05/27/04: Well, not much happening except money would be nice.  I started making animated gifs, just because I could and it was something I could focus on.  I am no artist, but I can cut, crop and paste like a pro.  Here are a few:
Dr. Blink avatar I made for LJ.  Celbrating the printing of Dr. Blink #0 a freind of mine is helping with over at www.drblink.com

This one is from the comic strip "Frazz" which appeared in the sunday funnies on 5/23/04

This one is taken from the Tron 2 video game with the main character on a supercycle.  Enjoy

04/16/04: In case you haven't noticed I have a blog and moblog now.  So why have this? because I haven't figured how to link the two.  Maybe i can figure out how to do it someday.  Anywaz, selling off almost all of my MWDA Les on ebay, and hopfully I might have a new job by next week (caved in to working at a big box store)

Life still sucks.. because my car died. And my life isn't getting any better soon

My Live journal

Otherwise my life SUCKS. No job (at least one that pays) and my FLGS banned me for no good reason except that people don't like me

02/11/04: I hate the cold, i really hate it.  Especially when THAT day  comes up.  You know what I am talking about, the one that makes every single person without anyone special feel like a total loser.  February 14th.  There should be a anti-valentines day that only singles can celebrate.  But nooo, only married couples with kids have lots of money to spend, so guess who corporate America backs?

Oh, btw George Dumbuya Bush said outsourcing jobs is a good idea and stimulates the economy and global trade.  WTF does he know! Unemployment and underemployment is going up and tax breaks for the rich are getting better and better.

I just hope everyone remember s that W got elected by the supreme court, even though a majority of Americans who voted did not vote for bush, but Gore.  Get the moron out of the white house!

But, things worked out in the end.  Until I misplaced my keys to my apartment. ARGH! Had to find someplace to crash, before I got too cold and died.

Working hard again with stuff that doesn't pay anything.  Play testing, finally doing some major web stuff. Hopefully I can get the online rulebook working this week.

Got my Name in the credits for another WK game.  Now people can blame me for how horrible the games are LOL 

11/29/03: I just got Dork Tower #25 the other day and was very please with the Comic, John did a nice tribute to Charles M. Schultz in there.  Thanksgiving was okay, too much time was spent watching TV, and people wanted to see the Parade, the dog show, or a Movie.  I wanted to watch the Packers :(

11/23/03: Really been in the dumps (Again) I don't no why, a lot of pressure is coming up and one of my most dreaded holiday seasons is coming up.  I like Christmas, but I do not like what it has become recently.  On the 26th I realized the year is almost over and not much has changed.  Then I have less then a month till my birthday.  Then I find out that most people spend too much over the holidays and don't have much to give me, or help me celebrate.

2 wants for my B-day and Christmas.  A job that pays 30k+ a year, and is enjoyable.  A girlfriend that loves a cares about me.  I might as well wish for world peace too *Rolls eyes*

09/21/03: Good news! Got a job with Out-of-the-box.  I will be their new Warehouse Manager in Dodgeville. WOOPIE! Here is a project I have been working on for a while.  It is an Online rulebook for MWDA similar to www.mkrules.net.  I still need to add some pictures and the FAQ, but it is mostly done for now.  Check it out here, or on my favorite links page.

08/21/03: Lots of things happening again.  Convention season for me has ended.  Gencon and Origins were a blast.  Got lots of loot, and was able to make a pretty penny by selling some of the unwanted stuff on E-Bay.  Hey, if people want to spend oodles of money to buy my stuff, they are more then welcome.  Wizkids has treated me very well, but they still wont offer me a job.  Hopefully sometime this year something will be offered. I feel I already know the company very well and would end up working very well with them.

07/10/03: Origins was a blast, I got to meet so many new people, and got re-aquatinted with some old ones from last year.  Things just keep on getting better and better for me each time.  Next stop is GENCON! At origins I was helping out with the MWDA world championships and had a great time.  Maybe I will get to see you at Gencon.

06/19/03: Ha, less then 1 month from my last update.  Going to Origins next weekend, got everything planned out.  I just to meet up with whomever I am sharing the hotel with and I will be set. I have updated my photo gallery with some Pics from Wizard World East.  Things have been rather busy since I am in the process of moving to a new Apartment.

05/22/03: What to say? lot's of stuff happening.  I really cannot believe it has only been 3 weeks since I last updated things here.  Some highlights.  play testing the next expansion for MWDA right now called "Liao Incursion" as well as the scenarios for September.   Also getting ready for my trip to the MWDA national Championships.  Going to be a blast.  non-stop MWDA for two.. maybe three days

04/27/03: In the process of selling some Limited edition figures on E-bay.  My goal is $1000, so I can go to some conventions.  Or at least pay for Wizard World East.  Not much else is happening except that I am going back to my job #1 after a week of vacation.  Not looking forward to it.  Especially the part about getting up at 3 in the morning.

04/20/03: Almost got my big trip to Wizard World East to play in the MWDA national Championships figured out.  still working on my 300 point army, but I don't think there are many good choices.  Did a little playtesting for the expansion of MWDA after DFA, a whole lot of fun, and probly going to scare some people on what is happening in the universe.  If people don't know, I am still single, and still looking *sigh*

02/16/03: Valentines day sucks for me, my jobs sucks my future seems to suck, and often I feel the only thing that doesn't suck in my life is my vacuum cleaner.  How am I suppose to enjoy life when I have to sell stuff on e-bay to make sure I can pay for things.  Oh I do have my enjoyable points in the day, but I would like my quality of life to improve. Hopefully the resume I sent into Wizkids will help land me a job there.

02/08/03: Whoops, it has been a long time since I blogged.  Well, lets just say things are starting to settle down after the holidays.  Odd-con is coming up and there are a few things needed for that. I have a few more personal things to deal with.  And as Feb 14th rolls around I get all these "Great" reminders how lonely I am.  I am finding more and more that Girls want a cute rich guy instead of a Smart witty Gamer ARGH!

12/29/02: What has four legs and all ways ready to travel? An Elephant.  So Christmas has become another downer, as usual.  bring Christmas.  Argue, open presents, argue, have Christmas dinner, and tell everyone how wonderful it was.  Yeah I got some nice presents, stuff I asked for.  The only person that was giving from the heart was my niece, with a scarf that she sewed on a cutout of her handprint.  I am wearing it all the time, and it is a constant reminder of her for me.

11/4/02: My web comics are not going to be up anytime soon since I got a little problem with my camera.  Be on the look out for Snap Dragons #3 printed by "Dork Strom Press" the author liked the idea I gave her, and is going to put my likeness into the next issue.  Not much in my life is happening otherwise.  fairly boring.

10/19/02: I'm BACK! Sorry folks but it seems my server moved without me knowing.  I am glad it is back though so much to talk about.  First off, Rock-Con was a blast, picked up a lot of loot and swag.  I won Axis & Allies: Pacific in the raffle :glee: and scored a 1.5 inch square single sided Chessex MEGA-mat for 50% off. :glee: And finally Farmer Peterson is now in my photo Gallery, and I am working on some Web comics based on Wizkids Clix figures

9/22/02: I'm famous, or at least I would like to think I am.  Check out Dork Tower #20, next to Mr. Kovalic Also in the latest issue of Scrye top of page 28 you can see my face sticking into the upper left picture.  My next feat of being famous is to write an article for Scrye about Mechwarrior: Dark Age. Wish me luck, I need all the motivation possible for this one.

9/16/02: heya all. Been a while, but I also have been very busy lately. I have gotten very into Mechwarrior Dark Age recently.  I am at the point now where I cannot get enough. The sad thing is that I end up running an event during the only real time I can play.  So I kind of cheat and play against the Bye players.  Sadly, I don't get much competition that way. I think I am developing some bad habits.  But it gives me a good chance to try out some armies.

9/05/02:Ahhhh! overworked underpaid, don't worry it is just a phase.  I quit job #2 (Kwiky-Mart job) and started working at my gaming store of choice. Also I am down there as a non-employee running events.  I am trying to get Heroclix stuff going, but I need some nice person to promote it, besides myself.  Hopefully I can get someone doing MWDA and I can focus again on mage knight.  Be sure to mark your calendars for Rock-con (Oct 12th-13th) going to be some extra special stuff going on there ;)

8/22/02: #$@%! Bad pulls. 20 Mechwarrior Dark Age boosters and I only pull one unique.  AND IT IS ONE I ALREADY HAVE! #@$%! And they guy next to me buys 5 boosters and pulls 2 uniques.. the first Mech he pulls is the MadCat III #$%@! Almost made me want to stop right there. If I wasn't one of the first BattlMasters and running the campaign next week I would have.

8/13/02:Whooooooot! Gencon was a complete and 100% stupendous blast.  I got to meet so many people and so many good things happened I cannot believe it. I was placed in the tourney hall as a head volunteer, I had offers to help out at other cons.  And I brought home a box full of loot.  Got to meet the National Champions as well as a bunch of the Wizkids staff.  By far the best con I have ever been in.

7/28/02: *walking on air* You ever get that feeling, that no matter what happens in your day, nothing can ruin it? It has been like that this weekend.  There was a storm that came by late at night Saturday, took out the power, but it was not too heavy of a rain, and it was mostly cloud to cloud strikes.  Beautiful, I stood outside and watched if for a while, marveling at the controlled power God has created.

7/25/02: What to say? It really sucks when you ask a girl out and she says "Next Week" and then falls off the face of the earth ARGH! anywho.  Things are gearing up for MWDA coming in 2 weeks to Gencon.  If you want to see me. I will be volunteering for Wizkids all 4 days of the con, I will be either in the gaming area, or chained to a Demo table :)

7/18/02: Bah! Back to work again.  Back are the days of being tired, and working in the hot humid weather. Salt mines again.  Ya know, I really like to find a Job where I make 30+K a year, and don't have to sweat to make that money. Well, hopefully some week in the future I will be able to go out on a date again... been 6 months already since my last one.  Not to bad considering the last hiatus I had in dating lasted 5 years

7/09/02: Hey Yo! Finally recovered from origins, and I spent about 40 hours working at the convention.  I did a LOT of MWDA demos and had a blast.  I also Officiated in the Mage-knight National Tournament.  Met a lot of Realmers there.  Also Wizkids promoted me as one of their FIRST BattleMasters. WOO HOO I got some Mechwarrior figures already, can't wait until Aug. 7th!  Check out my photo album for more pictures

6/23/02: Got 5 events I am running at Origins, Campaign, Booster Draft, Conquest (2000 points) 200 point 'Bring your worst' and a 300 pointer.  Also I will be helping out with Warlording the nationals (bribes are being accepted, paypal is preferred ;) Still kind of sort of looking for a room for the 4 nights.  at least one that does not have 12 people crammed into one hotel room.

6/14/02: Origins Origins! July 4th - 7th in Columbus, Ohio.  I will be running some Mage-knight events there... hopefully, I am still waiting for the go ahead by the powers that be.  Should be a blast, sorry about the Galek nor battle report, It is taking a lot longer since I got about 70 pictures to sort thru and about 12 hours of gaming to condense into a webpage, and coherent battle report

6/02/02: Woo Hoo! Played in a HeroClix Marquee hoping to win, but since I SUCK at the game, and pulled mostly crud, except for 2 figures that cost over 100 points, I got 3rd place.  Got the fellowship award (Constrictor LE) and traded him for Annihilus!  When building armies, never use Hulk against a range army.. it just don't work :(

5/19/02: Saw Star wars the 2nd time.  I realized that the first half of the movie is just a build up for the big battle.  As a SW fan I have to say it has it's good points, and bad.  Some of the lines are corny.  R2 and C3p0 end up being just annoying and distracting in the end. oh well.  At least I will be able to se Matrix II and LotR II before the LAST star wars movie comes out.  man, that is scary.

5/11/02: As I have studied the Bible.  I realize no matter how much I study, belief still remains on faith.  People believe in scientific theory largely based on faith. Even ancient Greek philosophers believed there had to be one God, and not many.  Blessed be those who believe, and yet did not see.

5/8/02: Been in the Dumps lately, just been depressed and all.  Haven't been able to really talk to anyone recently. Also I have a severe irrational attraction to being lazy right now.  Maybe it is low blood sugar.  Or the fact I have not been able to get much sleep lately.  Why do I have to spend a third of my life unconscious? It's SO unfair

5/1/02: It seems the feedback form does not work. so you are going to have to e-mail me at nresgremlin@hotmail.com for any feedback. I think I might just go with a guestbook for now.  If there is going to be any updating, it will be here, the interests section, or the photo gallery.  Anyone got a spare digital camera?
