Friday Has Come Again

So... lately it seems like the weeks just fly by. So much that it seems like the weekend comes faster than the week if that makes any sense? I just really hope it slows down by summer or even spring since I think in about 3 weeks it will be nice weather outside.

So speaking of time flying, do you believe as you get older time goes by faster and faster?

I am starting to believe it does, why? I don't know.
All I know is that my high school years were a blur.
This first year of college is even more of a blur.
I go to school, I go to work, I work on my websites, I ride bike (a lot more soon), and I work out.
That is about all I do too, it isn't anything amazing, you would think time would drag by.
But maybe that is life, once school is done I am suppossed to replace school with a family, work more, hopefully turn my websites into work. And then I can ride bike and work out more also. Life is a conformity, well in a way. Everybody makes life what they want. So nobodies ideal life is the same there will always be a difference.

Some guys want to hook up with as many girls as possible, some guys want to settle down young, some guys just don't want to do anything.

Some guys want to work on trucks and do real man work. Others want to work off the stock market and sit behind a computer relaxing all day, and obviously some guys just don't want to do anything.

Some guys want to work out all do and be healthy and in shape, some guys want to drink and smoke all day, and some guys don't do either, or they try and do both but obviously that causes failure in one or both.

Some guys want to travel the world and see everything there is to see, some guys want to stay in their little place and be content, then the guys who litterally do nothing but sit in their mom's basement...

Some guys want to go to school for tons of years to get a real good job, some guys want to go to school for as little as possible, then the guys who don't go to school at all and work way harder for everything. Or get real lucky and make it without a college education.

Some guys would never committ a crime in their life if they were paid, some guys committ crimes to make themselves feel better or more exciting and get away with it, other guys end up in jail, or do nothing at all ... (Have to keep the common theme going)

So what am I saying here? Everybody leads a different life. It is just what we make of it. Im saying nobody is perfect, everybody has flaws. I am saying you lead your life how you want to lead it, if you want perfect you can have it.
I am just leading it in the best possible way when each confrontation comes forward.

The Mirror Theory

So..
Today I watched a video on global warming in my biology class.
I got thinking about all the different ways to get it so the earth would be cooler.
And I came up with a theory, I don't think it would logistically work, well maybe it would?
They talked about how they would like to put millions of these mirrors in space to float around and reflect the suns rays off into space instead at the earth to lower the temperature before it goes up 2 degrees or so which would throw the worls ecosystem off a bit. However here is my theory that I used from that idea..

If there was a way, to get every house and building in the world to put a mirror on their roof. I am talking something like a 5x5 or something fairly large. Then in more open spaces random mirrors in the feilds, and on wind mills, and the maybe even the tops of cars?
Now woud that would reflect a lot of the suns rays back up into the atmosphere and into space? I don't know... Or would it just bounce back down again because of the atmosphere?
I do know those rays would not be obsorbed into all these places right? Where would they go? I would imagine back up. However, I don't know if that wouldn't make a difference since the rays are already in our atmosphere.
This idea would be a lot more cost effective than the mirrors in space for many obvious reasons.
Maybe if somebody comes accross this that knows something about that stuff could comment on it or something.

That is my blog for the day

Fail

So I think I have failed at finding people.
Well at least finding people who are interested in my random self.
What would you say if I said that this site has 2 subscribers and 23 views?

I would say WOO I feel a challenge...
I need to start pushing this blog in a direction that will make an impact.
How?
When?
I don't really know... I do know that maybe someday words may be all I got haha.
So.
What do I say. What do I do.
Well, I am going to get contraversial... I am going to make people say.. what the ef..

Or am I?

I don't know..

Think about it, I am going to too...
Watch this.

u2 The Saints Are Coming

The Saints Are Coming is a sweet song... I am rocking out to it right now, yes you are imagining somebody headbanging and rocking... but that just gives me a headache.
I am just enjoying the song since it pumps me up!
I gotta put it on my iPod so I can work out to it tonight.. going to be good.
So today is a neutral day, school was.. eh.
I guess, I am really pretty excited on my graphic design class because we are working with typography, and with my other website I really need to work with logos and text a lot more so that is going to be huge I think.
However, here is a predicament? I spelled that wrong. I think...
So I am looking at my website ( BMXunion.com ) and I feel like it needs something fresh for the summer, it needs something visually appealing for even the most hard to please designers.... Now this is a challenge, because A.) it is a pain in the ass working with code when the site is already working just fine and B.)I want it to not seem so damn complex! I mean it is basic but I want white, clean, easy to flow, cool text, and the most challenging part for me, is the new banner/header/logo to rock (which I need to fix for this site) but I want it to be original and appealing to me.
I just like change too much and want something new too frequently.
I need this to go over well.
I need to really know how I want it to be, because it needs to be a quick, flawless, smooth transfer from one layout into the new one in a matter of minutes, just so it is a surprise, and it doesn't require a bunch of changing while people have time to point out the flaws that are in the fixing.
... However, the challenge will be fun. I am sure you will be informed of when this will happen.

So moving on, yesterday at work was intersting... There is a lot of talk of getting the assistant manager to quit since he sucks and nobody can handle it. However, we need somebody to replace him. Then my manager brought in a proposal to make me the senior sales, which basically gives me all the same roles as the assistant manager, I just wouldn't ever have to close, and rarely open, and would mostly just rock the mid day shift. Which would be awesome this summer.. I would really like to do that since the money would be good and it wouldn't hurt to have a few more important things to add to my resume..
But that is just a possibility.. who knows where it will go. This too will be informed of when and if it happens.
For shizzle.

Okay, so off to find some ideas for layouts and everything for this new lay out for the other site.

GOOD DAY TO YOU!

To Write Or Not To Write

That is the question today.
I really feel like today is just one of those days when you just gotta say slacking is my middle name and lazy is my game.
I don't think anybody has ever said that before, so don't quote me... well actually quote me, just make sure you mention I came up with it. That is if I did come up with it.
Wow I am terrible, seriously, I cannot believe you are reading this.
Seriously though, I am just kidding.
So today I saw something quite unique while working at the gym I work at. A guy who I am sure is just happy and satisifed who just doesn't give a flying f.......
uh lets keep this pg today. what people think of him. This is awesome because this guy was running around the track in a wrestling uniform looking thing but for the cycling stuff. It was pretty awesome, the thing like cut off below his belly button and basically just straps over his should haha.
He was running and I have never seen so many people just crack up or start talking it was so awesome. Nobody complained, nobody did anything but laugh it was so amazing.
So I have been just on and off writing this..
I wish I could write about who or what is on my mind right now, but that would be a little awkward and this isn't exactly an anonymous blog haha. But let me tell you what.. it's a confusing one.
SO lets see, I am watching the end of dumb and dumber, a classic..
So that leads me to my next point... Think about the modern day classic movies now days, no not the old movies that are ancient. I am talking like late 80's to mid 90's. Do the movies "The Goonies" or "The Sandlot" come to mind? What about movies like Dumb and Dumber..
They are for sure clas... holy god, just the end of dumb and dumber with the bakini girls.. sorry..
okay They are for sure classics in modern day, think about movies like Grump Old Men, or that whole deal, Are those movies were going to watch and love when were getting old, and our kids are going to say "what in the world is that? Its so old!" Haha I don't know, maybe it is just me, maybe I am just a thinker.
That Comedian Nick Swardson makes a super good point..

(starting at 1:38 is my point)

Old People now compared to like 50 years from now old people (Ill be 70 then)... They will be so different, we will be listening to stuff like Snoop Dog and stuff with our grandkids in the back seat, going what is a hoe?!? haha I love it.

haha so classic. How I get to this point I don't know. I do know I think about this kind of stuff all the time it is so weird.

I am weird.

Aaron Carter is BUSTED: My perspective

Aaron Carter was busted with 2 ounces of weed yesterday I guess

http://www.tmz.com/2008/02/21/aaron-carter-busted-with-a-lot-of-pot/

How funny is that. See I don't get why celebrities are SOOOO stupid! They get all this money and waste it on the dumbest things they could possibly do with it. Think about it, you have multi-million dollar records, lots of money right. So heres the delima, what do you do with the money?
Well let me just show you what the logical things are to do with it.
Buy a big house, a bunch of cars, and a hooker then go on MTV cribs.
Buy a vacation house, a bunch of cars, and a hooker for that.
Buy a personal jet and pilot to fly all over the world and experience things you never have before.
Buy a boat and live out on the ocean for a while. Make sure you bring a hooker it could get lonely!
Buy a whole bunch of stock and rebound the economy single handedly!
Buy your hookers boob jobs.
Buy yourself the most outfits you could ever have, and you hookers if your nice, then after you wear them once donate them to the homeless... not the garbage like those idiots on MTV cribs who wear shoes and shirts once then throw them.
....
heres a logical one!
If you are so damn bored, go door to door and give your money to people who are in need, you know, the people who are losing their jobs, their houses, and everything you could care less about having since you have 5 others? (minus the jobs you lazy ass)
Donate your money to cancer research, hey look you were the reason they discovered the cures of cancer... weirrrrrd.
Donate your money to STD research, hey look you can clear up your herpes you got from those hookers!.... weirrrrrd.
Here is a game, Donate ALL your stuff to all sorts of research, and people in need programs, and everything, clothes, money, cars, EVERYTHING.... Then start completely over from nothing and see if you can raise to stardum again and make millions. I am thinking the first time was a fluke.
Maybe I don't like Aaron Carter because hes an idiot, maybe I don't like him because hes wasting his money on the worst things ever, maybe I don't like him because he just always annoyed me.
But I do know, if your going to be a super star, don't be an idiot.
THERE YA GO THATS MY BLOG FOR THE DAY! Take it!

I am a bad influence

I am a bad influence for one reason and one reason only...
If I really feel the urge, I can make people believe anything.
I mean I don't lie to get me out of trouble or anything, but I do like to have fun with people sometimes... and today was one of those days.
So.
I am working today at one of my jobs and it is at a mall. We were re-organizing the store and I was pretty much well drained and bored. We had these stickers from the boxes that said "Floorset" and my manager hands me them and says heres some stickers we don't need, throw them away or whatever. I look at my cell phone and it looks about the time the high school and kids in general are getting out of school and will be there to be annoying. So I say you know what, I bet I can convience a kid that "Floorset" is a band. She just laughs and goes right...

So the perfect oppertunity, a bunch of those emo scene kids, you know the annoying ones who try to be different but end up all being the same, tight pants, a lot of black and weird crap..
Example:



yeah well that was my target. This kid is cocking off being stupid thinking he's funny. I am like "hey do you like music" the kid is like "yeah I love it!" and I was like well have you ever heard of the band "floorset" and he is like, "No where are they from" I said "They are from the cities, they came in today and had a million stickers to give away and I don't know what to do with them, do you want them?"... and that was all it took and the kid goes "oh sweet! I am going to check them out tonight"... haha go fo it kid.

I know it was mean and cruel but come on!!!!!!! you know it is funny. I am amazing, it is a gift. Your jealous.

So... now you know, if it is too good to be true, it probably is.

At least if it is coming from me.

Big Things!

So... Have you ever had one of those moments where you know what your doing is real good.
Well in the last 24 hours I have accomplished that by about a million... well maybe not.

But for my other website BMXunion.com I posted an interview with a guy I know who is super talented, yet has had little to no coverage, and because of that I may have gotten him about 3-10,000 views depending on who all clicks that stuff from another website.. Which I know for a fact could do amazing things for him..

I also did an interview with a big time pro who I have been stoked on for years and it was so awesome, it turned out great an a lot of people are stoked on it.
I am stoked haha

I also am doing promo stuff for another website that just kicked up which is super cool because I like being apart of new things and seeing them grow! So awesome...

It is so weird how if you really really want something, I mean really want something you can make it happen.
I never understood how people could say "If you really want something, make it happen." That is so broad and impossible to comprehend almost, except lately I have really understood that. I feel like there is nothing that says I cannot do what I want in life.

Well Minus the whole doctor thing since that requires a lot of stuff and you can get in deep for practicing without proper education and experience etc.

However I wouldn't want to be a doctor since that is just one of those things that I could not handle, I am not a fan of being around sick and dying people, I am squeemish around broken bones, I cannot handle angry parents! haha.

I will accomplish something amazing, and it will be awesome. My goal, have people from high school who talked bad about me (which I could name a few) and make them really look like idiots =) I know I am shallowish.

That is my blab today... I mean Blog

Today is Wednesday

Today is Wednesday and it sucks. Why?
I don't really know, I just feel the urge to complain.
I have class in an hour and 15 minutes or so, but I am for sure in my pajamas still.
I am listening to Take A Look At Me Now by The Postal Service.
Music is super weird because okay I will admit something here.
Have you ever been in your car driving, and a song you have never heard before comes on? Well obviously yes, because there is about 10000 new songs everyday it seems.
But I have this problem, I think I am going to name is unlyrical disorter.
My new disorder is when a person heres a song for the first time and trys to sing along with it, even though they have no idea what is to come.
Haha, yes, I do that all the time, it is not good and I catch myself doing it.
The worst is that what comes out of my mouth isn't even words, well it might be, but it isn't english haha. Hey! Don't judge me! I do a lot of driving and it gets boring.

Speaking of music, I am listening to Shambala by Three Dog Night and well, I know the words to that! I know, weird right?

So last night I was laying in bed flopping all over the place because I am possibly going to Las Vegas next fall for like a week or something for this Bicycle Trade Show known as InterBike. Basically it is the biggest show for seeing all the new products companies have for bikes, esspecially BMX. However, along with this show there is Nora Cup which is basically the awards show for BMX dudes. It's a really awesome time I have been told, and being invited by a lot of pros and companies because my other website makes it even harder to not go. I want to see friends I have met over the years and stuff. I know I can afford it and everything, I just have to not let myself talk myself out of it.
Why? Because I am afraid of flying, if only you knew why. I cannot say.
I am sorry.
But I think for this I will be facing some fears and doing it. I am sure sometime in September I will talk all about it.

So, is anybody going to leave a comment when they stop by? I have had 11 unqiue visitors and 4 subscribers, so apparently somebody reads this.
I just want to appologize for my excessive randomness, it is a gift that I recieved after 4 or so pretty solid concussions from riding bike and other stupid things I did as a kid. You know you love it.

Well I need to shower and go to class, so check back tomorrow I am sure at some point I will post something.. oooh actually.. okay never mind I only have one class tomorrow and I work at noon so I will have time in between and such.

Sooooooo PEACE!

HTML

Okay, so as I was clicking "Publish Post" for my last post, I got thinking about HTML and all the sudden it reminded me of myself teaching myself HTML. However when I did this a few years ago, a lot of the other formats of HTML were less popular, like XML which is very commonly used on Blogger beta layouts.

So I was just thinking, and it was weird how I pieced together HTML as a 15 year old kid who had no knowlege of HTML, web design, photoshop, video editing, anything like that. I just taught myself it. Think about that, people pay tons of money at college to learn that stuff and because of the internet I just learned it like an independant study. So maybe if your sitting here going, how do you teach yourself HTML? I will let you in on my keys to sucess.

There are a few websites I visited quite frequently at the time when I was just starting out and I still go to on occassion now even to find something I cannot remember.
My first favorite is Web Monkey they have this really great Cheat Sheet that basically gives you all of the basic tags to work with. Then they got advance tutorials and how to's on a ton of other things, for example I am thinking frames and such right now.

The other website I used, not as often because at 15 or so I found it confusing was HTML goodies this was a great site for the complex codes I was looking to use or figure out. I think this was the site I learned how to use I- Frames and other things which are a pain in the ass trying to figure out the first few times.

The best part about these two websites is over the years they haven't changed a lot, I mean yeah there is new content but they are basically the same as they always have been.

For photoshop tricks and tutorials, thats just it, take that and plug it into Google and that is all there is to do, is go through the hundreds of pages and see tons of different things you can do, and replicate it in your own way.

For Adobe Premier for editing videos I did the same with Google, that was the best thing you can do, just take the version of your editor and put "how to's" or something in there and there will be hundreds of pages on tricks and tips it's real cool.

I kind of got side tracked on this so it ended up being not that exciting, but maybe those ideas will help you put together a solid website or blog.

Gluegle

This post probably has nothing to do with Google at all, but if Google comes into play, it will be off a random thought, like how sometimes I feel I might be getting screwed on my adsense account at times. I might be wrong, which is more of a garuntee than a might, because if Google was screwing people over with adsense, don't you think those people whose lives revolve around adsense would notice?

Shazam, just like that I go into a ramble I didn't even plan.
So today is Tuesday, I am sick, my classes are cancelled for the day because of a "administration day" or something, whatever saves me time on having to go to class right?
It is a bummer because lately this cold/flu stuff has been going around a lot lately, like evvvvverybody is getting sick it seems like, including myself. Well, yeah I mean I got the stuffy nose, and the sore throat, and the rediculously dry lips, and last night I had a pretty major headache, but I am sure that is from riding bike (yes, I go ride bmx in the winter at an indoor place and it was not the best idea yesterday). So everyone is sick, and winter is coming close to an end I THINK. F-it

Eric Prydz has a song called "Call On Me" and it is very addicting. This is a problem because for some unknown reason I feel the urge to listen to it over and over again, and its just a techno song where he repeats "call on me" over and over and over again which usually I would find annoying but I don't for this one that is why it is also a problem. However, go listen to it you wont. Eric Prydz Myspace

So have you ever had a dream, and you know it is a dream, but you just let it keep going. I did that last night, I don't usually remember dreams I remember. That reminds me I have to hit up Facebook and tell a friend they were in my dream haha. But yeah so I let this dream go on, it had a few people I Haven't seen in a long time in it and it was really random and it was with some bike stuff so I won't go any further to explain it. However I got to this point where I had to say "okay time to wake up" because it got super weird. This random kid was being a complete idiot and it was messing up my dream and then out of no where Homer Simpson pops out of no where, and then I don't remember why but he began to multiply into a ton of mini Homers. That is when I said okay time to pull the plug haha. Really random and I don't know why I even had that thought process pop into my supconscience brain.

Snow

So I live a pretty interesting life...

Not.

Okay so since I really have nothing too amazing to share I will explain my day, beware this might be interesting.
So I started my morning off waking up before my alarm since I have been trained to wake up at the latest of 8 a.m due to school, which sucks. So I am up bright and early, do my thing with the websites and keep up with the latest news and such, check my emails, blah blah blah. I get ready and head to work. I work part time at a pac sun store at the mall. It is pretty chill, real easy, and if I wanted to I could probably be higher up there, but I choose not to because I do not want to end up being there for a long time. So I do the whole work thing.. ladee dee dah..
oh I forgot to mention it had snowed last night, a solid 5 inches, so driving to work was interesting. Driving in Minnesota goes like this, there is summer, and there is winter, summer is easy, winter is easy. However, winter is not easy for a lot of people apparently since it is like the world is coming to an end when people drive in snow around here. Okay so work is done.

I do my thing, check my mail and everything, line up some dvd reviews possibly, and I am off again. I head to my friends house, we jump online and play some Call of Duty 4 on his Play Station 3. If you have never played a video game online, don't, it is a terrible addiction. So we are playing, our best friend (were like a tripod) is in the air force and was also playing over in Washington with us, gotta love technology. So my friend goes out to shovel his driveway and my other friend suggests I change his user name tag to [FAG] as a joke, well little did I think this would bring a lot of entertainment. Immediately the first game I go to the first thing I hear over the microphone is "You a fag?"... I respond "whats wrong with being gay?"... I would like to clarify I am not gay, I just do not have a problem with them and find it stupid people do have a problem with it. So we proceed to piss off this 25 year old guy who hates gays and apparently had no come backs besides what a middle school kid would have, we had the whole game of people laughing at this guy while he dug deeper and deeper into his pathetic e-thugging life (An e-thug is a term my friend invented for those tough guys who talk tough on the internet and never back it up)...
Finally my friend is done shoveling and he gets the story and we then go to B-Dubs to meet up with some friends to watch the Wild hockey game and eat some food (the wild won in over time with 4 seconds left, intense!) And that would be it.

We all head back to my friends house and watch Lucky Number Shlevin (sp?) and wow, I have never seen it before and I found it awesome. I really am stuck on this "Ataraxia" it is basically when a person has no fear or aniexties, nor do they ever. It is like a old ancient greek thing that I guess cannot be proved to be real or not but I would really like to try and practice that because I would find it amazing to be completely cool and calm in the most intense situations in life. I guess sometimes you get intregued by different things....

Now I am here typing away for god knows who reads this stuff, but maybe someday it will catch on right?

Good Night

Party

So your sitting at a party, a ton of people you don't know, and a few people you do know.
What do you do to make yourself stand out and get to know people?
Or are you the type of person who doesn't want to be noticed and just kind of stick to the people you already know?
....
Well that just isn't me, I am an attention whore and I am always standing out, well at least I try to.
So tonight I am at a party at this house I have been to a few times, so I kind of expected to know a few people. I did know a few people but about 85-90% of the people I had never met or seen in my life so I immediately got a few awkward stares from people who did not know me. I break ice like celebrities break the law, it is innevitable and it will be pretty unorthodox or embarassing.

I am 90% sure I just spelled two out of the 3 big words I just used in that last sentence.

So my first option, since I have been there before and know these dudes have like 100000 channels on their tv, is do something I have done before to get reactions. What is this you might say? well, porn, yes porn. What is the reaction you get when you have a bunch of people drinking and porn turns on? Well, I will tell you the guys get all wild and start yelling and high fiving asking who turned it on, and guess what, girls laugh and don't actually get offended like you would imagine. So of course I raise my hand and go "It was me, I am sorry it just had to be done." I get high fives all around and it keeps people entertained for a while.

Option two, which I also did, is introduce myself to random people, talk about awkward. When and how often do you find yourself walking up to a random person and just pop into a random conversation? I have realized not many people are gifted with this... well gift that I have. I have this thing where, I realized if you are ever going to be remembered you have to do one thing and one thing only, stand out. For some people this is easy because they are good looking or something amazing as that, well that just isn't me.
So I do random stuff, and it usually ends up being kind of funny. For example, my first week of college, didn't know a whole lot of people, and this one girl who was just gorgeous I kept seeing, it was a little weird since she was on crutches (which I later found out was from ACL surgery). So one day my friend and I were just sitting around between classes and I point this girl out and he goes oh I know the guy shes talking to, so immediately I don't think, I say yell down to your friend and I will do the rest. He yells the guys name, they both look, and without missing a step I yell "Hey crutches! I think your pretty cute!" and that was it, a lot of people gave me a weird stare but seriously, she ended up coming and talking to me, and were kind of friends? haha well sure it didn't go completely to plan, but when were talking and a person comes up the story of how we met ALWAYS comes up. Think about it... weird, and wacky sometimes is a good option, it just cannot be what the term I like to use is "super creeper".

So, now I get to go on all day about what a "super creeper" is. Well everybody in their life has experienced one of these charactors I classify as a super creeper. These are the dudes or even possibly girls that are awkward and tend to make things super uncomfortable, for example, a guy who comes into my work and always is looking for this girl I work for, so they talk from time to time because she feels bad for him, and then the guy thinks they are dating, she says no, and he gets weirder, two days later he says "this relationship isn't working out for me I am going to have to end it" would be a form of super creeper, also just the dudes who tend to stalk and do a little too much in general to be that guy. Kapish? (I am 99.563% sure I spelled that one wrong also).


Goodnight

Money Makes The World Go Around

Have you ever thought about where you might be in 5 years? How accomplished you might be? or what you might want to be? Well I get to think about this question a lot, because I ask it pretty frequently on my other website BMXunion.com because well, imagine having a profession that if something goes wrong and you get hurt, your done, and you have to figure out what you want to do with your life. At least it is for professional sports, especially BMX since pro careers typically are short.

So I was thinking about all the things I like to do, and if I will be able to get away with doing those things in a few years. Then I got thinking, what am I going to do when I get done with school... Going for Business Administration basically allows me to do a large number of jobs. Then I got thinking, would I be married? would I want to be? What if I had a kid!?! It is a scary thought...

Then its like, what if something happens, my identity gets stolen or something and everything is taken from me? I mean I don't have much right now since I am a college student who rides BMX and doesn't need a lot of money to survive. But I mean you see the commercials all the time where people are telling you "buy this to protect your identity" ya know? But I don't see that happening I am just saying...

But then on the flip side I got thinking, with the way my life has been going lately I could end up doing something completely different! Ya know, like what if I won the lottery, or came into a huge sum of money that allowed me to just hang back and not have to worry? What would I do then? I mean... whoever said "It takes money to make money." was not lying. I know a company that two people came together to make, one was a veryu sucessful business owner, and the other was a very sucessful sales person. They took their money, started this company, and probably two months later they have over $1,000,000 in sales. That couldn't have happend if they did not have money to get it started ya know?

So maybe if I came accross some money I could do something bigger you know? So it's just weird how life can go... I mean I have always wanted to write a book or do something that would just leave my name out there long after I am gone that impacts the world.



That video kind of motivates me in a way. Think about it, the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, will. I don't know how I could change the world, but I think I can. I mean it's obviously not just going to be one of those.. "Hey thats what I can do" situations, but maybe right? I think that some people are meant to be that quiet person who just does what it takes to make it sucessful... but what if there is something beyond sucess? Like, Bill Gates is above sucess.. Or Lance Armstrong is above Sucess. Think about how common those names are? EVERYONE knows who they are..

What if I did that? I mean I am sure anybody could do it.
So that is my blog of the day. Were up to 3 readers now which is cool.

Cops

Cops are good, but cops can also be bad. Don't get me wrong... well first let me just talk about the good. In the city I live in cops are usually pretty cool. I have met a few who straight up seem like the guys out of SuperBad, but still responcible. I about died when I met them out of shock that cops were actually really cool. I wish I could tell the story, but it is long, and revolved around BMX and you wouldn't care anyways... well you would think it was cool but whatever...

I also have some friends who are going to be cops. I think 3 or 4... One of my best friends is going to be cop at some point, he surprises me with how much stuff he actually knows all the time. I think its cool, they are all cool people, and I respect cops more because my friends are involved with that whole career profession.

However, then there are times when cops drive me insane. For example:


Now, I don't know exactly why the cop had come over to them, they could have yelled pig or something for all I know. However, the kid is 14 years old! They are young and stupid. How many people have first handedly realized you are getting older by seeing younger people, esspecially in high school I realized this a lot. This cop goes way out of control and yelling at this kid because he said "dude"... whoops! It really makes me laugh that he took his skateboard, when in reality that "dude" could not taken it for probably cause or a real reason. I just about died how hes like, "your parents must not put there foot to your ass enough".... well lets see, isn't that Child Abuse? no? anybody? Shocking haha. This cop is insane and crazy...

Then my next point at the very end "you better not be filming!" why not? as far as I know it is not illegal, if anything cops should always be filmed to make sure they are doing there job, and have funny stuff for the show "cops"... I never make time to watch that show anymore...

Back to my point.. Cops don't have a right to act like an asshole, this one was and guess what? He got suspended, and with this video getting all over youtube and everything, hes probably going to get fired or in more trouble than he already is in since this is just rediculous.


Thats it.

Blogging to make money

Blogging to make money is a great great thing.
However blogging to make money is difficult. There is a 95% chance that your idea or blog, has 20 other ones who are better, or have a bigger fan base that will beat yours out anyday.
I mean being original now days is impossible... almost, I mean people have ideas, but with over 6 billion people on the planet earth, I am sure SOMEBODY has had a same idea as me. I don't know what, nor can I prove it... but I am sure somebody has the idea.

Then again, how could somebody do what I am doing here. rambling on,(with my eyes closed because I am tired) talking about stuff people might read and go, wow this was a bad idea haha.

back to my main point of blogging to make money.
I know there are people out there who pull in massive checks every month from Google with a lot of numbers or zeros. It all comes down to your dedication to creativity.

What did he just say?
Dedication to creativity?
Yes, I just made it up right here on the spot. Shaaaaaaazam.
Basically my idea means, if you have a creative idea, it will stand out, and people will want to see it or even become apart of it. However, it takes the dedication to the idea, ideas, or whatever, it could just make you money.

There is a lot of money in this world, and a lot of money up for grabs, if you just look around you can find ways to make it. I mean I posted stuff up on a website for money from a friend with a site that has a lot of hits everyday. No idea how that worked out in my way but it did. That just proves also...

If you want something, go for it, do it. Obviously I suggest the legal way of accomplishing it. There is no reason somebody cannot do something. Everyone deserves the chance, it is just if they can pull it off with the best results possible.

So don't just go make some random stupid blog or website so you can make the money. If you want it, do something worthwhile and make a solid thing that has nothing to do with the 2000000 sites who offer you ways to make money. Everyones life is interesting, it is just how you display it that gets peoples attention!

Valentines Day

Valentines Day is a joke! Haha, well actually isn't EVERY holiday a joke now days?

Halloween is talked about for two weeks before the day, hyped up holiday for kids to get high on sugar, girls to dress like sluts, guys to look at the "slutty" girls, and usually for the upper teens early twenties, to get drunk.. WOOHOO..

Christmas.. Holy crap, since when is one day a whole month and a half almost two months long!? Have you ever worked retail? If you say yes, you can understand a completely agree with me on this. If you haven't you MIGHT understand this. People shop, a lot of people shop in this time period. I am not going to say thats bad, it boosts the economy. But seriously people are insane, the day after Thanksgiving/pre-christmas shopping sale A.K.A Black Friday. Yarf.

Thanksgiving is a good holiday, one day, not a ton of hype, just get to eat and get your fat on, and take a nap! AWESOME, why can't all holidays be like that?

My birthday... yeah it is a holiday.. well actually no, I wish it was.. but seriously, it is. I was born on election day haha. This is pretty much a holiday since.. woah woah revelation, VOTING is a 4 year freaking thing leading up to the day itself. Politicians argue for 4 years with the same people, over the same stuff, spending tons of money on their self promotion to become president. Sweet.

Valentines Day... is not even a holiday I seriously today woke up to about 5 text messages from friends with the "happy valentines day".. or something a little more creative for that, otherwise nothing, my day was normal, not even a feast! haha. I worked out, then rode my bike, then just was lazy and started blogging away. Nothing comes out of Valentines day, besides depression, girls getting knocked up, and stuff? Who knows. I am bitter I know haha.

/end rant?

This was almost a pointless post but guess what! It's getting posted!

Recover from procrastination

Procrastination is something I am good at. I was good at it in high school, and now in college too! How does somebody go about recovering... well... I don't know how exactly. However, I do know that for me, I get itches to get something done, obviously this blog was one of them. Look at the last post that was November 2007... It is February 14th 2008... 2 months later and I am back! hopefully to make this work out this time around.

I wish I knew where this blog was going, but guess what people, I have no idea! I am lost. I am sorry if this just rambles on and on but I am sure I will make a good point at some time.

I am watching the Colbert Report right now, and I am thinking about how he isn't running for president anymore... Maybe I am crazy, but was I the only person who thought it wouldn't be bad if he was? I mean the government takes everything super serious. I heard they wanted to put LAWS on the INTERNET... I think his attitude would help fix the dry, boring, old people that are currently running the differnt branches of government. I can't imagine the economy will be getting any shittier (pardon my french).

SPEAKING OF ECONOMY... I might not be that old, nor understand the STOCK MARKET all that well, but I do know it is possible to make some solid money from that. People, it is a risk, but it is not a risk like a casino, if you do your research you will be able to make some solid cash. I put $5000 into Fastenal a few months ago, it blasted up $10 more than I paid for each share, which in the end had me at about $1200 in money for just putting money into it... However, due to the winter it went back down and I am about level with what I paid for it, but the company does most of it's sales in the summer so it is expected to blast back up plus some, since each year the trend is, summer it goes high, winter low, but each summer it goes higher.
So hopefully this summer if I decide to pull those 120ish shares I have I will have some easy cash for money I had just sitting in my bank account with a weak interest rate anyways.

I have some plans for a major investment in a company soon, I cannot and will not say what it is for, how much, or anything like that, but if it all works out to planned.... I am going to stop there since I don't even know why I am talking about this!

Roger Clemens is an idiot.. "I don't even know what a vegan is." in his little trial about using the roids they asked if he was a vegitarian, and then immediately after they asked if he was a vegan ever, and no, he had no idea that it was just a more (crazier) form of vegetarianism. Which if I may say, I am not either, nor could you pay me enough to be vegan, it would take a lot to get me to be a vegetarian for a week even!

Haha, how awesome is this post? I am sorry for all the rambling, I will try and make some sense of a solid post soon.
