It gets more and more beautiful every time I see it. He is an incredibly lucky man.
How I did it: Used TIE online. Talked to friends in Egypt and did a lot of fact checking. Visiting also helped. Always kept up with reviewing my CV and resume. Asked for what I could do to improve on them. Used Linkedin.com to help create a resume online as well. Read how I did it… 4 months ago

and I thought they would never get back together again but alas they couldn’t resist. They have come back for another tour! I cannot wait to see them perform one more time, LIVE, for me and countless other lucky bastards! I wish a friend of mine in particular could be there with me to see it. I think she would love it. 13 months ago
How I did it: Apply our game to Board Game Geek's website. Travel to different stores. Make phone calls to different groups to look at our game online. Put some of our own money out of pocket into it (not much thankfully). Get our friends to push this game to others they know. Word of mouth can be a very powerful medium.

For a while we plateaued at a little over $2,000. I was worried that we wouldn’t make it in time. With hard work, lots of phone calls, word of mouth, demos and pushing people who were interested but didn’t realize that there would be nothing without the goal being reached, we made it. Not only did we make it, we are over our goal by $800! Still 16 days left till our deadline. With people seeing the game is funded, more will now donate, realizing they will get something out of donating! It was hard work, lots of number crunching and lots of driving and pushing our hard work, showing people we have something special! EXCELSIOR! EVER ONWARD AND UPWARDS! 14 months ago
Your son is more so. You are always worried about being a mother to him. Look at this amazing young man. Yes I said young man. There are no words to describe him except for the fact that you can only read about people like him in books. He is truly amazing!
I love you both so much and he just never stops surprising me and that, I am not surprised. :) 14 months ago
Here is a fun and fast paced game of strategy and heroics as two duelists face off and use real time strategy. This is a non collectible card game with a very unique engine and a limitless amount of directions we will take it. Please enjoy the video and see our demo on Kickstarter.com. William W. Refsland and Erich H Michel approached me with the info that they had put together a little company that is growing called MinMax Games. I said to Bill, “I have a game for you.” He grabbed it and helped me take it to the stars. With Bill’s engine and the direction we are taking this thing, I can’t wait to see where it will take us. Please take a look at it. I am so proud of us, we worked really hard on it. Spread the word, let me know if stores would like demos and let me know if you would like me to come to your house and run demos for you and your friends. We don’t need a lot to start, every little bit helps.

How I did it: Worked with some amazing friends and just kept faith in my heart. We worked for hours on designs, the feel of the game mechanics, standing in front of a mirror with the weapon and talked to countless people on how to improve this concept. Read how I did it… 14 months ago
I have said a lot… but actions speak volumes and hopefully the next series of actions will change my life in an amazing way. :)

I missed the person that should have been at my dinner table, walking with me on a cold crisp night and to read to. Never again will I miss it. 15 months ago
I was pulled into a meeting Friday afternoon before school was finished for the day. There was a meeting of the board of trustees and a decision was made concerning budget cuts and “sacrifices” they had to make to ensure the school had its money to continue operations. So the tall and short of it is that my two lead teachers told me in what was a very tearful conversation between all three of us that I will be let go at the end of the school year. I have an incredible mixed bag of emotions. I am incredibly angry at the establishment and how it is removed from the educational aspect of the school and its continued desire to make more money. It was hard for me to even concentrate on the rest of the day. At the same time I realized that this was a chance at a new start despite not even really get a chance to even begin at my school. So now I have new goals that are moving forward. I look at everything as an opportunity to make my life better. So this isn’t goodbye to my old school, this isn’t completely sad, this is just me now, more than ever, ready to start my new life! 15 months ago

Breakfast was always one of my favorite meals out. Nothing beats eggs, toast and the whole shebang when someone makes it for you. There is always this perfect harmony when you see it placed in front of you.
As for the rush rush, I hear you there. It is nice when you develop a routine and see certain people on a regular basis. Mona is my breakfast woman. Sweet little Muslim woman who her worker, Mahmud, and I call her mom to 60th st. She always gets mad at me if I try to sneak by when I don’t have cash for breakfast and demands I take breakfast and pay her tomorrow. I love that woman, she is always so kind and makes my walk to work fun. 16 months ago
all of my positive thoughts and energy to him. I am so sorry to hear that. I hope he feels better. :(
I do know this, in your hands, we are all safest. Your abilities as a mother and as a kind soul, can heal so many things. I know with your pot of TLC soup, he will make a speedy recovery and will be laughing and giggling with you in no time at all.
If you need anything, just ask. :) 16 months ago

HERE HERE! I tip my hat and enthusiastically echo this!
Thank you for inviting me here! I love my new home.
“I can believe that things are true and I can believe things that aren’t true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they’re true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen – I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkledy lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women. I believe that the future sucks and I believe that future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone’s ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state. I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we’ll all be wiped out by the common cold like the Martians in War of the Worlds. I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman. I believe that mankind’s destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it’s aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there’s a cat in a box somewhere who’s alive and dead at the same time (although if they don’t ever open the box to feed it it’ll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself. I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn’t even know that I’m alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of casual chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn’t done it properly. I believe that anyone claims to know what’s going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman’s right to choose, a baby’s right to live, that while all human life is sacred there’s nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you’re alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

Food for thought in this crazy world we live in. Thank you Neil Gaiman for keeping the awe in my inner child growing, going and carrying on.
To all my friends and loved ones… to those I haven’t caught up with yet in the East. To the futures we plan to carve out for ourselves. To changing fate and bending rules, to casting the bones and dice, to dreamers, thinkers, and candlestick makers, and to the fortunate few, the rich poor and the poorly rich, to the amazing women that surround me in my life, to the real men and the young boys destined to become great men, and to all of you….. HAPPY NEW YEARS. May this one, as ever, be better than the previous. Or so help me I will help the white buffalo woman kick its ass!
I love you all, you insane and beautiful people!
