So I'm taking family to Biltmore Mansion and we will be in Savannah, Ga. as well. Trying to come up with more ideas in that area. We ruled out the OuterBanks.

So I went to the doctor on Friday and got the all good sign. So I'm back to a life of cigars, bars and prostitutes. Well maybe not the prostitutes but close enough lol. Anyways, very glad to get back to a normal life. Hope everyone had a good 4th and having a great weekend!

So I spent this past Monday chillin' around a hospital waiting room with bad stomach pain. About Midnight I got back to see a doctor were after only 30 minutes of blood work and him poking me in the stomach set me up for surgery. Tuesday morning at 4am I was knocked out and had three small cuts in my stomach to have my appendix removed. By noon on Tuesday I was released to go home because I was doing great. First time I have ever had anything like this done. Outside of some back issues in the past but that took weeks. So with in 24 hours I went from horrible pain to slight discomfort with a shaved belly and two small glued holes. Anyways doing ok here. Just can't wait to be all healed up and can go grab a beer lol.

I had the most fun at a con I have had in a long time. I didn't really plan to do anything, so when something fantastic happened it was even better. I did plan for one event, beer tasting. There is a awesome group of furs from Austin that I look up to and admire when it comes to good living. Well they hosted this beer tasting party. They had some of the best Double Bocks and Ipa's I have tasted in a while. I brought a lot of Pilsners and Lighter beers which came in handy to cut the sludge hehe. I got to smoke some wonderful cigars for my birthday. I got a old friend to draw in my Teh Butt Journal. Ran into many, many people that I haven't seen in a long time. It was just great seeing everyone. I even helped out now and then with the con (when I wasn't hiding from it). So much fun was had. The whole Gentlemen's club was awesome but we should have taken over the stage in the corral. I'm not going to list names of people I saw or hung with because I would forget a couple hundred lol. The con was packed and it was a good crowd of people. Love ya all and can't wait for next year.

Now its just planning for Tyler this weekend, Austin next weekend and trying to make it to RainFurrest maybe and MFM.

Thank you to everyone that made it what it was. Much love.

Boss Pony out...

So my submission of my picture that made it into a magazine was removed by a admin. Sorry to all that Favorited it and commented on it. Still trying to figure out why it was removed. It had no sexual shot in it at all. It was just a picture of my mask I wore to a event. I don't know if I mislabeled the rating or what. Just odd that a admin removed such a simple piece when I have seen tons of the same masks all over FA. Oh well, it was going to be moved to scraps later on anyways. You can still see it on my Tumblr http://tehpnkpny.tumblr.com/post/12.....-nsfw-magazine

or at least someone thinks I am. I have been getting pregnant mom magazines, free diaper packs and now I just got a huge free sample of formula. lol This is just cracking me the fuck up. All of it is just cracking me up. I can't wait to see what comes next. Now I have to find a friend to give the formula too, coupons and diapers to.

Just hilarious!

Just been enjoying life lately after getting over being sick. I got so deathly ill after my big trip. Pushing so much driving and stuff into just 7 days wasn't smart. Though I'm doing great now. I just spent last weekend up in Norman, Ok. with my sir and pup brother. Had a great time and looking forward to the move up there in Jan. This weekend I will be going to a Halloween party I go to every year out in East Texas. Friend has a lakehouse and we blow the roof off of it with live band and I will be djin' some. I'm going as Friar Tuck this year. Should be a lot of fun.

Been trying to see Dallas friends more lately. I know its hard for them to get into my area, specially when everyone is up there. I also need to get to Austin and see my good friends down there sometime soon. I miss them like crazy. Also missing some friends in Alabama and Georgia as well. Being sick gave me too much time to think about things lol. Shouldn't leave a pony to think. Well not much else to talk about outside of just waiting on a commission to get done.

So lets see, 7 days and 8 states.
States in order of travel: Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and back to Texas.
Places: Harris Casino Tunica, Graceland, Casey Jones Museum, Grand Ole Opry, Ryman, Country Hall of Fame, Jack Daniels Distillery, Pigeon Forge/Titanic Museum, Gatlinburg Convention Center and Smokey Mountain National Park.

That is the shortened version of the trip hehe. Took my grandmother and mom on a big trip. We had a lot of fun but very glad to be home!

So I had a blast at MFM. It was just way too much fun. Was great seeing everyone and hanging out with great folks. Had some splendidly good food as well thanx to my buddy  k9unit and  syrph. Also had some great trip buddies,  dook,  kyofoxtrot and  tealfox. We all crammed in my little car with all our stuff and had a epic adventure.

Got a room for FC and will be hitting up Oklacon for day. Other then that, just making plans for Texas Furry Fiesta next year.

Not much else really going on in my life. Just hanging with friends and working. Miss all my Austin friends a lot. Have to get down there in October. Well pizza is done.

So haven't really posted about myself in a while. My earlier posts all seem very angsty and bitter. Sorry about all that. I am returning you to the more cheerful and fun loving Spike brought to by the letter "C." So anyways life has been moving pretty slow but other wise seems like its all going pretty good. I am getting ready for MFM and looking forward to another trip later next month as well.

Rainbow Tiger is doing good and seems we have a lot new staff that are really enjoying themselves and making the place there own. We have a bunch of new djs, dancers, bartenders and even a host. I have been really enjoying doing my sets with the help of Raimi. She is very good at getting people motivated about the contests. There has been a lot of people just wanting to help lately and making the place there home. That is what RT is all about. Its not about me or some image it has to hold up. Its simply about the staff and patrons that form the club. So yeah RT is doing very well. Still have some plots for rent and vendors spots open, had to throw that in hehe.

Personal life has been very interesting lately. I have stepped away from a lot of furry stuff. I deleted my FX account, my afterdark twitter account and couple other things. Just stepping back from anything sexual with furry I guess. This is partly because the past two months I have been visiting a sir. Warning this might be a bit much for you to handle hehe. Anyways, yeah I have been talking to a sir about being his pup. I have been up to see him hand full of times and taking it as it comes. I'm not moving up there anytime soon but as of yesterday, I am wearing his collar. That is right, I am now official a collared pup. Now let me make this clear about, this is not furry. He is not furry, his other pup isn't furry either.

Now for those that know me. This whole pup thing has been around for 8 years for me. I have had a sir in the past and he taught me a lot. This new sir is a lot different and its going to take time to learn everything but I"m up for the challenge and I feel very loved. The relationship is exactly what I want and need in every way. He isn't clingy but he is very interested in his pups. He has even been helping me work out some issues with colleges and pushing me towards great goals. Its sad that he has done more for my spirit, life and well being in the last month then I have gotten in a very long time. Now I don't say that out of spite towards exs. There is a couple of them I still care about very deeply. Though they didn't work out for a reason. I'm finding a lot out why that is now.

I knew I needed something like this all a long but kept trying to push for it in the furry fandom. Thinking the only people I could find would be in that fandom. Then I was trying for it in the bears. All this time it was right in front of me. I have actually talked to this person for years but never put much thought into it. Now here I am playing with a lock around my neck and actually smiling.

Not much other news outside I got a new bed and looking at new cars still. 6 months I have been car shopping and just can't settle on something I like for the price I want. I'm too much of a car guy at times. Damn wasted all the good material on the whole pup thing. Oh been enjoying Torchwood, Eureka and Thundercats lately. Waiting for the Big Bang Theory and Glee to come back on. Also been trying to catch a movie a week lately. Just enjoying seeing movie lately.

btw I do miss hanging out with local furs but at the same time, drama and stress have been way down for me. If any locals still want to hang sometime, hit me up.

Come talk to me at Rainbow Tiger. Got some awesome plots and vendor spots. Just drop me a im in game, Spike Nico.

Well to start with My DJ Schedule is Tuesday and Wednesday 5pm - 7pm SLT/PDT. There is always a contest for 300L+ on those days hosted by my lovely host Raimi.

We also have contest with DJ Jay Stu and Tatsuo on Monday at 11am - 1pm SLT/PDT.
We are working on getting more contests up and running like finding a DJ for Fuzzy Mondays at RT. Its all about showing some fur! Very hawt contest then too, hosted by Raimi.

I also do game night on Wed. nights after my show. We play Greedy Greedy, Una and getting a Dominoes table soon. So come by check that out as well.

Rainbow Tiger is working on having Contest/Events every night of the week. Just looking for more djs that looking to do events. You can bring your own host or we can pair ya up with one. Your also welcome to do it all yourself but its much easier with a host, trust me lol.

I don't know what is up lately but I keep feeling like people are letting me down. Most of this comes from Rainbow Tiger related stuff. Its just pissing me off more and more. At every turn someone is blowing off RT for some shitty club that closes a couple weeks later. Then they come back to RT because they have no other option. Is it wrong for me just to let them back in knowing there just going to do it again. They talk about how great RT is then they spit on it and kick dirt in its face. I'm thinking its just me because people are pissing me off in RL too. Just random people always seem to complain and bitch to me and all I can think to do is just walk away. Have I just lost a lot of respect for people and things? Is this normal?

If a job gave you a awesome position and set it all up around you? Would you leave to do the same thing at a different job with less patrons and listeners? I don't think the money is even better. It might be as there opening it but doubt they want to shell out buttloads of L constantly. No one can afford that.

Well sorry to rant at you guys. Just thought I would get some feelings out there. Also if your in SL and looking for work, let me know lol.

That is right, Rainbow Tiger first opened its doors today back in 2005. Making it the oldest still running furry club in Secondlife. We are having a huge party starting at 7pm SLT with a live band. Shmazey and the Wall will be playing live over Rainbow Tiger Radio. So come check it out!

So many people have come forward to help keep RT open that we will not be closing. The club is going to be reformed and won't be going anywhere. Plans are still not set in stone but we will be keeping it open. Big thanx to everyone for the kind words and for all the support. So maybe here is to another 6 years of Rainbow Tiger.

I will be shutting the doors on Club Rainbow Tiger in July. It has never paid for itself and I just can't stomach paying $200+ a month anymore. We have had a great 6 years. We will be holding a anniversary party on July 9th at the club. I will be selling or letting the sim go after that. It has been a lot of fun and it brought joy to a lot of people. I started it back in the day with  shadowtxhorse and he even owned two other sims at one point. There just isn't enough renters or donators anymore to help out at all. I think RT brought in $75 out of the $295 a month payment. That doesn't even count the music server payment. So after spending thousands of dollars to keep Rainbow Tiger's doors open, they will be shutting for good.

Big thanx to everyone that has helped out RT and been part of the awesome club. Sad this day had to come.

Spike "Boss Pony" Nico

Not much going on really. Just same old same old. I'm going to being make FC next year. It was a bad ass con this year. No other conventions really on my list. Still looking to do some traveling with I get the free time and some new tires. Doing a lot of "Bear" stuff and not so much furry these days. Still chillin' with my hommies though.

Also still doing the Club Rainbow Tiger thing as well. I DJ there every Tuesday and Wednesday at 5pm - 7pm SLT/PST. I'm also djing at Elegant Souls on Thursday evenings now. Its a pretty nice club as well.

I have been enjoying my monthly visit down in Austin with  DocMarcus,  Keglunek and the gang down there. Way too much fun to be had.

Big shout out to my new watchers and to the old watchers as well. Don't know when I will be getting more art in but you never know.

"Hey Jackass!" "Spike!" "Boss Pony!" "Pinky!" "Hey You!" "Stop or I will shoot!"

So I turn 28 on Feb 26th. Yep right in the middle of Furry Fiesta. I already made plans to have a little dinner party Saturday night at about 9pm. Its pretty much a open invite thing. If you want to know more just note me.

I'm really looking forward to Furry Fiesta. I think its going to be a lot of fun. Also looking to pick up collar and leash from  Lagarto that match the wrist/ankle cuffs I bought at FC. Other then that, just looking to hang with friends.

Not too much been going on around here. Just been working and hanging with friends. Got a neat badge from  UnshackledFenrir that I really love. Just posted it couple minutes ago.

I'm almost getting sick of the cold weather. Sounds like we might be freezed in again here in North Texas. I got stuck in the house four days last week because of it. It sucked major balls. Couldn't even make it into work. Got to hang with a out of town friend on Sunday while I watched the super bowl. That was very kewl.

Rainbow Tiger is poppin' back pretty hard with some very awesome djs. There is tons of great events going on thanx to Amber Hammill. She has put a lot effort and work into it and its paying off. Still got a lot of land to rent in the sim but with the rise in traffic and visitors, I'm sure it will rent soon. Vendor area is getting kind of full as it is.

Well that is about it for now unless someone had a question for me?

So life is just amazing. I couldn't be happier with my situation and the people I'm hanging with. I'm not trying to brag, just letting folks know I'm doing good. I'm super glad to have :SilverMcHowl: back around. I missed him so much. Also helped him move a friend of his down a couple days ago. He seems to be a pretty kewl guy. Haven't hung out too much with him yet.

Recently went to Further Confusion, it was a absolute blast. I had not been there in many years so was a real treat. I ran into many, many very awesome furs. Got to see a couple good old friends I haven't talked to in a while and bunch of new people as well. Also got to know a couple furs more that I have really been wanting to spend time with. Over all it was just so much fun. I'm looking forward to Furry Fiesta now.

There has been more drama going around about me which is kewl. My ego loves that people talk about me so much. I really try and not talk shit about people but sometimes its hard not to. I mean most people know my feelings about others. I make it clear when I dislike someone or think there not worth my time. Why waste time on people that don't care when you can spend time with those that do. Pretty simple really. Remember: If you talk about someone, it will get back to them. It doesn't matter who you tell.

Work has been hectic but nothing I can't handle. Just happy to have the job I do and to be able to do what I want with the money.

Been loving my beard too, It really fits me these days. If I looked at myself last year compared to the way I look now. I wouldn't know myself.

I need to make time to hangout more with a couple local friends, a lion and his mate. They seem very kewl and seem like some people I should take the time for.

Been thinking about going to FWA. I don't have a room yet though. So we will see.

EDIT: oh yeah and Rainbow Tiger, We put a brand new club design. It is coming back full strength. Still getting married in SL too hehe. It has been a great time in SL. Bad days just like RL but it happens.

There really isn't much to talk about. Just been taking it kind of easy. Been getting money ready for FC. I got a small time job that is legit. Even have to figure out my taxes. So yeah I'm a soundboard operator for a local small time studio. We do a lot of stuff for all different record companys and distributes. It's not much but gives me something to do. I'm doing a lot of SL and Minecraft lately. Minecraft's minecarts are addictive. I'm having too much fun with them. Also been getting the house ready for Christmas. That has been a living nightmare lol. I finally go to see Harry Potter with  dook, which I thought was very good. Can't wait Goethe second part now. Still not hanging with that many people from Dallas since they don't take any effort to see me. I get up there when I can but I stick to my area mostly. Getting stir crazy. Migh have to make a run for Houston or Austin it something soon. Just a quick weekend trip.

Just wanted to thank everyone for there support. It means a lot to me. I am doing just great and can't keep a naughty pony down hehe. Much Luv
