A friend of mine invited me back here. It was great to talk to him again. It's been a while! So I thought that I would update you guys on what I've been up to, as long as there are still people here that remember me. (I'm not sure who's still here and who's not). If not, I guess I'll just look like a moron, lol.
So, here is what's been up.
1.) Baby Alan
I became a daddy as of 8/17/2007. Couldn't be happier.

2.) I got a job offer last January to be an IT Technician for Landaal Packaging of Burton, MI. I love my job so far, I do not only computer support, but networking and programming too. The coolest thing about it is that they have me studying PHP so I've been learning that, and various other languages. Even database stuff like MySQL. This is valuable to me, because even though jobs don't last forever, skills do, and I love to learn tech stuff.
3.) I've been a concert whore. Lately I've been to Flaw (twice), 9th Corner, Chris Volz, Nonpoint, Know Lyfe (twice), Downseed (twice), Family Values 2007, Boy Hits Car, and some more I can't remember. I got free tickets from work to see Stevie Nicks and then Foreigner during their reunion. Most of the bands above I got signed merchandise. When it comes to Flaw, my wife and I are on their guest list and get to hang out back stage with them.
4.) I have a website now. http://jlacroix.info
5.) I jumped on the Myspace bandwagon. (Not sure why but it seems okay so far). http://myspace.com/jeremylacroix
6.) I changed my AIM address to: jeremyblacroix
7.) I recently lived a childhood dream of mine, and I imported the Japanese versions of Final Fantasy 4-6, Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest 5+6. (Super Famicom). Most of you may wonder why that matters but to me I'm a collector and I always wanted those.
8.) I built a super awesome extreme computer. Well, I'm sure there are better computers than mine out there, but I retired my old one this year and built a custom system, with the following: AMD Athlon X2 5200+ Processor, 120GB and 320GB Hard Disks, DVDRW, Geforce 8600GT video, 2GB RAM, gamepad adapter (allows you to hook up PS2, Gamecube and XBox controllers to PC) and I got a neat case with neon LED fans. I got a picture of it here:
This is not the first time I built a machine myself, I've done that a ton of times, but always with hand me down parts. This is the first computer where I went to the computer store and picked out everything.
9.) I published another game. Doesn't seem like many people want to download it, but it's here if you're interested. I'll probably post an Imaginari Topic on it. It's called "Oriontide: Forever In The Eternal Darkness Of The Nameless".

I don't know if I'm going to become a regular fixture in this place, but I'll take it one day at a time and see how this place is now days.
