Finding Investors

It has always been my dream to own my own business.I’m talking like a startup video game company, or a programming firm. I think I would make a great owner, no matter what kind of business I would run. I’d need the startup capital though. http://www.RaiseCapital is a website where they will help you get in touch with investors. They reportedly have some top investors who aren’t afraid to take risks with their money, especially when promoting small business or startup companies. The pressure to fund your business is immense, but with this site it can take some of the pressure off, which means that you have more time to focus on how your business is run, rather than trying to find investors to fund your operation.

Maybe I would one day make Lep’s Lair a fulltime business. I mean how many bloggers make all their money blogging, and not doing much else? I mean I have always said that this website is far from where I want it to be, maybe I could get it there if eventually I turned it into a fulltime business. At least I know if I ever do that, I have a website that I can go to to help me find investors.

Bluetooth Diabetes

My cousin is diabetic. He has a diabetic pump, instead of insulin shots. I’ve watched him a few times, it is really much more convenient and probably safer than giving him an insulin shot. If you’ve ever seen these pumps then you know that they are expensive. Whenever he plays his Playstation 3, or Nintendo Wii, they need to unplug him. It’s also dangerous for him to be around most cell phones.

You may be asking yourself why he needs to be careful. Well for some reason if he gets in a line of bluetooth his pump fails. My aunt had to go through three different pumps before she realized what was going on. So a little warning to all you bluetooth diabetics out there: make sure your insulin pump doesn’t get messed up with the wireless Bluetooth signals that are being thrown around.

Alzheimer’s Day

Do you know what September 21st is? Well besides being my birthday, it is World Alzheimer’s Day. World Alzheimer’s Day is a day when people come together and help spread Alzheimer’s awareness to others. One way people do it is by throwing a Purple Party. People come together, sometimes paying a fee to get in, that goes to the Alzeimer’s association, and they learn about how it affects other people’s lives, and how it might one day affect their own.

People who throw the parties often register on actionalz, this way they can have their own free webspace for their party, to register guests, discuss the party, help people decide what to bring, whatever the reason. Having a Purple Party on September 21st would be a great way for you to help spread Alzheimer’s awareness.

Any money donated in the month of September will be matched dollar for dollar by The Harrah’s Foundation. That means if people raise $30,000 then the Harrah’s Foundation will put in their own $30,000 all for Alzheimer’s research. Families shouldn’t have to deal with this disease any longer, havign someone you’ve known for years looking at you and not knowing who you are is a horrible feeling. Would you want it to happen to you?

Back to the Comment Sites

I took myself off hiatus with Despair and Excentrique. I should be able to comment on sites again without getting behind, plus it might help with my Alexa and Google ranks.It might even help me get some more advertisers. Now that would be easy money coming in each month. The more money I make, even if it ism just a couple dollars more, the easier I can pay back the credit card and Krissy and I can get out of here.

Sunglasses

I love Ray-ban Sunglasses, the problem with that is they are very expensive. My all time favorite sunglasses are the ones that Morpheus wore in the Matrix, the armless ones. Those are expensive too. Most designer sunglasses are a minimum of $100, so I’ve had to resort to replica sunglasses. They aren’t that bad, they are much cheaper than Wholesale Sunglasses, and they are usually at least the same quality as the name brand ones, sometimes they are better.

Replica sunglasses are a big industry. People are more willing to spend $30 on replica glasses than $300 on designer ones. It makes a lot of sense, if you think about it. I mean someone buys replica’s for $10 and sell them online, or in a store for $30. They aren’t name brand, but they come close to looking like them. It might be an easy way to make money, so maybe I will look more into it and maybe start selling some online, or something.

Money Please

This whole lack of funds, trying to get out to Ohio to even look at the place thing is really taking a toll on Krissy and I. I mean we want to get out there, and even getting out there to move isn’t where the lack of funds is coming from, it is the hotel room to get out there, money to have my car looked at, food, U-Haul, if it was just the lot rent and the mobile home, we’d be all right. I need money, and a payday loan won’t do this time.

Switch to Comcast

I’ve had Comcast since I moved to Delaware. I have to say they aren’t bad. Before I moved, the internet would go out every few days, but Comcast high speed internet has only really gone out once in the two years I have been living here, but it was late at night and it was due to a major upgrade. Comcast has some great deals for new customers, especially for those who decide to get the Comcast triple play (that is high speed internet access, cable television, and telephone). The great thing about cable is that it doesn’t go out when it rains or snows, it is always a nice clear picture, and really fast internet.

I’ve seen satellite in the past, I also know other cable companies, Comcast is simply the best one that you can get. Yesterday I talked about my speeds, and Comcast is much faster than anything I was on before. It seems everyone in the area has Comcast high speed internet, and it never slows down. If it was DSL it would be slow with all the other connections that are on it. If you are looking to make the switch, then I say do it. It will be the best decision you’ll ever make.

One Week

It is T minus one week until Halo 3 comes out. The ending has already been leaked onto the internet. It is pretty much how I anticipated the game to end, if you want to see it then I’m going to leave it up to you to find. There aren’t any major spoilers, but just imagine how it will end, the last cinematic piece, and that’s most likely what you will come up with.

Acne

I’ve always had acne. Sometimes I would have a clear face, and other times it would come back and it would be worse than before. I went to the dermatologist earlier this year and he told me that I have a condition known as body acne (it’s just what it sounds like, acne that is on yuour body). Krissy loves the fact that I have any acne though, she pops the pimples at night while I am sleeping. I don’t feel anything, because once I am out for the night, I am out for good and nothing is going to wake me up. I went to a website about acne myths and they have some myths listed that I thought were true. I thought acne was caused by foods, but apparently it isn’t. They also have myths on there that I had never heard of too, like the myth that acne is caused by too much sex.

I feel as though I know a lot more than I did before about acne and what to do to get rid of it, and what doesn’t actually help the problem at all. If you have acne and don’t know the facts then I suggest you read through the acne myths and get yourself acquainted with the truths about acne.

I Applied for Another Loan

I applied for another loan, and I would have gotten it, but they said if I was freelancing then I had to do it for two years and I had to show the tax returns for it. It sucks, because even though I filed last year, it wasn’t a whole year so they wouldn’t have taken it. I will be sure to file this year and keep everything for proof. It looks like we are here for a little while, but I have a few other ideas on how we can get the money to get out of here. I am not beat yet, nor will I ever be beaten.

Speed Test

I just did an Internet Speed Test. My download speed was 6013 kbps (751.6 KB/sec), while my
upload speed was 357 kbps (44.6 KB/sec). It isn’t bad, I just wish there was a way to get a better upload speed, but a lot of companies charge you a lot of money for for upload speed, whereas download speed is and always has been cheap. Maybe when / if we move the upload speed will be better, at least I can hope so.

One Down One to Go

So as of today, one of my credit cards is paid off. There might be some surcharges, or interest rates next month, but as of right now I have paid off my $500 credit card. Now I canm concentrate on the $2000 one and pay more than just the minimum balance. Maybe I can do it within a year, let’s just hope it happens.
