RE: Sir Snootch's Castle.

IR.. LL... Thanks for the kind words.
I have a bit of an update on all of htis. i haven't yet accepted the offer from N0M4D due to a very big curveball being thrown at me. I was a little surprised to see JB had posted a comment on my blogspot. It was him offereing me to join him in the blog/newsletter kind of thing he's starting. He wants me to be an author for him again. i have already asked him waht he needsfrom me for this, and told him I' do it. I believe that JB is a great person, and has the potential to do great things, and I don't mind being there to try and either do my part to help him, or maybe do sothing great myself along side him.
As for the EOG stuff. I haven't accepted anything from him yet, but that's in part due to me waiting for a few basic questions i asked Randy about what he'd expect form me before I accept for sure. i'm sure I'll continue both.
I have continued being a part of BUD, but I believe that my spot there for the timebeing will remain a member only thing. I would love to do stuff ther, but not now. I need a break form being involved in all of that stuff.
heart.gif You guys are the greatest heart.gif

Oh BTW.. have there been any new people sneaking around? I have been talking LOST with a couple people at the gamerdadslive forum, and i mentioned for them to stop in and say hi.

I'm thinking that it might be Chia. I'll have a look in the back office. If it is I'm going ot have to see about chopping a few of his old hats off. He's got a few too many.

I highly doubt it's chia. I think he's farther away than that. Probably someplace that has alot of eucalyptus leaves.

Sorry i missed the reply there BoB. smile.gif

Well peeps I'll be back on again tonight after a couple days off. Nice time to get some things done. I put together a couple banners for the top of the battlebud sight, i'm finishing up the one for the new site, and then I'm planning on trying to get the sig done for LL since i was asked a whil back. i hope to have it all done in the next day or two.
I'll post the link to the new site by around Sat or Sun night if I can get the rest of the main page & forum done. Yes the new LOST site is going to have a "Main" page, and then you can go into the forum and a couple other areas from there. i'm hoping to also have a blog section and a couple other extras in the first month or so.
As most of you know. This place will be kept open, and I'd like you all to continue using it for al non LOSt things. I really want the new site to focus and be used for LOST works, info, spoilers etc...

Thanks again to all of you for the kind words, and encourement.

Ok here's a LFM (Lost Fan Media) site update.
I value the voices in here, and knowing you'll be honest please go to the following link to look at the place. You don't need to go into the forums because the basic look is going to be the same. I ask that YOU DON"T sign up at this time. I have stuff i need to do that could be messed up by having users running around in there. Please let me know what you think of it so far. I'll be adding as much as I can ove rthe next night or two, and I am looking at having the GRAND OPENING on Mon of this week. You'll all be allowed in before, and anyone that you want to bring allong. I'll be making up a couple sigs that I'll be asking you guys to use and have in your sigs at other sites to help brin gin more people. I'll be looking for a couple MODS at some point, but for the time being i'm looking at only myself and Chia running the show until i know what I'm going to be dealing with.
On a side note. I am looking for 1 or two volunteers (sp) to start up a LFM MySpace page. I'll do the graphic work, but beyond that it'll be up to the 1 or 2 people running it to get the word out about that profile, and also to help those people find the new site. I can do it myself if there's no takers, but it'll be a bit longer if that's the case. If you are interested in working alone or with someone else on the MS profile please PM me here or e-mail me @ lostfanmedia@gmail.com
If someone does want to do the MS thing i'll set up the account and then just give you the login info so that you can go in and do whatever you need to. I'm talking about adding vids, pics, whatever and you can do whatever you like with it. If you know of a good LOST template for the MS profile that's cool. I'd let you do that also. It would save me time working on that, and allow me to continue working on the site.
As for the Treehouse i'd like to completely hand over the controls to Lion and LL as soon as they are ready to take it. I will still do anything they ask for the place, but i'm going to be devoting a ton of time into the new place, and i don't want to leave the Treehouse neglected. LL, Lion please let me know if you're up for this. if not I may look in another dirrection, or if one or both of you don't want to I'd look at asking maybe IR, KIL, or one of the others in here that might be willing to help keep this place flowing.

http://lostfanmedia.freeforums.org/portal.php

Thanks for the support, and here's to the future at the Treehouse & LFM.

Well again it's been a long time since i've said anything in here.

Today was one of those days that I had fear of going back for a week or so. I had court today to deal with a final piece of remaining crap from my time with my Ex (not wife just GF for 9 years). She was't willing to file the paperwork saying I had sattisfied my end of a payment from 5 yrs ago that i had reciepts showing that I had paid. I had agreed through the courts to pay for some bills that were in her name that we put up when we were together. Granted I could have left her sitting ass out and hanging to pay them all. That's not my style. I said I'd pay 1/2 and when thepapers came saying she was taking me to court to get me to pay I didn't fight it. i said I'd pay and I would. I re-financed a car loan I had back then for over 3k and paid her with a certified cchek. That way I had proff of payment, and a reciept showing she recieved it. I paid it in mess than 2 weeks after the judgment of the court was passed back then. She never went to the courthouse to fill out the papers saying the thing was satisfied. WellI found out last spring that there was over $500 in interest sitting there that I was now supposed to pay. I was about ready to hunt her down. I however decided that since I was dealing with a lawyer at the time for my 2nd mortgage to do some work on the house that I'd bring this up to them. With their help and the proof of payment I had they said they'd take care of it for $200 and they agreed that the judge would throw it out and motion that it was satisified and I wouldn't have to pay anything. Well that all was going on for the last year. I recently got a letter saying I needed to be in court today (March 6) to meet with the judge to finish this. The papers showd that my Ex would also be there. I haven't seen or had to deal with her in the last 5+ years, and I was happy about that. So with today coming close I was loosing sleep both about having to actually see and deal with her bitchy ass again, and also with the thought of maybe still having to pay that money for no reason.

Well today I got done working, thought ths was going to be the day from hell. Worked last night, court this morning, pick up the kid from the play and bring her back to schoool, then pick her up after school, and finally bring her back to the colleg for the play tonight. AKA: Mike gets no sleep.

WRONG... I had all of those thoughts of a bad day in my head when I left work, and one after another ended up being blasted away.
First court....
Well Angie and I get to the courthouse, and meet up with not just "a" lawyer from the firm we were working with. It was "THE" lawyer fromthe firm. Mr. Sellman is one of the biggest attorney's in northern Mn, and also in the Twin Cities. I was shocked, and my hope started to rise that I'd get out of this with paying little to nothing of this interest.
It was after we inroduced ourselves that I come to find out that not only would my Ex NOT be there today, but it was her fault. clap.gif She didn't notify the courts when she moved from the twin cities area back up to northern Mn. biggrin.gif AKA Her notice of the hearing was mailed back with a huge "Return to sender" stamped on it. My lawyer told us at that point that it ouwldn't take more than a few minutes to get it taken care of and have satisfaction granted in whole. No money at all! We get in the courtroom, and in less than 3-4 minutes the judge agrees that payment was made in a timely manner, and that it was her fault for not finalizing the paperwork, and the case is now closed for good. So in all I thought I'd be dealing with things at the courthouse for at least an hour or so, and it took in total from waling in the doors to walking out with a huge smile on my face a grand total of 20 minute! rofl.gif

Now on to the rest of the day. I find out that Kala is being picked up from the play by her friends mom, and that I also didn't need to get them from school. Since her class had gone skiing today, and they missed out on it. They got to go home after the play, and so they ended up at her friends house until after my wife got done working this evening.. also that's because there was actually no evening show tonight either. smile.gif This left me to get a great 5-6 hours of solid sleep, a decent meal, and a little nap before work. i didn't get to see LOST, but I will in the morning.

This was the first time in many years that I can sit back, and look at it and say this was a good day.
I hate looking or feeling llike a vengful or spiteful person, but I was today. I couldn't help but feel great pleasure in the fact that after all of her underhanded and sideways crap my ex got nothing out of this other than the slack jawed look she'll have when she finally hears about this being done without her having any say in it at all. clap.gif

Hmmm... Where to even begin. First I guess I owe you all a bit of an explanation. I've been gone more often than not over the last month or so, and to be honest I can't say that it's going to change. I am back to having abunch of pots boiling, and still looking to make some changes in my life to better things at home. I honestly don't have the drive and desire to dig into LOST like I have in the past, my "Netlife" needs to be sorted out a bit also. I am pretty busy with doing some stuff for/with the Battlebud website that I joined after BAR shut down, and I've taken a Moderator spot with them. I am still working on things at home as they have been rocky at best from time to time lately, and I still have lots to work on myself to make them better yet.
I don't know how much time I'll have to be around here, and I know that when I'm on my days off I'm pretty much not on the net but to get e-mails, read some current event news, and work on learning more about graphic design. i don't know if anything will happen with it, but I've decided to try my hand at self teaching some little things, and using older text books for learning photoshop and some basic deseign programs. Mainly in the thoughts that I will get my ass back into college and get a degree. I know that I have the basic eye for this stuff, and if I can learn the basics before going back I'll be ready, and on top of my game to do well when I find a school to go through. i'm hoping for something that will allow me to take my classes online since I have time at work that I can do this. I'll only have to talk to the higher ups to see if they'd be willing to let me bring in my own laptop (will buy one if I cando this) to work to allow me to have the programs on it that i'll need.
I hope that as of this writing that everyone is well, and also their friends and family are also doing good.
i'll make an effort to get in a little on nights I'm at work just to say hello even. I miss you all, but at this point in time I really am being pulled in multiple dirrections.

On a side note I'll be sending the information etcc... to Lion for the LOST fan media site that I was starting. i will be giving it to her to do with it as she wants.
The best of luck and god bless you all. See you all again soon.

Here's a couple of the more recent works I've done.
*this first one is one of my best yet* I love the "Saran Wrap" effect.

These next couple are just fast 1/2 hour works for myself and a friend. (LL I'm about 1/2 done with yours)

V.1

V.2

Hey Snootch, I'm glad you checked in and let us know what's happening. We miss you around here, but of course your family life and life in general is always more important! I think it's great that you're pursuing the graphic design stuff. You always do good. Those are great designs! Good luck with everything! And please do stop in when you can just to say hello and update us.

Well as it always seems to be in my life I think things are turning to a brighter time, and I am shown that it's just another dead end again.
As of the last month or so since my last stop (sorry it hasn't been more guys) the following has happened.
Finished getting the rest of the work done on our house finally, still working on smaller projects, but the siding and roofs ont he house/garage are done now.
My wife is no longer working as when she was out on a disabilty deal for her foot we talked and after realizing how bad things were there for her, and how it was taking it's toll on us as a couple, and overall as a family we talked, agreed to have her quit, keeping he schooling as her focus unless she finds a job worthy of her skills and education. That's at least until she's done getting her Bachelors about this time next yr. We'll be living off my income, and we'll suplement it with student loans to keep us moving along.
I've taken to really looking for a different job as this place is a massive sinking ship with roughly 25 new people coming in since May, and also since may we've lost at least that many if not more for various reasons.
I'm clowly backing out of the battlebud site as a main member, MOD etc... as they are getting very "Kliqy" and I don't want anything to do with that crap./ I dealt with that during my time when I was working with BAR. The sight has been sold to one of the members who really uses BUD as an attention getter since he has pretty much "0" real world life outside of work and a few family things here or there. It's all about wh's cool etc.. and I'm not into that. I 've kept a few of the guys on my friends list from there, but 90% of them are gone already from my list.
I've found a new addiction that is easily the main "time suck" for me at this time in my lilfe. it's called Goalline Blitz. It's a football simulation MMORPG kind of deal. You bsically make players, train them, get them on teams, and things like that. You can upgrade them as they get better just like a RPG game of other sorts but it's football. I've gotten hooked pretty bad, and actually own my own team that I bought, and I also am a defensive cordinatior, offenseive cordinator, consultant and other things for roughly 5 more teams outside of my own.
As for my own team we're just getting ready to start our 3rd season and we've already won not just our conference chamionship, but the league championship last season. We've done very well, and shut up a lot of naysayers that thought as a newer team still last season we we going to suck. Only 2 losses all season last yr. :D
Here's the basic info on my team, and the site I'm currently putting together to give the team a place to hold info as seasons move on.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=3375

http://vbs.weebly.com/

And here's also some of the photoshop stuff I've made lately for the teams I'm involved with. All of the links at the left have my works.

https://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e325/V_B_S_team/

Well that's it in a nutshell with what I've been up to. That and of course trying to keep from getting additced to anymore shows. Sadly I'm hooked on another JJ show. "Fringe" is cool.. it's Xfiles meets CSI in a way, and very well done.

Oh and one little PS I almost forgot. I get to not only see Robin Williams live on Thur September 25th, but along with that. I GET TO MEET HIM!!!biggrin Angie and I decided that since this was a "Bucket Moment" kind of thing that instead og getting one another anything for Xmas or ourWedding Anni this past Aug that we'd pay the big money for this chance. So $1,000 later we'll be getting seats in 3rd row, meet him, get pics with him, and that also includes a Tee shirt, and $25 coupon for something on the online ite for him.
Take care everyone, and I'll make an attmpt to get in here sometime and chat.
