Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 07:53PM The Singlemalt Podcast has been around for a few years now and has produced quite a few episodes; some good, some bad, but most of which have been entertaining. I wasn't a founding member, but came aboard over a year ago to join Craig and Devin. The show has evolved quite a bit, some of which has been due to Craig leaving to fullfill other obligations, as well as a complete overhaul for the show.
Well, Craig is back and people have told us that three is our magic number as far as hosts, but Craig has bragged that its him that makes the show. lol. Well, here's a chance for him to prove himself. As of this moment on I'm afraid to say I will no longer be able to be a co-host of The Single Malt Versus.
It has come to a point that I must refocus on certain aspects of my life and to begin to focus on others. I wish not to discuss any further what that means, but just wish to express how much fun I had recording. Hopefully in the future I might be able to come back to the show, but for now I must depart.
I wish lots of luck to my two close friends, the remaining hosts of Singlemalt. I leave with words that made an impression on me from the former Tonight Show host, Conan O' Brien:
"Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get.
But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Tuesday, December 29, 2009 at 06:27PM Ok so last monday i wrote up a blog stating how I was on a mission to start blogging twice a week, well fail on that. However I am blogging a week later and the end of last week was Christmas, so i think i can forgive myself.
So both of us The Single Malt Versus hosts are on vacation yet 1/2 of us are in Hawaii. Devin is one lucky bastard and I hope a sea turtle eats him.
I, despite not being in a tropical paradise, have enjoyed my vacation thus far. Ive read Something Missing 
and am torn about which book to conquer next.
I've been playing Zelda: Spirit Tracks, FF8, and various boardgames.
The main thing that I've loved this Christmas though is being with family and friends. Not to get all mushy but being around with family and friends is what its all about. No amount of presents can take away the joy of letting your parents cheat at a game of Sorry. Baking pumpkin bread with your wife. Going with your family to go eat at a great restaurant. I think that sometimes in the consumerism of the Holidays we forget that. So for the people that have a few days vacation left, stop going to the mall and buying crap, turn off the stupid sports game on your fancy LCD TV, stop twittering and actually talk to the family member that you least talk to. You'll be surprised what new things you'll learn and the fun times that can be had.
Monday, December 21, 2009 at 09:04PM Ok, so we've had the Single Malt site up for awhile now and its pretty obvious that I'm not much of a blogger. Many reasons had to do with the fact that I work 40 hours a week, go to school, I produce art, and I podcast.
Well I'm out of school for a month for winter break and I'm going to be on a 2 week vacation from work. So one thing that I wanted to do was get a jump for the New Year on being more frequent posting on this site. Being a creature of habit I figured I would make myself take time out of my day and post every Monday and Friday night. I'm much sometimes will be more interesting than other times, at times I may review, rant, use this as a journal or post up artwork, or just ponder life in general, but for what its worth it'll be on here.
If anyone has any thing they would like me to post about or chat with let me know via this site, calling in to our podcast, or get ahold of me on twitter, @abraxas579.
May this hopefully be the 1st blog of many.
Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 08:41PM Ok so I picked up the new novel Star Wars: Death Troopers on friday, not really knowing what it was about. Due to homework friday and APE (alternative press exo) on saturday i wasnt able to read it untill today, Sunday. I started about 10am and i just finished it. How do i critique a novel like this? I'll make it very simple.
28 days + Star Wars = Death Troopers.
If you a SW fan, and a zombie fan, read this!
