I just feel like updating.

I have a four page post about the wedding Wendy wants to add to. I feel that should be my next post.

But I have not finished my part. And so I wait. And so I sit.

I would like to blog like The Ferret. Who writes something every day. I love his blog. It reminds me of who I want to be, but can't.

So, I have not updated for a while and it is my fault. I should use this like twitter and not worry so much about what comes next.

What has happened?

Moving stuff back to the basement getting ready to go back to Madrid.

Getting our dog Thor checked out so he can come to Madrid with us.

Moving the driveway from one side of the property to another.

Tons of landscaping.

Mowing my lawn.

Friends over.

Poker night.

Not enough running or working out.

Three week annivesary reunion tour. BBQ. Croquet. Friends hooking up. Girl talk (of which I am an expert.) UFC.

BJ Penn lost. Again. And I was surrounded by friends when it happened. The greatest natural born, arrogant, pissy, athlete the world has ever seen, with skin like leather and flexability like Gumby has once again squandered his abilities and lost when he could have won.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

Randy Coutute once again showed the world why MMA is greater than Boxing by submitting James Toney in the first round.

    You're bringing Thor!!!??? How wonderful, Jamie. I was having trouble imagining you without a dog...
    By the way, do you still have that leather tunic, and if so, would you be interested in selling it? Best wishes O' Married One ;-)

Army Magic

As requested. Army magic was a variant that the old "Team Quarterstaff" invented years ago and I published an article about it in Scrye. Army Magic: A Multi-Player Variant By Jamie C. Wakefield Axelrod Gunnarson glared out over his barbarous and supernatural army. The foul smelling Karplusan Yeti’s; the Sengir Vampires flying high above; the myriad wizards, clerics and monsters that made up his forces. How the Angels and the Elves held out for so long against him was vexing and inconceivable. He had long ago crushed Palladia-Mors and his Goblins and Dragons. Soon after that, he had defeated the nigh unstoppable Lord of Tresserhorn and his army of Merfolk, Doppelgangers, and Zombies. But still Asmira and her Angels resisted him. If only he could lure them away from her accused Castle, he would have them! But as long as she and her followers remained behind the mystic walls there was little his army could do. For now he would have to wait, and plan. There are many variations fo...

Greed and the One Percenters

It is baffling, and sad, to me that part of the world thinks that profit > all, even at the expense of human dignity.  It gnaws at me every day when I go to a chain gas station or a McDonalds or any other place where I know corporate profits are > everything else in the world. Why can't McDonald's pays its workers more? We all know they can. We all can pay a dime more for a Big Mac. It's like this everywhere. In the UFC, Dana White was brilliant at bringing the sport to mainstream America and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the Fertitta brothers, who were already billionaires. And even though they could pay their fighters more, they don't. The last payroll for the last event was under a million dollars. The UFC is like the NFL of fighting. The number one organization. Some of the guys that make it there get paid 2k to fight. Meanwhile, Dana and the brothers are gambling away millions at the tables in Vegas.   Yes, I know how the right will respo...

Magic

Wendy and I have just had a long talk. I am getting back into Magic and making a run for the title. My goal this time isn't going to be to get back on the Pro Tour, but to win a Pro Tour. Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II will be available in early June. The reason for this is I need to proof the physical copy of the book that is sent to my house in Vermont and we will be there June 2nd. I will be playing Magic Online until we go home then playing physically anywhere I can find a game while there. When we return to Spain in September I will be playing at a local shop a half kilometer away and writing about playing Spanish Magic with a limited vocabulary.
