Random Musings...

Been a while since I posted here, so here is my monthly installment.

1) I've caught the painting bug. which is a very good thing. Been far too long since I've made any serious progress with my painting hobby. You can see what I've been up to over in my three army project logs.

2) The baseball season started today. I'll be a Red Sox homer and say they are the team to beat this year. They have solid pitching both starters and bullpen and they are deeeeeep, with 7 starters and 4 guys that could be closers on other teams. The lineup is solid 1-7...if 8 and 9 can have average years, the Sox will win it all again.

3) 40k is the game of choice at the moment. I've been spending my free listening to the guys over at 40k radio.com They have a weekly show that they talk for 2 hours about 40k.

4) This last weekend there was probably the biggest indy 40k convention Adepticon in Chicago.
While looking over some of the images I saw the most beautiful Eldar Army I have ever seen. I now have a goal. To some day paint as well as this guy.

That is all for now.

Hey Folks,

I got to roll some dice today. It was nice playing a very little bit down in the bullpen. However I was a little embarased that a grand total of 1 figure on the table was completely painted.

Something must be done about this.

So I went a little nuts, and made three new blogs. One for each 40k army that I have. I plan on updating these sites as i finish painting stuff...and keeping the Gamers Bullpen blog, for everything not related to those 3 armies. I added the new links over to the right.

Enjoy,

Just another reason John Elway is the greatest football player...ever.

I know it is the "slow" time of year for football. Never really talk much football, much more into Baseball. My favorite football player of all time is John Elway. In my opinion the greatest football player to ever play the game. He carried 3 teams to superbowls with a group of wide receivers that would barely make other clubs, only to lose the big game. Then when he finally got some help in the form of a running game, he goes on to win two. His receivers came up with a term called the "Elway Cross"...it's what they called the little cross shaped bruise the football left on them when Elway zipped a pass to them.

Anyway, I saw this article and had to share.

Years after retiring, he is still the man.

Spring is coming soon!

Sounds of Spring!

I also heard to day that Takashi Saito is going to wear #24 for the Sox this year.

When I got my Sox jersey with the #24 on it...it was for Dwight Evans, my favorite Red Sox of all time. Not for Manny. Kinda Happy the Sox didn't waste any time putting putting the number back into the rotation.
