2007

I was showing my mother this online makeover program. You can use it to change your hair style, hair color, facial hair anything really. It is a really nifty tool for seeing how you would look with different physical attributes without the need for plastic surgery. I mean if you are a girl then you have probably said at one point or another, I want that person’s hair, if you are like any of the girls that I know then you would have gone out and gotten it styles or colored like that. Maybe it didn’t come out the way you wanted though, maybe it came out too dark, or it hid your face. Well now you can try it onlineand not have to worry about waiting for it to grow out.

Makeup is a billion dollar industry, now women don’t need to spend money on lipstick that you won’t like on your lips, you can simply test it out on a picture of you that you upload to the site. No more money wasted on stylists, or makeup, only to come to find that you absolutely hate it with a passion. Isn’t that reason alone to give the program a try, after all what do you have to lose?

I used to take guitar lessons at school, and I can somewhat play, or at least fake playing the keyboard. I like music, I would like to get a keyboard that I could hook into the USB port. I used to have one, in fact I wrote the music that was on my old Flash splash page with it. I got really into it after I heard a musician with just a keyboard and some music software put on his website some of the most beautifully orchestrated music I’ve ever heard. I would still like to invest in a keyboard, and maybe even some software so I can make that kind of music, although with my talent it would probably sound like a cat dying.

Bungie has a Halloween playlist up, it is all Infection. Since Halo 2 Infection was one of my favorite games. It is a special treat to have a playlist just for it though, otherwise you need to find someone in a custom game playing it, and with the new interface for Halo 3, you can’t see what kind of games your friends are playing. Even if you couldn’t see what your friends were playing, I just wish there was a way to search for a Custom Game in Halo 3, I mean playing a game of swords would be better if you could have an open party. There seems to be traces of that in the game, and there were hints of it in EGM and GamePro, but I guess it just didn’t make the final cut, or it might be released later on.I will definitely have no complaints if that was the case, though.

It seems that everyone in my family has some sort of hair loss. My mother is losing her hair and my father has never had hair if I remember correctly. To my knowledge both of them have tried hair solutions for them and it didn’t work. This was years ago though, probably the early to mid 90’s, when the internet was still just an inconceivable idea to most people. If they had the internet then they could read reviews on provillus or any other hair loss product they tried.

The internet is a wonderful thing isn’t it? People come together on a website such as trustsource and write reviews to help other consumers by saying what worked and didn’t work for them. I grew up on the internet for the most part, at least for the last few years and before that I wasn’t old enough to care what the reviews were and if something worked or it didn’t, so I don’t know what people did before the internet, but maybe it was just listening to infomercials, but they never say the bad things on there. You don’t need to worry about that with trustsource though, if someone writes a review it goes on the website, regardless of if it worked or not.

I am very excited by this news, James Vanderbilt who recently polished the script for the movie XMen Origins:Wolverine, has been hired to write the script for Spiderman 4. I haven’t seen any of his work, but it seems to me if they hired him for the Wolverine movie, and then hired him again for the Spiderman movie, then he must be good.

I know it is a long shot, but I hope they bring Venom back for the next movie, he was underplayed in the third one, and he is my favorite villain. I can only hope though, but maybe someone in Hollywood or Marvel would see this and realize that now they have showed Venom attaching himself to Spiderman that it would be a great move to make him the main villain, while Spiderman deals with this other villain. I mean Venom knows who he is, he can’t be detected by the Spidey sense, and maybe at the end have him spawn Carnage, and have Spiderman and Venom team up. It would make for a great movie, probably better than Spiderman 3 (great movie, but Sandman was pointless and they changed the whole Spiderman mythos).

Is there a scarier day than
Black Friday? If you work in retail you know how people cram into stores to buy stuff for Christmas and any other holiday they may celebrate. If you are a consumer, then you know you have to be at the store by 3AM on Black Friday so you could get a good deal on all the hot items this year. I know someone who went on Black Friday last year to stand in line to get a Best Buy deal on a television that was almost half off just for that day.

I don’t really like shopping on Black Friday, actually I never officially did it, I worked in a toy store a few years ago on Black Friday and even when I was on my lunch break, trying to buy some food, it was impossible. I will admit though that they do have a lot of good deals in the thanksgiving ads, but trying to find which stores released their ads and then finding one can be just as painful as shopping on Black Friday. All right maybe not, but now you can get emails sent to you when your favorite store reveals their Black Friday ad, so at least it is one less thing for you to worry about this holiday season.

A few days ago I promised that a previous section of my site would be returning. Late last night it did, I have put up my wishlist in the Me section again. This isn’t the previous wishlist though, it is a wishlist from thethingsiwant, which lets me add items from any website that I want, so it isn’t limited to just one website in particular. I figure this would be a good addition because I love seeing what people have on their Amazon wishlists, and this would just be expanding to other sites as well.

I have been to a casino a few times now. I have been up to Dover Downs, Midway Slots, and Atlantic City and the casino really bothers me after a few hours. You have all those people around you, with all that noise, it just gives me a migraine. I just wish I could play in an online casino. The problem with that is that I live in America and most online casinos are illegal now.

Believe me though, if they weren’t illegal here then I would be playing and possibly losing all my money, or possibly winning some. I mean I am good when I am not playing for money, and I am good on a poker machine at a real casino, but I get too cocky and keep going, which results in me losing money. I guess I just need to learn when to get up and move to another machine.

Remember when I paid off my $500 credit card a few months ago, only to have part of the card go back to getting myself a brake job? Well I transferred the remaining balance out of PayPal today and I paid the card off completely. I should have some interest charges, but as long as the card is paid off then I am happy. I am going to keep my hosting payment on the card, but that is all right because it is only $10 a month and will help me build my credit if I pay that back every month in full.

Before I got my car fixed, I was thinking about getting a new one. I would need a loan for a car though, and right now my credit is kind of bad. Of course there is always Stonebridge Auto Lending, which offers bad credit car loans, new car loans, used car loans, auto loan refinancing, and auto lease buyout financing. It might be the way to go, if I really needed a newer, better car, but for right now it doesn’t look like I will be getting a new car. I will keep that website in mind though, for when my car actually does die, this way I will have it.

We aren’t trying to go crazy with the loan money, in fact we haven’t even touched it yet, and probably won’t until we are in Ohio, whenever that may be. Just because we aren’t going crazy, doesn’t mean that we aren’t looking at things we’ve always wanted and seeing if it would be feasible. I’ve been looking at cameras. Digital, film, and video to be exact. See I have always loved taking pictures, and even wanted to be a director growing up, so having a video camera would be great, and a new camera would allow me to take many more pictures. I just need to see how much I will be able to save and spend, but most likely I am going to have to wait until after the holidays.

Despite my little problem with the credit card a bad credit loan company sent me, I have no problem with bad credit loans in general. Everyday more and more people slip into debt and can’t get out. No matter how hard they try they can’t seem to catch a break with their credit cards, mortgages, even student loans. When that happens their credit slips well below average, with not many people to care about their story. That is why I don’t think bad credit loans are a bad thing, they help people who need to be helped. They care about helping you get your credit rating up, so they will give you a card that has an annual fee, but with a low interest rate so you can get on your feet again.
