This past weekend was a lot more active then my previous ones of late.  On Thursday, I was at the FX International Show, because a friend of mine and her husband host conventions primarily in the southeast states.  Their more famous convention, which her husband has been doing for about 7 years now, is called Repticon.  Now, they are starting another convention in the Science Fiction & Fantasy/Comic Book genre and will be hosting their first annual Creature Con on May 30th and 31st at the Central Florida Fair Grounds.  In an effort to drum up vendor support, she needed someone to...

Ok, so quick post on the state of a few things.  First, I completed my taxes last night.  After a 7 hour ordeal (had to do mine and my mom’s taxes), it is done.  Half of this time was me procrastinating and complaining about having to do taxes.  I really do believe in the removal of the IRS and in place of it a “fair tax” only system, or hey, no taxes at all.  I mean, it’s not written anywhere in the constitution about having to pay taxes on wages earned, but I digress.  During the process, I was so bent out of shape on having to do it, even while I was doing...

The crux of the show: Sam built this system and in the process of a test run, he started his downward (or upward, depending on your view) path of leaping from his...

New place; renewed appreciation I finally moved in to my new place on Sunday, March 29, 2009.  I wasn’t too sure what to expect or how I would actually feel when I was finally moved in, because this is a bit of a change for me as I am not in the normal surroundings that I am used to.  City life, the quick drive to local areas and just having the knowledge of where everything is at, while not being too far away from anything.  I’m still not that far out, just a bit farther then usual.  Yet, I have come to appreciate my new surroundings. As a quick back story, some of you...
