2007

As I have stated before, I have had a credit card since shortly after my 18th birthday. I messed up and I got myself in a considerable amount of debt with those credit cards. What is strange is that now, I don’t have a conventional job as some would say, but I am making more money than I did when I was working. Because of that, I think I will be able to get myself out of debt soon, using just money that I have coming in and not using any of the personal loan.

I am going to do it under my own accord, while building my credit rating and not resorting to any bad credit loans. I don’t think they are bad, I just think they are more for someone who only has $2000 worth of debt. If you need help, then they are surely something great, but I don’t think I need that kind of help, or any kind for that matter, I am doing good with money and I should be fine. If I wasn’t though, then I would definitely do something to pay everything back and at the same time get my credit rating up.

They opened a free gym in my complex (really nothing more than an all in one machine, a leg machine, a treadmill and a bike) and I went there last night and worked out. It is opened 24 hours a day, you just go in and work on anything you want then shut the lights off when you leave. Last night I just did my chest (I think) and my arms. Tonight I am planning on going and doing my legs. I figure if I can go every day and alternate then I might be able to gain muscle rather quickly, although most of my body is muscle, the fattest part on me is my stomach, but I am hoping that will go down with some sit ups and eating better.

Do you need money now? Do you have a bill, or did an unexpected expense come up and you don’t have the cash to pay for it? Why not get a Payday Loan? With a Payday loan you can borrow between 100 and 1,500 dollars and pay it back on an agreed day that you make with an agent. With their new Payday loan fee calculator you will be sure that you are getting the best deal by checking the Payday Loan Quotes.

With Christmas coming up, I would get one if I was strapped for cash. I mean if you know you are going to get $400 two days after Christmas, why wouldn’t you take a PayDay loan, jsut so you can get the presents you want for people, then pay it back right away when you have the money? It makes perfect sense to me, but then again if I has taken my own advice I wouldn’t be in debt at 23.

The guy said he would be coming tomorrow to pick up the monitor, the Mac monitor and Mac desktop. Hopefully he shows up, otherwise I will need to find someone else to give it to. In any case that will be a few less things cluttering up the place, and it will hopefully go smoothly. In any event I am going to clean them up and ship them out the front door tomorrow and wait for the guy to get here ioutside, this way he doesn’t have to be in the house.

Everyone loves easy money, and what money is easier than betting? Sure you have a chance of losing, but you also have a 50/50 shot at winning too right? Did you know that you can do sport betting online with bet365? With bet365, you can bet on pool, greyhounds, you can even bet on golf. Maybe betting on sports isn’t for you. If that is the case, then you can bet on games that you play against others. There is the standard betting games like poker and keno, but there is also games that you wouldn’t think of as a betting game, like pinball. It is illegal to be betting on such things in the United States, but if you live most anywhere else in the world, then it is good. Check it out if you want to make some quick cash.

I cleaned the office today, it is still crowded, but it isn’t as bad as it once was. It is filled with stuff like boxes, and air conditioners, and my old monitor. I may be getting rid of that soon though, someone is interested in taking it for their Mac. At least that is one less thing in the office, then maybe I won’t be getting the 360 charging cord tangled in stuff.

One good thing came out of cleaning the office though, Krissy is actually sitting in here working with me. I am fine in here by myself, but having Krissy here and being on my own desktop is a definitely a good thing.

Did you know that there are more than 5 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer’s Disease? How about the fact that every 72 seconds someone develops Alzheimer’s Disease? Did you know that National Memory Screening Day is November 13? If you didn’t know the answers, then maybe you should learn more about it because it can happen to anybody, even as young as 30 years of age.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive form of presenile dementia that is similar to senile dementia except that it usually starts in the 40s or 50s, but might actually start sooner than that. The first symptoms are impaired memory which is followed by impaired thought and speech and finally complete helplessness.

It is scary to think that one day your memory may be completely gone, have no recollection of who anyone is or how they are connected to you. There is treatment though, and like most diseases, the earlier it is caught the better. Find a local screening where you live, and they can help you keep who you are in tact.

While it may be important to start preventing and treating new cases, we also have to remember that there are people in the world who are already in the advanced stages of this. For them it is more important to be comfortable, and to do that you can donate to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. Your donation will help get those who are shadows of their former selves back into the way they used to be. One day that might be you, wouldn’t you want to donate for yourself?

When we were in New York, I forgot to bring my copy of Dreamweaver 8, so I downloaded a demo of Dreamweaver CS3. Up until then I had no idea that CS3 was out. I really like the new Dreamweaver. It loads just like the old one, but it has advanced support for AJAX and CSS. It has all the latest CSS improvements installed, plus the layout is more customizable this time around. The AJAX support, I cannot say how good it is simply because I don’t know. I haven’t played around with AJAX much, but I might be doing that sooner rather than later, especially for some of the things that I need to do for work. I might download Photoshop CS3 to see if it works better on my computer than CS2 did.

Everybody buys things online, from clothing to bathroom fixtures. There shouldn’t be any problem with that, there isn’t any need to go out and find the right product, go to the store, pick it up, hope you can get it home, if it is big. The problem with buying things online is that there isn’t always protection with the product, sometimes it is a take it as you get it kind of deal.

One company is taking a stand against that kind of attitude. iFLOOR is offering a $1,000,000 warranty protection, regardless of if you bought it online or in the store. This isn’t a manufacturer warranty, in fact most manufacturers aren’t giving any warranty if you buy flooring online, and that is illegal. That is why if you buy from iFLOOR and you take the warranty, they reserve the right to sue the manufacturer on behalf of the consumer. This means that you don’t need to shell out the money to sue them, iFLOOR will, but in the meantime you have a warranty on your floors. It is definitely a good day in the flooring world.

Depending on how much work I need to get done today, I am planning on sitting down and watching the Spiderman 3 DVD. While I am watching I will be taking notes and writing the summary for it and putting that in its own section. I will also be taking screen shots and making pictures, maybe putting them up in the pictures section, I am not sure yet. One thing that I would like to do is take pictures of anyone who is in the comic book and put them on the characters page, such as Dr. Connors and Robbie Robertson.

Krissy and I want to get into making pottery again. I used to make bowls in high school and then sell them. It may sound corny, but it was really fun. I originally did it to get out of English, but after I had so much fun the first time, I went back again and again. In order to do it, we would first need a nontoxic clay. A lot of stuff in most ceramic clay makes me break out in hives, so whenever I make anything I either wear gloves, or find children’s safe Ceramic Clays, or even nontoxic Modeling clays that will harden in a kiln would do.

We haven’t just been talking about pottery though, we have been looking for a lot of things to do together. I mean after we move into the place and we have the money there, we don’t just want to be sitting around playing video games. She suggected we go and buy some arts and crafts materials, so we can paint and draw together. I don’t really know how that is done together, but I am willing to give it a try.

[Edit]The money listed here is only what I have made off my website and is not the only amount that I pull in. I have a dependable client in that I am working for, and I also have other sources of income coming in. [/Edit]

I had a pretty good month this month, but honestly I think this might be my last good month for a while. Google changed the way Page Rank is done, and a lot of people got screwed by their new system, I was one of those people. So while I can’t say how much I will make in November, let’s just hope that it is enough to stay afloat. Now onto the totals.

The September 2007 total was $652.71. The totals for October 2007 are as follows:

Loud Launch: $30.00
PayPerPost: $593.86
Blogsvertise: $20.00
Smorty: $36.60
Text Link Ads: $5.25
Adbrite: 16.92
Private Advertisers: 4.16

The total for October 2007 is $702.63. Now that definitely isn’t something to sneeze at. I have joined Smorty this month, so hopefully that will continue to add a few dollars here and there, and I have also joined Shopping Ads, but I am still unsure if I will be keeping them or not, so I am holding off on putting that total up, besides it is very insignificant.
