I asked Deanne (Ladygrimalkin) to marry me today at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Not only was she surprised, but she was completely clueless as to what was happening until my helmet visor was raised. See me and my fair maiden in action, as we attempted to videotape this event to share with you. A more descriptive version of the events can be found here (Including my poem and scripting for the show). Broadband and 56k versions ar available.

It has definitely been one heck of a fun summer, and an even more challenging year. Deanne and I will be getting married in Dutchland (Amsterdam), and if all goes well, it will be Fall 2005. Watch this space for news on the wedding plans. Our summer has been PACKED with fun and excitement. We have gone to California for one heck of a vacation, camped out several times, gone to King's Island and the local waterpark, hit the Columbus Zoo, the Great Lakes Ren Faire, and there is a whole lot more planned. Pictures for all of these events and more can be found in my personal gallery. In the "Fun Stuff" section of the gallery are some home improvement projects I have done lately, as well as pics of me in the new Ren Faire costume.

My side passion, the gaming site GameClubCentral.com, has been doing very well. GCC has given away a BUNCH of stuff this summer, including a Crucial Radeon 9600XT video card, copies of Doom 3, Gish, and much more. We have also updated the look and feel of the site by moving to GCC 3.0, redone the menu system, and have been attempting to recreate some of that community gaming magic by bringing back game days and tournaments (Check the gaming calendar). In the very near future, several of the GCC staff will be spearheading regular monthly columns for the gaming community. GCC is also growing again as we are seeing nearly double our normal traffic this summer, and nearing the 10,000 member mark!

My good friend Kristy from Nilaihah Records, and the EBM band, The Azoic, is about to release her new album. She is a great friend, and local artist, I wanted to make sure I let all of you here know about it. Her music is very modern, and in my opinion, Angelic and dark all at the same time. Check out some of the mp3 clips on her site for the new album if you like, and be sure to check out her new CD in stores next month!

I decided to fix the personal site today, welcome back! I have been working quite a bit lately, mostly contract stuff with horrid hours. Luckily, I start a new job with MCI this Monday, and things are looking up for the dragon. Lady Grimalkin and I have had quite a year, and we have posted some new pics in our family & friends gallery. I also have some new shots of my Chameleon in the pet gallery.

I will also admit that I am once again considering marriage. Lady Grimalkin and I seem to truly cherish one another, and I love her with all of my heart. If and when we do decide to take that plunge again (We have both been married once before to different people obviously ), we will be eloping to Europe, and then having a small celebration once we return stateside for the family.

We are planning on taking a family trip to California again this year, but this time, we are taking her daughter Gina with us. She is currently 10, and we are going to have a great summer vacation with her. I will try and keep this page updated, but if you are here I am sure you know how busy I get with the other websites I am responsible for, heh heh.
