Goodbye 2009 and hello 2010!! I remember thinking as a Youngling that 2010 was "in the future" where cars would fly and far away planets would be explored by man. We're not there yet.
What did 2009 bring us? A very big recession, Govt spending gone crazy, a Socialist President, a revolt from groups of people by the name of TEA (Taxed Enough Already), deaths of celebs like Michael Jackson, a new form of 3-D cinema(Avatar) and 2 close families going thru intense struggles with their marriages.
What did 2009 teach me? That as men we should hold our wives and our marriages even closer to our heart. We cannot let our guards down for even a second. Satan is ready and waiting for our resolve to slip, to devour our partnership with God and our spouses. We must constantly be vigilant!!
2010... I resolve to hold my wife and family even closer. I promise to study God's Word daily. Fitness, eating right and a more positive outlook shall be the norm for me. I shall continue to look for Jesus' return soon for his day IS approaching...
Are you ready??

ObamaCare Vote 11/21/09
Friends, Family, Readers...
Tomorrow night at 8pm- our United States Senate will vote on whether or not to begin discussion on a 2000 + page Heath care Reform bill. Many of these Senators and Statesmen have NOT read a single page of this huge bill. It is reported that this bill will increase taxes, ration Health Care, fine anyone and possibly jail those who refuse to get health care and quite possibly pave the way for paid Govt abortions. Yes, we do need a restructuring of Health provisions, but not in this way. What can we do? We can start by contacting the below two people:
Senator Blanche Lincoln 202.224.4843
Senator Ben Nelson 202.224.6551
They are said to be "on the fence" as to whether or not they might vote Yes tomorrow night. They might not be Senators in your state- but you can make your voice heard!! Call, be respectful, make your opinion heard and also make the point that if these "fence riders" do vote Yes to making the bill go further in the Senate- then they will regret their decision and they WILL be voted out of office next election cycle. We ARE the people and we can take this country back from radicalists and from those who spit upon the very Constitution that so many have given their lives to defend.
I would also encourage you to join a group like your local TEA (Taxed Enough Already)Party group, 9/12 group or something that is in league with your values and morals. We must be heard, we MUST live free or die!
In closing, it is our duty to defend our Country both foreign and domestic. Only with God's providence, our faith in him and the ideals of the Constitution set forth by our Founding Fathers can we succeed.
For future elections, we must strive to elect those who support or believe in the following points:
A Strong National Security
Supportive of Tax Cuts and Real fiscal responsibility
Supports Energy Independence
Supports Education
A vow to only support judges who recognize that their job is to interpret the Constitution and not legislate from the bench
Acceptance of their duty and responsibility to educate, inform and remind the American public that with the blessings of freedom comes great responsibility. That Govts primary goal is to preserve, protect and defend our God given gift of freedom. Individual liberty, capitalism, a strong national defense should be a fundamental belief.
Our best days can be before us if our Government will just trust the American people!!
May God bless America!!

A move to Facebook...
Well, it's definitely been awhile since I have posted on Blogger.
I have been working in Bristol, TN for almost 3 months on a Walmart remodel. I have lived in a Days Inn for 5 days out of 7 per week. I have really missed my wife and kids during this remodel. It's been indescribable... I have missed my son Daniel start Karate and not been around for just basic things and TLC for my wife. I will be sooo glad when this remodel is over.
I have had NO time for costuming or even preparations for the upcoming Dragoncon.
I lost touch with a really close friend...
But thru this all- I have my faith in Jesus Christ, my wife Pamela and son Daniel.
Also, to make my social network work a little smoother- I have decided to rely on Facebook solely for Blogging and day to day updates. I will still leave this Blog intact and perhaps I shall return one day...

The next three months...
For those who have kept up with my Facebook status postings over the past few days, I have been nervous, perplexed and confused about a few things at WalMart.
Today was my last day at Greeneville WalMart. Not really though! Starting on Monday at 8am I am to report to the Bristol, TN WalMart for reassignment as they go thru a remodel. I will be there for almost three months. The craziest thing about this is that I will be staying in a hotel Monday-Friday and coming home on the weekends.
I appreciate the support of Pam, Daniel and my Mom and Aunt during this long time away from home. I have the potential to make quite a bit of money during this time. If WalMart offers more money and the possibility of over time, I have to take it!!Keep me in your prayers during this time.
I am so blessed to even have a job and I thank God everyday that I work at WalMart. Also, please keep Pam and Daniel in prayers as this will be the longest span away from each other.

Connooga 2009
Wow!! What a convention!!
I made it into Chattanooga on Thursday afternoon and started helping Todd, Josh, Darla and others setup the Connooga Dealers Hall. After many, many hours working, driving a golf cart around, setting up TV's for the Gamestop/Best Buy console gaming area- we finally came to 9 o'clock. Time for the Radio Cult show at Rhythm and Brews. And what a show!! Very high performance and a lot of talent. I absolutely love Ricky, Bambi and the others of Radio Cult!! Got to bed about 2am!
Friday morning...time to find Todd and hang signs for Connooga! More riding around in Golf carts running errands and then Lunch with Kathy and Jessica. Yummy- Fazolis! 1pm brought opening of registration and then 3pm the opening of Connooga. I was the Director of Exhibitor Hall Stage Operations and so I had to make sure everything was ready to go!
The rest of the weekend was such a blur!!
Between running the exhibit hall stage and making sure events got off to a good start, to looking around the exhibit hall itself for goodies, making sure the music and commercials weren't too loud and preparing for Saber Idol.... Oy Vey!!! But I wouldn't trade it for the world. The friendships I have made with the great crew and team from Connooga has made up my core friends and I can't thank them enough for really putting on a great con.
Alas, Connooga 2009 was my last stint as Co-Producer and Judge of Saber Idol. I would like to thank Rob for allowing me to play in his creation. It's been an exciting ride, my friend!
Connooga 2009 was also the start of an exciting new costuming venture. After being introduced to the Firefly TV series by CoFounder of Connooga Jeff Hickey, I have become obsessed with the Browncoats, Mal Reynolds, the crew of Serenity and being a Browncoat costumer. I unveiled my new look (albeit a rough draft) Saturday night of the con at the Monster Ball. Yes, it's a work in progress and I hope to have a completed Browncoat by DragonCon time.
Sunday's worship service put on by Fans For Christ was awesome and very spirit filled. Swordsman and Tink did a great job and Chase Masterson giving her testimony and singing was the icing on the cake! Ninjas vs. Pirates was the service theme and really fit the weekend.
So, here's to Todd, Jeff, Susan, Kelsie, Josh, Darla, Terry, Rob, Spitty, Goomba, 4x4, Kathy, Jessica, Maria and ALL the rest of Connooga's Staff and friends. Oh yeah!! Bambi and Ricky of Radio Cult--- THANK YOU for saving Saber Idol on Saturday night!! You guys ROCK!!
Connooga 2010? Oh yeah!! I cannot wait!!!!!!! And...my wife and son are coming!!
