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.

Life 05/14/2012

  Well a lot has been happening lately... I've finished my first semester in school (which I disdain) and am unsure what to go for (again), I'm still working 3rd shift, I got a raise (hit the right number of hours... Awesome), fallen away from God in my walk and am coming closer (again... :^/  ), outdoors, Marmalade Dog, prep for GMing at Origins Game Fair, sister joined Navy, gardening, my two best friends broke up (and it seems unfortunately I've lost one...), finished SteamPunk shotgun, new used sewing machine, being bad with finances (working on it.... Still....), tired... Am I crazy or depressed, no, can't be depressed, I'm happy, haha... Yeah... tired, much I am. Oh, and stuff... Oh yeah, ordered a kilt, not that anyone reading this cares because there aren't any readers, then again I'm to blame for not posting like a good blogger and changing what I blog about from post to post and my interests (still God, Nature/plants, SteamPunk, and general Geekiness).. GLYAASDI --Nate--

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.
