Lady Tigger, we miss you.

This morning at 7:05 our cat passed away. Lady Tigger, one of the nicest, cutest, and most loving cats that I've ever met has passed away. I found her this morning between our bed and the wall, she had fallen and could not get back up from where she was. She had been very weak for almost a month, and has not eaten anything substantial for over a week. She has been barely able to walk from being so weak, and that is why she could not get back up from where she was. My wife and I carefully got her up from where she was, and she was still with us at that point. We covered her with a nice warm towel to help warm her up because she was so cold. It was obvious to us all that she would not be with us much longer, she couldn't even make a noise when she tried to meow. As my wife was holding her wrapped in her nice warm towel, she silently, and painlessly, passed away, held in the warm loving arms of the woman who has loved her so much for just shy of 17 years. Lady was just days away from her 17th birthday. Lady, we love you, and we miss you.

Yes, I finally updated those links over here ---->

I was informed that was annoying to see those default links on the side and I needed to update them so I did yesterday. Allow me to explain what they are, and why you should visit them. The first one is for Go Fish Graphics, a freelance design company I have recently started with a friend of mine. The site is still a work in progress, but you can still see what we offer and contact us. The second is for The Chainmail Guys. This is another site in progress that is dedicated to the business my wife and I set up along with a friend of ours making chainmail armor, accessories and all around cool stuff. You can see us every June in the NJ Rennaisance Faire or at the upcoming Wicked Good Time and Wicked Faire in November and February respectfully. *Thumbs up, cheap Foley pop here* The third link is to Atomic Merkin. The 'Merk isn't as easy to describe. It's a discussion forum where you can talk about anything from wrestling to music to television to general off-topic insanity. I spend a lot of my time there, and thier sister site Wrestling E-Feds (which happens to be link #4). While you're at WEF, be sure to check out Fanboard, the best of all of the feds there (I'm not just saying that because I'm the champ, either).
So, there. Nobody can complain about my not updating my links anymore :P

What do me and Alex Rodriguez have in common?

Well, read on:



I guess it is the curse of the neophyte blogger. Now if there were naughty pictures on here, I'd be getting 1500 hits a day. So be warned people! Start visiting my blog or I'll be posting naughty pics of myself on here, and nobody wants to be responsible for that, now do they?

Found something out yesterday...

Apparantly CampinMom has a unique way of letting somebody she is on the phone with know she wants you to hang up. I was talking with her yesterday, and out of the blue, she says "No. Go away. Go away." And then silence. The line was completely silent. Well, this little blogger figured that he was just promptly dissed and dismissed and hung up his phone. Apparantly I was mistaken, and it was just a coincidental sequence of events that lead to my circumstancial assumption. (Wow, such big words! And all in the same sentence! Me head hurt, me no say no more big words) Her child was asking her a question at the same time that her call waiting was going off. She was telling him to go away so she could answer the other line and I just got her end of the conversation. Now, anyone who actually know CampinMom should know that this story is absolutely true, as any of us could be caught up in the day to day wackiness that is her life. We both got a good chuckle out of it, and I got a good blog post out of it.

Yeah, I took the weekend off...

but now I'm baaaaaack! Didya miss me? Well didya?

Didn't think so, nobody misses me, oh bother. *Done with best mopey Eeyore monotone*

Anywho, thanks to any and all who voted for Christina. She didn't win the car, but she won an Xbox 360, so she didn't do too badly.

And for Campinmom,

Schoolhouse Rock, you say?
All I have to say to you:
Conjunction Junction

And now, a special request...

My friends' daughter Christina Wollmann is in a KIA "Live in it to Win it" contest! She has been living in a KIA Sorrento since last Friday with 3 other people; whoever lasts the longest wins the car! One contestant has already been disqualified.

Today, since there's more than 1 person left, they are having an online vote for the winner that ends today at 4pm Eastern. So I Need All Of You Who Would Like To Help, To Please Vote, And Pass This On To Everyone You Know Even If They Don't Know Christina!

This is from her bio on the site saying why she wants to win it so badly:

Tell us why you think you deserve the Kia Country Sorento!
I deserve to win this Kia Sorento because I am actually giving it to my mother. My mom went for back surgery this past March for a severe herniated disc. Unfortunately, the doctor made a mistake and caused her to undergo a second surgery. She is slowly recovering, however her current car is aggravating her back, slowing her recovery. She is too great of a mom to be in this kind of pain and I would like to give this car to her in hopes that it is better for her.

Tell the B92 listeners anything else they should know about you?
My parents would but a new car for her, however, we cannot afford to because this past year has been full of tragic events. In the past year, my sister had her appendix removed, I lost my baby at 5 months, my mom had 2 surgeries, my stepdad was in a near fatal motorcycle accident, I was in two car accidents and I have had to have my wisdom teeth removed. All of these things have caused an enormous amount of bills, therefore, she can not afford a new car. Please help us and vote for me.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

And then there were three....

Yep, today is post number three. And you know what they say? No, not three strikes you're out! Boy, what a tough crowd. They say, "Three is a magic number!" OK, well maybe it's me that says that, or one of the voices in my head, who knows. Anywho, to mark this monumentous occasion, I have designed this following piece of art:



Yep, you guessed it, I'm bored. B.O.R.E.D. Bored, that's me...

Blogosphere: Day Two

Here it is, the second day of my existence in the wonderful world of blog, and I have managed to keep out of trouble so far. Any who know me should be amazed at this fact. Nothing much of note today so far, but if anything develops, I'll be sure to post it here, so stay tuned.

Well, why not?

Yep. I joined the blogosphere. I figured why not? I can use this as a place to post some graphics, and more importantly, ramble on about useless things without having to hear the bored sighs of my wife and child (as well as any poor, unsuspecting passerby). If you're bored here reading what I have to say, can't say I'm sorry as you came here under your own free will. Caveat blogtor - Blogger beware or something like that...
