Hey there. Wow... what a month it's been! I started off this month with a project in mind: get that garage all sorted out and organized. I made mention how the garage is in total shambles! How can it not be? With 4 active kids constantly going in and out and placing their stuff all over the place it's a definitely a challenge to keep it all in order. I used the Brother P Touch Labeler as my guide to get things in order. Everything from bins to shelves were laveled and organized. In the end, organization is a lot better and a lot easier. It's still not 100% where I would like it be, but I think that's because it's just going to take the family some time to getting used to putting things where they belong! lol So, here are some of my thoughts of the Brother P Touch Labeler!

A Trip to Aruba Would Be Perfect for Our HoneyMoon
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Aruba Tourism Authority for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey there. I owe my wife a honeymoon getaway. When we got married, we both worked but we didn't make to much money. I couldn't afford to get her the wedding ring that she deserved, I couldn't get her the lavish wedding ceremony that she deserved, and I couldn't get her the honeymoon getaway that she deserved. Next year, it will be our 10 year anniversary and I plan on making up for some of those things. We're better off financialy, now, than we were before and we are we plan to renew our vows and have a wedding ceremony with friends and family. I also want to plan that honeymoon trip that we didn't get to enjoy the first time around. We orignally had our heart set on a Hawaiian honeymoon but a trip to Aruba sounds pretty tempting right now!
I love the scenic views that Aruba has to offer! |

I Need Tips for Camping Trips
Hey there. Would you believe that I have never gone camping before? Like... EVER! I didn't go on camping trips with school mates, I didn't go to summer camp as a child, I haven't even gone as an adult! That's about to change, though. The wife and I have been talking about taking the family on a camping trip. There are plenty of camping grounds in Southern California and I think it's time for me and the family to get reaquianted with the great outdoors. I love being outside and being able to sleep under the stars in tents sounds like a great time to me. The problem? I've never been to any overnight camps so I'm going to need a little bit of help.

Happy Birthday Metallman!
Hey there. Today is my birthday! After doing the math, I discovered that today I turn 31. lol Yeah, I don't really keep track of how old I am. I don't see a need for it. My wife is usually the one that tells me, and others, how old I am. Anyways, I've been away from the blogging scene for about 2 weeks now. I needed to clear my head for a bit. I have many thoughts and ideas that I want to implement in my life and career and need to sort that out before I can focus on my writing. I think I've gotten it straightend out now.

Looking for Cheap Auto Insurance
Hey there. You've all seen the commercials for auto insurance. Some of them are funny and others are pretty straight forward and to the point. I have a friend that used to work in the auto insurance field and she would give it to me straight. What was the best coverage for the lowest price. Easy and simple. She no longer works in that field and I found myself needing to find a new auto insurance policy when I noticed that my monthly premium was slowly increasing. I don't know if maybe the policies of said company changed or what, but when your payments jump from $50 to $75, there was time for a change. It would have been great if I would have been able to find cheap auto insurance quotes all in a single spot as opposed to jumping all over the place.

Metallman Update: Events, Games, GenCon, and More
Hey there. It's been awhile since I last had a post. I'm sorry, guys. I haven't really been feeling well and I couldn't muster the energy to sit and write. No worries though! I'm back and at full strength and wanted to give you guys a heads up on what's to come. A few game reviews are coming, in written and podcast form, a few events that I'll be covering, and I received a press pass for a gaming convention! How awesome is that?! Ok... so let's get into the details. Something tells me this is going to be a lengthy post!

When it Rains, it Pours
Hey there. I'm one upbeat guy. For those of you that know me on a more personal level, you know that it can be pretty tough to bring me down. Despite a lot of negativity and bad luck, I tend to pick up the pieces and pull forward with optimism. But something happened yesterday. A recent string of unfornate events have damaged my armor and may finally be getting to me. I won't go into much details but I will say that my vehicle was missing after work. Yup.... Gone. Living in Los Angeles, something to get around on is a MUST. I was upset, I was frustrated, I was angry, but in the end, I was down. Not so much because of this one instance, but more because of what my daughter said to my wife after I told them the news:

Happy Valentine's Day, My Love
Hey there. In years past, I've written a small something for my wife on my blog. This time around, I decided to try something different. I've been wanting to do video posts and this may be the one to jump start that idea. Babe... this is for you. =o*

Donating to Locks of Love
Hey there. About 15 years or so, when I was in Jr. High School, I decided that I was going to let my hair grow out. Once the hair grew out, I was one of those guys with long hair. It was most in a pony tail or "bunny tail" as some of my band mates would call it, and I rocked that style for years at a time. When I graduated high school in the year 2000, I decided that it was time to start the new millenium with a different hair style. At that point, I haven't had a hair cut in years so it felt odd going into a barber/hair salon to get it cut off. While in the chair, I remember the woman complimenting me on my hair (soft, long, beautiful, etc. etc.) and that I should seriously consider donating it. Donating my hair... now there's an idea. I asked about what organizations I can donate to and she promptly stated that if I wanted to, they can donate my hair for me to Locks of Love. I wasn't all that familiar with the organization so I asked questions. What do they do? Who do they benefit? Is the organization reputable? Once she explained it to me, my mind was made up. I was donating my hair to Locks of Love.

Mud Factor 5K Obstacle Course
Hey there. The year of fitness continues! I came out of the Gladiator Rock'n Run a little bruised up and sore as hell but felt extremely good and proud of myself. Now, the next challenge awaits! The Mud Factor 5K Obstacle course! Only this time, the wife will also participate. It's going to be her first mud run so I'm making sure that she'll be ready to handle the course and I'll help her where I can. I can't wait for this one to go down! The only problem??? It's in San Bernadino... That's about an hour drive away from Los Angeles. I don't mind driving... but when I know it's a long trip I turn into a little kid and wonder when we'll get there. lol Anyways, I'm looking forward to going out there and earning my third medal of the year! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Any of you Southern California friends going to be at the Mud Factor mud run? Time to turn up the workouts to 11 and get ready for another mud filled day of obstacles!!! Later!

Gladiator Rock'n Run is Less Than a 2 Weeks Away
I'd be really proud of myself if I can anywhere close to the top 10! |
When training for an event, do you train up until the event or do you give yourself a few days of down time? With the run just 9 days away, I'm curious to know which training method would work best. Later!
