On first meeting people, I may be somewhat suspicious, wanting to be more studying of others than revealing of myself. 

· My strength is to bring stability, security and awareness of consequences to activities. In a sense, I may be considered as the one with the "conscience." 

· In new interpersonal situations, I may appear hesitant in relationships with others, and not easily risking or extending trust. This relates to my rather self-contained and cautious manner. 

· When asked about my opinions, I may not share your ideas or opinions openly with those asking. I remain rather self-contained in social situations. Some may perceive me as aloof, but it's really caution. 

· Because I may not call attention to my own accomplishments, I may benefit from others giving recognition to me occasionally. Constant recognition may make you me uncomfortable. 

Following are some of the specific strengths and/or personal characteristics that you bring to a relationship. These may form the foundations of many of your friendships and dealings with other people. Some will seem obvious, but you may be surprised by others. Take a moment to reflect on each and consider what role it may have played in your past successes, and even failures. 

· I tend to have very high values. 

· I are good at making certain that even small details are taken care of. 

· I am skilled at finding practical solutions to complicated situations. 

· I tend to be the "Anchor of Reality" in highly emotional situations. 

· I am good at "troubleshooting" potential problems in a relationship. 

· I don't tend to get distracted by superficial issues. 

· I generally take pride in being a strong community member. 

· I tend to set and maintain very high standards for yourself. 

In general, human beings are defined by their needs and individuals by their wants. Your emotional wants are especially important when establishing with whom you are compatible. While answering the Relationship Questionnaire you established a pattern of basic, subconscious wants. This section of the report was produced by analyzing those patterns. Our wants change as we mature and obtain our life goals. You may find it valuable to revisit this section periodically to see how your wants have changed. 

I may want: 

· To feel important, but not be the leader. 

· Sincerity offered from others. 

· A feeling of security. 

· Detailed information about major decisions with complete instructions. 

· No sudden or abrupt changes in the situation. 

· Activities that may involve friends. 

· An environment relatively free of conflict. 

· Reassurance. 

· Better planning for change in the future. 

· Others to adhere to your high standards

Many different factors determine the communication styles with which you are most comfortable. Some individuals thrive on the challenge of pointed criticism, while others are at their best in a nurturing environment where criticism is offered as a suggestion for improvement. Each of us has a unique set of requirements and preferences. Below is a list of communication styles that will mesh well with your own. Having a partner who understands and practices these traits is important to your long-term happiness. 

· Use a tone of voice that shows sincerity. 

· If you agree, follow through with your end of the agreement. 

· Use a logical and unemotional approach. 

· Provide time to analyze the data before making a decision. 

· Use a thoughtful approach. 

· Take your time and proceed slowly. 

· Approach in an honest, sincere manner. 

· Support principles. 

· Give pros and cons of ideas.

· Show patience, especially when drawing out information. 

· Respect quiet demeanor. 

· If you disagree, organize your thoughts before confronting your partner
