If you live in America then you should enroll with lifelock. Did you know that identity theft is one of the leading crimes in America? Every year thousands of people have their identities stolen and while it is one of the most common crimes in America, it is also the hardest to prove. Think about it, someone has your social security number, bank account number, license with your name and their picture on it, and credit cards in your name, how are you going to prove that you are you ansd they stole your identity? That is where lifelock comes in. They will tell you when someone tries to take out credit in your name and will hence forth help prevent identity theft.

I am reading Madeline Albright’s new book, Memo to the President Elect. It is really Albright’s memoirs, but she writes them in such a way that doesn’t make you realize what you are actually reading. Like the title of the book, the book is written as if a memo of congradulations and advice to the next President of the United States. The advice is where this book shines though, even though it may seem she is writing to the new president, she is really saying what the American people should look for in a President, without actually saying who to vote for. She writes what she thinks made this country great and what needs to be done to make it great again.

The weather is starting to get warmer. I think some days can be worse than most other parts of the country around here because we are right on the water, so some days are just more brutal. Of course since we are so close to the ocean, we hardly ever get snow, but that doesn’t help the cold air. My skin and lips get really bad in the winter too.

I hate when my lips get chapped. It happens a lot in the winter, it seems that as soon as the weather turns cold then my lips instantly get chapped. I am not one for chap stick, but maybe I should use some lip treatments to prevent them from being chapped. Normally if my lips really hurt then I will kiss Krissy and take some of her chap stickoff her lips. It isn’t much, but it does help sooth the pain.

Krissy has been wanting to use Lip Tint (Soft Kiss). I guess it makes sense, considering the amount of lipstick women consume over a lifetime, might as well consume it and let it be good for you, and others too if you know what I mean. If she spends over $100 then she can get that for free in the month of April.

George Bush has said that if he was president back then then he wouldn’t have pulled out of Vietnam. Now those are strong words for someone who wasn’t over there fighting, instead he was enrolling in college. What I don’t understand is why people still back him, or any republican for that matter. A vote for Mccain in 08 will be a vote for the same old Bush policies. I admit the Democrats aren’t the ideal party, but they are the lesser of two evils, so if you are on the fence, vote democrat, no matter who wins the nomination.

Moving in the same neighborhood can be stressful, there’s finding boxes, packing, finding a mover, finding people to help you move. At least you stay in the same neighborhood and know the same people right? Well think about how much more stressful it is to move someplace that is completely new to you. If you were to move to a new city then you have all of that stress plus the stress of not knowing anyone, not knowing who won’t rip you off when some something goes wrong, not having someone rip you off for your everyday services. What if there was a place that could help it be less stressful? What if you could meet face to face with someone in a personable and professional manner?

With MyCityFaces you can. Businesses post their ads on there and you can usually get a good idea of the service they provide with how they present themselves and what others think of them. It is like having many helpers when you are trudging through a stressful time in your life. Don’t you owe it to yourself to make things less stressful and be more at ease with some of the new things that can come up when moving to a new city? You might even find out some new things about your current city and the people in it at that site.

I don’t think I am going to have the money to grab Grand Theft Auto 4 when it comes out, so it may need to wait for a few weeks or months. I don’t want this to be the case, but I don’t see how I will have the money to pick up this great game. As it is, we’ve all but cancelled our trip to Atlantic City at the end of the month. Hopefully soon this won’t be an issue anymore,

I have been studying different forms of marketing and the number one thing that seems to be constant is that if you can make people remember you then word about your business will get out. Of course then the question becomes how can you get the word about your business out to so many people? Well you could join a web directory, create a Myspace page, pay for advertising, there are limitless ways to promote your business.

If you are going to use a web directory to help promote your business then there are a few things to keep in mind. First is to make sure that it is a business directory. There are no reasons for businesses to promote on personal directories, and in the end that might end up hurting your business since you wouldn’t be reaching your target demographic. Another important thing to keep in mind is to find a web directory that has categories for your business, and that you can fit the business into one of those categories. Web directories can be a great way to advertise, but if your business is listed in a category it shouldn’t be then you won’t be getting the kind of business you want, it is essentially the same as making sure it isn’t a personal directory. If you do those two important things with a couple of directories then you may find yourself with plenty of business.

I know that Heath Ledger will be playing the Joker in The Dark Knight and Aaron Eckhart will most likely be playing Two-Face in the third movie in the Batman Begins series, but I think it would be a shame if they didn’t bring in Catwoman. The Bat and the Cat always seem to have this natural chemistry for each other, no matter what you are watching or reading. I think it would be an interesting love interest, especially when he can’t be with Rachel until his mask can come off for good.

A while ago Krissy and I were looking at BEDROOM SETS, specifically for a platform bed with storage in it. We didn’t end up getting it because we didn’t have the money at the time, we still don’t have the money, but we still do want a bed like that, along with matching furniture. We’re going to need to find a place to live first though, becauser right now all we can fit in the bedroom is what we have, and that is a king size bed and a television stand. We’ll have a nice set someday though, hopefully sooner than later, if things work out good in the next few months.

Promotion is key to any successful business. I have decided a while ago that I am going to make Lep’s Lair my business, my business is comments, and blogging, and entertainment, it is everything that you see here. The question is how to promote the business. Well there is always going around to blogs and commenting, but that seems to take a long time and I honestly just can’t keep up on it for the life of me. I might make myself active in a commenting site again, but again I am unsure. The Myspace aspect seems to be doing all right, it keeps my visitors constant, but with the loss of my proxy a while ago, the visitors are still down.

I am going to have to start advertising certain aspects of the site, and keep building each section up as they come. Who knows, maybe one day I can make enough money to retire and just work on this site all day? Hey you never know right?

I have, like I am sure most guys do, if penis enlargement is possible. Now I always see the commercials after midnight that claim a pill can make you bigger, but I don’t know if it’s actually true or not. If penis enlargement pills actually work then they would be more popular right? Not necessarily. See guys don’t go to other guys and talk about that sort of thing. Women will go to other women and say stuff like “do you think my breasts are too small?” Guy’s won’t though, what are they supposed to say, do you think my penis could be bigger? Guys don’t talk about that sort of thing, so getting information by word of mouth is out of the question.

There are tons of penis enlargement, though so if they can’t do what they cklaim to do, then I suppose they couldn’t sell them right? I mean if they didn’t do what they are advertised to do then they would be taken off the market due to all of the claims of false advertising. My advice is that if you are curious about these sorts of things, check out the internet and see what people say, or just get a bottle and try for yourself.

I have had the chance to play around with Social Engine and code for it. I really like the program. if you don’t know, it is a simple social networking platform that can be built upon and made to fit your needs. Now I have had the opportunity to create a plugin for it, it isn’t an official plugin, maybe one day I will make it official, but for now it is all right. If you are wondering if it is easy creating a nonofficial plugin for Social Engine then let me just say yes.

If you know anything about Smarty then making a plugin that works with Social Engine should be a piece of cake for you. Since I know how easy it is, and since I now have a bulletin plugin, then it might open up my chances to get some projects on getafreelancer. I am going to see if I can find anyone needing a bulletin plugin and possibly make some extra money with it.
