Finaly got my Gaia character back...  
But sadly about 95% of the items that I had are gone. I have not heard anything from the Gaia staff about what is going to happen (if they are going to try to retrieve my items, they already tried, or I'm SOL). I really have no idea what I am going to do yet. As for right now I know I'm not going to spend anymore money buying the monthly collectable items (atleast not for a while). I'm just rather ticked and annoyed right now.

My Gaia character has been hacked!!  
Argh!! My Gaia character, that I've had for over 5 years, has been hacked!! Not only has the name been changed, but the sex has been changed.... This really ticks me off. I'm scanning through my computer, to make sure that there is nothing on it. ARGH!! Makes me want to hurt some fool!

Wow I've been gone a while.  
Hello everyone. Wow it's been a while sense I've gotten on here. I've just been so busy as of late I haven't gotten the chance to do anything. Of course during the holidays I was off doing family stuff, and after the holidays I had to find a new job. It took me a little while but I finally found one. I am now working at the Fry's close to my house. I will be working there about a month this Monday. The only bad thing really is that they messed up my schedule and put me as full-time instead of part-time (which is what I put on my application). This has made going to school and work a major pain in the butt. Thankfully because today is a holiday I have the day off. I hope that as soon as my schedule gets fixed I will be able to start working on some projects again. Well, I got to get going, I've got stuff I have to do.

No more school, No more books... untill January  
Well, the Fall semester has finally come to end. I can "relax" for a few weeks. I will finally be able to get some stuff done on the stores, AND do some art that I have been meaning to do. Of course before I do all that I need to sign up for next semesters classes. I'm not sure what I'm going to take yet. I've got a few ideas, but just need to make sure that the times are right.

My computers 2nd hard drive is starting to act... odd... It went from 40GB to 31GB. I've already ordered a replacement for it. This drive has been driving me nuts ever sense I bought it like 3-4 years ago. It was sold as an 80gb drive, I didn't install it till a year later (when I built my new PC), and it turned out to be 40gb. I'm more then likely going to just pull it out completely and replace it with the new one.

This Christmas is going to be a rather large one. I've got 6 other family members coming for this year. Including the family that is already here there is going to be like 30 or so people ^^; Christmas is going to be interesting.

It's alive! It's alive!!!  
Well, it's time to make an update. I've been very busy these last few weeks. Haven't had a time to write what happened at Oni-Con, or even the reason why I'm so busy. I've been spending the last month or so building a new online store, and I've finally finished it enough to open it. The new store is called Weightlifting Needs. Now I'm not the owner of this new store, my dad is, but I will of course be working on both stores. While the store may be open for business, I'm not finished adding products to it, so there is still a little more work to be done on it. Thankfully I was able to set up a forum before it was time to open the store, and hopefully there will be people who will be able to put it to good use.

The other thing that has kept me busy is my new hobby. As of this post I've finished 9 pictures, and I have 3 or so pictures I've not finished yet. Now that I know a little about coloring in Photoshop I'm enjoying it. This got started mainly because one of the soon-to-be-features of Weightlifting Needs is going to be custom shirts, gym bags, jackets, etc. Of course that feature is a couple weeks away, but I think it will be a good one.

Oni-Con  
Well, Oni-Con 04 ended over the weekend. I got back last night at around 11:30, and past out. I plan to write up a report this year, but it will have to be later. I had a lot of fun this year, and I'm looking forward to OC 05. Well, time to get some sleep, have to go to school tomorrow.

Well, Oni-Con is almost here, I happy that I will see some old friends and get to hang out with them. Thanks to Kamikazecon / Shiokaze Con gone, Oni is the only one left that I go to. I'm trying to volunteer again this year, but I'm still not to sure about joining security. I don't know, maybe it's just because the new Head is someone I don't know, or something else. I know one thing, I still want to help out.

School has been loads of fun. It and the store have been keeping me busy. I would like to lower the number of classes I have from 3 to 2. At least that way I would have a little more time, maybe even try to find a part time job, make a little more money. Of course it is a little to late to drop classes now, I would have to do it next year.

Here is a question for the studio audience; Why do people go "Ow!" even if pain is minor (ie: stepping on a small rock, bumping your shoulder into a door frame)?

My first project in Photoshop  
Nothing much going on over here right now. I sent in my volunteer request for Oni-Con the other week, for Security of course, only to find out that there is a new Head of Security for this year. I get the feeling that my sister and I are not going to be on the security staff this year, sadly.

My dad bought a clip art CD full of manga line art. I've been spending the last two days working on an image (coloring it and shading it), trying to get it to look good. I've always hated shading. I guess the reason is because I always felt like I was missing something when I was doing it. Click here to see it. So if anyone out there has some constructive criticism, please share.

"Hell week" done  
       Well, I finished my first week of my restart on college. It's been 6 years or so sense my last year of college, and not much has changed. Well, besides me being older then most of the students (not all thankfully). I only go twice a week, so it's not so bad. Because I am taking a 2 year degree, there are core classes that I have to take. The two that I am taking right now is Intro to Theatre, and the other is Composition and Rhetoric (English). I'm enjoying both so far, and I can only hope that I continue to.

       The 3rd class that I am taking is a Windows XP Pro class. It is a class that I need to take so that I will be ready to take the 1st our of 7 test to become MCSE, or the 1st out of 4 if I want to become MCSA. Yeah, looking forward to taking those tests. Thankfully the teacher is cool, and the people that I am taking the class with are as well. It really makes the 4 and a half hours a lot easier to take.

       The store is doing ok for itself. I just finished updating to the new fall items the other day. It wasn't easy. People who say that you don't have to do anything to have an online store are lying, or they don't have a decent online store. We now have a grand total of 2300 or so items online. I marked everything down to about 40% off MSRP. There are a few items that I wasn't able to mark down that low, but I did put them as low as I could go, normally around 30% off. Still will are doing ok for ourselves, wish we were doing better but we are still new.

Bioshock  

What else can I say then, my days have been spent in Rapture. It's a freaking great game. The environment is creepy, made even more so because you don't have a radar. For a person who is use to having radar, not having it and hearing the "people" rant, scream, and just plan act crazy just keeps you on edge. The look of the game is great. Just what you think a city that's under the water that has gone mad should look like. Some might not like the idea of the Little Sisters (You can either save them and get a little Adam, the stuff you use to modify your body, or get the most adam you can from them, which they will not live through it), but it is a moral choice, life is a moral choice. I like FPS games, and I love this one.

And so it begins...  

Well, I'm going to start with the "big" news first. I'm heading back to college. What can I say, I'm happy about it. I had stopped going for a few reason, and had always regretted it. Now thanks to the fact that I have been unable to find a new job, I'm going to go back to college. I signed up for classes last week, 4 in total, but I'm only going to be taking 3 at a time (two of the classes are only half semesters). Thankfully they are only two days of the week, so I am going to try to find a part time job. Still need money. What I find funny, is both my sister and I are going to be going to college at the same time. Don't know what major she is going for though.

Well, the store has been active for a couple of months now, and there's not much that I can say about it. It's doing ok for its self, wish it was doing better, c'est la vie. Still working on it though, trying to make it the best that I can. 

There is one more word that I have to say: BioShock! <3

Busy busy busy  
I worked more last week then I've worked in a long time. My days are filled with laying tile in the den of the house (the old floor had to be removed), and my nights are filled with working on the store. Thankfully, both are pretty much done. The floor took a while mainly because we had two people who haven't laid in a long time (my dad and I), and someone who has never done it before (my roommate). But all that needs to be done on the floor now is to put grout on it. Once that is done, then we start work on the room itself.

Now the store has needed a lot of work done on it. I reworked all of the categories, while my roommate went through them and made sure that the images where correct for the products. It took us over a week but the store is pretty much done. We got PayPal set up, and attached to the shopping cart. I went ahead and set up 5 auctions on eBay, hoping that they might get some people over to the site. All it is now is just a waiting game. God I hope this works...

Update - Still unemployed  
Hello everyone out there, hope that you all are doing well. Nothing much has changed over here sense my last post. I'm still looking for a new job, its been over a month will no luck so far. Just got to keep trying and hope that I find something soon. I'm just happy that I had a little  money stashed away before this happened. So if there is anyone out there, in Houston, that knowns of a decent paying job in the IT field, please share.

It's gotten so bad (and annoying) my roommate and I (who was fired from the same job, and is still looking for a job as well) went ahead and opened up an online store selling a bunch of different items seeing if that might get us a little incoming coming in. One can only hope. We've been working on it for almost 2 weeks now, and we pretty much have it done. It's online, we've got a payment method set up on it, and we think it looks pretty good. If anyone wants to take a look at it just go to EssentialNonessentials.com. Hopefully we will be getting some orders soon.

Unemployed... again  
Well, it has happened again. I am unemployed. The company that I was working for, HostGator, and I have parted ways, for a few reasons. Truthfully, I've been unemployed for almost two weeks now. I've been spending most of my time online looking for a new job. I got a couple good hits this week, but have yet to hear back from them.

I will say one thing though, not having a job has given me some time to let the stress of customer support wear off. I've never been more calm and relaxed. Of course now I'm just getting annoyed that I haven't found a job yet.

Yes, I'm still kicking  
Why, hello everyone out there. Yes, I'm still alive and kicking, just busy busy busy. My new job has me back on the night shift, which of course I'm happy with. Of course when I am off of work I don't really feel liking getting online, even more so because of Shivering Isles and Casltevania came out.

I am still happy with the new job, even though they are copy a few things from Convergys. What I find funny is how many people came over from Convergys to work over here. Right now I would have to say that atleast half, if not more, of the people here use to work at Convergys.

But nothing new, just working, getting by. Hope that everyone is doing ok.

FINALLY!! A new job!  
Well, I've just completed my first week of a new, and better job. I got fired from Convergys after almost four years with them. Of course I really wasn't that sad about it, because I had a new job ready and waitting.

I will say this now, if you ever think to yourself about getting a job at Convergys, don't do it. Save yourself from the pain and find something else. If you have to take it, trying to save up money quickly so that you can leave and find a better job.

The new job that I have now is pretty much the same thing as the old job, but the invironment is a lot better then convergys, and the starting pay is more then what I was making at Convergys for almost four years. There is a little more stuff that I have to know, but it's still a lot better then that place.
