Snow sucks. News at 11. It was like -3 degrees last night and my Dad's truck decided it didn't need the serpentine belt anymore. Of course when I call for a ride, old helpful Dad wants me to check the belts. I am like.... Umm... Not! Did I mention it was -3 degrees?? Hello??? Anyone home?
Ok, so I am up early today trying to resolve that issue. The Ex is still stalking me, news at 11. Did I mention that I am going crazy? Oh, you already knew that, then what the heck? Anyway, been busy messing with my Karaoke stuff, and I am probably a few weeks behind on what's new in game land. Well, more like a couple of years behind, but who is counting?
I did download some Star Wars games on my Razor. Coruscant and Star Wars Episode III. However, I haven't had time to play either one. Probably something I shouldn't have done, but I was bored at the time.
Anyway, just a quick update for today. Hi to Azeroth! The rest of you.... Hey!

WTFMan Is Taking Applications.... LOL!
I thought they were long gone, but apparently Nighhawk is now taking Apps for web site personalities on WTFMan... That is almost as funny as me taking applications for BV writers again...
Nighthawk, please stop making me laugh! Our sites are all but dust in the wind dude... ;) WTFMan hasn't crossed the 3 post a year mark since 1999, but whatever floats your boat man.
Ahh, what it is to dream the impossible dream... However, I wouldn't mind hearing from Greybeard! I miss that old pirate. No one could kill in undergarments the way he did it.
Long live the fighters!

The Damned Vulpine Tagged Me!
As mentioned on J's site most of you already KNOW WAY TOO MUCH! Anyway, in true meme fashion, I will comply with the wishes of the Gaming Gods... I will try to think of stuff that I haven't blogged before.
5. I didn't finish college. I went to a vocational college in Denver, and didn't finish. My major was Computer Science along with minor in Accounting. I was still hired on by a publishing company in Broomfield and held their Network Administrator position for 14 years.
4. I am shy and tend to keep to myself in real life. Believe it or not, and Raph mentioned this type of situation on one of his audio interviews. Playing MMOG's, then writing and doing audio shows about them, helped me to be able to deal with the general public and other people in ways I never thought would be possible. I am still quiet until I get to know you for about 3 minutes, but after that I will have you reading my blog.
3. I used to get picked on in school. I am talking about everything from being short, to my last name, my red hair, to just mean acts or violence pointed in my general direction. I was a bully magnet! Usually, it had something to do with me sticking up for someone that was unable to do it themselves, but I have even taken a few rocks upside the head for my friends. Stitches and all!
2. I was a very competitive track runner in Jr. High-School. Despite the fact that I was shorter then the average runner, I had a lot of heart and I could get those legs moving at lightning speed. I was a sprinter, and a darn good one at that.
1. I don't watch or know ANYTHING about sports. Especially football. I can't stand watching games like that on TV or even going to them in person. Okay, I know a few general things, but if you ask me to watch football, baseball, hockey, or whatever on TV, the answer is no. I would rather go to sleep or get on the computer then waste my time on sports. It kind of sucks in an akward way because my Mom always gets me sports jerseys and jackets. People ask me about those teams like Broncos or Avs, and I have to admit that I really have no clue what they are talking about.
I guess that does it... However, I have no idea where these other folks may be writing these days to tag properly... So, let me say whom I would like to hear from and maybe J. can point their locations out to me so we can get some more meme going on.
Sunsword, Runesabre, Adrick, Tyrant, Riprend
And if they don't have a place of their own, I will gladly post it here. =)

Life Story Part 45: A new beginning...
So, for all two of you that are paying attention to my saga of woe... It is actually not looking so much like woe anymore. The snow has finally started to melt away, and there are good things in the air for me. Again, I would like to thank the Blathering idiots for reminding me of my accomplishments.
I had been getting ten to twenty texts a day from the "Ex" about many different things, mostly that we should get back together, which normally makes me laugh. And then on Christmas, she starts sending crazy texts about how I am online talking to women, cheating, etc. I had no idea what the hell she was talking about. Apparently, there are people that actually get on the Internet "watching" to see when I log into MySpace. Afterwards, a call was made to the Ex that I was "Online", and my computer savvy (NOT REALLY) Ex got the idea that this MUST mean I am talking to girls and getting many dates etc. Had the Ex read this BV page, she would know that I am not in fact talking to any women except for Amber Night, and even Amber doesn't know about it.
Okay, so I have heard the whole "You are a cheater, heathen" thing about 5,000 times already, and this time it just made me weary and somewhat annoyed. I decided that if people are going to talk anyway, I might as well give them something to talk about. Plus, I was bored stuck at home in the snowstorm. So, I went on MySpace and placed friend requests to as many people as I could find that I knew would accept me automatically. So far I have had about 40 positive responses to this. Of course I selected only the finest quality people with excellent marketing and networking skills.
Anyway, the gossip gamble paid off. I hadn't heard anything from the Ex in a few days, and then the drama hit the fan! Previously, I installed an IP tracker program on my site to see who was visiting my page. I got this really incoherent message from the Ex. Although the message is poorly typed, I tried to muddle through the context and understand what was just said. So, I checked the tracker to find out that it was in fact her daughter that had blown the whistle on me. Not to mention I had to laugh because of the mistakes made and the assumptions thrown out for no apparent reason. For one thing, her daughter's page is set to "Private" so I have no way of seeing who her friends are. The girls the Ex is talking about have hundreds of thousands of friends, not hundreds. Not to mention, they all know me personally cause I am like really cool and stuff. The kicker after the brief stint of name calling is the fact that even though I am all of those bad things the Ex mentioned, I will continue to be loved and trusted!
"i still love u but u are a backstabben twofaced lying demented cheating abusive dirty minded cradle robbing perverted pig. And lazy too". Hey! I resent that statement, I am not cheating!
Wow, what a woman! I dunno guys, but if you are that discusted by someone, in my book that means it is time to move on. I am apparently wrong in this matter, and will slap myself silly later. Of course, the end result is that the Ex's daughter updated the Ex's page to include some of the same "friends" to prove the point that they will accept anyone. Duh! Not to mention adding a few nude pics, which I could probably get the Ex's site banned for adding. Not to mention the fact that NONE of this should matter anyway since I have made it quite clear that I am NEVER coming home...
So, good stuff is in the works! I got a gig on New Years Eve and all went well! I hope to go back there soon. The club owner and I are negotiating some other events down the road. Yep, all is good. It's gravy!

Night to Fear's Bishop... Checkmate!
Did that make sense to you? okay.... Amber posted a retraction to her comment about precasting on her site... However, I accidently double posted a comment there, so I am probably banned already. Ahh well... So much for playing chess on the Net. Once a grief PK, always a grief PK I am told...
I have found out a few things, like Amber is from Colorado, which makes her cool like me. However, she moved and missed this last snow storm, so that lowers her coolness level a bit.
She also likes Strong Bad, which I normally recommend on my site, but since I am too lazy to update the layout here, you will have to use the link provided in this post. She also selected "All Star" by Smashmouth as her opening story line, which adds some cool back into her profile. We will keep you informed as to more cool ratings.
Oh, and there is this really nasty "grinch-type" fellow named Hunter commenting on her site. I figure it was an e-harmony gone bad or ex-mate type situation, but I leave the exact description up to the masses...
My comment to Amber about the precasting sitch is as follows
Fear Says: December 23rd, 2006 at 12:32 am
Amber must have turned Hunter down for a date or something. I haven’t seen that much *hate* since Adrick and I took on the Lummies over statloss for Player Killers (Reds) in Ultima Online.
Is statloss one word or two? Keep posting funny interviews k-thx!
Thanks for the retraction, I will tell my lawyers to chill out and stop leaving you voice mails.
Okay, I am off to see a man about a tree for Raph! Have a happy holiday weekend everyone!

Microtransactions to Preserve The Pretentiousness Quotient!
As seen over at BT.org, Raph has apparently started his reign of terror by doing an interview with none other than.... Amber Night? I dunno, I suppose I could read her bio and find out exactly what she does, but that would require me to do "research" and we know I can't be doing all that whilst I am working on Karaoke stuff. It is obviously someone with much more clout in the industry then I have these days. Although, she doesn't have an audio interview with Raph, and I do SO THERE! So what if it's from 1998? It still counts!
Amber also has this news about Areae prior to the Raph Interview. She has a misquote on her blog dated "Tuesday, December 19th, 2006 at 5:34 am" about Amber's "Top 6 ways in Which Areae Inc's upcoming title, Tertio Life, Will Be Completely Different From Second Life. (Yes, 6. Because nobody does Top 6 lists, and that makes me special.)" Number one is "1. Two words: Precasting. You heard it here first." and I have to contest this comment as I clearly brought the precasting information to the public eye at Lum's site on December 16th!
Fear of BV 17-Dec-06 at 5:31 am Permalink
OMG, what next? Broken Gamez dot Org featuring Scott?
Good luck Raph, plz bring back pre-casting beotch! k-thx
Hopefully, there will be a retraction to Amber's statement as well, or I may need to introduce her to Mersault and his band of Internet Identity thieves! Be sure to pick the Medium_Blue appearance to get the full effect. Did you notice, that Amber and I blog about the same time of day? *Wonders if anyone will accuse us of blogging together*
Oh, and um Raph? Please stop talking about Areae in the third person... You know that Areae = Raph Koster now right?
Anyway, for those of you that are too jaded or silly to realize that this [AN] interview is quite humorus, then I am telling you now... It's funny! The only true parts in the whole interview are where Raph admits to doing Microtransactions to Preserve The Pretentiousness Quotient... That is completely true, and then there is the part about the name of his company which I can't even begin to pronounce, so I am not even going to include it in any future audio programs I may create. Raph was also quoted as saying "RK: On occasion they ask me about it, but then I dazzle them with doubletalk" when asked the question "AN: On your website you mention that “we’ve got a cool world or two incubating on the back burner.” Does it make your investors nervous that you don’t know exactly how many worlds you have?". That is likely going to be the comment of the century, and Lum pointed it out, so you know it MUST be true! Again, I am kidding... Notice how I reversed the question and answer to annoy the general public? I have a true talent for blog publishing. We all know Raph is sitting on a couple of copies of UO2 and whatever else he may have conjured up while working for Sony. I can only imagine the collection of started projects Raph has sitting in his closet.
I was getting bored, and I decided to do a little recreational blogging for the children. (You are the children) All one of you! Hi Meursalt! See anything you want to steal? Please feel free to take what you need! I don't mind.... REALLY! Go ahead... erm... Okay, I am just kidding. Please stop stealing, and start giving me something. Money! Money is good, gimme some pls kthx!
You guys wouldn't believe how much snow we have out there. My dad dug out the driveway with his tractor. This is a big John Deere tractor, with a scoop and everything. He got it stuck in the 5 foot drifts a couple of times, so I had to pull him out with his truck, but that was pretty fun. I should have taken some pics of the trashcans. The trash is all still in the cans, but you can only see the tops of the cans in the snow bank. Pretty darn funny if you ask me.
Okay.. Back to work! *whip sound effect here*
Hey Amber! Why not interview a true MMOG icon like FEAR!!!???
I bet I can get Amber to do my next "Love that Fear" commercial!

Snow Day!
So, we are snowed in big time in Strasburg today. I-70 is closed and all three of the stores in this town are sealed tighter then the International Space Station. So, I guess I can make time for another blissfull blog update.
Chewy makes me laugh. Thanks to Scott for the comedy of the week. I suppose most folks are too busy talking about the topic of the day [RMT] but I would like to move on to something more important like.... Me...
I talked to the Wiff last night only to realize once again that we were not meant to be together. Not only did I lose 3 hours of my life that I can't get back. Not a good prospect for reconcile as far as I am concerned. It was funny to hear how my myspace page was actually a dating site for me to catch all those underaged women. All of which are related to me, but hey... Get er done right?
My wife has this thing about talking to my last ex-girlfriend who was at least IMHO 3 times (3X) crazier then the wife. Not only does the wife know the Ex is crazy, but she believes what the crazy person has to say about EVERYTHING. It makes things difficult, but my comment was to tell my Ex to get a life and MOVE ON, for the love of all that is holy...
So, the wife offered to give me my stuff again, and offered to give me some gigs for New Years and all the same stuff I am always offered as a way to get me back home. I am just not in the mood to deal with her, so I think I will just resume my stay in exile and keep my distance from her and the drama crew.
Enjoy the snow day, if you happen to live in Colorado anyway...
