Stranger Danger!

Wow......it's been a while.

I know I've said that before, but I actually have a good reason. Better than writers block or the occasional bouts of apathy.

I moved. I left the north. I escaped.

My time leading up to the move was pretty occupied. You know, all the work that goes into moving plus working plus trying to spend time with them I care about. And I do care about my northern friends.....even if I never call.....ever again.

Don't give me that look.

In any case, I'm sure you can appreciate that I had some pressing concerns and so this got slotted to the back, back burner.

But I'm back. And I did not forget my promise. There is a story coming here. For those of you not in the know, read my previous post from.....8 years ago or something. It's coming. It'll be there....here....whatever.

Don't give me that look.

Before we get to that, however, I just wanted to say this.

To all my northern friends....

I love you guys and gals and miscellaneous. Leaving you folks was difficult. More difficult than I'll ever admit. You've made the last 10 years......an experience. You were there for me during the bad times and ready to celebrate during the good.

I was made a better person (though still kind of an asshole) for your having been there.

Thanks and I'll miss you.

So, to break up this little mush fest, I've only one thing left to say....

I blame Whitmore.

Disclaimer

Before we get down to business, I've gotta fill you kids in on a few things.

As stated before, Coming soon to a blog space near you will be a story I've been working on for some time. Dungeon fantasy/Lord of the Rings kinda deal....just so you know what you're getting yourselves into.

Don't roll your eyes at me.....

With any luck, you'll enjoy it.

I do some borrowing of other sources in this story. Dungeons & Dragons being a major contributor.

Don't roll your eyes at me.....

Hopefully Wizards of the Coast (They own the rights on that, yes?) don't shit themselves and sue me as a result. Calm down guys, I'm not making money on this, don't call the lawyers.

Another major contributor is a good friend of mine who I'm also hoping won't mind the creative liberties I've taken with his work. He put a lot of time and effort into the creation of a realm and writing the book so that we could enjoy it.

Thank you for Desultra. Please don't send me hate mail.

And the players. Your twisted minds have given this layers that likely would result in psych evaluations if your names ever got out.

Ultimately this whole thing is just an exercise in creativity and not all of it is mine. To all those who have made this possible, thank you. Hopefully you enjoy my spin on your works.

I guess there's not much left to say......

I'm gonna go grab a drink, you want anything?

A Quick Correction

Seems a bit of confusion has resulted from the last post. Likely could have been avoided were I to use actual names in my posts, however, one can never know whether people want to be associated or mentioned in such ramblings. Indeed, I don't even know I want to be mentioned here....

In any case, I can see how this would have cropped up.

No , The Help is not engaged. I was actually referring to someone else....who'll continue to remain nameless in these blog parts.

Sincere apologies to The Help (who was mentioned due to my borrowing of "Deep Fried Awesome") and anyone else who got the wrong idea.

Free massages to all those affected.

Question Time

You read the title. I have a question for you. Yes you. Just you because you mean so huggy muggy much to me. My love for you is like a truck.

It's been what.....a year or two that I've been doing this blog. I've gotten positive feedback, which is nice and I do appreciate the kind words. But ultimately, there's not all that much separating my ramblings from those myriad other populating the internet. Some variance in writing style perhaps. Differing ideas on where best to insert the word "fuck". Though, surprisingly, considering my prodigious use of it in everyday chatter, it seems to make less of an appearance here than one would expect.

Funny little world. Or, funny little mind.

Fuck.

I feel better now.

Where was I? Right!

Here's my blog. Talks about my life with (hopefully) slices of interesting, and for The Help, deep fried awesome. Though I think I'd prefer sauteed awesome personally.

And on the other side, is the story I've been working on for some time. Ultimately, the goal was to turn it into a novel.

I'm not going to go into too much detail, suffice to say it's a dungeon fantasy type story. Yeah, yeah, I'm a geek. If you didn't know that, you haven't been paying attention. And no, I do not live in my parent's basement.

The thought I've had was to toss out the story in bits and pieces to you, my loyal readers and fellow occupiers of the lunatic fringe. Novel in blog form.

I sincerely doubt I'm the first to head down such a path, but I'm thinking it's got a little more punch than reading about my week......or month, such is the frequency of updates at present. If you like, I can squeeze that in too.

So.....thoughts?

On a side note, Carl needs to be tossed in the river. Some of you know what I'm talking about.

On another side note, a huge congratulations goes out to a good friend who recently got engaged. I wish you and your fiancee many, many years of deep fried awesome (The Help rocks!).

Also.

Fuck.

It just feels good.

Homecoming

I can hear your voice at night.....

It finally happened. After almost 10 years(!), I've decided to vacate the north in favor of the warmth of the south.

I'm gonna miss this place.....

Sure, it's got it's share of bullshit. Possibly more so, but I've had a lot of good times here. Met a lot of great people. Indeed, I'm likely to not find finer anywhere else. I mean, they tolerated me.....for 10 years! They deserve medals, every fucking one of them.

A lot of memories.....

But it's time. Time for new experiences and adventures......and likely some royal fucks ups along the way.

Also, some sexual advances made towards trees. Those of you from the north will get my meaning. No? Oh.....ummm.....yeah, me neither, nevermind.

On a completely unrelated note for you gamers out there, go play Skyrim.

I mean now.

I'll wait.
