Well, I have returned from Texas. There is much to be said about what happened and I will post this soon. I guess it has been a manner of collecting my thoughts and being able to post them in a coherant manner.

In the meantime, my wife and I were driving home and trying to relieve the boredom. First, came the discussion of this video

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/285267

A while back, I had toyed with the idea of doing something like this in the same manner as the Composer Deathmatch. And so as the miles passed, a dream rebloomed.

I am planning on a actual Battle of Ultimate Destiny. Setting up the website for this will take some work, but what the hell. Here is where you fair reader can assist. Take a look at the list that I have so far. If there is someone you would like added to the battle, let me know. I will say that it is a pretty damn extensive list.

( The Players are... )

Sorry if I have not been updating recently. Much has occured in real life - some good some bad.

My biggest concern is with my dad. He has been fighting cancer and putting up a good fight. Recently, he has struggled with trying to gain enough physical strength so that he can continue with the chemotherapy treatments that have done a lot of good. Needless to say I am growing very worried from the email updates my mother has been sending me. You can read them at the link and understand my concerns.

It just hasn't been fair to them. They spent a year and a half taking care of my grandmother when she got sick and then immediately had to deal with this. I wanted my parents to be able to go into the sunset not having to deal with this crap.

Subject:	A little tale to tell around the campfire
Security:	Public

For those lonely nights around a campfire

A little story modified from a Doctor Who episode "Blink", which is damn scary in its own right. This is just the thing to terrorize your loved ones sitting around a dying campire in the dark. Or rather, you alone sitting there reading this from your monitor in the pitch black of your house.

I told this tale this last weekend on a Scouting campout and successfully creeped out both children and adults with this. So I figured that I would share in the evil goodness.

This is the tale of the Weeping Angels.

Once there was a group of kids that decided to hike in the forest. Unfortunately, they became lost and no matter what they did, they ended up being further and further into the woods. Soon they realized that it was getting towards dark and that a storm seemed to be approaching. Just as the children began to wail at their cursed fate, they discovered what appeared to be an old mansion sitting in the middle of a forest clearing. As they traversed the abandonded gardens surrounding the mansion, they noticed a curious feature. All around the gardens were these statues of what looked like weeping angels with their hands over their faces. And all the stautues faced towards the house.

While it seemed to be a creepy feature, the current circumstances of the children ruled that they get into the mansion for some shelter and rest. They seemed to find that in the dust covered interior. Soon they were able to start a small fire in the living room fireplace.

One of the children discovered a book, more of a diary really and started to read it to the others. The diary seemed to belong to the final occupant of this mansion. He was a very rich man, with a large family and many servants. He also was a collector of the strange and bizarre. He mentioned that he received a large number of statues that were found in a lost city somewhere in the shifting sands of the Middle East.

Soon after, people started to disappear. After some research, the writer discovered to his horror that he had allowed a terrible thing to enter his home. There were creatures old as the dawn of time called Weeping Angels. They appeared to simply be statues. But in darkness, or if a person blinked, or they turned around, they were able to move and hunt. Soon the writer was alone and cornered and left the diary as a warning. Never turn around and never blink, he ended the diary.

Sadly, the children panicked at their situation and ran in various directions. Sure enough, the Weeping Angels picked off the poor children one by one. Until there was one last child who hurtled down the numerous corridors with a lit candle as his companion. He could hear the Weeping Angels coming towards him and gaining ground.

The last child found himself at the end of a hallway with no way to escape. He also realized that he would not make it to daylight. So with his mind filled with the terror of the unknown coming towards him, he crawled into a corner and watched as his candle began to flicker out and the Weeping Angels got closer and closer and closer...

Turn around...

It's hard to believe that it has been seven years. It's been a lot to think about. I will say that I am in a better place now than I was.

The child and wife will be gone until late Saturday.

I have enjoyed the quiet and the extra sleeping..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I have hopefully straightened out the situation with Ford Credit. Once I send GEICO an official police report, I will get my $567 back.

For my birthday, I got Bully for the PS2 and I have to say that THIS is in my top 5 PS 2 games. More on this later. My top 5 though (no order)

1. Bully
2. Fatal Frame 1&2
3. Silent Hill 2&3
4. Guitar Hero
5. Katamari Damacy

For early XMAS (due to all the travelling) Kelly and I decided to get the family a big present. She was able to get a Nintento DS dirt cheap. I used my Target gift certificate to get Brain Age and Big Brain Academy (both most excellent indeed). My son got a Yugioh and Sonic game and Kelly got Animal Crossing. We have had a lot of fun with this.

The big present was the XBOX 360. Kelly got Viva Pinata and I got Dead Rising and Gears of War.

I bought Gears of War partly because of word of mouth and partly to support a fellow Goon (Cliffy B). This is simply the finest first person shooter around. The guys at ID Software might want to sit down and take notes, because Cliffy B just raised the bar about a mile high.

Tomorrow, people from the Airport Sound Insulation people come by to do the initial home inventory. Thanks to the fact that we live next to O'Hare and live under the flight path, we are getting all new windows and doors. So those two cracked windows are now moot. When things are said and done in the next year, we will have about ten thousand dollars worth of work done. Nice to see something good come our way.

I have been practicing a lot. I really like where I am going as a player. However, I have come upon a sad realization. I may not be able to get my masters up here. I just don't know if there's anyway to get a master and not sacrifice time for Zach. I guess this is the sacrifice we make to be a good parent.

I have come up with a new game. I like how it is shaping up. I am about ready to make a test game before I leave for Texas. I'm hoping to hear from Token and get some input from him.

The drill website is almost ready. I just need to make some animation examples and scan some drill pics for the site. My goal is to have the site up and running by February.

Finally, I have been working on the website for Lone Star. It can be found at http://lonestardbc.tripod.com . Check out what I have done.

That's it for now.

Here's a nice little pic I did. For anyone who watches the show, it's pretty self-explanitory...

It looks like I will be getting a root canal on Tuesday. See kids! You can take really good care of your teeth and still have them backstab you.
