I posted a few weeks ago saying I would be back regularly. Is a few weeks in between considered regularly? Probably not. Sorry. Truth is, life's been BUSY! Don't get me wrong, I want to be here, and I love to write. Time just hasn't been on my side. I'm getting married next year and that involves a ton of wedding planning. When I'm not at work, wedding business takes a lot of my free time away. However, I'm always thinking about things to include in this here blog. I've got plans and there in the works! So while the wheels in my noggin continue to turn I will just give you guys a quick update on what I've been up to.
Besides planning for the wedding, I've been very much into Marvel and DC related....everything. I've always been into superheroes and comics and the like, but lately I've been digging in even deeper. I think I'm trying to play catch up with a lot of what I missed in the last few years. I've been buying digital downloads of single issue comics on my ipad. Batman, Magneto (an awesome new regular series based on my favorite Marvel anti-hero), and few others. What I've enjoyed most though is buying trade paperbacks. I'm currently reading Deadpool: The Complete Collection Vol. 1. AMAZING STUFF.
I've also been watching a lot of comic based movies over again. I've seen all of them (except for Elektra...but does that really count, because it shouldn't). I bought Captain America: The Winter Soldier last week. Man, what I great film. I saw it in theaters and watched it twice in the last few days. It's just so good, and perfectly paced. Never gets dull. This made me think, I've got to do a list based on my favorite superhero movies. Maybe rank all of the ones I've seen and can remember. I just haven't decided if it will be just Marvel..or both Marvel and DC...and any other comic based movies not made by the big 2. I may have to watch some of them over again so it might not be posted for awhile. I've gotten some good feedback in the past for lists I've created so why stop now. I enjoy it and that's honestly what I really care about, haha.
One last thing on the superhero front; I've been playing this DC Deck Building card game with my fiancé. It's freakin' amazing! So much fun. There's the perfect amount of strategy involved, and the gameplay changes every time you play based on the cards you draw. There are other deck building games such as Marvel (my next purchase), Lord of the Rings, and even an Alien based one. They're plenty fun and I suggest if you are into board games or card games and you like any of those above mentioned themes you should give them a try.
As I said before, I've been busy planning my wedding. For those of you who know me personally you may find this interesting. So far this last weekend we've checked out three venues. Next weekend we will be checking out two more, and then three the weekend after that. It's actually been a lot of fun. It's definitely exciting to imagine where you might be standing when you say those sacred vows to the one you love. I honestly can't wait. We've waited long enough to get to this point! One of my groomsmen said something to me yesterday that really made me feel good. He complimented me on the initiative I've taken so far with the wedding planning. He stated that in most cases he's been aware of, the guys generally don't get too involved with the wedding planning and leave it all up to the ladies. I thought about that and soon realized that's been the experience I've had too with past weddings I was involved in. I felt pretty good after my future groomsmen said this to me. I mean, this is supposed to be a special day for both the man and woman (or man w/man or woman w/woman, whatever you're into...I don't care), so why wouldn't you want to be involved?! Even if you are fine with having a courthouse wedding and your spouse wants the whole big deal. Point is, if you truly love this person, you'll do whatever it takes to make them happy. If planning a beautiful wedding makes my fiancé happy, then I'm happy too. It's going to be an amazing day with amazing people. Why wouldn't I want to stay involved and make the most of it. Sure, it's maybe 5 hours of our lives (and trust me, I truly believe it's everything that happens after those 5 hours and for the rest of our lives that's important), but damn those 5 hours are going to be unforgettable if I can help it. And help it I will. From that point on we are in everything together, might as well get off to a good start. Until next time!
