Shadows of Air Hockey (wait, what?)
10 years ago
Recently I looked in on FA and saw that I had 1400+ watch items I had yet to peruse and that there were well over two hundred journals that needed clearing out. So I undertook that task, with suitable breaks, and now I'm down to no journals (I admit I don't read ALL of them... eheh..) and 450 some odd items left in my watch list.
Yay.
In other news, Beyond the Veil is pretty dead. I want to write the rest of it in novel format and I may get to that someday, but not today, and tomorrow's not looking great either. It was a good project, lot's of fun, but in the end it just didn't serve the purpose I wanted it to.
The new project I'm working on with my wife and sundry parties is also still on hold pending greater financial stability. Don't get me wrong, I'm not having problems but I would like to hear, "We'll bring you on full-time" before I devote the kind of coinage and time into another comic that I dropped on BtV. I have no regrets, but I would gain a few if I didn't learn from my mistakes.
In other other news, I'm back in the gym on account of I have gotten sick and fckin' tired of the marriage 'spread.' I no longer work 12 hour shifts five days a week in the dead of night with an Army gym and an Army chow hall to help me stay regular with diet and exercise. I now work days, with odd off days, and enough money from contracts that, "Let's go out tonight," doesn't cause me to pull up my bank account or wonder if my credit is maxed. This is a bad thing when it comes to controlling what I put in my face. More discipline is needed.
I've also taken up Air Hockey again. We'll see how it pans out, but there's a Nationals this October down in Houston and I and a few friends of mine will be going. Back in the day I was ranked as an Expert, which means I was in the mid to upper 30's worldwide. I have a few friends here locally to play with, and one of them (when he's practised) is easily a Pro-A player. Another friend of mine flying in for the tourney is a former two-time National Champion. So I was never really that great a player, but I enjoyed the hell out of the game. This time, I'm going to take a systematic approach and actually train for the tournament. We'll see what comes of it. I doubt I'll break the pro ranks but I won't embarrass myself. At the very least I won't have the same problem I had at the last three day tourney I attended, which is that by the end of it I could barely move my right arm to shoot. I will be fit(ter) so help me Gawd.
Y'all take care now.
(TLDR): We're fine, we're all fine here now, thank you.... how are you?
Yay.

Sorry, had to respond to the TLDR.
