Spock!
Warms the heart to see old friends again. :)
I have high hopes for this movie. Canon biblethumpers can take a walk for all i care. This just screams great star trek to me. Action adventure with a great story all wrapped up nicely.

Another year
Holidays are coming up soon. Couple of days and it will be thanksgiving again here in the ol USA. Another year without alex.....and dad and now without mom to. I guess i shouldn't feel sad but it serves to remind me how small my family has gotten in the last couple of years. First dad passed. Then alex was taken from us. Then mom went to join her two men.
A lot of people tell me i have a good positive outlook on life. That i always try to see the best in every situation. I agree with that. I do tend to be mr happy more often then not. I've always thought that being positive and trying to make the best out of any situation is better then slowly killing yourself with sadness and misery. I have a great wife that i love dearly now. I have a job that pays me well. I'm going to back to school in january to finish one of the degrees i never completed. I'm in better health then the last five years of my life. I have some really good friends around my home town here and a whole lot more out there in the world that i met here online.
It's been a beautiful ride so far. I can't wait to see what's in store for me. :)
Keep on Trekkin

Bravo Fleet
You ask you PM you email so here is my explanation.
Bravo Fleet is not a fun place to be anymore. To many people concerned about so much shit that means absolutely nothing. The group is caught up with a million rules and regulations and red tape to do anything. I personally believe only a small handful of people on the BFA actually know read and follow the overly complicated list of rules they have. Some of you guys on the BFA are great if there's any hope for BF it rests with you and i wish you good luck.
I find the leadership lacking in every way imaginable. The BFCO and XO are the biggest joke i've ever seen. Leaders they are not. It's the number one reason i gave the FECO'ship back to Dan. I didn't want to have to deal with the two of them. I have zero faith in there ability to do anything but kill BF. I saw the end when Bob and Dan quit. I knew the future and i didn't want any part of it. I leave you BF to the madness. I hope in the future your still around and you have someone else with a direction purpose and a devotion to playing as your leader. But i'm done with it and not coming back.
You can find me in FE.

Sit down. Let me tell you about someone i knew.....
His name was Bryan Agustus Cash. Let me tell you a little bit how he came into existence. PART I
My brother joined a tabletop role play group around 1989 or so. It was losely based on fasa at the time. New to this sort of thing and with a love of the original star trek my brother rolled his first ever rpg character. Now with his deep love for the original series his captain archetype was at first very similar to James Tiberius Kirk. Hence the similar sounding name. During this time there was no Venture Star yet really. Alex had some drawing he did when he was younger and a few ideas....that grouping of Cash and Venture Star would come later.
The group played together and continued on for a few years and as it did Bryan Agustus Cash evolved. Becoming less "kirk" like and more into his own kind of captain. It was i think around early 1991 that we first signed online with good ol AOL. Alex was always at that first computer Exploring the Internet. It of course didn't take long for him to discover star trek on the net. Those exploration lead to him finding out about online role play in that same year. He discovered an online group called the galactic sim federation. They where very small and had only a couple of games. One was a dreadnought....called Intimidator. Now alex didn't much care for starship names like that for TOS ships. So he approached the leader of the group with an idea.
With a modified dreadnought design of his own and an even better name. Captain Bryan Agustus Cash finally came together with the one thing that would define him for over ten years. USS Venture Star.

Almost
It's been quite a year.
I've written a lot.
I've cried a lot.
I've agonized a lot.
In the end i think I'm going to be satisfied with my accomplishments in writing for and in running Futility's End. Starlight has turned into something i've never expected. It's the most consistent highest posting well developed game currently in FE. I owe a lot of that to the players. Of course to Alex who created the damn thing. ;) I only hope that in the next year i can do the same with Expedition Fleet and the Venture Star.
A lot of people asked me why i quit as FECO. Short answer is because i wanted to torture Taylor a bit more. ;)
Longer answer is that i don't need to be FECO to still create and help FE become something amazing. It just feels right with Dan as FECO and me as his wingman. Like something that's just supposed to be.
Keep on Trekkin
