Facebook | Alora Lanzillottas Photos – New York City part 2

Proof I was in New York for the YouTube awards. Thanks for posting those photos Alora! (Part of the Harry Potter Puppet gang). It looks like I’m farting or something, but I’m trying to get on a big bouncy ball.

I’m happy to announce that “The Guild – Episode 9: Owning Bladezz” is now posted!

Please watch, rate and favorite! And check out the new website at www.watchtheguild.com for any future Guild updates! (Me and Edgar did it, the new site pretty much owns )

I’ve been working pretty madly on a new blog skin. I have no idea if it’s an improvement, but it’s been a really fun OCD focus for the past few days. I’m going out of town this weekend for the first time in like 6 months for a LEISURE trip (no internet! no cell phone! Gasp!!!) When I get back I hope it gets me off the procrastination pot and onto the writing pot. I’ve had a to-do list next to my computer for a month, and it has a lot of coffee rings and tortilla chip flakes on it, but not a lot of checkmarks. BUT, I have been reading pretty voraciously this week, escapism at it’s finest, so I have some book reviews to post before I leave Friday.

And thank you again to all of you for your kind posts about my Grandfather. It got me through a tough week and meant a lot to me

I’ve had a hard time keeping up with the online world this week because my Grandpa passed away on Monday and it’s been a hard thing to deal with.  He had stomach cancer and had been fighting it for a while, but his body could not fight it any longer.   He was a wonderful man, and to the last day was still thinking about his true passion in life: Physics.

The sad part is that he never saw his life’s work finished (the tests on his inventions are still being done, I believe he held on as long as he could just to try to see the results) but the important thing is that he found his muse and lived for it every day of his life.  I guess that’s all we can hope for, to find our passion, and value our family.   It’s made me appreciate the people in my life who are close to me, and realize we have a finite time here, and to make the most of it.  I wasn’t going to post about it because it’s so personal, but if it makes someone call their grandpa and tell them they love him, this post was worth it. 

I did an interview with Dynamic Forces here about various things, wanted to spread the word!
