About me: I have been in a lot of different lives, and so far, I like this one the best.
I have been in a few bands, done SouthEast Asian Martial Arts for around a decade, and make a living doing what I love.
I have been a bouncer, concert security, and personal security for porn stars.
But, I've settled down, am married to the best, and most beautiful, lady, and have good friends.
Who I'd like to meet: All of my online friends, but I'd love to spend more time with my favorite bands.
I'm good. Busy on a bunch of projects but having fun.
I'm not sure if I'll be at the BBQ. I'll probably be back in the US to shoot some more DVDs and do seminars but no confirmation yet. It'd be great if we could hook up then, it sucked that we didn't manage that this summer.
Certificates and training don't make a warrior. I judge a man by a very simple standard:Would I be willing to go through a door with him? With most so-called combative experts the answer is 'no.' This is a big issue when things are no longer fantasy, but live fire. Can I stake my life on him being there when it hits the fan? Terry Trahan is one of those people who I don't have to look to see if he's there. I don't give out certificates, but Terry is one of only two people who I say are qualified to represent what I teach.
Fall Donation Extravaganza! October 4th, 3-8pm at the Free Boutique (9635 W. Colfax in the Antique Mall)
....................
The Free Boutique has been dutifully curating our fall fashion and we are ready for the unveiling! Come to our fall premiere and browse the bijoux and bricolage of this season's theme: Deserted Palace.
But wait! This is a donation extravaganza, too! So, take a minute and rifle through your haute couture and haul the vestiges over to us. You will be richly rewarded for your donation with tea, pastries, wine, and the sweet sounds of DJ Magic Pony.
And there's more! To make the affair all the more worth your precious time, we're tacking on an art swap. To partake in the swap, bring art supplies or art pieces you wish to trade out, and we'll take care of the rest. Swap those watercolors you never took a shine to for a someone else's languishing india inks.
Never even heard of the Free Boutique? You are in for a treat! We are a fashion forward, donation based, used and vintage clothing store. What does that mean for you? It means you can choose to donate in exchange for the garments you take home, or you can waltz out the door without parting with a cent . . . free, get it?
I'm finished with A Demon Awaits , just waiting for cover art now.
Yesterday I scheduled an interview on a cable television show. I'll be on a local show in Framingham, MA in November and I hope to be at the Framingham BN soon after.
Now I need to figure out how to sound smart. I have hours to think about what my characters are going to say. Hopefully, I'll come up with something worth listening to.
It's nice to finally get out and see people again. I'm looking forward to touring and shaking hands in bookstores. Hope to see you in one soon.
Hey daddy! I'm back!! How are things? Is there someone I should go to if I want a butterfly knife? Is there a good place to get a long knife. I have a friend, and we are looking at some knives, and we have a few more that we want to get...
Please come dance your pants off and support the wonderful Free Boutique, Denver's only fashion-forward free store! This is the last dance party before Denver gets invaded by the DNC, let's make it count! We have a perfect lineup of amahzing dj's for your dancing enjoyment as well as a sunset over the ocean photo booth. There will be a dance off as well, winner receives a trophy, lets just hope there isn't an interpretive dance fight. Get $2 off if you dress to the theme!
