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.

So let me give you a few updates since I've been gone. The podcast is still up and running, but Brian and I haven't had a chance to record. Brian is out and about traveling this great country of ours but he is planning on carving out time here and there for a recording. Please bare with us since his schedule is kind of erratic due to his travels.  I'm also trying to raise funds for the site to provide even more giveaways.  I plan on giving more than just games and movies.  I'm considering other gaming related stuffs such as art books, toys, and other gaming memorabilia.  I'm still working on securing funds for those, though, so until that happens, we'll stay the course of what I'm doing now.

I've also been doing a little bit of voice over work this past week or so. I read a manuscript and recorded it for a client. Nothing to fancy but I'm hoping that it will open doors for future gigs. I love the voice over stuff. It's pretty damn cool and it's even better for me since I love to make goofy voices. The goal is land a video game or cartoon gig. I know it's high hopes but I would LOVE to see my name in the credits one day.

As for writing, I'm getting back into more family and gaming articles. I have a few that are already scheduled to be posted in the next day or so. I'm also planning on being more active on Dragonblogger.com. I've already committed to an article a week and I'll be sharing those articles here so you guys can check them out.

Lastly, today is my birthday! Whoo hoo! TAURUS RULES! Sorry... I lost control of myself there for a sec. lol  Anyways, I wanted to do something a little different this time around.  I created a fundrazr for all of you who would like to take part in saying happy birthday AND help fund giveaways on the site.  For EVERYONE that "buys a beer" for me on my birthday, I will post a picture with said beer thanking them in a future post and on Facebook.  Sounds like fun, no?  This way, those that contribute will get a shout out (and a link, if available) and I get to celebrate with you and raise funds for site.  Hopefully, this will have a good turn out.  Please use the widget below and buy Metallman a beer!  Thank you friends!  Later!
