It's Been a While, But...

I know it has been a while since I was last able to post, but I have myriad excuses for that.  Let me count the ways:


  1. The dog ate my computer.
    Okay, the dog didn't actually eat my computer, but the DVD screwed it up.  Seriously.  It was working last week, but I decided to watch G.I. Joe the movie on there, and when I put it in, the computer completely froze.  So, I decided to restart it, and when I did, it wouldn't boot up.  I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked--including the System Restore.

Wanna Buy Something From a Fish?

Back when I first started my advertising company, Brainiacs Lounge, one of the things I did do distinguish my company from all of the other advertising companies was to think of different advertising vehicles (not the actual vehicles, like the ones you drive, but rather venues or methods to do advertising.  Most companies focus on about five different kinds, but I wanted to have a much larger selection so small businesses could more effectively advertise their company).

I had thought of about two dozen methods, but I still wanted more.  You know, the more you have, the better you can serve your clientele.

Farewell to You, My Small, Disgusting Friends

THEY'RE ALMOST GONE!!!

That's a pretty vague statement.  After I wrote that, I was thinking about all the possibilities of what it could mean, and you know, I doubt that you would be able to guess (without any sort of a hint) what exactly it is I am writing about.

But, if you really want to guess, you're free to do so.  I'll give you a moment to wrack your brain to think of what it may be.  Go ahead and write down your thoughts (or even leave a comment below with what you thought it would be).

Did you take enough time to write them all down?  No?  Alright.  Take some more time.

You good now?  Good.

Giving More Time to You

Welcome to the business idea for the last post!

If you haven't read the last post, well, you may have absolutely no idea to what I'm referring.  That's alright.  Just go back and read the other post.  I won't mind.  Actually, I'll stop writing while you read the last article.

Thinking about it, you wouldn't actually know if I stopped writing, or not, because I could have taken a 20 minute break during that time, but it wouldn't show up because it will publish the entire thing at the same time.  Well, I guess I could publish part now and add to it later, but it will still show as one entire post being published at the last time I published it.  So, forget that I even said that I would stop writing (unless you want to assume that I stopped writing at that point, which if you did assume that, you may continue doing so).

Anyway, back to topic.

Not Enough Time in One Day!

I am almost positive that almost everyone has heard someone say a slight variation of the following complaint: Man, I wish there were more hours in a day.

Well, unless you can slow down the Earth's rotation while keeping gravity the same (because, hey, if the Earth's rotation was slowed down, gravity would most likely decrease, thus causing a whole 'nother post to be written about that!), you're kinda out of luck, foo.

As a slight tangent, I apologize for my ghetto voice coming out earlier in the post.  I usually keep it under strict lock and key, however, due to how late it is tonight, it has managed to open the lock and stick its head out.  But don't worry; I have managed to purchase another lock (this time, it will work!), and my ghetto voice should not rear its ugly head again.

Set Your Sights High-ish

I'm a secretive guy.

I really am a secretive guy.  I may not appear to be so because I'm very talkative (that may be an understatement), but I don't like to talk about things which are important to me.  Actually, writing many of the things in this blog is somewhat difficult for me because I don't like people to know what I'm really thinking.

Anyway, the reason for my statement is that it's a new year, and that means it's time for New Year's Resolutions.  This is a very difficult time for me, because of the whole resolutions thing.

I make resolutions every year, but I rarely write them down for two reasons: I don't want people to know about them, and I'm very superstitious.

Days like Today

I'm sure you've had just "one of those days" before.  You know the ones, where your mind doesn't seem to work at all; where nothing seems to be going as it should; where the best-looking thing is your bed.

You know, just one of those days.

Well, today is just one of those days for me.  I haven't had just one of those days for quite some time.  At least it has been long enough that I don't really recall the last time I had a day like today (that could have been as recent as last week, but I don't remember nor do I care to remember).

So, what qualifies today as "just one of those days"?

Getting Creative with the Hub Caps

When I was younger, my family would drive from Denver to Salt Lake City and back during the summer for family reunions.  Our trips would almost always go via I-80.

For those of you who have never traveled through the stretch of I-80 which runs from Cheyenne to Evanston, don't.  Scratch that.  I would encourage the insomniacs and anyone else who would like to sleep to drive through that stretch of land.  No, wait.  That would make for all sorts of accidents.  Okay, have someone else drive who will NOT fall asleep, and you enjoy the scenery.

Or lack of it.
