So I am trying to get a hold of my brother to find out about this place, if it has the two bedrooms next to each other we might be knocking down a wall, which is going to be great. It ghas gotten really bad, we are desperately trying to get out of here, I am even thinking about ditching my car and just driving out there in a UHaul with all our stuff.
We are almost officially moving by next month, and I have to say that I want some comfortable furniture. I was looking online and I saw some leather recliners that I’d like. I’d love to have a leather recliner to sit in and play Halo 3 on my high-def television. I have always loved leather furniture though, and I know Krissy doesn’t want a leather couch, so maybe I could convince her of a leather recliner that would just be my video game chair. We all need that one piece of furniture that is just ours right? Well I would want mine to be a leather chair that reclines.
I’ve been playing Infection on Halo 3 the last few games and it’s really fun. I was a big fan of the user made game Zombies in Halo 2 and Bungie took the idea and made it an in game game type for Halo 3, and the game is pretty much the same, except it is all automatic now, which is nice since you aren’t playing with people who don’t know the rules and therefor won’t change sides.
If you are a student looking for Microsoft products like Microsoft Office 2007, or Windows Vista, then I suggest you go on over to www.CostCaptain. They offer great discounts for students, like the Vista Upgrade for only $89, and all you need to do is provide proof of being a student. What is great that home and internet schools apply as well, so you don’t need to be enrolled in a college or university to enjoy the benefits. Convenient right?
We might be going to New York on Friday and then on Saturday Krissy is going to be taking care of the loan thing. I am not really involved because I couldn’t get one, her father cosigned so it is him and her, I will probably be sleeping while they go to the bank. I just hope I hear some good news when they get back. If we can finally secure the money then next week we will probably be onour way to Ohio once my car is fixed. I have $700 in multiple places of the $900 I need for the repairs, but if we have the loan, I can just use that and use the other money when we are out there so things even out.
A lot of people have told me that I should be a lawyer, mainly because I know a bit aboput the law and I know how to word things to make it appear others are at fault. I don’t know where I get it from, but I do know that there was one piece of advice that a high school teacher gave me. He said “when it comes to the law, there’s always a loophole”. I haven’t really been in trouble with the law, but that advuice has made me look for loopholes all over the place, from contests to public court cases. I’ve even been on some law websites like the Los Angeles Criminal Attorney Blog | California Criminal Defense Lawyers Forum. That website in particular has former Los Angeles Prosecutors blog and discuss issues related to California criminal law, which I think is one of the coolest things in the world. I mean when attorneys can come together on a public forum and discuss strategies and what went wrong in the case, for everyone to see, that to me is the best thing in the world.
Let’s check the September 2007 totals for the website. I am going to point out that these are not my only earnings as I do have a job that I do almost everyday, including weekends, this is just what I do to earn extra money to pay for credit cards and such. The August totals were $665.39, let’s see how September went:
Loud Launch: $15.00
PayPerPost: $579.60
Blogsvertist: $39.50
Text Link Ads: $5.25
Adbrite: 9.20
Private Advertisers: 4.16
The total for September 2007 was $652.71. It is down from last month, but only by a few dollars, so it isn’t that big of a deal. I’ve taken more days off this month, along with my free time being taken up by Halo 3, so I don’t think that is really a big loss considering.
With the potential of buying this place in Ohio, one thing comes to mind. Home repairs. Now I know a little about how to do things around the house, but when it comes to older homes and home repair, knowledge is power. You don’t want to be spending money on a repairman if you could do it yourself. There is a website that will help you become the knowledgable repairman that you know you can be, and you know you want to be. It is called doityourself. With doityourself they offer tips and advice on everything from how to wire older home to replacing the roof. They have over 100 active forums for you to ask a question in, so you never have to feel alone with your projects.
Of course asking and seeing are two separate things, that is why they offer DVDs on how to do things. How many times have you been involved in a project reading what to do, when if you saw somebody do it then you could have probably done it right the first time, instead of paying for your mistakes? The DVDs are a lifesaver when it comes to home improvement projects, even something as simple as changing out a light fixture could be disasterous if you don’t know what you are doing, so having a step by step DVD to show you couldn’t hurt right?
I went to EB Games last night and got a new microphone for my 360. It seems stronger than my previous one, that came witrh my 360, so that is good, plus this one only cost me ten dollars and I had money on a gift card, so technically it was free. I would have liked to get a wireless one, but I don’t have sixty bucks to spend on that right now, especially with a car that could die at any time.
I need to comment my regulars, and I also need to get more people as my regulars. I used to sit down and enjoy reading blogs and the comments people would leave me, but lately I just don’t seem to have the time. Halo 3 takes up some of my time along with Krissy and work, so it doesn’t leave much time. Although I guess you could see this as work with the money I make from blogging and advertisers and such, maybe I will take that into account from now on.
In other news my XBox communicator broke today so I have to go to EB Games tonight and buy a new one.
We got the loan, only instead of twenty, we got eight thousand dollars. It isn’t as much, and I can’t afford a new car with it, but I can afford to get mine fixed, but that is better than nothing right? There are still a few snags in the way, but we were approved for it, so now we just need to get rid of those snags and see what we can do about them.
I’ve been looking at ways to get my credit card balances down, and I think I might get another card and transfer the balances to it so that I have a lower interest rate, although I am not sure yet. I found one where I can get 0% on purchases and transfers within the first six months, and quite frankly that is really not a bad deal at all, so I might do that. The card I found actually gives money to a charitable organization of my choice when I make purchases, so that is good, at least I would be helping people whenever I bought something I needed for myself right?
