reenactorNet

This would be the blog of one Marshall J. Wise or "Marsh" to my friends -- it's "Marshall" to the company or others of that ilk. Anywho, this be just my thoughts and bloviations on life, reenacting, the world and other thoughtless provoking crap. Yes, I am a reenactor, yes, I own reenactor.Net... Remember: work to live, not live to work.

*(and yes, look up the word bloviate on google)

Hmmm, "about me" huh? It's kind of boring. I'm a truck driver hauling U.S. Mail for a Postal Contractor (I was a manager for them, but it became a misery-fest and I felt (and still do) that I was being taken advantage of... at least NOW I have time off). Reenacting Lessee, I am into reenacting... WWI, WWII and Roman. Doing the first two, I portray a German (no, I don't care one bit if you're offended), in the last, I do a 1st Century Roman impression. I find the Roman Empire fascinating. r.Net I have owned reenactor.Net (the biggest reenactor website on the planet) since 1998 and am constantly trying to make it better (for that, I really need 37 hour days). One good thing about r.Net is it allows me to meet and know a lot of really great and nice people who's knowledge just leaves me floored. How I think... Do you really care about how I think? I'm kind of a dork... If you read the blog, you'll see how I think (or don't think, if you listen to a lot of people).

Hmmm birthday ruminations

Okay, so it was my birthday, actually still is as I was born at midnight between the 15th and 16th. Anyway, it was one of those days. It got better when I got home and my wife made me a nice cake :-)

Today, well yesterday now, I actually was thinking, for the first time of just selling off all my reenacting shit. I love WWI and the Roman stuff and I am very comfortable w/ WWII, but I just don't know -- I am so disgusted with some of these people... some in Roman actually, that I might just do it. I could put all the $$ into the sailboat. At least there, I'm not going to have a bunch of janitor-generals and puffy know-it-all's bloviating on tunic colour. And for the record, I believe Romans wore RED, not white. And I don't care what Fuentes wrote, his article was 20 years ago... new stuff has been written since then.

I just don't know. I have never felt this much disgust for people in my hobby. It' s not fun! Okay, I like the people form Lafe, they all try and just have fun and put their differences behind them. I'll post the video here so you can look at it... fun and reenacting... not standing around for a bunch of bored touronz. Oh well, I need to take some valium or something.

Onward. I miss my boat -- I need to get down and paint the bottom... Sara is getting me a gallon of bottom paint for my birthday :-) Gods I hope I can get Gaia in the water and use her this year.
