Well Its been a number of years. I Just decided to log in and check this place out. -Feeling kind of nostalgic lately and missing old friends on here. As for me, I'm still around and kicking. Many things have changed over the years and infact I'm looking to begin a new chapter in life with the purchase of a new house. I can still be found online (@wulfsige79 on twitter, and wulfsige79 on telegram)

Not sure when the next time I'll be posting here will be but I'm playing around with the idea of using this platform to document and discuss my new home automation and projects adventure. Time till tell.

Miss you all,

-=Wulf=-

I've been up in arms on whither I should publicly write about this or not, but being that this is a life event, I figured I should share with the people I know which may have an interest.

Growing up, while in grade school I was very fortunate to have someone who I considered to be "My best friend" Looking back, we had an even closer friendship than I realized at the time (more like a brother), but being young sometimes you don't appreciate things the way you should. I had the Honor of knowing this person, Who from this point on I'll call KT for around four years before moving from Minneapolis MN to Grand Rapids MN. -About 170 miles away. Nothing earth shattering but being young, and not having internet the way people really do now, we kinda lost touch. Phone calls were long distance. The few times I came back to the cities, Mom brought me to see him, and in fact he even spent the night where we were staying while visiting. It was good to see my friend :) -Well, not long after we were up to visit again, the number I had for him didn't work anymore. I'm not sure what my mom did to find out, but she found that they had moved. I had no way to contact him anymore. From that point on I had never not thought about him, where he might be, what he's doing, etc. Fast forward a handful of years. I'm still searching for him every once in a while. We had made a pact that we would always look out for each other and somehow find each other if we ever lost contact. (young kids, heh) I always wondered if he thought about me or not. I thought of him. In fact, I had many restless nights sometimes thinking of him. Many times I thought that maybe I was taking a promise made between a couple of twelve year old kids too seriously. Either way I continued to look. I knew someday I would find him and somehow get back in touch, reminisce about the old days and the stuff we use to do as kids. Sometimes I would get so excited I couldn't stand not knowing where he was. I just simply couldn't wait. Fast forward 23 years and some change. All the way to yesterday. I couldn't sleep again. Up almost all night thinking of this, that, and the other. I finally decided to do another search. Last name shows a ton of people. First name, nothing. -except, I found a name that matched his brother's name. Upon digging more I found that it was very likely his brother! Everything was matching up! This was unprecedented! My first solid hit! -I found his brother's Facebook page and actually found a folder called old pics, and guess who's in there! My friend! -At least it looks like him, but older than I remember! --Then my heart Sank. Its literately like I got punched in the chest. Upon reading the comments: "Our fallen brother man u were taken from us to early, may you be waiting on the beaches of heaven for us when we get there!!!!!!!" was the one in particular that caught me. To date, I contacted someone who commented, and have confirmed 100% that it is in fact KT. I don't have details on what happened, and I hope they reply back. It appears that he never made it though High School. A young death.  Still, as I type this I feel completely blindsided. For years I have looked forward to being reunited but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Yet again I find myself in the position to where I have many unspoken words that can't be conveyed to the person that they are intended.  I can't tell you how much I hate this feeling.

If you made it thus far, Thanks for the time :)  I'm alright, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry for a while that night. Its not often at all that I cry, but this was just too much this time. I'll likely make this private, or at least "friend protect" the entry later on. -I just have it public now since I had a handful of people interested in what was going on after I made a remark about this on twitter, which I can't thank enough *hugs* -I realize many people don't have LJ anymore so for now, public entry is public.

Alright, so its update time!

As seems to be the norm, I just don't update weekly like I use to. I probably should, but I don't.  With that said, some of the stuff going on with me lately:
(Some of this might be redundant, so I apologize if you've seen it elsewhere)

Work has been good and reliable. -I no longer really stress out about random production events like I use to. While I defiantly have no issues managing events and tours, the new work and change of pace has been nice. I didn't realize how stressful managing multiple events at any single given time really was. The very last event I have done officially for LPI was the Chrysler shoot (commercial) as Lighting effects director -right under the DP (Director of photography) (I shot some behind the scenes video if you anybody is interested. it can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TepCJpVj72A)  Anyway, I miss the excitement sometimes but I've been surviving just fine all the same, haha! -I probably need to find some small pet projects/events to get involved with since that scene really is my passion and I do miss it at times. -Production will always be in my heart.

As for my sound/production/ business... I haven't been marketing it AT ALL. I really feel that I need to get a few things in order to properly run it as a serious business. Once all the internal alignment is complete I'll likely do a few "freebie" events to ensure everything is up to par before trying to bid on bigger events.  In fact, this weekend I need to take a trip down to IL and run Catfish Days in Wilmington IL. This year however I will not be supplying my gear. This is partly because of a foot injury I have, and partly because I am trying to phase out my relationship it LPI. It just happens that this time they twisted my arm and want me solely as a consultant to run the event and ensure everything goes as planed. -I have a good relationship with the city and Mayor, as such they were ultimately the ones that requested I head up the project for this year. Its kind of nice because none of my gear is there. I'm just giving people direction. It pays pretty good too. For the weekend I'll be gone it will pay more than I make in a week and my day job, and I'm taking PTO at the day job so that's hard to pass up!

Other stuff. Well, my truck shitcaned its transmission the beginning part of this year, so I needed a new one... Sucks, but what do ya do. Also for the past, jeez, almost year I've been dealing with a case of  Plantar Fasciitis in the heel of my foot. (wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis) I finally gotten tired of it so I took steps to try and get rid of it and start the healing process. -Basically it involved a night splint, some super support insoles, and a new spiffy pair of Nike Shoes to put insoles into.  -Turns out that the DC and Osiris skate shoes I often wear have been inhibiting the damn thing from healing properly. I'm also doing some of the stretch exercises listed in the Wiki. Suffice to say, this entire weekend I haven't been in pain whatsoever. Its great! I'm hoping I can get this healed by MFF time because I REALLY wanna suit but my current feetpaws (on both suites) don't really have the support I need to not be in pain. So unless I make new feets (or have someone make them) I'm kinda SOL :P -But hopefully by then this can get turned around, so I don't think it'll be an issue. So lesson learn't: Don't even tear or rip your Planter Fascia. Recovery is long, and it HURTS! -Not only that but because I haven't been active, I've gained weight I'd like to get back off.

Kody (my puppy) has been doing really well now too! -For a while he was having some serious issues with his hind legs, and as it turns out the "First Sheld Trio" he was using to repel ticks and fleas was interfering with his nervous system. Since being taken off the medication, he's slowly getting a lot better! -infact, his 1st birthday was in June -Heres a pic! (http://24.media.tumblr.com/61d5ef1091ac25c0f070a8e4b99126b4/tumblr_mpc52d3Opu1riqajvo1_1280.jpg)

More pics of him can be seen at http://Kodydahusky.tumblr.com

Other than those few bad things, things have been easy going :)  Hope everyone else is doing well! I'll try and write more, more often:P

Signing off for now!

So its been a while since I've really written an update on Kody.  His blog is still up and updated fairly often (or as often as I can) but I have something I wanna share on here that involves trying to trick Kody with my fursuit ;)

The basic idea was this:

Kody was up north with my Mom and Aunt. Well, I decided to go up to the good `ol cabin for the weekend (its been about three weeks since I've seen Kody at this point) Anyway, I told them I was coming and they made sure not to be there. I snuck in, setup some cameras, put my fursuit head and hands on (in hope to trick Kody into not knowing it was me) and just stayed there until they came home. I figured that He'd just casually find me and not know what to make of the situation, finding a giant plushy like thing in the computer room :P  Weeeeell. It didn't quite go like that. -Turns out Kody could be a drug sniffing dog, haha.

Without wasting more time, I'll just let you guys watch and see what happened. I had to abort the video and cut it short, you'll see why :P


Cross posted to LJ, Furaffinity, Twitter, wherever else I am... Sorry if you see this twice ;)

Wow.. So it's been forever since I've posted.. It's been so long that people started to email me to see if I was okay. -sorry about that! -though its humbling to know people still think of me from time to time <3

I haven't really been up to much lately, really. I did incur one major life change while away from posting though, and that is my new pup, Kody! -I started a tumblr account for him to document his growing up and life :3 -it can be found at KodyDaHusky.tumblr.com I named him after old Cody since he seems to kind of follow in his footsteps in regards to his manors :P Currently he is 3 months old and is a pretty cool dog.  He know sit, leave it, high five, handshake, patty cake, and down. He's learning so very fast... It's just. Unreal.  But anyway, yeah, check out the link above. It has more pics of him and will be updated on a somewhat often basis since I can post stuff on the fly when working with him.  

In other, more personal news, as most people know on here I've pretty much fell back into my old reclusive ways. Life has been pretty boring and empty as of late. I often find myself sitting alone asking myself "what the hell am I doing" which the answer is pretty much the same as its always been, nothing. :P I've been thinking about joining the local "singles" club thing here in the cities to try and meet someone but have been very hesitant of actually following though with it even though a few times I've found myself in the parking lot before a few of the events. I'm not sure if I'll ever follow through or not but I suppose time will tell.

Anyway, that's all I got for now! -later! 

So who all saw the eclipse the other day? -Luckily I was able to! Unfortunately the spot I picked turned out to not be so great and by the time I found a new spot (due to the sun setting) I was able to shoot this picture:


It turned out kinda cool, though I really wish I would of been able to get a shot when it was at its peak!  I think the next eclipse is set to be in 11 years so not exactly a once in a lifetime event, but still, hehe.

Also, Thanks everyone who wished me well on my Bday :)  -As many of you know I pretty much hate birthdays and try to hide out as best I can during them, but the sentiment is much appreciated!  

I also just realized that I haven't posted anything since Corecon. I honestly don't know how to express how awesome corecon was. It was three days (and not not at the con) hanging out and surrounded with awesome friends. -Group shot below :3
