Well, summer is pretty much here. (Come on we all count Memorial Day weekend as the real start of Summer). For most people that means relaxing at the beach, grilling and pretty much just getting a tan after a day at the office.
Not me….
See, I do get to relax. Every weekend I go to Kymer’s Camping Resort in Branchville, NJ. I’ve been up there for 20 seasons, every weekend from April 1st till November 1st. It’s nice to have a place up in the woods. It’s very relaxing.
However when you own an online store you really don’t get time to “relax”. I may be away from the computer and the internet when I’m up there but I still get all my sales sent to my cell phone so I can make sure I’m keeping up with my customers and making sure that they get what they need in a timely manner.
Now, on top of that we have Castle No Fear. A gaming community that wants more games. I have “plenty” of new games to add, problem is, I don’t have the time to add them since I’m still working on getting as many products added to the store as possible before the Holiday shopping season starts in September.
September?
Oh yea….that’s the start of the Holiday shopping season when you own an online store. Crazy huh?
Anyways, between going away on weekends, adding products, processing orders, adding games, managing an internet radio station, attempting to blog on this site, and being a husband and father…..I need a clone.
Even without one though, I couldn’t be happier.

Wow….I’ve been gone a while haven’t I? Yea….I saw that coming a mile away. I get so involved in so many different things that for some reason I never have time for me. Yes….this site is supposed to be “me”. The drivelings of my mind….well….here we go again.
Let’s start with why I disappeared…..again. My last post was back in June of 2008. The campground (Kymers Camping Resort) I have been going to for 20 years would be in “full swing” at that time. That means I would be there every weekend. In other words I had no “spare” time.
During this time though I did more work at the store Serendipity Deals adding more products and categories….and removing crap from a shitty supplier. Speaking of….if anyone out there is planning on starting their own online store….STEER CLEAR OF DOBA. I can’t stress that enough. Wait…on second thought….you would then be competition wouldn’t you? In that case….by all means….go get screwed! However….my Doba rant is enough for another post all on its own.
How about the Castle? Castle No Fear had one hell of a year last year getting tons of new users and we have over 1100 games for you to play for FREE. I try and add about 6 new games a week now…typically on Fridays. Stop by and have some fun. We upgraded the gold system (which we refer to as Dole) as well as the arcade…and added an AWESOME casino to spend your not so hard earned dole on.
Let’s not forget that Fired Up Radio also celebrated it’s first birthday this passed February 1st! Wooo! Go drama free radio!
Oh….yea….my latest triumph? After a stale, stagnent year with NFMDesigns.com I finally destroyed the “brick wall” page that I had that was difficult to read. I dropped Joomla from the site and installed Drupal 6.1 and now it has new life!
So….expect to finally see some more activity at these sites as I’m on a full press (I know I left out “court” but I hate basketball) to bring my madness to the world!
