I once read a quote about blogging that echoed one of the biggest oversights facing the phenomenon of web logs: When asked why he (the author of the quote) didn’t start his own blog, he answered, sure I have a very interesting thought today, but what am I going to write about tomorrow? Or something like that… Well that’s not the case with me or the reason why there hasn’t been an update in months. So here’s what has happened since Nov. 10th in 2006:

  • I got engaged, in fact were getting married in less than 3 months now.
  • I’ve barely made any progress on my little zombie novel, apparently put off by the impressive writing of Max Brooks and his NYTimes best-seller World War Z. I still like my concept, but I’m going to have to focus a little harder on the story if I’m ever going to take it anywhere.
  • Several movies have come out that I would have loved to review: Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Transformers, Harry Potter 5… And they were good/weird, fun/shallow, anticipated/fulfilling, in that order.
  • Speaking of Harry Potter, the last book was released as I’m sure even the most technologically depraved Inuit in Alaska is aware. Perhaps I’ll have a guest entry from my lovely fiance once I’ve finished the book as she is such an avid fan of Harry that were he a real person, my first point in this list would probably not be a reality and her last name would be Potter. I’m sure she’d have interesting points to make.
  • My slow-pitch softball team made it to game 1 in the play-offs again (which almost every team gets to participate in) and took a crushing loss. Our worst defensive game all season.
  • Year 2 of the Williamsville Youth Dodgeball Tournament has doubled in size, with 28 junior high teams of 5+ players each and 12 Senior High teams vying for the cash prize at the end of August. I’ve been having fun on Wednesday nights calling the play-by-play’s and getting yelled at by 30 teens upset over what they thought was a horrible call.

That’s about it. You’re all caught up. The blog will continue to be a medley of topics invariably covering my favorite subjects such as, gaming, sports, entertainment, technology, faith, knot-tying, survival and zombies. The order certainly not reflecting any order of importance. I really do enjoy tying-knots…
