Work (and Writing) Status · 1:28pm Jun 16th, 2015
Well, I finally did it. I finally got my pay raised high enough that my company can't afford to work me 50+ hours a week!
(it's really more to do with synching up mine and my mechanic's own schedule, but I like to think it's also this) 
What does this mean in the grand scheme of things?
Well....
It means I'll FINALLY have a set schedule to work off of, which means I can FINALLY get back into a serious writing groove! 
Here's my weekly schedule for the foreseeable future:
SUNDAY: 11 AM to 5 PM (off alternating weekends)
MONDAY: 8 AM to 5 PM
TUESDAY: OFF (if worked on Sunday) or 8 AM to 2 PM if not worked on Sunday
WEDNESDAY: 8 AM to 6 PM
THURSDAY: off
FRIDAY: 8 AM to 5 PM
SATURDAY: 8 AM to 5 PM
That gives me a total of 43 hours MAXIMUM for a week and plenty of extra time to write (and get back on Skype for those who have wondered where the heck I've gone to lately).
Now then, some status updates:
Next chapter of Blue Angel: roughly 3k words so far, and it's looking like another uber chapter (30k words plus this time!) 
The uber blog: 
Wingblades and Pegasus Combat Culture: 6,961 words (this sucker is turning into a real doozy!)
CMC Delta Airlines: 2k words (still )
So I haven't been totally dead, just really busy (I also got into a little credit card debt that I'm trying to pay off as well as saving up for a house) 
ALSO...I'll be uploading pictures and descriptions of all my knives to the Blades group, as I'm looking to start selling about 90% of my collection within the coming year. That also includes my swords and equipment I don't get much use out of anymore, and I feel could go to a good home. 
SO, expect writing/Skyping to take place after work and on my off days from here on out!
I also won an Xbox One in a raffle at work (yeah, crazy right?!) and I've since discovered an excellent/insane game called "Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor," that has more than slaked my thirst for a good LOTR game that could hold up to the old EA games from years ago. This game is downright nuts!
I mean, the level of detail that they go into with the Nemesis system is unlike anything I've ever seen before, and it leads to some frustrating, as well as highly entertaining, rivalries between the player and the NPC Uruks. Check it:
I highly recommend it!
In other news...saw Jurassic World in IMAX 3D last week, and...
NAH, who am I kidding, it was AWESOME!!!
It was totally a dinosaur fanboy's wet dream!
Screw science and character study, if you went to this movie looking for that, you're in the wrong frickin movie, man! 
Ahem, pardon me 
Let's see, what else happened this weekend...oh yeah, the Game of Thrones season 5 finale happened.
And...
That's all I have to say about that!
Hrm...I seem to be forgetting something, though...what the hell is it...damn, I'm getting old and forgetful.
Volare: Dammit dude, really? Here, lemme help you!
Heehee, I LOVED the crap outta the 100th episode. I especially love that some Blue Angel canon was further reinforced by it:
Dat split down da middle duplex 
Volare: Stop shamelessly plugging your stories in every blog, dude!
Me: Ahem, ok *rolls eyes at tagged story*
So...here we are again, and here I go again.
Stay Pony, My Friends, and I'll see ya soon!
PS: I'll reiterate that I'm also attending Fiesta Equestria this year down in Houston. Anyone else going?
Well, Jurassic World was okey for most parts.
UNTIL THE MOTHERFUCKING T-REX APPEARED ON SCREEN!
That was without doubt the best and most satisfying part of the whole movie. Pulled it from "merely okay" to "AWESOME!"
3153903 YES! It was on 100th episode levels of fan-pandering (don't you DARE tell me you never wanted to see something like that!) but I loved it in a Mad Max sort of ridiculous way!
3153908 I agree.
IIRC, they never say it's a rex until it comes out, but damn is that scene epic and everybody in my family knew what was in there.
I just wanted these doors open, and when they finally were; oh boy did that TRex looked pissed and epic.
(And staring at the little girl who DARED to once again trick her with flares)
I think she (the rex) was ready to kill and eat Chuck Norris, the way she looked.
And they got the roar absolutely right.
I eagerly await those new chapters.
Hrrmmmmm yes. Octavia and Vinylacratch confirmed for pianoguys.
Oh, yes. Jurassic World. I had my doubts, but at the end, I was best supporting actor.
Just kidding. Have more pianoguys.
I am glad to see that all your hard work has finally paid off.
Yep, I immediately Blue Angel when we saw that Vinyl and Octavia's house.
You want to know something even more awesome than watching Jurassic Park? Going to the newly opened Diosaur World exhibit with Full Sized animatronic dinosaurs, then going watching the movie.
Episode 100? the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony of the series?
Ahh Shadow of Mordor. I've had a few moments like the Angry Joe vid. Repeatedly bashing my head against a war-chief and not being able to kill him. Lots of tears, and so much rejoice when you finally see their head go flying.
Grats on the work schedule changes, that'll be a nice increase in quality of life moving forward. It really does make such a difference when you can reliably work for only 40 or so hours a week.
I will be watching and weighting for up dates.
and I love Blue Angel it is just so good.
Harts Fire
If I were to suddenly win the Powerball, I would be goin.
Good to see that you're gonna be back, finally
Always good to hear from you boss!
Yay writing
Ya know like almost 2 years ago I was just browsing the longest stories on here and yours looked pretty good. Now I am a 100% truthful that I read your story in 6 days. No not 6 full days. 6 days of coming home from school (Mon-Fri) and then most of Saturday. I've graduated since and I think you've updated the chapters maybe 3 times (maybe). I got really into this story and glad your still putting effort into it. So more updates like this would be nice and thanks for still keeping it alive, I'll look forward to the next chapter.
I was on live for the 100th episode, but I never finished watching live.
Shadow of Mordor reminds me of Dark Souls for some reason.
I'm going!
Lol that RD pic HAHAHAHA!!!!
This reminded me that I wanted to get shadow of Mordor, but never did. I saw gameplay vids everywhere and I was like "nope, I wanna play it myself. No spoilers".
And then I never bought it.
Good to see that you're coming back, man. Looking forward to the new chapters!
Why not start splitting your chapters in half or something? Chapters with lots of words in them can be kind of intimidating.
I love the fact that this story has chapters that are longer than my guessed "Average" new stories... oh, and I have some good songs that Octavia and Vinal might like. Sting makes wonderful Orchestrals of some of The Police's famous songs like She's too good for me, and Every little thing she dose is magic. but I digress. this has to be the longest story I have read since the last harry potter . Keep up the awesome work
