Here we are again.
All is going well right now. Tracy just started a new job yesterday, and I applied for a job at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. It's only part time but it will be good experience. I've also got another place or two i will apply at as well. The employment program is coming along well and I am making good progress with it so far.
The summer has been good so far, aside from some crappy weather. Really enjoying things, and having fun being on the go a fair bit.
Things are going awesome with me and Tracy right now. Hard to believe it will be a year together now by the end of August. Looking forward to awesome times together in the coming months. Alot of stuf on the go. Can't say what the next while holds for us in terms of living arangements and stuf, but we'd like to have our own place some time this fall. Will see how that all goes. Would like to have a full time job first. Also there are other posibilities that we'll have to see about, but thats it.
I am getting into a new project soon. A computer rpg game, styled after the old Dungeon Master games, and D&D games like Eye of the Beholder. Would like to make the game system as original as posible. Still thinking up a storry and premise. Just in the early preplanning stage right now. Will keep you all up on this one.
So with this news I let you know now that I have disbanded Electric Gremlin Ideas, and will start a new label for my game programming. Will of course be doing a brand new site and all. Hoping it goes well.
Well not much else to report right now. Will talking with you all again soon. Later.

Stranger than fiction
Howdy people. Here I am again.
Had my next apointment with the employment centre today since i had my "real" intake assesment. Finally learned all about the program today and now have the whole picture on the deal now. And I've got to say it sounds really awesome! I'm extremely impressed. While its called an employment program, what it really is, is a career developement program. The aim is not nesasarily to get me into a job in my field right away but to get me what ever experience i can use to gradualy get me closer to my career goals. Eventually i may even end up with in field related work. The program is layered in a gradual step by step process that will inch me closer to my true goals. Man who knows? in a year i could be selling computers, and in a year after that I could be fixin 'em and stuf. That would be awesome! Well it might not be that quick, but we'll see. I'm hoping to be far enough in the program by the end of the summer to start applying for work which means it will coincide with when all the college students go back to school. I'm excited but trying to stay grounded as well. So we will have to see how it goes.
Me and Tracy are doing awesome right now. Things seem to be moving along well with us right now.
I hope you guys are all doing awesome too. Talk with you all soon.

Let it go Indiana...
Howdy people. Just thought i'd post again today as the last post left out some details that i didn't bring up since i wasn't able to focus on the last post.
Well today Tracy had an interview for a recepsionist job, and it looks verry positive. The details all sound good. As for myself i am hopeful that the employment center will be processing my case soon. There are some extra details about the program that i left out last time. There will be ceminars as well as one on one counselling for resume writing and interview preperation. Also they will speak on my belhalf with employers about making special acomidations where i do have bipolar and anxiety and made need extra considerations, such as optional extra breaktime and specific shift imes, like no over-night shifts. Am really looking forward to getting on the go with the program. Hopefuly i will get something in my field. Who knows... Well here's hoping.
Am starting to make plans for the near future. Me and tracy are thinking about getting a place together probably in the early fall or whenever we can afford to. I'd like to have a job by then and would say that shouldn't be a problem. It will all take a little while to get ironed out anyway.
PS: Just got my apointment for my OT assessment over the phone for next thursday.
Well thats how things have been so i will with you all soon. Will keep you posted here.

Dingo viagra monkey quank
Well it's been a little while, so here's whats been going on.
We had my b-day party on saturday this past weekend. It was a blast. Jon M made his famous chili again. It was awesome. Got some cool gifts from the b'ys. Steve gave me the FF12 strategy guide and a copy of Ghosts N' Ghouls for the NES. Another great gem to add to my collection. Also the guide for ff12 will come in quite handy. What a beuatiful book. Also Chuck gave me a copy of The Darwin Awards, and an IQ puzzle book. The puzzles i will never figure out, but who knows. Thanks guys, real cool gifts! The evening was awesome. Everyone was there at some point in the evening. It was cool chating with everyone again. Me and Tracy had a great time. Thanks Steve for being the host again. I apreciate it greatly. Now that Kevin's home hopefully well all get together again real soon.
Hoping to start writing on the novel again soon, as I have finally decided to actually produce a full featured version of the Beyond Braxis as a video computer game. Will need to the story to write the plot for the game. Also having the storry in novel form as well as a solid working tech demo of the game, will help sell the game to a decent publisher / distributor. The version of the game i will be doing will be a sprite based game. However if i am able to sell the game then i would liketo do it in 3-d.
Today I had an apointment with the employment center again, and oficialy had my intake assessment. I will be hearing back from them soon to set up my OT assessment and should be starting the program soon. Looking forward to getting a decent job soon.
Well time to go. Will keep you guys up on things.

One foot in front of the other
Howdy folks. Things have been going much better lately.
Well I did something today that i have not done in several years. And that is drawing. Gonna do it again tomorow sometime. One of the anime wallpapers i had for doing full sized posters, I drew part of it as practice. The first atempt was crap, so i started over, made it bigger to show more detail. It turned out pretty good actualy. Looking forward to doing more. :) As for the novel and the paper game i will have to get to them again soon too.
Still doing some tweeking on the computer. Downloading music, and ebooks currently. I should an 80 gig sata hard drive by the second week of july. Looking forward to that. Can't wait for that, since i will be able to do some serious downloadding then. I am really impressed with the excelent performance of the revamped machine. I diggin' it.
Still waiting for the student loan thing to get straightened out. Should be hearing from the employment center soon. Also waiting for the school to send me my next shipment. Still got one lesson left on the current shipment. Maintaining an A average.
Well saturday is the party. See you all there at Steve's. Chow.

If you're reading this title you better leave a reply!!!!
Ok people Here we are again. It's been months since anyone has left a reply here, so I'd like to hear from you guys...
So recently I bought some new parts to upgrade my computer, out of my bday money. Friday i put it all together and she wouldn't work. So monday i find out it's the ram giving me a problem. So i return it and yesterday i put it back together again. Though it took me all day to get it straightend out and put windows back on it. But all is going well with the frankenstien I've created.
My birthday weekend went well. Me and Tracy went to dinner on saturday. We went to jungle jim's and it was awesome. We ordered the kitchen sink between us and we got our drinks for free because of the wait. We got out sunday to see steve and the b'ys.
Monday i was over to steve's for a barbacue and was fed much. It was a blast. Looking forward to the birthday party on saturday. Cna't wait! See you all there!
Well just a short one today, since i didn't go on a rant this time. Later all.

Hate me today... Hate me tomorow...
Howdy there people. How's it going?
Things have not been the greatest for me lately. I am really frustrated with everything lately. Just getting pissed off at every little thing going on right now. I wouldn't mind but I just reached a point before all this where i feel really good about everything, and the little things don't bug me anymore, and i understand the world around me a lot better now. I mean where it's taken me over eight months to reach this point it disapoints me to see all this frustration in my life right now where I feel all this recent progress is just going straight out the window...
There are a lot of things going on in my life right now that just are plain driving me insane... I just feel a little overwhelmed right now... I just don't know what to do about it all. I mean I'm pissed about alot of things and i don't really know what to do about it all. Yeah i know I'm repeating myself. But thats the way things are right now...
One thing right now is this: The student loan people are driving me nuts.... back in march I applied for interest relief. The bank kept calling me wondering if i applied for interest relief. I kept telling them that i had already applied and they said they had not heard from the student loan people yet... So a few weeks back i get a nasty letter from the student loan service centre and they said i was four months into arears. I called them and they said it hadn't gone through yet because the bank wouldn't give them complete information... So last week the bank calls again and they say they have not recieved any word from the student loan people at all. So i explain to them and neither side know what the other is doing... So it looks like i will have to file a new application because the current one is probably expired... Bone heads... I wouldn't mind but i only have 4 months of relief left including back dated months which haven't even been back dated yet. So they threaten to screw up my credit report if I do not fix it some how, but it's their fault... So last friday i call to get financing from Dell Canada on a new X box 360 bundle and because of the student loan issues i can't get aproved credit. SO thats one thing...
And then there's the employment center people... I called last Monday over a week ago now and they still have not tracked down an ocupational therapist in order to do my OT assessment which i need for them to move forward with my case... All they can tell me is that the hold up is with eastern health care, and that they contract out to them so they are at their mercy as it seems so am I. Frustrating i know but nothing i can do about it right now. Just have to be patient. Well my patience are running out.. With everything...
Well thats the way thing s have been lately... I should be happier with my birthday being sunday. As for the party i will keep you informed on that when plans are made.
So long for now.
