Quiet Days

You know, quiet days are something to be truly cherished. And the more of them I have, the more I seem to realize that there is a whole generation behind me that seems to not understand the power and joy of simply having one. I sat down, drank quite a bit of tea, watched the weather move around, and worked on a few projects for myself and others. Wasn’t exactly planning on doing it, but it would appear that I’ve inherited yet another of my grandfathers traits. I appear to be allergic to the elastic commonly used in socks. My leg was swollen, and I’ve broken out… not exactly a comfortable experience.

I spent a little bit of time researching solutions to this matter, and among others found a solution in the oddest of places. Seems there are special diabetic socks, and said socks have no constricting band at the top, and hence, no elastic at all in them. Example: Diastar Comfy Feet Diabetic Socks, 3-pack. So yea, I guess as much as we joke about getting socks for christmas as kids, they’re gonna be on my wish list this year. Grandma’s gonna love hearing this one…

Speaking of, the weather here in Idaho is starting down the path of “lets get cold at night”. Which means that fall and winter aren’t far around the corner, and my personal favorite type of weather is coming quick. Lets just hope we don’t have another record breaking snow fall year.

Welp, more soonish.

Tweaks and More Coming

So I really decided that orange wasn’t my thing. Why green? Well, it just kinda works for me. I’ve started slowly working thru the template, and hopefully within a couple days or so I’ll have a nice little personalization of it. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, but just haven’t gotten around to it honestly. Kinda feels nice to get a couple things done.

In other news, I apologize for my silence of late. I’ve had a lot on my mind, and even more on my plate as it were. It’s been a very insane month for me, and the next one doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down at all. :( Crazy how things work out like that huh? Oh well! Starting into better weather, and that should help a bunch for me personally. Love the winter!

Anyway, just a quick update to say yes, I’m alive, yes I’m around, and yes I’ll be updating this sooner than a month from now.

Hi Tyson!

So I’m usually a generally calm person. Anymore? I’d say I’m very laid back, easy goin, and upfront with the things I say. I try not to hide things, I try not to add drama where there need not be. Eight days ago I posted this statement on my twitter about a comment I received on my website:

I just love getting threats from people who don’t even know me, know who I am, or know anything about me. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Oh, and it makes for GREAT fun for my comic relief notebook :) Oye, another day done, another one to come. Can’t believe some people these days…

The comment in question? A comment posted to my “Something I need to say…” post I made a little while back. A post thanking people who have been in my life, and getting back in touch with people. (Which ironically, facebook has helped me do more than I could ever have imagined). The comment? Glad you asked:

I had this guy who looked a lot like you trying to get close to my wife about 4 years ago. He even had the balls to show up at my house while I was at work and lie to her about asking me if it was OK first. He was totally hung up on her from a friendship they had in the past and was lonely and desperate, so he was hounding after a married woman.

Yesterday, while playing some computer games with my wife I saw his profile pop up on her Facebook. Obviously, I was surprised to see his profile on her page, as the “relationship” she had with him previously had almost ended our marriage. You see, she has asked me to remove all of the female classmates of mine from my Facebook page, which I did reluctantly, so to see someone on hers that was the cause of so much stress in our marriage blew me away.

I confronted my wife about it today and she said that it had been 4 years since she had talked to him and that was all in the past. He is still single. He is still searching for love. He is still desperate so in my mind, he is still dangerous to our marriage.

I think that it would be best for my wife and him he he just go away for as long as we are married as it will continue to be something that bothers and stresses me out. If the day comes and we ever split for any reason at all, then I am sure my wife will do what she pleases and contact whom she pleases but if that even happens and until then, stay the Fuck away. Got it?

First off, let me admit it. Yup, I showed up at your house while you weren’t there, to see a friend I had known for 10 years. We didn’t do anything wrong, we just talked… caught up on old times, whatever. Sure, you’re going to say “oh but I heard such and such from so and so”, yea, well, you’re wrong. Moreover, I never pretended at all that I had your permission to visit, nor would I think it necessary to obtain as a marriage doesn’t involve one person running the aspects of the others life… But maybe I’m not as old fashion.

Anyway, since that fateful visit, and the issue that then happened with your marriage, I have kept my distance, I didn’t even speak to my friend these past 4 years out of respect for her attempting to save her marriage after you got all overreacting. 14 years I have known your wife, since before you were even in her life, and I put all that friendship aside because I respect what she wants.

I’m not desperate, I’m not a danger to your marriage… Hell, if anything, your over reacting is going to cause more harm than good in this matter. Perhaps you should do a reality check? Think about what it is exactly that’s hurting your marriage, look long and hard in the mirror, and question deep down within yourself before you answer that too.

At any rate, I’ve got nothing to hide, I’m not going to sit by idly and make you think “oh hey, I got to say something so profound he won’t even approve the comment on his site!”. (Question though, after 4 years, you still remembered my website? Amusing…)

Anyway, in closing, go ahead and post whatever you like, I’ve got nothing to hide, and nothing to be afraid of. My life is more in order than you give credit, and you’ll only find yourself looking like the business end of a cow.

More Fun with Recording

2 more fun little videos I made while playing around. Getting more and more comfortable again with Vegas and it’s utility. Just thought I’d make a quick post sharing.

Oh yes, and coming soon ™, a post regarding what I posted on my facebook a couple days ago… Til then!

Playing around with Video Editing

So I’ve been playing around with editing video recorded in Fraps, and started recording some of the gaming I do which occupies my mind and keeps me sane some nights. The following is one such result, and I figured why not post about it here, so um yea, without further delay, I submit the following for your viewing enjoyment:

Leave a comment, let me know what you think, I’m kinda having fun with it, so it’s a good little project.

Anyway! More later.
