Alright, first things first. I bought a new laptop and had fun using it to stream some tiger time this weekend. Polished up video from that will be in my dropbox for a while at https://www.dropbox.com/s/crdpujdmx.....erToy.wmv?dl=0

I also have joined Twitter. I won't be updating too much there but for the most part it'll be about squeaky related things like streaming and such. Look for Thoroughblade crosscheck4 over there.

Still a go for MFF. Work seems to be picking up enough that I wont have to burn up a bunch of vacation time to cover. Looking forward to getting to finally spend some time with  wolfpawz Even if that time might be paw in paw as a rubber lion and rubber tiger. I don't know for sure yet what sort of costumes and or gear I'll be bringing this year as I have too much to choose from actually on that front.

Which leads me in this topic. Being "lucky". I get it folks. You like the things I have and you think I'm lucky to have them. I know most folks just say it because it's something to say, but it's getting annoying and really feels insulting to me. Yes I have -some- luck in things, but I feel like it discredits how hard I work and have sacrificed to be in the position to finally have fun things like the Mustangs or the rubber gear. I've taken my fair share of shots over the year, dealt with too many nightmares and sleepless nights worrying over decisions I've made and continue to make. It's not being lucky. It's covering my ass well enough that it seems lucky. Again, I'm not sitting here worrying over it as a personal attack or something, but just know that it gets pretty annoying hearing how "lucky" I am when I still live alone, still get mired in depression, and still take some pretty hard shots just like anybody else.

Be squeaky. That makes everything better.
