A very good month by my recent standards here. I picked up 1,000 points for the month, averaged just about 35 points a day, and broke numerous milestones. Next month will not be nearly as good as I will be traveling but I am happy with how November turned out.

The weather this summer has been absolutely horrible for the most part. Rain at least fifty percent of the time and cool the other days. Today was absolutely beautiful with low humidity and not a cloud in the sky. I hope that this trend continues.

Well this month was significantly better than June in terms of B/P as I worked fewer hours. As I had back to school in the coming month, my B/P should rise once again. I just hope that I will be free on Clock Day for an easy 1K points...

Enjoy!

Well I will be working all throughout the month of June so I will be extremely busy and my NG time will fall yet again. 2009 is shaping up to be a very difficult year for my internet time but at least I will start making some money this year.

I started playing CentSport today. Basically it is a site that lets you wager on sports for free with the possibility of cashing out real money. Naturally the odds of winning real money are slim and involve significant luck but hey, its free! You should check it out and if you become my friend then we can see each others bets.

Well there is not too much to say here because I spent about five minutes on Newgrounds per day. Basically I was just depositing delaying and getting in a few votes here and there. Since I work such long hours, NG is a very minor priority for me now.

Enjoy!

May is always a great month; however, this month some of the edge is taken off by jury duty. I will have to serve later this month and that could be very interesting.

One of my primary goals this month is to catch up on both medals and reviews for medal games. I have a few in mind but I am actually going to submit them this month.

I just started playing Mafia Wars on my iPod Touch. If you play as well, I think it would be pretty entertaining to start up a Newgrounds group. My player ID is 1000 8861 98.

Well this was one of my worst months on Newgrounds and I cannot blame work for this one. I have been enjoying the great weather and spending more time with friends and family. Unfortunately, June will not be much better because I will be working full-time.

Enjoy!

This looks like it will be the big month that I reach Supreme Commander. I never, never thought that I would reach the highest B/P rank but here I am on the eve of Newgrounds immortality!

On April 21, 2009 at 8:51PM, I reached Supreme Commander!
Thanks to everyone who has ever check out my stats and especially to those who congratulated me!

Well towards the end of the month my activity completely dropped off the table due to finals but I still managed to put together a better month than in March. May could be significantly better, minus a few days here and there. I am fearful that nice weather will keep me away from the computer but I would really love to be outside more in the coming summer months.

Enjoy!

Despite the fact that the Northeast is project to get over one foot of snow on the first day of March, Spring will come eventually. As the flowers start to bloom and the days get longer, we will edge closer to the summer months. March should not be nearly as bad of a month for me as all of my work is spread out much better. In terms of reviews, I set an aggressive rate and I destroyed it last month. I am going to play it relatively safe and stay with ten reviews, although I anticipate being able to meet and exceed that goal if the portal remains slow.

Current March Review Status: 11 Completed | 10 Objective

After a month plus without any major achievements, I will be hitting at least two major milestones in the same number of months. This month I will reach level 32 (another cool icon) and late next month I should achieve the ultimate rank for B/P in addition to reaching 10,000 Blams (that will give me 3x10K stats). Those last two achievements are going to be the last big achievements for me here on Newgrounds but I will keep plodding away and improving my stats (especially medals).

What I am doing:
Reading: Bailout: What the Rescue of Bear Stearns and the Credit Crisis Mean for Your Investments and The Origin of Financial Crises
Skimming: eWeek and The Yankee Years
Watching: 24, Max Payne, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Family Guy, Law and Order: SVU, Seinfeld, The Cosby Show, King of Queens, and Watchmen Motion Comics
Playing: Portal Defenders, The Sims, Crossword Puzzles, and Alkie Kong 2 (I love all these new medals!)

Enjoy!

Despite being back at school for three weeks, the real work and exams are going to occur in February. Specifically, I have one test the first week in February that should not be that bad but the following week, I have two really brutal tests that are going to sap all of my time. Things cool down a bit after that but these are not going to be an enjoyable couple of weeks.

I am going to really return to reviewing this month after I slacked off a bit in December and early January. I am going to set my goal extremely high, much higher than I have completed in a month in a very long time (if ever): Ten Reviews.

I am super busy in the middle of this month with many difficult tests so my NG activity is going to drop naturally. Happy Valentines Day everyone! Go out and wish your friends and loved ones a Happy Valentines Day; then go out and buy things to stimulate the economy!

The portal was kind of slow this week because I was not that inactive this month, yet my B/P slipped a noticeable amount. In order to compensate for my lack of B/P, I really stepped up my reviewing and set a personal best for a month with seventeen reviews. Despite a lower amount of points, I hit a weak point in the B/P list and I managed to gain 12 ranks! For reference, I have not gained 12 ranks in one month since October of last year! Hopefully this trend continues for a bit but I realize that the gaps between ranks are going to continue to grow as I edge near the top 150.

Enjoy!
