Hello warriors.

Warrior Web reopens within the next 7 days. I want to make a few announcements before it does.

You’ve been very patient during the reconstruction and I appreciate it. I want to thank Gianni Venturini, an Ultimate Warrior fan in the UK, advertising designer by trade and all-around creative individual, for submitting the abstract design. To bring it to functional completion, I did the rest. It was quite a learning experience. Although not originally thankful for the obstacles I faced, the new challenge of it all — having to think, work and spend effort acquiring new knowledge to figure out solutions — effectuated, by the end, a great deal of satisfaction. Once again, the challenge reveals itself to be the real buzz.

My wife, Dana, the truly better half, told me, with her typical sharp-tongued wit, “What did you expect? You are a stubborn, hardcore man (This I will admit)…especially when it comes to refusing to compromise with the incompetence, dishonesty or laziness of others, even if it makes things more challenging for yourself. You are also always telling others --most especially our OWN children! -- that they can learn anything and that if you want something done right — do it yourself. The whole thing, honey, worked out just as it was destined to. Just see it for what it truly was and appreciate bettering yourself.” The “honey” part always makes me forget any dumb-butt complaint I may have had in mind as a response to defend my grumbling (yes, I do). Ah, the pushover I am for this Warrior Woman….

I did the work myself because another designer brought on to handle HTML code editing, which Gianni could not do at the time, misrepresented themselves about their abilities. After several unusual inquires and too many requests for delay, it not only became clear that this ‘editor’ misrepresented their actual ability, they were also secretly trying to learn, through trail and error, the skills they, fraudulently, at first professionally claimed they held. To make matters worse than the lying (there really is nothing worse) and lost time, while trying to become this expert-on-the-fly, they used my old site’s files as the test samples they experimented upon. In the process, they corrupted each one of these files they did use. And, then, when I told them to return all the original stuff I gave them to begin with, they lost all the files in their entirety during an internet transfer through the backend of a new server company they advised me to switch to. Ten years of files gone. Poof! Into thin air.

Yes, of course, I had some backups. Some. I mean, we are talking about going back ten years. If this ‘professional’ had not misrepresented themselves to begin with, I never would have entrusted them to switch my site and all its files to a new server company; and I’d still be at Earthlink where I’d been for 10 years without ever having any major problem where I was left dependent on backups in the first place.

To retrieve files going back a full decade, throughout the Summer I had to travel to the various, spread-out places of storage where all my old computers and hard-drives were kept. Tracking these down and then just unpacking the old hard drives, plugging them in and downloading the files would have been cumbersome enough on its own. But with technology progressing at the rate it has, to get the hard-drives up and running, different hardware connectors, keyboards, mouses and other outdated, no longer produced miscellaneous this and that had to be tracked down, too. In the overall, it was a real time consuming monster.

Due to spending the time to build the site myself, I’ve been limited to how much of the old files I’ve been able to edit and repost (what I was to be doing while the pros rebuilt the site). But as much as I want to have the former, classic stuff up, what is really important is being able to finally move along.

Let's do it!!

When the site fully opens, the Main index page will be the black and white page you’re accustomed to — the Flash graphic with the music and Warrior quote: “You must show no mercy…nor have any belief whatsoever in how others judge you…for your greatness will silence them all.” (Let me credit the person who created that opening Flash page, Mr. Chris Page. Chris has been just awesome in providing assistance when I’ve asked and I never got around to publicly saying how much I’ve appreciated it.) This Main index page will have one link. That link will go to my blog, "Warrior's Machete." At this blog, you will find a link to the Full Blown Warrior Web site. Once it is up, click around and please let me know of any glitches you experience. Be forewarned: if you are using really outdated hardware, software, and old browser versions, you will definitely have problems or be out of luck altogether. The site is functionally built to recent code programming standards. Check your own systems out over the next few days and upgrade them if need be. And don’t write me about what you don’t have and that my site should work around it. I’ve done all I am going to do on the revamp. I have work to do beyond what your own system’s problems may be. Find your own fixes.

From the moment the site fully opens, it will immediately become an Action Center for me to expand on the classical enlightenment and mentoring interests I’ve long talked about pursuing study and learning in.

The consistency of my interactive participation is going to be on a level I’ve never before committed to, or visitors have ever before experienced.
Let me be clear about this. This does not mean I am going to utilize every single interactive forum there is to use. And, of those I ultimately go with, I am not going to implement them all right at the start. I may even begin with some that I decide to drop to try out others. Telling you that I am going to be more committed to consistent interaction than I have ever been does not mean I can be reached or involved, ‘live’ every day. It does not mean I will be using Instant Messenger or that I am going to answer every single email of the hundreds, sometimes thousands, I get everyday. In fact, I will have less time to answer emails — and if you ever get an IM from me, please do me a favor and call the Santa Fe, NM police department and tell my buddies down there to get out to my place really quick and check on my family and I because an impostor is surely sitting in my office, at my computer, posing as me. No, no, no. I’ve never done IM and I never will. Even telephone “call waiting” for me means, “If the line is busy, wait and call back.” What “consistent interaction” does mean is that on every practical business day -- including most government Monday holidays -- there will be input activity at the site in one form or another.

I will post to "Warrior's Machete" everyday, Monday -Friday, IF anything in the daily news, which I intend to look at first to decide, enriches, and assists me with, the broader classical mentoring goals I’ve set for the site. If current news does not, then I won’t.

If I write at greater length about anything, even a recent news event, it will be posted, first, at a page titled “Latest Full Blown Commentary.” When it is replaced with a new commentary post, it will be moved and archived in the “Full Blown Commentary Vault.” Previous commentaries, including those done over the last ten years that are now being edited, will be there in the “Full Blown Commentary Vault,” as well. While the site has been down many of you have written in demanding that the old site be put back up just so you can reread the old commentaries for motivation. Don’t worry, those ‘take-no-prisoners, goosebump-raising” insights will be back up and ready for your visit soon enough.

There will be an Update page to give you just that: only Updates about what new is up at the site or to post immediate bits of information to address appearances, circulating rumors, and Warrior business news I want to make public. There will no longer be long essays on the Update page anymore as there has been in the past.

As it has long been, the site remains divided into three primary areas: Mind, Body and Soul. These are the three most fundamental pillars to the philosophy of life I live by; just as they are for you and every other human being, to be used to build the structure, quality and end-destiny of our lives. If you are not engaging any one of the three in your life, you are never going to reach your full human potential. If you don’t challenge your body with exercise and/or you are overweight or do physically unhealthy things — you won’t. If you are not always challenging your mind to learn new knowledge throughout your whole life — you won’t. If you don’t believe in or are not spending time connecting with the immortality of the soul which animates you — you won’t. We are not alive here on this planet, Created the way we are, just so that we “won’t.” When you choose “won’t,” you lose. Living is not for losing. People ask me constantly, “Warrior, how do you keep such an enthusiasm, high energy, confidence and drive for everyday life and doing new things?” The answer is I never — NEVER, EVER — neglect any one of those three, most fundamental, “innate” elements that make up my human Creation. I am endowed with them and that is the self-evident confirmation for me that they are all three to be used. I am always, both, striving for extreme fulfillment in each individual one and balance of all three; one is always pushing the others even as I rotate which one gets my direct attention. Warrior Web is reopening with me commanding that very thing from the mountain top my OWN positive, productive and happy life is grounded upon. I’m extending to you an invitation that you are always welcome to visit me up there. I can be a voice calling you up, giving you some guidance, but you have to make the climb on your OWN.

At the Welcome page of the new site (the first interior page of the Full Blown site), the text of what previously existed solely as the “Concept” page has been updated to more formally explain the reasons why Warrior Web exists and the significance of its three fold division.

Although the extensiveness will vary, interaction and input of information into all three areas will be regular. In general, more substantive, “weightier” contributions will be rotated among three main areas of the site. That is, if I do a Body podcast, it will follow with one done on either Soul or Mind, then follow with one done on the one of the three that is left to do, and then the rotation will begin again.

A storefront for my relaunched Warrior Wear line will also be open. Wear will be limited in quantity at the beginning, but not quality; inventory will expand with demand. Creative effort and expense were spent, first, on making sure the outsourcing component of it would be superior and apparel was of quality materials, design and production. Having infinite varieties was not my primary concern. You can find out much more once the site opens. Team Warrior America is the First Series of Warrior Wear to be released (Warrior logo as it is at the top of this page).

When the site reopens, I will be also be unveiling the Warrior Web centerpiece which will from here on out be driving all my Actions. I will be launching my OWN Mentoring and Leadership Foundation, “Classical Human Conservatism,” subtitled, “Creation Endowed Conservatism.” Further details will be provided at the site.

Gotta run...I mean it -- I really have to run. Exercise is how I get high. It's thy Warrior's drug of choice.

Your Founding Father of Ring LIFE Intensity.

Always Believe, Warrior
