Everyday is exactly the same.

  One and a half hours to go with work for the day.. Goodness it is kicking my butt today. Trying to keep chipper.
  Was talking to the store manager today and he complimented me on my moustache again. Also found out that he likes ren-faires. Pretty cool guy when he isn't punched in.
  Smoked my second Cigar yesterday. A "Red Witch - Robusta"... And she was a nasty witch at that. Good cigar, just to spicy for me at the moment.
  Gotta jet.

Work, smart phones, & cigars..

  Well it is nearly August now. The wedding is nearly upon us, 98 more days. I am still full-time at Menard's. I bought a smart phone, my first one, a Samsung S II, from a friend. I like it.

  I became a part of a business, Life Leadership, which is a leadership development business. It is making Hannah and I have hope, that we have a purpose and a goal. Good stuff.

  Also, yesterday was my future father-in-law's birthday, so we got him some cigars. Naturally I bought some for myself as well. It was my first time smoking a cigar, and simply put, it was wonderful. I tried a Black Pearl, but I have a Red Witch & a Cuban Reject left.

  Alright, time to go to work.
Cheers!

P. S. I am also trying to stop swearing as well.

Summer is coming..

Well,
  It is June.. I am full-time at Mendard's now. I work a lot. I hardly see Hannah. I live with her parents. I am depressed, confused, and yet somewhat content (not living here, gracious no).
  We have been looking at apartments now that I got that raise, and there is some luck. I don't know why I bother to blog when all I do is use it as a diary (I have a hard time writing my thoughts down, but typing allows me to put them down at a closer speed than manually).
  Been taking on extra hours, also adjusting to the fact that working so much and seeing everyone I don't work with so little is what I will have to get used to the rest of my life. Maybe eventually I can return to the bliss of my childhood, where I had time for passions and hobbies, let alone time to read for pleasure..
  Also, I like this song.. And agree that it'd make for a neat cover if Switchblade Symphony came back from the dead.

P.S. The wedding is also looming, I don't know what to feel towards it as even I am doubting that is will happen without outside intervention from God, which I know He is blessing us, but still.. W/e right?

My Saturday Night Off 04/26/2014

  Well my night off, (I open Saturday's then work 2nd shift on Sunday) and I am trying to figure life out as usual, trusting in God and feeling empty.
  Hannah started construction of some fairy wings for her Senior pictures, using cellophane, glue, and poster board. Seems to be going well, she is going for a luna-moth influenced type of fairy.
  I love costumes, such fun, to pretend to not have any worries.

Sewwing

Where to begin? Sad, depressed, stressed, and feeling hopeless as I usually do...
  Well I have been back in Michigan for some time now and I've been working at Menard's since early February and I have become employee of the week twice now (only once a month you are allowed and then it is placed in a drawing for the month), and being out of 280+ people I think that is pretty good. They pay well and are a great place to work for... It just isn't enough to live on at the moment..

  Needless to say I am working all the hours I can and am trying to fix my car/save up for a new one, plus just save money.. I'm also looking at different jobs because with the wedding and all we will need a little bit more to live off of.

  I'm sad and find trouble wanting to continue, my fiance knows this, and so does God, but why does that not help?

  Oh, and I'm sewing more shtuff onto my denim jacket. I made a "Ministry" patch and am currently attaching pop-tabs.. Ee'Yup.

My return on 01/23/2013

 Well then, I have returned from my absence of leave. I have done much, and seen much, and yet.. Here I return to my humble blog, which is a creation I may despise and curse at at times, to type and to tell of my life (and also to tell that I need to spend less time on the internet, I'm writing a blog post for crying out loud!!!).
 Well I have lost my job, dropped out of school due to finances, have a wonderful girlfriend whom I wish to marry, and am trying to get back on track with God. I now enjoy Doctor Who, went to another Origins Game Fair (Idk if I already posted that), aaaaaaand cleaned my room... Sorta..

 Ciao,

God Loves You All And So Do I

P. S. This blog is no longer specifically LotR related so there goes anybody who cares to actually read it for the Miniature Wargaming aspect.

Well now

Hello dear bloggerees,

It has been quite some time since I posted and I apologize for that...So many things but not I guess,so also I've realized that I'm going to be changing my blogging style,theme,and posts/blog.

As for whats been happening,I've been working,going to school,started playing Magic the Gathering (the one abomination(or so I thought) of a game I swore I never played),and yeah..
I also have decided that in the time being of school I as I do not have much time As I used to I am temporarily giving up my miniatures that I love so much (with no others but me around here who play the systems I do) but oh well...

So yeah,I have finished my SteamPunk Nerf Machine Gun,and I also got the double-barrel verticle Buzzbee shotgun which I'm nearly done painting (nearly done,something that a lot of my projects seem to be at the state of)...Yeah.

God Loves You All And So Do I!! --Nate--

Where has the time gone!?

Hey guys,sorry that my posts have been increasingly lacking.Lets see here,what's happened lately is this:God gave me a job as a 3rd shift stocker at Meijer's,I went on a missions trip to Kokomo Indiana with my youthgroup and have had God change me and my views in lots of crazy ways,I made some actual friends (no offense to any of you guys if you read this (I doubt it)),I've been making a rough 28mm scale Firefly class miniature,I've watched the Firefly TV series and am hooked (Serenity is next),I have received my "Worldwide Gothic" book in the mail (it is 5 stars by the way),I've received my Solar Cabin homesteading book in the mail too,I've FINALLY received my two TechCommander starters in the mail,I've been doing sewing/mending,and yeah...That is about it for now,I've also been prepping for college which I think is going to be..Hmm,what is the word...Epic in all aspects.Oh,I've been also saving up money to by a vehicle of my own that actually runs and has good gas millage (compared to my truck or my grandparents truck)...Anyhoo,GLYASDI! --Nate--

Dehydrating Mushrooms and Summer Seasonal Jobs

Well the other day I once again found myself dehydrating clearance price mushrooms (this was the third batch this month)...I'm getting quite good at it if I may say so myself,I added some pre-sliced "white button mushrooms" to that jar and some "baby bella" to their jar as well.They are tasty

 Pre-sliced tasteless tasty goodness.

Baby Bellas

Anyhoo,I also remembered that some friends of our family recommended that me and my sister need to spend a summer one year to work as a seasonal at Mackinac Island so I went and applied to a bunch of places earlier today so I'm hoping to be hired(of course if I can't get the time off for Origins then I guess I'll work next year)...I'll upload some pictures of my more recent SteamPunk clothing mods in a bit here in another post,--Nate--
