My Addiction

Well here is my first blog. I haven't jumped on the band wagon well because it's a band wagon. And I don't think I'll be able to keep it regularly updated, but I thought I would get on here and just let it flow.

All in all life is good. Currently I am working some crazy hours, 50-60. Maybe not that bad for some, and maybe even normal for some. But my job doesn't usually require more than 40-45 hours per week. But it's a new program that we are getting off the ground and it's requiring a lot. The result of this is a decrease in my time for the good things in life. Time with my family, hobbies, house work, and of course gaming. So how do I cope...

With my addiction to making sigs for all my OMM peeps! It's like therapy or crack to sit down and work out a sig for my pals. I think I have made over 30 of these things now. And I don't mind at all. I love playing around with Photoshop and always like a challenge to do something different than I have done before. At times I have even chose to do that over gaming mostly because my brain hurts and I am not sure I could contribute on any level even conversationally after I have banged out a 12-16 hour day. But just putting on some of my favorite tunes and working through the process of creating a sig is my therapy. Music tastes in that moment range from jazz (Diana Krall, Chris Botti) to rock (311, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, Coldplay) to some old skool favorites like Beastie Boys.

I miss my OMM peeps. Other than posting, I haven't been able to game with them. I miss taking Lonewolf's money in Texas Hold Em, being sniped by CMA for the 10th time, taking MTK down in COD using the "anti-aircraft" gun, playin' SWAT Potato with RaginBull, and the random conversations of an UNO game with Castle, Dan, and Skeyewalker. Hopefully things will balance out in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, my sig therapy will get me through. I want to thank all my OMM peeps who have given me the chance to contribute and become apart of a great community of people. These sigs aren't just my therapy but my way of capturing the in a sig my respect and feelings about the great group we have.

So here are all the sigs that I have created so far along with some wallpapers and web headers. Enjoy!

Moved sigs to Feb 6th Blog.

So... I miss playing with Stryker, since he's easy to beat in Madden. For the record, however, I do NOT miss the damn AA Gun :) Love the sigs and wallpapers though, great work!

those are some pretty sweet graphics. I wonder what it would take for you to make one for me? I can do my own, but I'm never happy with anything I do for myself. Let me know what I need to provide.

Thanks for all the great PS work you do Stryker! It's great having you in our little family within the community. OMM wouldn't be the same without you, even if you didn't do our sigs. Don't stop though, people can turn on you quick! :lol:

Gotta luv the Beastie Boys! Most people think old skool is Will Smith. I still rock Licensed to Ill on occasion!
