Second Wind charity walk - Sign up

Greetings one and all! This is a shout out to anyone in the wonderful State of Colorado who would like to join me for the charity walk here coming on the 20th. The 5k walk (3 miles).

http://www.swfmd.org/

I would live to have a good crowd come to the event and support the event. If y'll register early the bill is $30 but if you do it onsite it is $35. Not a big difference.

Suitors are welcome and actually encouraged so bring it on down. I'd also love to have those who are not in suit as well to join. The more support we get and for the event the better.

For those of you who will be driving here is the website where it is being held : http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/fair/

For those of you who register earily the registration group I created is: Helping Paws of Colorado (it was created on a whim. No disrespect to the group in canada)

( The schedule for the event: )
The plan: For those of you who arn't suitors to arrive at the fairgrounds before noon to register ($35). Those who are suitors I'd like those to arrive at my house (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Lakewood&state=co&address=1570+South+Arbutus+Place&zipcode=80228)
Or just show up to my house after 10am and be on your best behaivor cause this is my parents house. Only drinks will be served. Food will be free at the actual fare grounds.

Please RSVP with me or comment below so I can get an idea of who'd like to come.

The EF post and drawing update

( The EF meme emo-cut )

And these two don't need to be cut:

Artwork done by: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kittiara

BTW: when I am at EF I will not be checking FA, Lj and all of the IM's I usually am on.

Ask me anything MEME :) *stolen from Lace*

I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of new furs on FA and Lj, since I first joined. We have either met irl throughout my travels or just stumbled upon one another online.

So I figured it be cool to make a MEME that would allow us to get to know each other better. If anything, I want to give anyone the opportunity to get to know me better and ask me any questions they might have if they like.

So the rules are simple:

1) You can ask me anything, so don't be shy :). I am an open book. You can either post your questions here in the comments or PA me on FA or the Lj.

2) If you ask me a question, I might ask you one in return. Don't let that deter you. I don't bite ;)

So that's pretty much it. Let me know!

Calling all troops!

Fursuits, AC and a Rant

Greetings y'll!

Just to let everyone know that Ozzy has been sold as well as J. Frost.
Unless anyone one out there wants to offer me a pretty penny for what suits I have left..... *cricket sounds*.... I think not!

When it comes to AC I will mostly be busy during the day and hopefully some drinking at night along with suiting. NOW since I've gotten a new suit, Braille, one is more then welcome to come up and get some hugs and stuff like that but nothing naughty.

OH and if you see me wobbling around on the floor and I don't have a drink in my hand I'm not drunk! I just have a very bad case of vertigo. I do have medication for it but will only be taking it during the morning and sleeping.

*******************
Rant:

Ok people, I just don't get it. I love to shop and I really enjoy going to the mall and walking around. Now when guys go shopping we usually have a mission we need to complete, this past weekend was shopping for new bed set. I started searching at Bed Bath and Beyond then to Penny's, to Macy's, to Sears and a few other places in the middle. Now I found the perfect colors for my room but what pissed me off is that all the comfortors are covered in some kind of flower pattern. That just chaps my ass. I want to have a manly looking bet set and I can't cause every set I saw had this femanime touch. That is utter bullshit and it really pisses me off! Can't a guy have a manly bed set? NO! Luckly I was able to find a nice set with gray and black in it. Talk about a pain in the ass.

********************

Cheers!

Time for a suit update! (with pictures too)

Hey hey! Welcome one and all to this BORING thrusday.

I might as well get this out in the open. Y'll know I am going to sell Ozzy and eventually my white lion, J. Frost (MAYBE)

Here is a good picture of the J. Frost for y'll. Granted the head is about 4 years old but damn! He fits like a glove and is very plesent to wear. An easy suit mind you. Good vision and all that Jazz. Head is made by Scribble Fox and the reset of the body is done by Lacy. Lacy did a wonderful job on the body and it has a nice front zipper. The paws pads are blue as well as the claws. Hell even the feet are comphy.

Now being that I am doing this for memory purposes I might as well post the reset of them up as well, future suits that is.

Lord know how many suits I've got in the planning this year, most are commissions.

For the two suits that are currently in the making I present to you the character sheets. One is being made by Rarakie and that is my boarder collie by the name of Cash. And with head #3 as the chosen one. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rarakie

And for the second suit it is being made by Firestorm 6. Another person who has good talent for making suits. He is making me a rather interesting dog. He is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catahoula_Leopard_Dog which to me is a rather interesting pooch.

http://pics.livejournal.com/nevermint/pic/0001c3ph
http://pics.livejournal.com/nevermint/pic/0001d2hz

Looking closely at the pictures the dog is actually blind which is one reason I choose to have him done. I ain't dissing no blind people here but to me suiting is always a challenage to do and why not add another twist to it. So if I follow throught I will be blind folded while wearing him and will have a "Seeing Eye Human" to guide me around. I think that will be rather fun. Granted I won't be able to see a thing but one never knows. A rather dossile pooch and easily scared.

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/firestormsix/

And oddly enough it does not stop there, I still have more suits in the works but not till later in the year.
This next one is going to be made by Chilly Mouse, which she is rather cute.
Now this one is going to be my OMG why soo cute suit. He is a Blue Red Panda.

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/synchra/

What can I say? I like the redpanda and thanks to Synchra, she has made a character sheet of him.
Yes I know the eyes look creepy but I like them. One eye to see into the future and one eye to see into the past OR he can only see in black and white.
But ya know I think he is rather cute and is going to be Manda Panda's evil big brother.

So whats y'll think?

Spring cleaning!

Hey one and all! It is that time of year where one needs to clean our there closets, dust off that old clothing. In my case suits and put them on the open market! Every knows how much of a pain in the ass to do but well it has to be done.

OK so here we go, I've gathered up enough strenght to sell a few of my suits. I know the first one on the chopping block is Ozzy my beagle. I'm not sure how much I should sell him for but I've had him 3 1/2 years. And ya know I hate to say it but I've lost touch with his character. So I'd like to give someone the chance to bring him back to life. So who wants to do that for me?

Since I don't have an ebay account furbid is my best bet. So who wants him? Give me a good price and he will be yours.

Pics: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1233363/ on the right

So who wants him?

Oh my GAWD! Shoes

I know this is an odd post but damn I think Nike is supporting the furries.

GASP!

You mean to tell me that Nike made a shoe that is fuzzy? HELL YA!
I was walking around at Dillards and they were having a 50% sale on mens shoes, Ya go me.
So I stoped on in and on the discount rack I found the shoes. Hell even the Nike SWOOSH is furry.

And yes I will be sporting these shoes at FC for anyone who would like to take a look.
( So here we go behind the cut to show the awesomeness of the shoe )</div>

Tis the time of year for giving
Who this year would like to get a christmas card from me?

As you know with all others who have posted this, the comments will be screened for your protection as well.

My address will be under the cut as well, y'll please enjoy and do have a wonderful holiday and break!

( Cheers )

Ask me any question and I shal respond

Meme stolen from ..... YOUR MOM!

This is your chance to get to know me better.

Ask me a question about anything you want...love, life, hobbies, whatever. All answers will be posted in the comments section of this entry unless you leave me an email address and ask me to respond privately to the question. This is totally open, and pretty much everything is fair game.

Comments not screened. But don't let that discourage you!

The updates and stuff

Just posting a few updates and whatnots here on the interwebs.

It has now been a month since my 27th birthday and I had one hell of a time! Wonderful to have family and friends over. Got to meet my cousin’s new hubby along with my sisters new squeeze. Both very nice people.

There are times in our lives where it is hard to give up something that you hold dear to your heart. For me it was my first car. I finally donated it to charity. The Colorado Beagle Rescue.

Ya know I don't mind kissing people but when the other person has not brushed their teeth... it is like kissing last night’s dinner that has gone rotten. God damn people brush your TEETH! 2 to 3 minutes a night is not torcher! Make them teeth shine of whiteness and not brown or puke colors. You know who you are!

On a little side note I've made a wish list of a kick ass computer setup tho it costs a clean 4g.
https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=13289207
Water cooling to come later. Waiting on Thermaltake to release the water-cooling with the new Super tower special instead of separate or their new AC unit.

Nothing new on the suit updates other then I'm getting new paws from FireStormSix:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1635728/
They looks more dangerous and sharper then before. Totally looking forward to wearing them and poking and scritching people.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at MFF and FC here shortly. With money being tight for MFF doing a road trip down there with a group of 5 peeps. The more the better I always say.

Cons for next year: FC, AC and EF currently. Hopefully some money and better paying job will be coming in shortly if not then I beg for monies.

*begs* Please help me get to more cons or build my new PC. Hahaha I don't think anyone would do that for me anywho.

Anywho! Y'll have a nice weekend and a wonderful Halloween.

Cheers!

There is a Food GOD!

And this god's name is "Heart Attach Grill."

How would you like a burger like this:

And served to you by scantly clad nurses? 1/2 pound patties with fries made in pure lard with NO diet soda's and a pack of non-filtered smokes?

OH HELL THATS MY TYPE OF RESTURANT!

This is what I consider a 'man's grill.' Fuck the heathly foods and nasty chemicals that go with them, here is for all natural and

The posting and birthday!
Well I guess it is that time for my monthly posting.

Lets see what happened: EF was a blast and I got to try some interesting pain killers. A day before leaving I got my suit from LV, which I really do like. Odd thing is I got Jager just before EF as well.... I wonder if there is a trend building there. <.< >.>
Got some wonderful pictures of Jager and Tatonga together, yes yes rock! I will hopefully post some pictures of the two. Just a little reminder for those who go to EF, make sure you take plently of time off for the con because there are sooo many things to see there and make sure you do it after the con. Cause having a vacation after the con makes it seem like an extended con, totally worth it! I've got some wonderful pics from my trip that I'd like to share for y'll in a seperate posting.

Being single again = no more drama or hearing from other party. HOORAY!!!

Oh and a day I always love that comes around once a year: the birthday! For me it is the 23rd of September, a little under a week till it comes. For me I like being a simple guy and ya know a birthday card is all that I ask for. If anyone would like to send one, drop me a line or do that personal note in FA or Lj and I'll give you my address.

Cheers and have a wonderful HUMP day!
-minty-

A very nice artwork update
Greetings one and all!

I am happy to report today that my tickets for EF are being bought as we speak though my travel agent. It is amazying what a travel agent can do for you. Granted I'll be flying in on different dates but totally worth it. (mental note: need to let tahoe know about the changes.)

With all that said I am also happy to show off another piece of artwork by Eosfoxx! http://eosfoxx.livejournal.com/
I commishioned her a while ago to do some artwork of Jager and man did it turn out beautiful!

( Come take a look for your self )

Y'll let me know what you think about it. If your looking for some wonderful artwork, please check out Eosfoxx's Lj and ask her. And yes it is hand painted.

Cheers!
