• Went to Dinosaur World.  EPIC.

I read a lot of books, went a lot of places, and did a lot of things.  Life, in my humble opinion, is meant to be lived like a video game.  Each level should be more exciting than the last – so I’m looking forward to what crazy shit I pull off in 2011.  InvaderCON is already going to be amazing.  The Florida Anime Experience is already on deck to be epic (keep watching; we’re still making stuff “official”).  Shannon and I are already discussing where to go for our annual anniversary trip in November.

My geek life will hopefully cart me off to some pretty amazing locales for some blog-worthy experiences.

This will be my ninth year writing about my life online for the world to read about me.  If you’re still with me, thanks for taking the time to read about my boring ass life.  I write to stay sane and to maek sure my grammmar skills stai intact. Hopefully the writing is entertaining enough to keep all five (ten?) of you still reading.

Have a wonderful and eventful 2011!
