| I will be at MFF this year |

This is just a quick posting. I will be going to MFF this year. I will be wearing my StuntTiger fursuit. When out of suit most likely I will be wearing my Alaska hat with a bear on the front of it. On the side of the hit it says Bit Me. Just to let you know if I get bit I will bite back harder LOL. Mostly likely I will be wearing dark blue shirts or Starter pants that are dark blue kind of the same shade as my tiger fursuit. |

Well for Halloween my boss said it was ok if I wore one of my fursuit to work. When I showed up one of my co-workers loved the fursuit and asked the one question that some fursuiters are asked. I lied and told her that I did not do that(I know I am lieing but she does not have to know that. During my shift at the gas station I was told I had a real cool fursuit and that most of the people loved it. I was asked by a few people what I was. They could not see that I was a white tiger with blue stripes. All in all I had a great time and people loved the suit. I do not think I got one bad responce from anybody that came into the place. |

| Fursuit retirement |

Ok I have told a few people that I am going to be retiring SkunkIButt from public performances. I am not going to retire him from falling off the roof onto the airbag. I have had a few people asking me to sell them SkunkIButt. Some of them understand that I am not going to sell the fursuit. There is 1 person that will not get off my back. He keeps asking and asking to sell SkunkIButt to him. He would say that it would save him money if I sold my suit to him. Then I tell him to do what most other people have done SAVE YOUR MONEY. When I got my first furusit I saved up my money for a long time. for 3 months I just about ate romen every day. I did went to less movies and went out with friends less so that I could save money. It seems that most people in the furry world do not want to do that. When they hear that a fursuit is being retired screw the time a person has put into getting that suit or the time they put into wearing that suit. They just want you to sell that suit to them for cheap. |

I know I know I have said that I will be doing more posting but I keep forgetting that I have an LJ account. I am busy with other things and I forget to update my account.
I am still looking for a job but I do have a few that might be looking good. I have also been doing a lot of jumping off the roof onto my airbag. I have even done a few music videos of me jumping off the roof while in fursuits.

A few weeks ago I went to Alaska to visit a friend of mine. I had a real nice time visiting. I was there for 2 weeks and the weather was great. It only drizzled for 2 days and the rest of the time it was nice. I got to see see parts of Anchorage and some of the best scenery I have ever seen in a long time. I even got a pic of a moose crossing the street. The only thing I did not care for Alaska is the cost of everything. Everything in Alaska cost SOOOOO much. Also I do not think I could get use to the days and nights run. It was 11pm at night and it was still light out like it was 6pm here in WI. Then I was told that during the winter it is black at 3pm. After I heard that I was like nope I would not want to live here.
Well a few days ago was the Milwaukee Pride Fest. There was like 16 fursuiters at the event this year. Many more than what we had last year. We showed up to the event around noon. We went into the park and walked around for a bit and got some pics. Then as we walked around some of us got dragged into doing square dancing. I have not done square dancing I would say 25 years. The funny thing is that I still knew all the calls that the guy did. After we did square dancing they had a drawing and I won $10. Also it was a lot of fun doing square dancing in my StuntTiger fursuit. All the people around us loved seeing the furrys dance. Then after some more walking around I wanted to go inside the inflatable bouncer that they had for the kids. They would not let me for I was to tall. I think next year I am going to talk to somebody and see if I get just get inside and take a few pics. After about an hour of walking around we went back to the front of the park. There we meet up with more furs that had just got there. We got more pics of everybody and just hung out in the front of the park. I kept getting pulled off to the side so that people could get a pic with me. I just think that they wanted to get a pic with a cute tiger.
Then after Pride Fest everybody came back to the house for a nice BBQ. I think that everything went well and people had a great time. I am looking forward to the end of July for we are going to have another big BBQ for people.

Well the weather has been starting to get nice again. You call know what that means HEHEHEHE. Well a few months ago I got an airbag off ebay. The airbag is much bigger than I had expected it to be. The airbag is 15 feet wide and 20 feet long and 8 feet high. For the fist few weeks of testing it I just had the one blower to keep the airbag inflated. With jumping off the roof (15 foot fall from ground to roof) the 1 blower was ok. It took about 5 min to get the airbag inflated and a min or more to have the airbag inflated back up after landing. So I went out and got a new blower for the airbag. Now I have 2 blowers to inflate the airbag. I have noticed a big different in the landing and how much time it takes to inflated the airbag after landing. Or the last few months I have been doing a lot of jumping off the roof onto the airbag.I have also been doing a few falls while wearing my StuntTiger and SkunkIbutt fursuits.

| Great updates. |
[Mar. 24th, 2009|03:20 am] |
WOW it has been a while scents the last time I have updated my LJ. I need to really start making postings and not wait so long. Well I got back home to WI Jan 10th. I spent a month with my parents helping them move into the new house. I even got to spend 1 night at the place by myself. I told them I wanted to at least stay one night at the new place. In return I cleaned the house up a bit scrubbing the bathrooms and kitchen.
Well on Jan 9th I got an e-mail from the airbag people. They said that my order was being worked on and that they would get back to me very soon. 2 months later and 6 e-mails asking what is going on I still have not heard back from them. I am getting tired if not hearing back from them. I have sent many e-mails just asking for an update on what was going on. So I have decided to call it quits between them and I. I sent an e-mail telling them that I was not happy with how things was going and that I did not want the airbag form them and that they lost a potential customer down the road.
Last Thur night I was talking to a friend online. We talked about airbags for a bit and how they work. He then IM's saying that there is one on ebay. My first thought was starting bid was $2,000 or more dollars. The last few times they have had airbags on ebay they started out at $3,000. When I looked up the auction I was surprised that starting bid was $9.95. I placed a bid not thinking that I would get it. Well Friday rolled around and I checked the bidding. 2h left and still 1 bid (mine). Started to get a little nerves for I wanted to win the auction but deep down I had that feeling that I was going to get sniped at the last sec. 30m left in the auction and I kind of started to get excited and hopping to win but still had that feeling I was going to lose. 5sec left and I hot the refresh button. YOU ARE THE WINNER was said at the top of the screen. I was almost bouncing off the walls I was so happy. I got a $4,000 airbag for only $10. When I went ot pick it up I told them they could keep the nickel :). Sat and Sunday I was happy for I had won something I have always wanted for 26 years now. Monday I went to pick up the airbag on the south side of IL. Around trip the drive took 10 hours. I feel that it was well worth the drive. I now have a nice real stunt airbag to land on when doing falls at night at the local school. I will be taking pics and video of the airbag when the weather starts to get nice again in a few days. |

| 2008 in review |
[Dec. 30th, 2008|11:44 pm] |
Well this was a big year for me a lot of things went great and a lot of things went bad this year. I will start off with the bad stuff that happened this year.
1. I had to quit my job as a mall security officer because the security director was a racist ass hole and found out I was gay and made my life hell at the mall.
2. Bit and I broke up. I did a lot of things that were not right of me and we ended up breaking up.
3. I am on unemplyment for the last 4 months and being broke sucks. The job I have does not have enough hours to give everybody so I have not worked in the last 4 months. Being broke sucks big time right now
4. I have a car that is falling apart and needs work done to it.
Now for the good things of 2008.
1. Moved out of an apt and into a nice house.
2. Made up with Bit.
3. Got a nice paying job that I enjoy doing.
4. Visted my parents for the holidays.
5. Might be getting my first real stunt airbag. |

| Living in Ca |
[Dec. 30th, 2008|10:24 pm] |
Well for almost a month now I have been vising my parents out in Ca. I am visiting them for the holidays and helping them move into the new house they just got. The house is very nice and I like it very much. Right now they are getting the house painted so we are moving stuff into the garage at the moment. They are moving about 45 min from were they live now. They moved for they are just tired of the snow and ice and want to move away from it all.
I am sooooo looking forward to going back to WI Jan 10th. My parents do not realize that I am 33 years old and I have a life. My mom keeps repeating that when I go back to WI that I will miss the Ca weather. I keep telling her no I will not for I got use to the cold weather in WI. Also I have a style of clothing that I like to wear. I wear the baggy warm up pants and shirt. I hate wearing jeans unless I am working. Jeans to me feel very uncomfortable when sitting down in them. They keep asking my to wear jeans and they do not get the hint that I have told them over and over again that I do not like to wear jeans when I am going to be sitting down for a while. I brought some of the baggy pants with me that look nice to go out to dinner. The biggest thing that is bugging me the most is my mom. It seams that when I am with my sister my mom has to butt in and have her way. One night I was showing my sister a video on my laptop. My mom tells me to turn it off and she starts to play a video she had on the computer much louder than my laptop. Then on Christmas after dinner my mom was not doing anything so I brought out my laptop again and again started to show my sister a video. Right then and there my mom wanted to open presents. I asked her for 30 more sec and the video would be over. "No we are opening presents now so turn it off." I kind of blew up on her. I have not seen my sister very much scents I have been back home. My sister works and is always with her friends so the time I get with my sister I would like to have with her and not with my mom interruption.
I have gone on a few walks while at the house I grew up in. During the walks I have had a fill of some of the great memories playing in the woods. I also a friend named Cliff Hatton who use to live just down the street form me came to visit for a few hours. We talked about old memories of the stuff that we use to do together. Then we went to the house that he use to live at. We asked the lady the now owns the house if we could take a look inside the house. The moment Cliff and I walked into the house we looked up at the loft area. That was a place that we jumped from a lot when his parents were not home. When she saw us looking up she asked if that was the spot that we had jumped from. She later told us that Cliffs mother came by last year and told her that is what we had done when we were younger. All in all I am enjoying my time here in Ca but I am so looking forward to being back home in Ca with all my friends again.
For Christmas I did get a few nice things. I got a few collector knives that use to be my uncles. I also got season 4 and 5 of CSI Las Vages. I also got a new pair of glasses. |

I have tried to write this without naming any names but I cannot. Last few days Wag who lives at the house with everybody is really starting to piss me off. A few days ago he has been in a mood that he really needs to get out of very soon. It all started when people forgot his birthday. Everybody at the house has been pretty busy around the house doing stuff. I know I have with taking care of Bit with his bad back. When Wags gets home form work he goes into his room and plays WOW almost all day. He almost never comes out of his room to visit with people. Now most people would say “Hey my birthday is in a few days I do not want anything or lets go do something for my birthday.” NO he does not do this. Instead he blows up on people online that he has not talked to in a while and goes into a mood. Then he whines and cries that somebody had used his toothpaste a few times. Ok I can kind of see that but still. Then just a few days ago we have been getting a lot of snow and have been shoveling the driveway. Now Bit, Swann and I have been doing most of the shoveling. Wags complains that he had to shovel the driveway all by himself and that he called to Rekeash and I 5 times to come and help. Wags ever yelled out to anybody to help. Then that night we had a house meeting. He told everybody that we should have taken the initiative to come and help with the driveway. That almost made me want to yell at him. I bit my lip and just stopped lessoning to him. If he wants to talk about initiative in doing something then wash the dishes, empty the trash can, clean the bathroom, vacuum the house do something to help clean the house. Wags does jack and shit to help clean the house. Then Friday everybody was helping with cleaning the house for a house warming party that is going to take place Sat. Wags goes on the net and rants to people that we did not help with cleaning the house. OMFG he is the person that never helps with the house cleaning or anything to help keep the house clean. The biggest pet peeve I have with him is him and the lights on in the house. He has told people that we need to turn off light when we are not using them to save electricity. I do not know how many times I have gone past his room and his computer is on all the lights are on in his room and his TV is one and he is asleep in bed. Also he leaves his laundry downstairs for a week at a time. He will put his stuff in the washer and forget about. Then the next person comes down puts his stuff in the dryer and then takes it out. Then a few 4 or 5 days later he will come down and get only when somebody tells him he has stuff down there. The things that is really pissing me off is that everybody in the house bends over backwards to try and keep him happy and at the end Wags gets what he wants most of the time. Wags needs to grow up and stop with the little temper tantrums. I am almost at the point where I am going to go off on him and it is not going to be nice at all. |

Well a few weeks ago I was on the phone with my parents. There were talking about getting a new house in Cameron Park Ca. Well a few days ago I called them back and they said that they got the house and they are waiting for everything to get finalized by the banks. So it looks like I will be heading out to Ca for a bit and help my parents with the movie. I will be spending x-mass with them and I am looking forward to it. The last time I saw my parents was about a years a half ago and that was during the summer. I am looking forward to seeing Ca during the winter. they said that they have been having some real nice weather out there. While I am out in Ca I might visit a few friends that I have not seen in over 8 to 10 years now. I might bring my fursuit with me to show my parents. they already know about the fursuit for I have showed them the pics of it. |

Well as some of you might know over the last month or so I have been kind of working for a company that makes airbag trying to catch a false guy saying that he makes airbags.
For the people that do not know. about 2 months ago I was looking threw sites on the net and found what I thought was a legit site (The guy had some pics of the airbags on Flicker). I asked a few questions and about a week later I got an e-mail from the guy. He answered my questions but he started asking questions about my height and weight say that they would design an airbag around the info that I give him. I gave the guy some false info and was kind of wary about this. Also at the end of the e-mail the guy had links to sex toys and other adult stuff He also had a myspace account with same pics of the airbag but no real site for the airbags. Then a week later he tells me that they are doing some sketches of the airbag that that I would get to see them very soon. Then a week later I get an e-mail from somebody else. They said that guy 1 had been fired from the company long time ago and did not have any of the rights to sell the airbag that they had on the site. So I asked the 2nd guy the same questions about the airbags that they had on there site. The next day I got the e-mail from the 22md guy and he went into much more detail about the airbags and how they are made and even were they get the stuff to make the airbag. I felt for they were the real deal for they gave a real web site and even the web sites of the places they get the stuff from. The 2nd guy asked me to try and get more info about the guy. He said that he would give me a nice deal on an airbag. so over the next month I was keeping contact with 1st guy but giving false info so that they would not know what was really going. All the e-mails I got from the 1st guy I forwarded them to the 2nd guy. In the end they found the guy and was arrested. Well yesterday I got an e-mail from the 2nd guy with update on the 1st guy and I was told I would be getting a 10x15x5 foot airbag for free. All I would have to pay is the shipping of the airbag. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
I am happy that I will be getting a real airbag to land on and this summer the fursuit stunt demo video is going to be a 100% go on it. |

| New home and new fursuit |
[Aug. 26th, 2008|09:27 pm] |
Well to start things out I am no longer living in an rented apt. I moved into a nice house that Bit got. Friday Bits family came over to help with cleaning the house. The people before us went to a retirement home and the family left behind a lot of stuff. Bit family came over to help clean the place before we moved into the place the next day. Somebody who I will not name decided to work on his room instead of helping clean the WHOLE house. Sat came and we got the rental truck and started moving. Everything started out smoothly the first day. everybody helped move and it went nicely. Then Sunday Bit and I had a church event to go to. We brought the bouncers with us and set it up for the kids. I brought my new fursuit. Yes I finely got StuntTiger in the mail Sat. The kids loved it very much. they even got a big kick when I went into the bouncer with them.
Well after Bit and I got home we got to work moving and getting things cleaned up. Once again the person went into his room to get his room straighten instead of helping getting the house together. Then Monday came and Bit and I went to the old APT to get a few things and clean up the place. After the movie was over they came over and he just sat around doing almost nothing at all. A few times I came up stairs to see him laying in the middle of the floor doing JACK SHIT. Then that night we got stuff to make a ferret pin the the 2 ferrets some of the other roommates came down to help with the pin but not him he once again staid up in his room tell it was all done. So far he has not really helped with anybody getting stuff together together but just stood there watching.
Today I helped Bit clean more of the old apt and get more stuff to the house. After Bit went to work I grabbed StuntTiger and walked back to the APT. I did a little more cleaning of the apt. When I took a break I got my airbag from the car and took a few pics of me in StuntTiger. I even did a few videos of me jumping onto the airbag. I like the fursuit very much and Thank You Hindpaws for making the fursuit for me. I will be posting pics real soon |

I know I know it has been a very long time from the last time I have made any posts to this LJ. Many things have been going over the last time I have posted to my LJ. I got the job at Brookfield Mall as a security officer. It did not last long for the mall security directer was a real ass hole. They had a guy that was a supervisor going around to the other security officers asking them if I was gay or not. I also got suspended for 2 days because I did not give the director info on what I was doing on my days off. I requested 2 days off and he wanted info on what I was doing during my days off. It was always one thing after another at that place. The people that stood up to this guy was always in trouble for the little things. After I quit that job 5 other people quit within 3 weeks after I left.
When I quit Brookfield Mall I already had another job lined up and started a few days later. I now work for a company called Ready Set Merchandising. What I do is go to different Home Depots and do in store resets for them. I like the job and I like the people I work with. Most of them know that I am gay and they are cool about it. The company pays for me to travel to Home Depot to Home Depot. They also pay for my hotel and for food while I am away from home. I work 4 day but they are 10 hour shifts and I have Fri Sat and Sunday off from work. At the mall I was making $9 an hour with this company I make $12 an hour.
I am hopping that in the next few weeks I will be getting my first commissioned fursuit. I will be getting my StuntTiger fursuit (White tiger with blue stripes). I am so looking forward to getting the fursuit and doing stunts with it on. I am also looking forward to MFF this year and showing off the new fursuit. I have some great ideas that I want to do for the FVS this year they are going to funny. |

| New Job |
[Aug. 15th, 2007|10:57 pm] |
Well It has been over 2 weeks now that I have been without a job. I quit my job working for One Source cleaning company. I liked the job do not get me wrong. I liked the idea of being able to wear headphones and hear the music that I like. Now for the bad stuff about the job. There was no vacation and no benefits. They also wanted me to work 8 hours with no break. Also I had to clean shit and I do mean shit a few times at some of the buildings bathrooms.
Well last wed I turned in an ap at Brookfield Mall as a security officer. That same day I got a call wanting an interview. I called back and set up an interview for tue at 3:00pm. I went to it and everything went very well. Well today I got a call telling me to come to the mall this friday for orentation. I got the job that I love doing. If you want to see me just come to the mall and look for a tall white security officer walking around the mall :) |

| First day going to a real stunt school. |
[Jul. 15th, 2007|08:37 pm] |
Well today was my first time being part of a stunt school. I got to the school around 8am and helped set a few things up that we would be doing during the day. We started out by doing some car stuff. We started by doing a few shoulder rolls just to see if we could do the car stunt. Then They put a mat on top of the car and we had to push off roll across the hood of the car then do another roll when we hit the ground. Then we had to do a roll across the hood of the car then a backward roll after hitting the ground. Than after we did that for a while I got to see a guy try and roll the car we used earlier that day. The guy was not able to roll the car for the ramp was not high enough to get the car up and over. It still looked cool seeing the guy come very close to doing it. Then we took a 30 min lunch and some of us got things ready for the next stunt we were going to be doing. We took out a nice size airbag and some foam mats and set everything up.
For the highfall they had a few people that have done it before show us how to do a fall. I wanted to laugh for I already knew how to do it but I did not say anything. After a few times watching the people do stuff it was my turn to jump. The lady that runs the class told me to do a suicide fall. I was happy for this is one of my fav falls to do. I went up about 25 feet at first and looked down at the airbag. I did the fall and the lady was surprised at how well I had done it. Then I went up to the 30 foot park and from 35 foot mark. I wanted to go higher but we had other stuff that needed to be done.
Then we took another quick break and did some repelling form the silo. That was a lot of fun doing that. After that I got to see a guy do a ladder fall. That is were you go up a ladder then push off and fall into a large foam mat with the ladder on top of you. I did not get to do that for I did not want to give it a try and I was starting to get a little tired.
After everything was done we sat in the gym and had a nice little chat about the day and what we all thought about the video that was being done to show what is taught at the school. Well I was talking to the guy that was doing the the video and he asked if he could shoot a special interest video on my fursuit stunt performing. They want to make the video and do a little interview and post it on the internet. This will give a small start showing that there is a good side to fursuiting. |

| Update of myself |
[Jun. 12th, 2007|01:55 pm] |
Well that last few weeks have been going great. Work has been going well so far. I like working as a janitor for One Source. The reason I like the job is that I can wear head phones and hear the music I like.
Well I have talked to Deb Kahana owner of the stunt school. She said that she is going to do a video for YouTube. She has asked me to be part of the video. The video will be done July 15th and July 21st. I am so looking forward to this. Also for doing the video I will get a free CD of the shoot and I will be able to show people that stuff that I can do :) |

| Me going to a stunt school at last |
[Jun. 4th, 2007|12:27 am] |
Well over the last 2 weekends I have been going to Kenosha to a stunt school. I have been talking to a lady that runs the school. At first it was about doing a fursuit stunt music video at her place. Well she told me that July would be out for it was her busiest month of the summer.
Well after a few hours of talking she started asking me questions. I told her that I was a mascot and had a few fursuits of my own. When I said that her eyes lit up. She told me that she has never had a mascot that was able to perform stunts in them. She said that I could help out with a few stunt demo gigs that she does in the area. I will be doing stunts in my fursuits at these gigs. In return for working for her I will be getting free stunt classes. Now I will get my chance to learn the right way to do stunts. LOL
Just this last weekend I had to head back to the stunt school. I went there signed a few waver forms and showed her SkunkIButt and Tumbler. She loved the SkunkIButt the most and was calling it SkunkIButt the stunt performing skunk. LOL She also said that she would promote my mascot business and if I madea had out she would add it to the fliers that people had out at the different gigs. So this is going to be a very busy but fun summer. I am looking forward to it so much. |

| It has been a while |
[Apr. 4th, 2007|01:16 pm] |
Wow it has been a while from the last time I have posted to this LJ. I bet a lot of you people that have me on the friends list do not read anything I have to say anymore. Oh well I know that there is a few out there that will read this posting.
Well one of the reason for the long wait in posting is that I have been very busy with work. I work as a Janitor for a cleaning Co. I clean buildings during the week. Then on the weekend I have been trying to everything ready and for the fursuit stunt video that will be done during the summer. So far I have 7 people that want to take part in the video. I am just hopping that by the time pracices come around I will still have the same people. I already have a location for the video. It is going to be filmed at a stunt school in Kenosha. That is only about 1 hour drive from were I live now. Also the place said that they would let us rent an airbag for the video. So far the video will have stage combat, tumbling, low falls and highfalls. I am so looking forward to this video.
Well I have moved from our old APT into a nice town house. Bit and I like the place very much. It has 3 floors and a deck at each leave. I told Bit that I would not do any jumps at this place. The new place is about 10 min from our old place so moving was not to bad.
A few weeks ago Bit want to a pet store and got 2 ferrets. They are so cute and hyper. The female is an albino white ferret. He named it Menchi in Jap it means Stewed Meat. Yea I know I am a tiger so the name fits :). The other has possem markings and I named it Gizmo. Both are very cute and I do love them.
On Feb 9th I was in a car accedent. The guy was speeding and when I went to make a left hand turn he his my car and totaled it. Right now I am driving Bits car to and from work. I am hopping that this weekend I will be getting a truck. That way I will have to be using Bits car to get around. Also this way I can transport the mats and other stunt equipment around and not have to put them on the top of a car. Well that is it for now. I will start trying to make more posts and sooner. |
