Uncle Billy is Gone

My Uncle, William Stevens passed away peacefully today. He was the older brother of my dear mother Cyndi Waite and Husband to Nancy Stevens. He was a loving father of to grown and wonderful daughters. He owned his own electronic business and was a dedicated follower of Christ. He wrote books on the bible and held the spirit close to his heart. Uncle Bill loved to laugh and tell jokes. He was a Navy man who left a short kid only to come back a very tall man. I know his mother loved him as she told me so often when she was alive years ago. I wish that I could afford to go be with him in the end, but at least mom got to be there for him. For the last month, Cyndi has remained at his bed side to help him and Nancy.
He will be missed by all who he touched. I can't believe he is gone. I hope he has found the heaven he dreamed of. Good bye Uncle Bill.
Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA) is a three-day Japanese Animation and comics convention held annually in Atlanta, Georgia.
AWA 14 will be held September 19 - 21 2008, at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel and Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Georgia.
Since our first convention in 1995, AWA has become one of the most popular Japanese Animation conventions in the United States.
AWA has a wide variety of events including video room showings of Japanese cartoons from new releases and titles going back to the 1960's, a dealer's room with retailers who sell Japanese animation and manga related merchandise such as toys, videos, audio CD's and artwork, workshops, panel discussions on various topics including the current trends in Japan and how they will affect the United States, a costume contest where attendees dress up as their favorite anime or manga character, and scores of guests who have worked or currently are working in the industry.
Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to seeing you at the convention!
Greetings all! Check this out! From: Salvador Chali Saturday night, September 13, we'll be having a Zombie Pub Crawl here in Athens. At least Lawrenceville is not too far away; I grew up there. A few details are still in the air, but the basics are to congregate as a horde and begin hitting the bars at about 22:00. I'm working until 15:00 today.
Staging and prep start at 21:00 in the parking lot behind Tasty World off of S. Jackson street. I guess we'll finish makeup and costume work, then try to plan out a route. The horde mobilizes between 22:00 and 22:30.
I hope you can make it out here, or else have a great evening elsewhere;

Years ago i had a best friend named Danielle, she was a crazy blond with a big heart and great smile. I had a crush on her a long time. But when we were in highschool, a dumb ass dean Swab claimed we were satin warshippers and called our parents, my mom laughed at her on the phone and i was sent back to class. Danielle’s parents did not laugh, later i heard she was sent to a Cathlic school. I did not hear form my friend till ’92 when I found out she was still a great person living back in my hometown. I miss her everyday. I was thinking about her today and looked her up. She has been through so much it made me want to help. Her mom just passed away in May. I wish I would have known sooner. And her son, her brave boy is challened by Autism. Using some of her fathers political help, she has become one of the leading people out there trying to help families with children with Autism. I believe she is doing a great thing and I want you to check out some of the links I am listing below. Please read her story and help if you can. At least, spread the word.
(Any negative political comments posted to this blog will be deleted and the person band from my list.)

October is always a busy time for a troll like me, I scare people at Netherworld HH most of the week. I have a couple photo-projects and even a movie to bloody up. With all this and even a sever back injury, fixing my computer was put on the back burner along with my weekly RPG. Well, my computer is back up. going from about 500ram to 2000ram and a new more powerful harddrive. I have to play a bit of catch up, but the shoot starts again in November.
First off, Cindy of NC fame is back for a quicky.
The movie, " My *******'s Keeper" is on the back burner due to producer's wishes. But the scripts are being mailed out yesterday.
2 short commedy films will be shot instead I will post a Call when the scripts are done.
I may have room for a weekend shoot or too. Heath "Hair God" of Dresden Hair Studio has joyfully agreed to work with the crew. I have seen his work and he is great. He also has 2 qualities I like:
1)Fast, a shoot takes time and speed is a asset when planning a shoot.
2)Friendly, I dont want to work with devas of any kind. A shoot is no place for drama.
Some Netherspawn ladies have requested shoots and I have been planning June's(another Netherspawn lady) shoot for a year now. Stay tuned Thanks all.
