I think it's pretty neat but I've always been interested in the space stuff.]]> http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/03/space_and_stuff.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/03/space_and_stuff.html Fri, 10 Mar 2006 17:58:07 -0600 James Blunt I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with James Blunt and his mad skillz. I got home wee bit early today and Cheryl was watching Oprah and he was on it as a special guest or whatever. I really enjoyed his last song he did and his performance was REALLLY excellent. http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/03/james_blunt.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/03/james_blunt.html Wed, 08 Mar 2006 20:52:22 -0600 NPR NPR(National Public Radio). I actually like hearing the news and it's pretty cool to be somewhat aware of all the crap going on in our world. We watched the Oscars the other night and I was seriously bummed. I usually enjoy watching them a lot because there is most often a film in the mix that I care about and root for. Unfortunately, this year was a different story. While I can't say I wouldn't like some of the movies if I had seen them, I was completely unfamiliar with hardly any of the movies. I did enjoy just watching the awards but it just didn't seem the same without a personal favorite in the mix. Maybe next year.....!]]> http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/03/npr.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/03/npr.html Wed, 08 Mar 2006 20:45:05 -0600 Hey all Sorry I haven't blogged in a while (not that anyone gives a crap). I just haven't had much cool stuff happen to me recently. We did finally sign the lease for renting this Awesome house we were hoping to get into. We almost lost it because we couldn't get our tax returns due to a $30 we still owe the IRS. Luckily my brother called me to talk and offered to loan me the $500 for the down payment. I was hella surprised, but really touched that my little brother would help me out like that. I guess I'm just getting jadded in my old age and it's getting harder to see or expect good in people. It's pretty hard when it seems like everyone is trying to screw you or whatever. Anyway, the house is friggen' nice. On a different subject, I got invited to play in a super hero RPG with some of the SCA people I know in town. My hero is a Tank type hero with rock type powers named Cometose (clever name huh,lol!) http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/02/hey_all.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/02/hey_all.html Sat, 11 Feb 2006 19:22:11 -0600 Silk Road Silk Road. Also I have finally gotten enough of my friends interested in playing the Serenity RPG. We will be starting that pretty soon. it all happened when Cheryl and I went over and had a night of chillen' with my friend Ty and his wife. We watched Dukes of Hazzard movie (better than i thought but glad I waited for dvd) and Serenity. Ty like totally flipped over the Serenity bitcheness. And now he is the driving force in getting our other friends off their asses and away from their dumb shit to do something fun. I am Uber jazzed!!!!!!!]]> http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/01/silk_road.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/01/silk_road.html Wed, 11 Jan 2006 20:19:53 -0600 Castly Goodness Happy New Year everyone! Today Cheryl and I watched a really cool show on American castles. It had a thing on several modern replica type castle homes from around the country. It was totally like drool city. I have always thought that if I had huge resouces I would build a replica castle type home. It ahs always ben one of those unrealistic dreams of mine. Oh well...... On an other subject Cheryl and I have now seen the Narnia movie twice. It is Exceptionally well done. It is almost totally like how I saw it when I read the books so many years ago. I LOVED it!!! If you haven't seen it yet I would highly recomend it. http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/01/castly_goodness.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2006/01/castly_goodness.html Sun, 01 Jan 2006 15:12:35 -0600 Snow Driving Is it just me or is the average american a fricken' retard when it comes to driving in the snow? Recently we have been having little episodes of snow and everytime everyone feels they need to either drive like a maniac and cut you off or drive slower than molasses. AAAAAAAAAAAArgh. http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/12/snow_driving.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/12/snow_driving.html Tue, 06 Dec 2005 18:39:52 -0600 Just bitching How come every time my friends want to do something they always want me to come to there house or whatever where I'm the one who has to fucking get in the car and do all the damn driving. Sunday I told a friend that I would help run him thru the rules of my friday night game bacause he was going to join. Well Sunday comes and the jackass thinks I should come over to his house. Keep in mind that this would involve me packing up a large bag of books and whatnot. All his sorry ass had to bring was himself and maybe a few dice. OK, now I feel better! Thanks for listening. http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/11/just_bitching.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/11/just_bitching.html Tue, 15 Nov 2005 18:45:43 -0600 Fun Ass Jedi Test Sith Assassin
You scored 33 variable 1 and 24 variable 2! Secretive and deceptive...You are a Sith Assassin. You are masters of secrecy, unable to be seen by your enemies at will. You no longer are ruled by a master, and perhaps are a master all your own. Assassins are a balance between power in the force, and strength with a lightsaber. Although you may never be able to take on some of the strongest enemies in a one-on-one battle, you can wait for them in the shadows and strike at them when they least expect it....You evil sneaky bastards.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 61% on Force Power

You scored higher than 80% on LSP DSP

"Just push yourself a bit more and you can make it to be a light Jedi my friend! Remember to always keep your cool, and try to help others in need. By the looks of it you always wish to help people but would want to be left alone when you're down in the dumps and wouldn't want to be bothered."

I was unsure what was going on when I went to our guild site and found out that our guild had merged w/ another guild. I decided to go ahead and join the "new" merged guild and it seems like it may go well. On other gaming fronts I found the new Serenity RPG. It is freaking awesome for info from the movie and has deckplans for Serenity which is ultra cool. That's about all I got going right now.]]> http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/10/games.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/10/games.html Wed, 12 Oct 2005 16:28:59 -0600 Erikcon 1 Well I'm at the end of my vacation, hella bummer. I have to say that I have some incredibly bitchen' friends. I have been planning to go out to Colorado for quite some time and go to gaming convention with some of my friends but this year they put the convention on Labor day weekend and everyone had plans. So what do my friends do? They plan a ruttin' con just for me. We played all sorts of games; Star Wars RPG, LOTR RPG, Munchkin card game, Attack! board game, Hackmaster RPG. I have to say I haven't had that much fun in along time. Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge game geek, esp. Role Playing Games and out here in Lincoln none of my friends really give a crap about RPG's so any chance I get to play I'm all about taking. Thanks a bunch Titus and the gang in Colorado, I really appreciate it!!!!! http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/10/erikcon_1.html http://www.nelsonfamily.org/erik/archives/2005/10/erikcon_1.html Wed, 05 Oct 2005 15:36:23 -0600 A new beginning As my first blog I would like to say.....
