        Admitedly this is getting a little ridiculous. You can see it has been quite a while since I've last updated this site or any of my others. The only excuse is that I've been very busy, the good side is that I have many things to update you on. The most important and sad news is that my Grandpa died the week before last. He was truly a wonderful man, I can only hope I'm able to honor him by living up to the example he has set for me. Grandpa had been sick for better than three years and finally his body just couldn't take anymore, honestly it was better for him to pass, but he has left many people very sad. Grandma is doing well considering she has lost her husband of 62 years and we will all do our best to help her through this difficult time. Grandpa was so much to so many people. Love and kindness have lost their greatest friend.

        I can't belive how long it has been since my last blog update, there have been a few other updates through out the page so it isn't quite as bad as it looks. Unfourtunatly I haven't been doing much modeling, I've just been busy working and trying to find time to live life. Well since my last update I celebrated my 32nd birthday, there's nothing like getting older to make you feel old! The biggest problem with aging is that you start to realize that you might not acomplish everything that you'ld like to in life, the only good thing is that if you are able to accomplish everything you want to then you have set the bar to low (that or you're just lazy).
    There are a few other things that have been going on in life. My niece Marin celebrated her first birthday, the celebration was a blast, she is so cute!  My brother in law had his 30th birthday and we had a great get together  with wonderful food and incredible weather. Wow I guess that everyone is getting older, that beats the heck out of the alternative!
     In other news spring has sprung and i'm doing my best to take advantage of it. I've already played golf twice this season, my first round was awsome, I played nine holes and shot seven over par (an incredible score for me), and yesterday I played a full eighteen but I unfourtunatly didn't play near as well. There are two courses close to me and I have always played at Sugar Isle but when I found myself with enough time to play last Friday they weren't open, so I played Lakeland for the first time. Lakeland is a significantly nicer course and the employees are very kind, however the improvement comes with a higher cost. It's not that Sugar Isle is a bad course, in fact the course is beutiful, but the clubhouse is run down, the carts are old, and the employees are a bit rude, however they allow carry on beer, so i supose they are still my prefered course to play. Anyway, I hope to play as often as I can afford and find the time for, who knows maybe I'll be the next Tiger!
    In my continuing effort to celebrate spring I went hiking today at nearby Kiser Lake. I took a load of photos and a few of them turned out pretty good, please check them out here. Well folks until next time take care and find some fun stuff to do.

        There isn't much to say, or rather i don't want to get into it. I've been working a lot lately, which is a good thing right now considering that many people don't have that option, and I've still found a little time to get some modeling done. There hasn't been much updateing to the site, but I am getting a little better about it. The weather has been miserably cold here and that has made work really difficult, but atleast it hasn't been snowing this week.
         We are celebrating my Grandma's 90th birthday this weekend!!! Well, we are supose to, unfourtunatly she went into the hospital yesterday with heart trouble, but she seems to be fine now, and hopefully she will be healthy enough for the party. She is such a wonderful person, and it is exciting that so many people are getting together to celebrate her.

        Here's my earnest attempt at doing regular updates. As I'm sure you can tell by your frequent and lengthy stays here that the site is growing slowly and surely. I've been trying to build up the modeling pages since this is what has been consuming much of my time. I'd like to get my modeling portfolio in order so I can make a sincere attempt at getting a modeling job. This website was started as a general portfolio of my work in 3D modeling, sculpture, and to let potential employers or customers learn a bit about me. I at one time even had my resume posted here, however out of fear of identity theft it has since been removed. In addition to it's original purpose I figured it would be a good place to share family photos and write a bit about what has been going on in my life. Make sure that you look all around for additional topic specific blogs, I assure you they'll be just as boring and poorly written as this one!
       A growing presence here will be my ideas portfolio. I decided that my other work was only half the fun, the direct product of ideas is one of my favorite aspects of the visual arts and design, but what about the rest of those ides? Should they be left to die? It is no fault of their own that they don't come to be, should they be left alone to fight for their fruition?  Nope! I'll give them a place of their own, let them wither here, at least they may be remembered. Anyway, you can learn more about my ideas here.

        I told you not to count on regular updates to this blog. It really isn’t as bad as it seems. I’ve been doing all kinds of updates to this site and doing some modeling. Of course the holidays took up a lot of time as well.
       We had a wonderful holiday season around here. We got to spend a lot of time with the families and a little time with friends, hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves as much as us. Of course Marin stole the show everywhere she went, as of course she should.
        In other big news, I’ve quit smoking again, and so far it’s going better than it ever has before. I’m using “Commit Lozenges” which seemed to have done the trick, my nicotine fits are minimal now, and my searing rage has subsided to a manageable level.
        Now that the website is mostly in order I’ll be making a sincere effort to keep this blog updated while I’m building content in other areas. In the mean time keep your eyes open for other exciting things to come.

    I'm finally getting this website together. I'll atempt to do regular updates to this blog, but I wouldn't count on it if I were you.
