Hello, everyone!

So I gave out the URL to this site to a number of my close friends today while volunteering with Paws of Paradise, the local no-kill animal rescue group that meets at PetCo on Saturdays. I'm hoping that they'll drop by, so that they can get my email address from the top of the page and see how I'm doing.

To all of you, hello! Thanks so much for your support during this big transition in my life. I really appreciate all of you.

I honestly don't know if anyone else reads this blog at all, but I hope all that do will enjoy reading what I've got to say about life and whatever else I write about. Thanks for your support.

Love you all!

A Simple Update

The 26th is only 15 days away... I'm preparing for it as best as I can. Trying to spend time with those that I love, and trying to get mentally and physically ready for boot camp. It's not too difficult, just somewhat repetitive.

I'm finding that things aren't going to be as hallmark-happy as I want them to be before I leave. Some relationships here won't be fixed immediately, and despite the fact that I want to heal them before I leave, this won't be possible. I only hope my time away can help, so that when I return every now and again the relationship can find itself stronger. I hate losing friends, especially those that I care so deeply about.

The card game that Bree and I have been inventing has a new name, Agents of War. Again, this name might change, but the game itself is maturing pretty well. We haven't been playing it as much as I'd wish, but that's okay. There are still a few rules that need to be updated or changed or removed for the game to work properly, and I'm pretty sure we're getting it down. Again, when the game is ready for release (at least a strong beta release) I'll post it here as a PDF.

If you pray, pray for me and my loved ones in the next two weeks. If you don't pray, then send good wishes or something. Love you all.

Right-Brain Rehabilitation

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I've spent far too long away from my keyboard, far too long without typing or writing or creating anything new. This isn't good for me. One of the things I try to do is keep myself balanced. My passions include both logical and artistic endeavors, from writing software to writing poetry, from logic puzzles to art. I enjoy creativity and learning, and I try to keep those balanced.

But recently I've found myself leaning too far to the left-brain, the logical side of life. While my creativity is still around, it's typically focused into software projects and thoughts about science and psychology. There isn't much effort going into the artistic side of my life, and I feel there should be.

That is one of the reasons for the creation of this blog. One of the other reasons is that I'm joining the Navy, and wanted a place for my friends to see how I'm doing. But the main reason for this site is just to get my creative flow back, to start putting words down, and to get inspired.

I've had a few thoughts recently about books and stories I'd like to write. And while I know I'll probably never finish a full-length novel any time soon, I would like to try my hand at the short-stories. I just need to find my starting point, and a little inspiration.

Anyway... Here's to hoping this site will bring out my creative side.

Join my Church.

I'm now an officially ordained Minister in the Universal Life Church, and as such, I've started my own church, called the Legion of Life (LoL). All are welcome to join, regardless of religious affiliation (or lack thereof).

The ULC is purely non-denominational, and accepts people from all faiths and religions.

So, now that I'm a Minister, I can legally perform weddings, baptisms, funerals, and any manner of other religious ceremonies (except circumcision, which I'll leave to the doctors).

No joke. This is totally for real.

You can call me Reverend Iceschade now.

And join my church, the LoL.

First Post!

Alright, boys and girls, here begins my brain-dump. You don't have to read it, you don't have to like it, you don't have to care. But you can, if you want. Obviously, there will be more to read later on, so check back whenever you want.
