Ladies and Gentlemen. An announcement.

I had this long, drawn out, intro. But I'll just get to the heart of the matter.

The end of August, Kim and I are packing up and moving to Montgomery Alabama.

It wasn't an easy choice to make, but the fact that there is nothing here in Monroe for us, we feel it's time to move on and make our way in the world. We feel that Montgomery, a city that is growing exponentially, holds more opportunities for us. Opportunities for growth, for education, for family.

Already Kim and I have jobs in Montgomery. We have a network of friends, new and old, that have pledged themselves to help us in any way they can, so we are not doing this blindly on the hope that we can find something.

We'll miss you all, but the great thing is we're only a short 5 hour drive away. It's not like you're never going to see us again. We'll visit, you guys can visit. We'll all visit.

We'll have a going away get together at some point. We want to see everyone before we leave. And any gals out there that have been wanting to make out with me...well now's your chance. :-)

Peace and love.

Tony and Kim

Dorkness Rising

I'm a gamer. There I said it. I don't know why I feel there's a bit of stigma to it, but I get excited when I talk games. I feel a bit of elation when I get my issue of Game Informer in the mail and sadness when that issue has the "your subscription is about to run out" cover. I get totally emotional when E3 comes around.

This year is the year for gaming. At least on consoles anyway. Rock Band 2 in September, Fable 2 in October. Gears of War 2, Lego Batman, Fallout 3, MegaMan 9, Last Remnant, Final Fantasy IV and DragonQuest IV all come out this year. And I'm sure I missed a few more. But all that gets me a giddy.

Yes, I'm a dork.

And you know what else?

I play Dungeons and Dragons and other various pen and paper rpg games.

Yup. Sure do. There. My dirty little secret is out. And I'm proud to say it. I finally feel like I can embrace my inner dork.

Feels good.

So there, I posted. I really didn't mean to go for so long with out an update, but it seems that lately anything neat or cool happening to me has also happened to Kim and there for she beats me to the post button. I don't mind really. I haven't had a lot to say really.

I might have something to say soon. I'm 99.9% sure I will. So I guess I'll leave you with that little tease.
