Well this year has been a rollercoaster alright. I've been to a lot of conventions, created a lot of new items from t-shirts to uniforms to leather holsters for Nerf guns. It's really been trying and tiresome at times, seeing my own bed maybe once or twice a week, but it's been worth it. I have a few things in the works right now, and I have a ( Read more... )

Well, this last year was certainly something else. I opened my own store, lost the store when the mall closed on me(it's still standing...), learned a hell of a lot more when it comes to my leather working, made some new friends, and actually finished up a few commissions ( Read more... )

Well, it's that time of the year again and both Halloween and Youmacon are almost here. As it stands, it's going to be an extremely hectic week for me but I'm sure the weekend is going to be a blast ( Read more... )

Okay. I'm really, really depressed right now. I just got the word that my dear friend who I had looked up to and wanted to aspire to be like just died. He had been a very important person in my life who I looked forward to seeing and helped me to look for the best in people and inspired me to keep moving forward and look towards the future and ( Read more... )

Well, life really knows how to stick it to me. So after opening my store, it's already time to close it. As it is, they're kicking everyone out of the mall at the end of the month. So while I'm gearing up for Anime North and A-Kon(just did ACEN this last weekend), I also have to move out ( Read more... )

So I've found an advantage of having a store in a mall. When there's a Game Stop doing a midnight launch and the staff is cool like they are, the launch for Brawl can be neat. My thanks to Greg for making it out and bringing your TVs and Wii. When the launch is at Midnight, and you get to pop in the disk not a minute later with two systems, it's ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been quite some time since I updated, so many things to cover. Aside from kicking in the new year, I've already started up my convention goings once again. So far one of the highlights has been going to Katsucon, it's one the the few conventions that I truly enjoy attending. There's a lot of people that I got to catch up with that I ( Read more... )

Well, as it happens I had to go to the dentist today. Right now I'm in a lot of pain as I had to have 1 tooth pretty much gutted and filled, and what I wasn't expecting was getting a root canal. The meds I got are helping a bit, but just wow, life really does stink on that end. The root canal isn't finished either. I have to go back in a week ( Read more... )

I just got a call from my mom a few minutes ago letting me know that my aunt Lucille died. She was the oldest of the members of my family that had been born in America. The funeral is sometime today, I'm still waiting to hear back from my mom of where and when it will be ( Read more... )

Well, this just goes to show that the roads hate me. So I'm driving home from Ann Arbor on Friday morning and while I'm on the M-14, a truck ahead of me caused my car damage as the driver didn't secure a ladder properly, which proceeded to fly off and hit my car. I'm lucky right now that it didn't go through my windshield or do any tire damage, ( Read more... )
