Watching her make a Y incision.

I much rather attempt the time honored practice of body piercing and maybe some old fashion prison tattooing, with my left hand, unassisted, than go through another tutorial. The whole business is complicated past endurance and I'm just too lazy to go through it. I'm not really lazy, is just that this stuff bores me to the point I want to take up arms and go on some sort of protest, anything to kill the monotony of it all. I have to say it isn't the fault of the writers, they do an excellent jo

I've been reading adventure novels.

------------- Activating Cloaking Device ------------- I'm about to start a friendly tousle with Dictionary.com - I'm keeping it friendly while still getting the results I want and because I come from the foreign land of the unusual (postage code ODD) I wrote it this way. I composed this email shortly after I woke-up, while having a bitter cup of coffee, and because Mrs. Greene's teachings are once again vivid on my mind, I'm going to wait a few hours before I se

Voted most likely to get shot.

I remember it well. It was late into my senior year with graduation looming over us just a few weeks ahead. I was sitting uncharacteristically quiet at Mrs. Greene's hour of pain. We had a love but mostly hate relationship, Mrs. Greene and I. She knew that for all I cared, Hamlet and Horatio could have been in the inky darkness of space doing the cabbage patch, it mattered none to me. I did, however, take notice when the conversation turned to the yearbook. This is the moment that really st

While we have this moment alone.

One of the things I admire about you all is your relentless strides forward, learning, teaching, figuring out things, warning each other of possible pitfalls. Is quite inspiring and more than a little addictive to read. I expect that long lasting friendships are easily forged under the very expansive roof of Wealthy Affiliate. I've come across a few members whom I will always seek to read their latest blog posts. Some of you can really stitch words together and others speak with such authority

The bread to spread your butter on.

All the technical details aside, not giving SEOs a second thought, not worrying about if we picked the right niche, or just how catchy our site name is, I ask of you to write fifty well connected words. I know that fifty words does not an article make, do it anyway, get into the habit of at least those fifty words. Grammar be damn. Spelling be damn. Just two things matter; that it makes sense to you and that one word fits well with the one coming after it. I'll tell you why, it is exactly in th

My process for choosing the right domain name.

This morning I started brainstorming but could not find a domain name that suited my style, so I did what always do, I opened MS Word and typed every word that came to mind, by the time I finished I had a fifty-six word list, including some primo profanity combinations. Compiled list in hand (minus profanity) and copious amounts of coffee, I paid a visit to that friendly place we are all well acquainted with; Google. I searched many, many combinations yet still could not come up with a one word

What do you really want?

What do you really want? If your answer is financial freedom then I say that's too broad of an answer. Like a good niche, this answer has to be somewhat more focused. Personally, I have the not so greedy wish to stop working for others. I want that all of my efforts are solely for the benefit of my children and myself, seems fair, right? If however, I feel that I want to share the fruits of my hard work, this decision should be up to me, because I wish it and not because I'm without choice. I w

We are to become writers.

In the short time that I've been a part of Wealthy Affiliate, I've come to love and respect the place, there is no way I can deny it. In the last five days I've learned and taken more action in any business endeavor than ever before in my life. Not only making me online-wiser but, the site has manage to instill in me the confidence that I'm not alone and that it can be done. Although, I've only completed the Online Entrepreneur Certification - Getting Started (Level 1), it is clear that our gre

The Niche.

It didn't take me long to choose a niche. I want to talk, write, and discuss animated films. What an amazing concept it is to capitalize from something one enjoys, mind blowing, really. The thought that I can make a living offering my opinion, in a forum of my own, on a subject that I enjoy, is opposite to everything I was ever taught it takes to make a living. I'm sure that I can find a couple of dozen things to say about an animated film, a scene, the actors, director, scores; the list can be
