are greatly exaggerated.
No we aren’t dead. This past week was finals week for me, and my new job has me in a lot of training classes.
That said I am still working on trying to maneuver the blog in to my regular time schedule. It has been a challenge quite frankly.
Between school, work, studying for my GMAT and the gym making time has been difficult to say the very least. Toss in my volunteer work with the NOAA and you can see how I’m doing good to even show up here.
That said.
I’m working on another Cold War expose. I’m hoping it is as widely received as our previous work.
With that in mind I’m looking for any Cold Warriors willing to share stories from that era. I’ve sent out E-mails on the subject, and I’m trying to get my own act together to focus my work on said topical area.
In the mean time, don’t delete that bookmark yet, and don’t turn the dial. We have yet to go quietly in to that good night, and I have no plans to do so just yet.
So we have 11 days. In the next 11 days I will be wrapping up a lot of details at my current job, and preparing for my new one. After that time I’ll be joining the quote “Big Leagues” and will be changing some of my habits.
After much discussion, folks input, and E-mails as well as commentary, the decision has been made to keep the doors open here at Registered Evil, and see how it goes.
If we attract no H&I fire, we’ll keep it operation.
If we start taking rounds, I pull the plug.
Sorry folks but family welfare takes priority over much beloved hobbies.
I, personally, will be cutting back not only on when I blog, but what I blog. Sports, Military and History will probably become my forte. Look for more stories like this, to give you an example.
V00d3w will be picking up the slack on political commentary, as well as anyone else who wants to sign up.
We have only a few rules: no pr0n, no Boonie Rat speak*, always consider OPSEC** and keep it civil***. That’s it. Any subject is a go, and nothing else is taboo.
So you want to be a blogger? Want to be a MilBlogger?
Consider this your recruiting call.
Drop us a line here, on Twitter or on Facebook.

As I alluded to earlier I’ll be away most of this morning.
Going to be a very busy day from the onset. I’ll announce the results as soon as I have them. As the esteemed Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, ‘Always do what you are afraid to do.’”. Thusly today I go forth to do what I have been afraid to do thus far.
Meanwhile don’t forget to join me tonight via the RockyTopTalk Podcast as we talk Missouri State University and University of Tennessee Basketball, coaches and other points of interest.
Ya’ll be good, and try not to spill anything on the carpet will ya?
Got some changes coming round here.
We are in the last week of our Irish dedication, and I hope you have enjoyed our stories of Ireland, as well as the music and quotes from the country as well.
The big change is up in the air. We ask that you cross your fingers. It is something I, at least, have been striving for a very long time to gain a footing within. Because of this, there is a high possibility that our blogging may experience a transition in the near future. Some things are happening in my career that may make blogging either more common, or regular. Currently I try to have posts up by no later than 9 am. That time may shift to extremely early, or conversely extremely late.
However while the transition takes place we may go a few days without a post. We are not quitting. Careers just take precedence you know?
Otherwise continue to expect your College Sports coverage, political analysis, cigar reviews and other material of eclectic interest you have come to know and love.
I haven’t been on our normal schedule this week due to technical interruptions. Unfortunately those communicative interruptions are chronic, and myself as well as the 3 tech support groups have been banging our perspective heads against the proverbial wall. Not helping is the method of procedure one of the help desk centers insists on using.
My sincere apologies and I will do my best to get back on a normal blog schedule as the situation allows!
V00d3w has the helm around here for today and tomorrow
As for Me? I’m out of here. Feel free to join me
See you cats on Monday!

I’m home sick. Trying to work on my finals for college this week and finding it difficult through the haze of antibiotics, drugs, and flem. It’s great fun let me tell you.
However I would be remiss if I did not mention that today is my good friend, brother in blog, and one of the remaining Merry Men with whom I ran with in my younger years birthday.
Happy Birthday V00d3w
Got some goodies for ya after the jump, that should keep you entertained! Possibly NSFWish depending on how uptight your place of employment is.
Maybe I shouldn’t phrased that quite like that….. Read the rest of this entry »
Every March our long term readers know that things get a little more….green around here. We also focus about 90% of our article writing to all things Irish.
With that in mind, we have written about literally countless subjects on Ireland, including music, politics, and even my own family history.
What we’d like to know is: whats something you want to learn about Ireland? Is there something you’d like us to research, and write about this March?
Give us some feedback, drop some ideas in the comments. Consider us your personal researchers this March. We’ll do the leg work and the writing, you do the reading and suggesting.
Also don’t forget that St. Patrick’s Day is the date for our annual blog meet. It will be held at our traditional location of Celtic Grill in Bentonville, Arkansas. We have held this blogmeet for going on 7 years running, and it’s still going strong. So be sure to RSVP with us so we can meet, drink and be merry!
So just as we thawed out last week to start blogging we got hammered again.
I finally got power back, which without it has played a serious part in being detrimental to my sanity.
Namely the blog was not being updated save for my twitter posts (which is done via my cellphone) and my school work was getting behind (almost a weeks worth).
To say the least I have been concerned.
v00d3w has not been seen in a few days but I think that is due to his work more than anything. He has been dealing with some major technical issues there and of course neither he nor I are paid for what we do, our real jobs must take priority.
All that said the latest Arctic blast seems to be behind us, and while I have seen it snow in March, fiscally speaking I hope it doesn’t happen. Missing almost 8 days of work in a 2 week period due to being trapped does not do wonders for ones credit rating or bill paying ability, and debtors don’t like to hear the words “Act of God” as your excuse I have found, for being late.
We shall skin by as always. It is after all tax time.
It is supposed to warm up substantially today, and with that sunshine brings light of hope on some other opportunities I hope to explore as well. I’m going to be at Missouri State University on February 19th if all goes well, to examine the campus and see what all is needed for my application. I have one letter of recommendation secured and I am working on a second, I am still debating who to ask for my third.
All in all the winter has been harsh, but they say the best days come after a storm so lets hope it holds true, shall we?
I should be back to my regular blogging self shortly and I look forward to chatting with you all regularly once again!
Yes I live.
First day back to work in a week since the grand Blizzard.
And of course what happens?
Its snowing.
No internet except my cellphone most of last week. Really only got it back this weekend, and honestly spent most of that catching up on school so the blog took a backseat.
I know, I know damn priorities.
However I am hoping things will come back to normal, provided we don’t get dumped on…yet again. But it’s not looking good.
We had a good time, playing in the snow with Critter and Huck. Many adventures in driving, and I have managed to get sick yet again but I’m powering through it.
How was your adventures?
Just got my ®Evil shirt in the other day, and in case you are wondering how nice these fine products are:

Good morning readers! I know I have had quite a dry spell, and haven’t been posting regularly, but that’s come to an end as I have much to post, and you can look forward to many interesting articles, as soon as I get all my research and thoughts together. Thanks for your patience

I got mine:
Evil Items in use!
After having the Buddy Press system on here for almost a year, I’m going to remove it from the site. No one has used it quite frankly but spammers.
Our handful of regular commenter’s utilize the stock comment system, so the only thing the Buddy Press system has been so far is a distraction.
So unless someone out there actually has a use for it (feel free to comment) I’m going to remove it by the end of the week.
Yeah I know we have not posted much original material around here lately.
I promise I’m working on it. I have several items of conversation I’m researching for posts.
Such as a Homegrown Christmas story. Thoughts on the latest immigration and tax debacle. And a historical piece regarding Christmas on the Eastern Front. I have no idea what v00d3w has on the burner, I need to kick him out from under his rock. He’s been working from home lately, and I think it’s made him lazy
Unfortunately between in-laws being home during Thanksgiving, prepping for Christmas, Finals in College, my Boss going away for the remainder of the year, and our Holiday work load in the logistics industry spare time is something I have precious little of as of late.
I’m going to do my damnedest to get one of the aforementioned pieces finished over the weekend if I can.
Meanwhile do keep hanging around and keeping up with us.
We ain’t dead yet!
So HughesNet managed to really piss me off. My internet went out in the winter blast we had this past week.
My Dish came back. My Internet did not. After arguing with a guy who could not speak English I was told that a technician would call me in 3 to 5 days to set up a appointment and they would charge me $150 for the visit.
After I picked me jaw off the floor I cancelled the service.
So this the first time doing a full scale post with my Droid phone. I have signed up for the Verizon MiFi system. Will be a day or three until it gets here. Until then v00d3w has the helm.
Once I have internet again I’ll give a much more detailed telling of the debacle.
Meanwhile Happy Birthday today to my Critter!!
