So life is still moving on for me. Still working for a local cigar shop. Still spending time at bars with friends. Not much to really report outside I'm taking two vacations this year. One to Cape Cod in August and one to Disney World in October. Looking forward to both of those.

I'm going to try and make a couple cons next year. Still up in the air but I might try RainFurest and BLFC. I know I will be at TFF and TBRU again next year. Can't miss the local stuff.

Life is good, nothing to complain about. Hope everyone else is doing good.

I had a super great time at TFF this year. I had to work during some of it sadly. It was great to catch up with so many furs! Thank you to everyone for a great time. This has always been just so much fun. Looking forward to Furry Siesta now.

In other news. I'm now 32 yrs old as of writing this. Where the hell has time gone?! lol

Keep it safe out there! lol

Seriously, this has been a pretty good year. I closed RT again, this time for good. It was good time but our time is way over.

I'm now working for a cigar shop, which is my passion. I love it and very glad to be getting into the industry. Let's pray it takes me places.

Still single but getting more comfortable with myself. I did a lot of reflecting this year (growing up) and seen how badly I fucked up my past relationships. Lots of people I loved, I never said anything to. I let more stuff just hangout these days(no dick in public, just a metaphor.) If I fancy someone, I say something. If I get old and still single, there is always the bathhouses lol j/k.

Got some pretty good art this year and only attended one furry con. It was a fun time though. I'm back on track to go to TFF in 2015. I will also be running Cigar Socials at Texas Bear Round-Up again this year. I also want to make SmokeOut in Vegas.

What other useless info can I give you? Got any questions?

This is always a tough question for me. For me, I love the art. My characters are really just me in fur for the most part. I enjoy going to the conventions and hanging out with furs. I have never felt there is any one thing you have to be into, to be a furry. There is so many aspects. There is the art, fursuits, spiritual and then just no other place to fit in. I have met a lot of great connections over the years in this community.
Random thoughts hehe

So I have been bidding on some of the YCHs. I have only done it once before. I think there over done but the ones I'm getting seem hot. This got me thinking about what art I would actually like to get in the future. So here is a list. It is very much TMI and some might go ewwww. Just move along if you don't like it.
***New reference sheet that shows different outfits(Streetwear and leather) and cigar.***
Pony and Tiger as Taurs
Pony in a Lolita dress
Pony as a cuntboi
See what I mean by TMI
Hoof fetish were pony is getting his hooves reshoed and shined
Bear with a group of subs
Pony in a kilt with a hardon lifting the front
Tiger with his stripes melting off (can be water, chemical or something)
Pony with breasts (Hyper maybe)
Pony hooked up to a milking machine (shaft)
Sitting in a robe having a sub light my cigar
Laid out on a car
Micro in a cup of coffee
Drawn with Biker Mice from Mars with matching bike.

Just a small list, will add more later. Just random stuff in my head.

I have had a influx of new watchers all of a sudden. Welcome to all the new peeps. Just weird to suddenly have 20 new watchers in a week. Makes me wonder, if someone is talking about me?

So TBRU(Texas Bear Round-Up) is over. I had a amazing time this year. I ended up on the core-team helping with the cigar socials. I hosted 7 cigar socials over the five day weekend. We had a blast. I just can't say enough good about the whole run, volunteers, staff and attendees. It just went very well. Looking forward to helping out next year. For those that don't know, its for gay bear...not a furry fandom thing. Just a bunch of hairy guys getting together to enjoy each other's time.

So this is really all that I have been up to. Just planning for TBRU and helping get things ready. The only things I really have planned now is to go camping next month. Maybe go to Florida in May and going to Wichita, Kansas for a bear run in July.

*hugs to all* Love you all and hope everyone else is doing good.

Yep turned 31 today...pushing grey muzzle. Already thinking about how a grey muzzle will look like on pink.

Simply Amazing! This was the most fun I have had at a convention, in a long time. It was amazing seeing everyone. Got to see friends I have known for 12 years! I just can't say enough good about this con. Hotel was great, staff was simply on point and friendly. They had a nightclub set up in the basement. I was very glad to get a room by myself. Was very worth it. Only downsides was some parking issues and elevator con. That is very normal for conventions though. Had good food, cigars, drinks, conversations and just simply a lot of fun. Heard a couple amazing djs like Recca and Genki. I'm gearing up for TBRU or I would think about trying to make FWA. I have just really begun to enjoy myself in furry again. I don't expect much going in, just some time to see friends and enjoy. To all the wonderful furs I got to see again, meet for the first time and bother...thank you! Hope to see everyone back next year! Already looking forward to Texas Furry Fiesta 2015 - Toon City.

Looking forward to another fun year at TFF. It has always been a great time. As always, it is a treat to myself for my B-day. Sometime the con falls on it. Not this time but close enough. Got a couple friends coming in from out of town. Going to be some great food runs and maybe even a cigar social. Can I say I'm looking forward to this, again? hehe I'm doing pretty good. Soul is in the shop. Hit some metal shelving stuff on the freeway. Just some minor body damage. First issue in two years since I got her. Other than that, all seems good. Hope everyone else is doing good as well.

So I'm really looking forward to Mad.Bear. This should be a lot of fun. Never been to Madrid or Spain in general. Going to be a giant tourist outside the giant bear raves hehe. I'm going with my partner of a month. We have been friends for a while now and decided to try it out. Having a great time so far. He is very much into the leather, cigars and such like myself. He does and like about everything I do. Makes it all very simple. Been to Houston, Austin and East Texas lately. Random events. Just back to enjoying life for the most part. That is about it for a update. Hope everyone is doing good. Love your faces *hugs*.

I had a amazing time! I might be burnt to a crisp and sore as hell but it was fun. I walked helped carry the Bear Pride Flag with the Dallas Bears/Leather Knights float. We had a great turn out to help support the two groups and to show pride. The parade was route was packed and seen some familiar faces in the crowd.

So I am Spike. I have three characters: Pink Pony, Rainbow Tiger and a Kodiak Brown Bear. I enjoy cigars, going traveling and food. I have recently changed my diet over to Gluten Free. This is because I have found out I'm gluten sensitive. I also don't eat chocolate because of being allergic. I spent a lot of time out with cigar guys. I live in DFW, Texas. I love watching sports. Spending time with friends. I'm also into leather and kinky stuff. You have probably figured that out by the art I like. Bears are hot...just saying. I love music and movies. Not much of a gamer or anime fan. I'm a softy with a hard shell. When I bark, I normally bite. Guess that is everything. If you want to know more, please feel free to note me or IM me.

I haven't really got any new art commissioned of my characters lately. Mostly because most artists are charging a bit more then I would like to pay. I understand when a artist gets popular, there prices go up. There are people out there willing to pay a lot of money for art of the character. Just seems a bit much. I just have to play out in mind: Do I want to go out and have a good time this weekend or spend money on furry art? I wouldn't mind spending like $15 on sketch like you would do at a con but finding that on FA seems to be hard these days. Most artists charge $35 for a sketch *gags*. Now I don't mean to undermine anyone's art. I'm not trying to say it isn't worth it. Just seems a bit of a waste to me these days. I will still fill up the butt journal at cons and post those. Just wish there was more sketches for 10-15 bucks. Enough of rant for me today. You all have a wonderful day and week. Love ya all.

Oh and Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were amazing!

I'm not moving, just going on a trip. Going up to Halifax and then up to Prince Edward Island. Just spending the week touring the island. Taking my mother and grandmother on a fun trip. Just thought I would let people know I'm doing good. No one ever sees or hears from anymore so never know hehe. Hope everyone is doing well and love ya all.

You know how much I love gear and pony play so I entered. Had to let others know as well. Would love to see one of my friends picked as well.

So life has thrown some pretty big curve-balls lately. About a week after I turned thirty I got the worst pain in my foot ever. It seems I gave myself the Gout. I had been eating nothing but steak and hamburgers for over a week and drinking nothing but beer and soda. So I basically was asking for it. Since then I have changed my diet a lot! I'm eaten like a hippie and drinking tons of water these days. This and using a iPhone app to help manage what I eat has created weight loss. I haven't dropped a lot. Only about 15 pounds so far but a lot of it will be coming off.

That is the main curve-ball, everything else is just your day to day stuff. Just seems like I'm making more side steps and moves then I did last year. Though I have found a really good cigar group to hang with. Found more people to be myself and comfortable around. So doing good really. Being happier and healthier is never a bad thing.

So this coming up weekend is TFF2013. I will be there. I'm very much looking forward to seeing peeps and hanging out. Should be a really good convention this year. I'm going to try and make the most of it.

Also next Tuesday, I turn 30 years old. That is right, I'm becoming a old man lol. I'm very much looking forward to being 30 though. I'm pretty much stable in my life and enjoying it. Don't have much to complain about. So Feb 26th marks the date I become a true Daddy Bear hehe. Well I can try and act like one at least. I still get a lot of cute cub comments which is nice.

Big shout out to  cursedmarked, he has done a amazing job with all the Christmas Cosplay characters. I'm super looking forward to seeing the full piece. They are a amazing artist.

Beer!

Figured I should put some kind of update out there. Not much going on. I have had a horrible sinus infection since the day after Christmas. Finally getting it over it fully. Still taking antibiotics which kick my ass. I have gotten everything setup to attend Texas Furry Fiesta Next month. Also looking to attend the local bear convention here, TBRU. Should be a lot of fun.
Hope everyone is doing good.

I had so much fun this year. Was so great catching up with friends and hanging out. I can't tell you how much I needed that. All the furs I met and hung around with were just way too much fun! The trip up was even a blast as shown here ----> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9285494/

Thank you to everyone that put it on and put up with me. Cheers!

If you play Happy Street, add me on Game Center...BossPony. I need more friends and red crystals so bad!

Starting to get ready for Midwest FurFest. This should be a great convention. I will be skipping out on Friday though. Plan on going around Chicago and have a nice dinner and such. I will be there non stop though Saturday and Sunday. Will also be around the hotel on Thursday some as well. I might end up staying until Tuesday. Just waiting to see. Just so excited!

Thanks to all the help from some awesome friends for making the vid happen!

So I got this new Kia Soul back in Jan. Well it already has 17K miles on it and probably going to reach 30K by the end of the year. I do way too much driving lol.

Really though, I have been to Austin in it twice. Oklahoma in it a couple times. Been to Huntsville, Al. in it. Then I also went to Memphis, Tn. in it. Now I'm getting ready to go all the way to North Carolina and Chicago in it. Burning them tires up!

My trip coming up in a couple weeks is going to be the biggest one this year. I will be taking my mom and grandmother out to Asheville, Nc. and Savannah, Ga. We are also stopping in Memphis and Gatlinburg Tn. as well as Charleston, SC. and Meridian, Ms.

My Chicago trip will be for MFF and then stick around to see family in Il. for Thanksgiving. That should be a lot of fun too. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to stop on the way up and back in Springfield, Missouri. Just to make the trip less stressful driving.

Lets start off with, yes on Sunday night a Tornado touched down 3 miles from the hotel. Scary!

So Kyo, Teal and myself left Thursday morning heading to the convention. We some how stayed ahead of the hurricane front the whole way. Outside of some crazy wind, we breezed on into Ms. We got into our room right away and set in motion to take a shower and catch a quick nap. That night I took Zapnut and Sable to downtown Memphis for some chow. We hit up Rendezvous for some BBQ and Flying Saucer for some brews. We also stopped and got some more local brews for the weekend. Turned out to be a great idea. I was able to stay away from hard liquor all weekend and was good. Friday we hit up some Japanese Sushi at Osaka's for lunch. It was super cheap lunch for as much sushi as I ate. One of the biggest meals I had the whole con. Friday night Zapnut and Kali joined me for some Gus's Fried Chicken. Omg it was sooooo good. I got registered on Friday as well. Got a new badge from  from-the-lotus. Saturday Kyo, Teal, Kali, Zapnut and I squished into my car and we hit up Tom's BBQ and Deli. It was amazing BBQ as always. Saturday night hit up Krystal's which is always good as well. Made a bunch of jokes about Kyo's Dirty Dozen. Sunday i drug Zapnut, Shiva and Sairo out to the Arcade Restaurant. It is one of the oldest ones in Memphis. Three of us got the grilled peanut butter and Banana sandwich and we sat right next to the Elvis Presley booth. I was so happy. Food was great too. That night before the big storm I got Whimpy's Hamburgers and found it they are from Zapnut's area of England. Also watched Zapnut try and eat a triple which was hilarious.

So big storms, power went completely out on Sunday night. We were all rushed into auditorium for shelter. The staff did a great job with keeping everyone safe and informed. The comedy relief needed to be yanked off the stage but other then that was good times. The power came back on couple hours later. The convention was a great time over all. Had good food, great convos, some very good local brews and got a new con badge. I couldn't ask for more out of a convention. I for sure will be back next year at MFM. Was great seeing everyone and meeting a couple new faces. Love you all. Looking forward to MFF now.

I just can't wait, in a little over a week I will be on my way with  tealfox and  kyo_foxtrot in tow. I'm just so excited. I'm really going out to just say hi to friends I just see once a year at MFM and for the great food. I have a list of like 8 places to eat. Going to gain so much weight this year hehe.
