Just want to keep everyone updated on what my plans are shaping up to be. Going to start off by listing some goals. Then I will explain how I plan on acheiving those goals.
- Go to Europe
- Go to college – preferrably in Europe
- Grow up
Okay number one is most important to me right now. I am currently looking for a second job so I can really make this happen when I have it planned. It is going to be an expensive trip considering how long I want to stay. Right now the only job I can think of to get is pizza delivery. If anyone else has a good idea for a part time job where you can make decent money besides drug dealing, please let me know.
The second item almost kept me from going to Europe because I want it so badly. However I finally decided which I wanted more and here you see it. I still haven’t decided what I want to do or where I want to go to school. Hrmm, perhaps I should go with goal 3 before goal 2 heh. I’d like to know who thinks I made the right decision and who thinks i’m being foolish, so leave a comment and let me know.
In other news I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with the design of the blog. I like the current colors and the layout isnt to bad, but the logo really sucks thanks to yours truly. If anyone know any good graphic designers who could do a logo for me for not to much money, send them my way. Well thats all for now, must get to work!

I finally have a friend who is blogging! She is of course using wordpress and she bought a pretty decent “skin” for it from E.Webscapes which I talked about in this post. So now that I actually have someone bugging me to link to them, I have added a “bloggers” section in which I will put blog’s that I read on a normal basis unless someone requests me not to link to them. Oh and by the way, visit Sashas site!!!

So this guy Jeremy C. Wright is looking to “raise the profile of blogging” … now normally you would think advertising campaign, perhaps a convention, maybe even a nice afterschool special, but not Jeremy. Jeremy is auctioning his “blogging services” on eBay. Now honestly I think this is one of the coolest things and I hope he makes tons of money. As of right now its only at $112.73 but hes got 7 days and 6 hours left as of right now, and as much press as this is gonna get from bloggers i’m sure it will go up.

A friend pointed this out to me today, and I read through and was floored. I think this is fairly rediculous. As I was reading this I was just imagning Bush sitting in his oval office on his iMac or whatever he’s capable of using searching LiveJournal for his name and sending SS kronies out after everyone who says something bad about him. Of course as I read on I found out this was not the case and that someone from LiveJournal reported him to the FBI. Which is just as disturbing actually. Well, i’m sure everyone has thier own opinions and I didn’t see what he actually wrote but I dont think it should have been construed as a threat thats for sure.
