Story

Thanks for reading my story.

When my son Nathaniel was born he was instantly special to me and the bond we've formed over the last 5 years makes us the best of friends.

But there are times when Nathan finds it hard to understand and when he gets stuck on a particular subject or can't explain to people what he wants to.

In short, Nathan has aspergers.

We're going through the motions at this moment in time to get Nathan diagnosed.

It's no secret to anyone that I love gaming, particularly retro gaming, in fact I run a YouTube channel on it which I'm sure a lot of you came from:

It's been mentioned that I bare a striking resemblance to one Chuck Rock or 8 and 16 bit fame, so I'm getting him tattooed by another old school gamer who also happens to tattoo people for a living, Adi, from the 16 bit brothers:

The idea is everything will be filmed, so people get entertainment value from the idea that I'm getting a caveman tattooed on my back and that throughout the build up I'll do certain caveman related things, everything will be filmed :)
