I just watched Pirates of the Carribean for the first time. We are going to start watching the second one in a few minutes and then the last one we will watch tomorrow. I hadn’t seen any of them up until now and I have to say that it was good. A lot better than I had expected. Johnny Depp is a good actor and Orlando Bloom and him bounce off each other very nicely. If anyone hasn’t seen it (was I the last one?) then I suggest you watch it, it is a very good movie.
You always see fundraisers for high school sports teams. Why don’t people provide fundraising for something important like sending people to college, or building a homeless shelter in the town? I have thought about starting my own so that I could raise money and go back to school. I think that if it for a good cause then people might be more eager to give over money. Personally I don’t see a football team or any extra curricular activities being a good cause. It is more like a waste of time.
If I were to actually make a fundraiser to earn money for college then I would probably sell candy or raffle tickets. I could give away a television, but with a note in the rules in order for the television prize to be valid only if I receive over a certain amount of entries and / or a certain amount of money. I think it would work, I don’t even think I would need to embellish anything. If I just gave a short synopsis of my life then I might be able to bring in a decent amount of money. I don’t know if I would ever do that though, I would probably feel too bad and if I saw a donation box I would probably donate it to someone without a house or something.
My nephew, the one who has down syndrome and diabetes, had a stroke a few days ago. He is going in for an MRI on Monday to find out if in fact it was a stroke and see if there is any damage to the brain. I guess depending on how that test comes out is going to determine whether or not he can go home on Monday. I haven’t heard anything since yesterday, so I am assuming that he is doing the same, which said he was fine and acting like himself, so hopefully that is still the case.
I have talked many times about how I want to drive through every state and stop at some places that the locals love. For the most part there is a reason I want to visit each state, for instance I once knew a guy who came from Georgia. He always raved about Atlanta and all there is to do down there. I would definitely stop at the Coca Cola factory because I love Coke and would love to try some of the international flavors. There are a lot of other things to do down in Georgia, Click Here To Learn More About Georgia Vacation Destinations
Okay I need to comment back on people. I haven’t really kept up with it so I am going to try and do a lot today. After today I will attempt to keep up with the comments better. No promises though.
Since Google decided to drop my Page Rank I have been looking for a way to get it back. Apparently if I make all my paid links nofollow then it would work. Now I am dedicated to getting my Page Rank back because the higher my Page Rank the more value my website has in the eyes of adertisers. I don’t think hiring an seo specialist would help since Google dropped it manually, but once I have it back an seo expert might help to raise it to its highest potential. In that sense an seo company is good, otherwise it wouldn’t work for you.
Xtina, Xmas, it seems that we are taking out anywhere there is a Christ and replacing it with an X. Are we that lazy that we can’t be bothered to type out Christ when necessary? In this sense then when referring to Jesus, it should really be Jesus X instead of Jesus Christ right? Why not considering Christmas is supposed to be named after him right?
When did we get so lazy? Replacing words with numbers is one thing, but replacing words with a symbol instead of writing out the whole thing seems a bit ridiculous. In this case the symbol doesn’t even have anything to do with what it is replacing. How is X a replacement for those six letters? It makes no sense to me, how about to you? Do you see a rise in symbols replacing words more than usual nowadays?
I love music. No matter what kind, I can most likely get into it. Now it is just too bad I can’t play any instrument. I was learning the guitar and piano a while back, and I would still love to learn how to officially play the piano. Right now I can only play simple songs on a piano, but I would like to advance my skill to playing Chopsticks and more. I have signed up for a free newsletter for Piano lessons & piano chords that is helping me with chords and finger placement. It is a good way to help learn the piano.
Krissy went shopping with her sister tonight. She bought a lot of outfits and is really happy, she seemed to have a lot of fun. She wants to stay a few more days so we are going to leave a few days after we expected to. It is all right, I should be able to get a lot of work done up here and I might be able to make some wallpapers up here as well.
I was doing good with my credit card debt. I was down to about $2000 and I could have had that paid off within a year. Well that was before the one card’s limit was raised and Christmas. Krissy’s Imac and my television both went on my newly raised credit card, so now I owe about $4000. I am not too worried though because Lep’s Lair seems to be taking off somewhat and if I keep marketing it on Myspace then sometime soon I will be able to make three times what it costs to run, which isn’t that much, but it will help with other things.
I just hope that I can get all these things paid off before I need to look into bad credit auto loans, if my car dies. It works all right now, but it is 13 years old and I hope it lasts a few more years.
