Hello fellow Teamliquidians!!
Wow its been a minute .... or 2 years.
I hope life has been treating you well in these crazy and scary times.
Last couple years have been filled with ups and downs and all around here. I do feel thankful my family and I are doing well despite the madness that is our world.
Notable things.
- Started and have finished building a Casita in the back yard for our daughter and her boyfriend to live in now that she has graduated as an OT. This was a huge task that took a year with the wife and I taking the General Contractor role and doing as much work as we could on our own.
-Daughter Grad from OT school with a Doctorate ! Son has Grad from HS and just finished his first semester of college at the UofA
- Gaming events I have done since last blog..
Bangkok dota2 in Dec 2024

Still being a slave at the bakery
James beard award winning bakery doing sourdough bread using 9 different locally grown wheat varietals. Random aside... I have never made more than 36k in a year ... ever and the last 10 years or so its been less than that by more than I care to say. For a hard worker that has excelled in all of my many jobs over the years its kind of embarrassing to admit... Though somehow Ive managed to raise two amazing kids and trap an amazing woman!!What else.. Dreams..... This blog has allowed me to realize one of my biggest dreams getting to bring balloon art to the gaming world and community. And Ive been neglectful of keeping it up to date I am sorry.
I still have the dream of doing this full time. Honestly been feeling stuck on how to make that happen. Live events are so important building community ties and bonding in person is such a healthy and happy thing. It fills me and everyone I get the pleasure of talking to with such joy and hope its beyond words. Maybe TL needs a fulltime event guy who will help set up and manage booths at events and make balloons and tell everyone about what started the greatest Esports team in history... Community !!
This month is 2 years of no longer smoking pot.. Im pretty proud of that. Nothing wrong with it in my mind other than my abuse of it for over 30 years.
Had a scare the other day wife took me to the ER (she thought I might be having Cardiac issues) EKG, Chest xrays, Cat Scan blood work and all seems to be fine. With that scare I have decided to start going to the gym with my wife as well as making some healthier lifestyle changes. So that's exciting
How have you all been?
I hope to see you all sometime down this road...
2026 events so far are just 2 one confirmed the other not
