Ha! I have conquered this blog with my l337 h@x0r $kIlLz! Well, okay not really. Wizzer has invited me to join this blog to share pearls of wisdom, bits of wit and humor, and whatever else I feel like posting.

Anyway, since this my first post, all I can say is…It’s not my fault! *points at Wizzer*

Well, Welcome to the new world order…. well actually it’s just a new Blogging system. It was brought up to me that I was working too much old school on my site by updating my blog in just HTML. I guess if you use a system like Googles Blogger, it uses RSS which, I guess, is better. Shrug. Who am I to go against the masses.

I am just a sheep like everyone else. (: Well My weekend was nice and quiet. I Did actually clean a lot of the den up. It not finished by any means, but it’s getting there. I threw out about 1 full car load of just Crap that I didn’t need anymore. Also, in the good news catagory, I got my new Mobo yesterday, Got it installed and running. Picked up the A7N8X-E Delux. It’s Shaweet! Also got a new Flight stick (I stopped saying joystick cause it felt dirty). It’s the new Logitech Freedom It’s cordless and very very nice, I have already run a few missions in X-wing alliance using it. Gotta practice for Jump to Lightspeed!!!! Anways, I am gonna tweak this Blog thing out a bit more.

Home Again! Arrived back home from Tennessee last night at 7pm. What a Trip! This is going to be another Day by Day break out for you:

Thursday: Pretty Much Work as normal, Doc Finally arrived at around midnight, I did some Schooling on him in HALO and we crashed out.

Friday: Begin the Long drive we will. Heading out at around 8:30, we drove I66 to I81 to I40. It was Very long and Arduous. I remember Stopping in a few places, maybe, and somewhere along the trip I think I was going 100mph. But we arrived at 6:30pm Nashville time. A quick trip to Walmart for some forgotten Socks and Underware (I was tired when I packed!) Then a Trip to the Liquor store, and the Rest of the Night became a Haze….

Saturday: Ohhhh My head! I think we finally got up around noonish, Clint and His Wife Anaka showed up and we talked of Old times. We even Went out and Saw his new Mini Cooper. Doc and I decided to have fun with some of the Neighborhood kids and Got dressed up in Trooper gear. then we went inside and Watched Lee Graduate online, That was an interesting experience. Then headed over to His Parents house for a Small “get together”. After that we went to a Very Nice Japanese Restraunt. The Food was Fantastic! I had the Chicken Teriyaki. Afterwards we had a Nice Cake made up for Lee’s Graduation. From there we ventured out to the “Worlds Largest Book Store”. If I have to explain, You don’t need to know. After that we decided to wind down a bit and went out to a small Irish Pub in downtown Nashville (it was a little hard to find). From there, Home and sleep.

Sunday: ANother late and Lazy morning, Around 11:30 we Headed to Lynchburg to Visit the Jack Daniels Distillery. Wow! that was Awesome!, it was a great tour and we had a blast (litteraly). I think the smell got burned into my nose cause even now, I think I smell Whiskey. Got some Great Pics from the Trip over in the Gallery, Why don’t Y’all check it out over thar. Took a Nice tour around Lynchburg and visit the shops. Drove from there back home where we Rounded the evening off with Lost in Translation to remind us of times in Japan.

Monday:The Drive back home. Within about 10 min from the time I woke up, the Car was Packed. I didn’t want to get home too Late seeing as how I needed to work the next morning, Doc was likewise interested in it seeing as how he had an extra 3 hours to drive from my Place. The trip home was fairly un-Eventful, we had one stop at Sonic, because there isn’t a sonic near me. and then got home by 7pm. Stevie Tired, Stevie Went to bed.

So now I get to play catch up at work, Thankfully I don’t think I have any Major Travel plans for a while. I think I may try and get the Den clean this weekend. Hopefully I will check in Before then.

I am in Pain, Star Wars Weekends is over, We drove 13 hours to get to FL and Had a Blast, This is going to have to be another Break down by day Starting on Thursday so here we Go:

Thursday: Not much to say here, woke up very early to drive down to Richmond. Met up with Rusty (one of the Tyranus Guys) and we Headed from there to FL. It was a Very long trip. Thankfully we had an Audio Book to Fill at least 6 hours of it. We got to Gerry’s Place by about 9 pm and Crashed out (after watching the “Transporter”).

Friday: Our first Parade Day!!! We woke up around 7:30 and Headed out to MGM Studios to Get ready. Met up with a LOT of the 501st guys that came in from all over. I have to say that Marching in a Parade through Disney’s MGM Studios is one of the Coolest things I have done yet with the 501st! It was such an Incredible rush! All of the Tourists Smiling and Waving and Taking Pictures. It was Amazing. After the Parade, I Went to the Hotel to meet up with Arik and Brian. We were Staying at the Old Key West Resort which was really nice! That Afternoon we Decided on a Break from the Disney stuff and Tried out Universal Studios. Sadly it started to Rain and Storm ): BUT… It was a Nice rain, and it cleared out a lot of people, after the storm Passed, we were able to ride quite a few rides really quick. The Spider Man ride was one of my Favs. After that it was a Nice dinner at the house of Blues and Back to Get some Sleep.

Saturday: Up again for Parade! This time we had the Largest Showing of Troopers, 18 Bikers and bout 60ish TK guys. it was an Awesome sight! After the Parade Arik and Brian Met up with me in MGM and we Checked out all of the Star Wars Stuff. Then headed over to Epcot to check out the new Mission Space! It was a great ride. Was very Excited to find out that one of the Pubs in England (Epcot world Showcase) Serves Cider!! I was a Very Happy boy. After a quick Jaunt around the world of Epcot, we headed back to MGM to ride the Aerosmith Coaster. Then it was off to Dinner at the Polynesian Resort. There is a Restraunt there called Ohana (Ohana means Family) and it’s amazing. All you can eat Fresh BBQ. I was Stuffed! and with my feet starting to Hurt from all the Walking / Marching, I was done. Arik and Brian headed out to Pleasure Island to see the Clubs and I went to bed.

Sunday: Last Day for the Parade. With still an Impressive showing we Did our last parade for the Star Wars Weekends. This is something that I will Never forget. After the Parade I headed back to the Hotel while Arik and Brian Checked out the other Parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom) I Met up with them again at Epcot (after a Nice Morrocan Lunch) where we did the Official World Tour. We met up with a Great Bunch of young Ladies that we Kept running into Through-out the Park. We had a Nice dinner in Italy (with good Company), and Headed out to watch the Fireworks Show over the Epcot Lake. At this Point, I was ready to chop off my Feet. I think it would have Hurt less. a Nice Bus ride back and we were at the Hotel Crashing out for the evening.

Monday: The Drive! Woke up at around 8 and Had Arik drop me off at Rusty’s Hotel. We hit the road at 11am with another Book in tow. 11 hours later we hit Richmond and it was my turn to solo it the rest of the way. Made it home by midnight and Promptly Crashed out to come to work the next morning. What a weekend!!!
