2008

I love traveling. I have been to a lot of different places in my Chevy Beretta. I think it is time to face reality though, as much as I hate to say it, the car is 13 years old. It won’t last forever. I don’t want to give up my road trips, but I think that if I do go on a road trip then I am going to need to rent a car. It would be great if I could rent a Chevy Beretta, but they haven’t been in production for years and the newest one out there is probably 10 years old if not older. So I would need to settle for a different car.

I have never had to use a car rental place before. I would, but you need to be 25 to rent a car. I guess my next road trip is going to be a few years away.

So I did end getting GTA4 yesterday. To say it is anything short of awesome would be a crime. If anyone wants to play then send me a friend request, my XBL name is leprakhauns. I haven’t gotten far in the campaign, I keep seing people and shooting them in the head. Especially cops. I can’t wait until I have a bazooka so I can blow up the helicopter that keeps shooting me when I am fleeing from cops.

Did you know that Bates boots, or any other police gear make great gifts for your cop friends? It’s true. I know some cops and they have to pay for a lot of their gear, so having a uniform, or at least part of a uniform given to them as a gift is a real honor for them. Figure a police officer works five days a week, that is five days of clothes he needs. That can get expensive.

When the producers of Lost sat down with ABC to discuss an end date possibility I assumed that the answers that fans had wanted would wait until the final season. If you have been watching Lost this season you would know that it isn’t the case at all. Every week seems to reveal a new answer or two, while setting up different questions. If this season is a glimpse into what we can expect from now until the finale, then I say bring it on.

When you are living in LA or New York, everything you own has to be made by a famous designer. I am not just talking about your Prada shoes, I am talking everything from your handbag to your sunglasses. Even if the things you own don’t necessarily pertain to you. If your dog has a jacket then that has to be a famous designer as well. You even need to have
designer baby clothes for the little ones. If you are living in one of the fastest city’s in the United States though, why wouldn’t you want to have everything designer?

In those cities you are seen how you dress, so being up on the latest fashion is key to your success as a person and in your career. You wouldn’t want to go to work on Wall Street or into a fashion shoot wearing Walmart based clothing do you? Of course not, and you wouldn’t want your children to be seen in anything less than the best because that could be a reflection of you. Think about it, if you can’t dress your children in the best then how can you be seen wearing the best for yourself? Afterall a mother should come second to her children.

With the way things are going right now by Tuesday I could have four brand new tires on my car along with Grand Theft Auto 4. I didn’t think I would be able to pull it off, but some funds came in last minute and rather quickly that I didn’t think I would have. It would be nice to take a trip back to Liberty City, afterall I haven’t been there since GTA3. I wonder what has changed?

I have wanted to visit Australia since I saw the Simpson’s episode where Bart makes a prank call to them and he has to apologize. Plus I also think the accents down there are really cool. Watching Lost, and the couple of times they showed Sydney, it looked beautiful so I would definitely like to visit that city. Also the country side down there looks cool too, especially with the koalas and kangaroos running around in the wild. Eventually I will take a Flight to Australia with Krissy, but right now I can’t even afford to take a flight to Liberty City (pick up a copy of Grand Theft Auto 4).

I have hit a snag with the new thing, I am going to need to do some research because I was able to have it working on other servers just not my own. I know it isn’t anything Dreamhost did because I already asked them about it. I think I am just missing something that I must have overlooked. I will figure it out soon though.

No your eyes aren’t deceiving you, that is a watch. It isn’t just any watch though, it is a watch that I want that gets the date and time from the Fort Collins, Colorado transmitter as long as you are within a 2,000 mile radius. It isn’t just that one that does that however, a lot of Casio watches do that. I like having things done automatic for me, even if it is as menial as setting the time on a watch. With the watch, you know that you will always have the right time, especially considering that it will be getting the information from an atomic clock.

I am finishing up on something that will take this site into a new direction. I am not going to reveal what it is just yet, that will have to wait until it is done, but I will say that it will hopefully be up today and I hope a lot of people will use it. It is technically a start of a new subsection in the Funbox section, so I hope with the start of it, that it takes off rather quickly.

Advertising is the key to any successful business. While that statement is very true, it is also very vague. There are many different kinds of advertising. You can have a billboard up on Interstate 80, or you could have a television commercial in rotation at the cable company. Both are effective forms of advertising, but they are also very different.

A lot of smaller companies also don’t think outside the box when it comes to advertising. When they hear that word they instantly think commercials and billboards and anything big that costs a lot of money. The truth is that it doesn’t need to cost that much. There are many cheap ways to advertise. You can print up business cards and leave them at grocery stores, or you could make up a lot of pens and hand them out to random people. You can even print up discount checks that connect to your bank account to use when you are purchasing for your business. The point is that you don’t need to advertise big, you can advertise in a smaller sense that gets out to many individual people.

If you satisfy one person then that person will most likely tell another person, and the tree will grow from there. You would have all those satisfied customers just because you gave away a few free pens.

I need to get tires this week. I am also in the market for an oil change. I am going to see if Pep boys can do it fairly cheap. I don’t need the best tires, I just need tires with some traction so I am not all over the road. Hopefully when I call them tomorrow they can give me a good price.
