Redeem your 
First name: Kyle
Screen name: Degenerate108
Tell us a little bit about yourself :
I’m Kyle, I’m 28, I work full time in a food bank, I love my job and the people I work with. I get up each morning knowing that I get to help take care of marginalized people that really need the help. Although I love my job I would love to further my career into civic government.
When I’m not working I’m hanging out with my children, they’re my best friends and seeing them happy means the world to me, in the summer we go for walks and that means we always have time to stop and look at everything we find a long the way, watching them grow and learn is one of my most favorite things to do.
I was born and raised in Brandon Manitoba, It’s the second biggest city in Manitoba Canada, terrible roads but it’s home lol.
I’ve been with my spouse for 11 years now, we’ve been together since high school, she’s my best friend in the whole world and I love her more than anyone else. I come from a large family, we’re spread out across the entire western half of Canada. I am also a lifelong double leg amputee, I don’t see things as obstacles rather they’re things I want to accomplish.
State, Province or Country? Brandon Manitoba Canada
Astrological sign? Virgo
What do you usually play on Pogo.com? I play a little of everything, I enjoy competitive games the most though, usually the fuller the room the better. Dice City, poppit, yahtzee, everybody wins bingo and lottso are a few of the games i most frequently visit.
What did you have for breakfast this morning? I don’t usually eat breakfast, I did have a bbq chicken and vegetables lunch though. Very tasty.
Do you have a life philosophy? Life is short, and and you only get one shot at it. No regrets along the way.
What is your favorite Pogo.com game? Hmm Poppit was the first game i ever played so let’s pick the classic.
What’s your favorite TV show? The Walking Dead
What’s your favorite drink? G2
What’s your favorite season? Spring/Fall
Apart from Pogo, what are your hobbies? I love music, and walks and conversation, I can talk about anything so long as I have an interesting person to talk to.
What’s the last good book you read? lol honest answer, De-Escalating Potentially Violent Situations, and before that St. Johns Ambulance CPR and AED training guide.
Who’s your hero or heroine and why? Hero’s are the epitome of the mountain, I’m more interested in creating my own path, rather than following down someone else’s.
If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do? I’d probably spend it pretending to be a spooky ghost, so I’d be scaring people. Lol.
If you could gently remove any celebrity from the spotlight, who would it be? Justin Bieber or Rob Ford. And it would be gently.
Do you have a clean joke you can share with us? Lol nothing that would pass the censors I’m afraid.
How long have you been playing Pogo? This account I signed up with in 2002 i think. But I had an older one I made in 1999.
What makes you a unique Pogo fan? I dunno, I’ve been around in some form or another since almost the beginning lol.
I can usually be found on Pogo.com playing: whenever I have a bit of free time, usually in a multi-player game room the fuller the better.
Coffee, tea, or soda? G2.
Sugary treats or salty treats? Hmm dieting, fruity.
Cat, dog or small rodent? Cat.
If you could remove any emotion from mankind, which one would you choose? Self-entitlement, and lack of empathy. People are so involved with themselves these days that they often miss what’s happening all around them. The good and the bad.
What an honor to meet you.You sound so upbeat and heaven knows we need more people like that.
I,also loved watching my children grow and gave them every chance I could for that to happen.
I have,on occasion had to use the food bank and was treated with such dignity it almost made me cry.
Your philosophy of not being disabled is an inspiration to all of us.
I am also Canadian,Alberta,BRRRRRR!!!!
I must say my mother is my hero..not that I want to follow a path but because she raised 3 children by herself in a day when that was unusual.
Perhaps we will meet up in a game one day but thank you for putting a smile on my face and for just being you.You are a treasure.
I forgot to mention how cool your hat is but maybe leave it off if you decide to run in an election!!!
Yes, what they all said and more! You have a great life, (this makes you at the top of that mountain, and you have raised up your children/family), you always will with the present course. yeah another The Walking Dead fanatic!!! If I weren’t clear down here, (just below Lake Erie), I would have to come and make a Sunday night The Walking Dead party for you and friends!

I think this is the best spotlight I’ve read yet.
Instead of whining about poor me and striving to make everyone else equally as miserable, you bust your butt to help others less fortunate than yourself.
A lot of people could learn a lot from you. You have my admiration.
I couldn’t have said it better :-)
neither could I… :-)
I have to agree 100 percent.
What an inspiring man you are!!
Oh man I want that hat lol.. your player spotlight made me smile.. Its so awesome to have a loving strong family and I wish many many more decades for all of you.. I love how you enjoy time with your kids.. I love that too although mine have grown.. I used to call it the wild eyed wonder.. when they would stop and look at a little bug and it was the coolest thing they had ever seen.. blessings to all of you.. Lisa
A very inspiring and uplifting story… thanks so much for sharing it! Wishing you all good things.
AMEN to your self-entitlement answer. I enjoyed reading about you in the spotlight. You have a great attitude.Keep on smiling you are an inspiration to us all!
Loved your Spotlight, you’re an inspiration to me. It’s wonderful to see someone who thinks of others first and has such a loving heart. You’re much older than your years, an old soul. God bless you and yours. Stay Golden.

Well, when the rest of this household wakes up, I will ask them what they meant by that comment.
Congrats on your spotlight Kyle.
The comment had to be written by a child. Adults know that whatever is one word.
Always one horse’s butt to show their face! GO AWAY!
FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.
From one Manitoba person to another I wish you all the best. You have a fantastic attitude. Good luck and God Bles
Another Virgo! We are becoming popular! Thank you for your kindness and great spirit, especially for those less fortunate.

Kyle, it is stories like yours that restore my faith in mankind. Congrats on what you do and how you do it. Keep up the good work. And best wishes to you and your beautiful family.
Kyle,
your Spotlight is well deserved. You do so much for others that have little or nothing, a person like you makes me believe there may yet still be hope for mankind. Hope you have enjoyed your week.
Is a honor to know you, you deserve to be in the spotlights,with the things going on in the world,this is a great ..good luck to you and your family,god bless you.hope some day to meet you in one off the rooms
Thank you Kyle for a peek into your life. You seem like a very sweet and loving person. I wish you the best in life my friend. It’s good you spend quality time with your babies.. they grow up too fast! You have a heart of gold!
When I spoke to Dengenerate108, and called him an old Soul…….I merely meant that in spite of his age..even if very youthful, he has a prescence about him that suggests wisdom and level headedness that usually only comes from life experience…….did not mean anything bad.
An all-round nice person. Thank you for sharing. I have that hat but in a different color. :)
