Hiyo

That is usually the way I make my presence known in a skype chat...or when I text a friend to say "let's hang out tonight".

To start off, I failed at writing ANYTHING, ANYWHERE about PAX, now PAX Prime (not West, that is just dumb.). This blog has been inactive since and mainly due to no traffic. Most of anything I write and want people to read, goes up on my RT journal. I will be going to PAX East in 23 days though and will blog my way through it.

I worked retail this past holiday season and I think I would have preferred to be MOS Qualified and shipped to Afghanistan/Iraq instead of doing that again. It was horrendous. Here is the deal with holiday shopping. The majoirty of the people in this world (and I say majority because there are definitely exceptions to the rule) who shop during the holiday season are rude pricks. The work I want to get into will be tiring and will require me to exert a ton of energy but nothing compares to energy sapping from working in retail during the holiday season.

Coming up though I have a fun month ahead of myself. PAX East kicks off the festivities in late March. Two days after that, I will be heading into Manhattan to meet Gabe and Tycho for their book signing. Yep, I am driving to Boston (as well as flew to Seattle) without meeting or having the intention of meeting the guys behind the Expo. The end of the week, I will be heading to ComixNY to see Iliza Shlesinger perform live. April 5th, Sonata Arctica will be in NYC performing and I don't want to miss that.

April dies down until the 24th when I head to Castle Conquest at EMR Paintball in Pa. Defending the castle with JJ, Bob, and my friend Uccio. I have bought some gear for the game and am very excited for this. I think the numbers are 14,000 attackers against us 1,000 defenders.
