2008

It took a lot to dye my hair. I first put straight peroxide, 20 proof on my head, but that didn’t do anything, even with it sitting there for over an hour. Next I used a lightening kit along with the peroxide, that seemed to work, but it made my hair many different colors, from white, to a strange orangey color, to a very out of place red color. I don’t mind it though because I had black hair for so long it bored me.

The one thing that I didn’t like about dying my hair was afterwards when I was washing the stuff out of my head, using a normal shampoo made my hair feel like straw. Even using conditioner didn’t help that much, the peroxide seemed to have stripped all the natural oils out of my hair and I would have to not shower for a few days to get them back. The next time I washed my hair the shampoo made my hair like straw again. It wasn’t until the third time that I had washed my hair with naked naturals shampoo and conditioner that my hair wasn’t like straw. I guess a natural shampoo is the best way to go for color treated hair, it restores the oils that the peroxide strips away like no other shampoo can.

I was watching the AVN Awards on Showtime for a little while. I am not against pornography in any way, in fact I actually embrace it and encourage people who are against it to watch it and defy them not to get turned on. So as I am watching this, I see all these women there. Now these aren’t the horror stories that people try and portray of the adult industry. I am sure you know the horror stories I am referring to, the ones where they have to do it or are being forced. These are powerful women up there. Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, these are names that have shaped and continue to shape the pornography industry of the 21st century.

With such powerful women in charge of the industry, I fail to see how women can get offended by it. How can something be offensive to women if women are the ones creating the content to begin with? Back in the day it was a male run industry, but times have changed. The most powerful woman in porn, Jenna Jameson has risen from the ashes of her youth and has become very powerful, not just in the adult industry, but she has also crossed over into mainstream media.

Now I wouldn’t go as far as to say that these women should be looked up to as role models for what they do as an occupation, but they should be looked up to as role models for what they have overcome, and what they have been able to achieve. In the last ten years the tables have turned. Don’t you think it is time to embrace the change and reconsider what is deemed offensive in this country? Porn can not be offensive if the gender who is offended are also the ones producing it.

I want money. I am sick of not having any. I want to have so much money that I could catch a flight to dubai anytime I wanted to. The problem is that I don’t know how to get it. See working hard doesn’t work, and I have no money to go to college.

What does somebody do in my situation? Well I am trying to find alternative forms of making money. If I can figure out how to make a passive income that will come from multiple sources then I think it would work. The question now is how to make a passive income?

So the last few weeks Red Vs Blue has been releasing new videos of the mini series Recovery One. It wasn’t done in Halo 3, but it is a great series all the same. It steps away from the comedy that they were known for and gone into a less comedic, more dramatic approach. It really suits the series, and I think that after the mini series if they continue on this track, then it will be interesting to see what they do with it. Who knows what they will do after the mini series though, maybe it will go full force into Halo 3?

I love digital photo frames. I don’t actually own one, but Krissy has one that is attached to her keys and my aunt has one. I think they are the coolest things. You could load anything onto it and have it displayed anywhere in your house. You can also easily switch out the pictures without printing anything to put into it.

I think that a digital photo frame would make a great gift to anyone technologically inclined, or otherwise. How many times do you take a picture on a digital camera and never get around to printing it? With digital photo frames you never have to print anything again. I would love to have one, but even with their great prices they seem to be out of my price range at the moment. I will have one someday soon though.

Since my hair is so many different colors (black, blonde, orange and red), in about a week Krissy is going to dye it blond. Personally I am sick of my natural black hair, so any change is good. I have dealt with the black hair for about 10 years, which was the last time I dyed it, so any change is good. Who knows, maybe I will just keep it blond from now on.

I love the city, and with good reason too. There are so many things to do in New York that you could be there for a week and not get bored. I wish that I still lived in NJ so I could go there anytime I want, but now that I am in Delaware getting up there is proving to be harder than you’d think.I want to go up there and really take in the city for all its worth. I am talking about getting a hotel room for a few nights and then using Trusted Tours & Attractions to take a nice tour of the city.

I think people should consider city tours when they are throwing around family vacation ideas. What better way to spend a family vacation than to go around to all the sights the city has to offer? Even if you don’t want to go on a predefined tour per say, there’s always so much to do in New York that when throwing around vacation ideas you may want to put it at the top of your list.

If you are planning a vacation, or want to go on a tour then I suggest that you head on over to their site and sign up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter and enter to win an IPOD Nano! Offer ends Monday, March 31st, 2008.

Well according to my sources, (same sources who give me my Lost Spoilers, a website that I won’t link to so you aren’t tempted to look up spoilers) The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been renewed for season 2. I can’t wait for the episodes to start, that show is great. I didn’t think I would like it and I definitely didn’t think that the show would last, but it has surprised me every step of the way. I hope that season 2 will be as great as season 1 was.

I want to get my degree. I have no money to go back to school so I need to look into student loans. I know Krissy is trying to go back to school too, so she will also need a student loan. I would hate to take out so much money to pay back, but at least we could defer the payment until after we graduate. Finding a Delaware student loan shouldn’t be that hard, the hard part is going to be finding the right school to go to. Krissy has it figured out at least, I am still lost as to what I want to do and where I want to go.

Nintendo’s Reggie teased E3 2008 today when he was posed the question “with such a big first half of the year for Nintendo, what is the second half going to bring?” His answer was that it would be revealed at E3. For those of you who don’t know, E3 is the Electronics Entertainment Expo held every year in LA. E3 will be held in July this year so it is a little odd that he would be teasing E3 already, considering that it isn’t even April yet. I guess they figure if they put it in your heads now then you will be looking forward to the Nintendo announcements months away. I guess it is an affective strategy.

Money is great isn’t it? The only time it sucks is when you don’t have the money to do what you want.In today’s economy that is becoming a more common occurrence. Anything you can do to make some more money for the things you want is good. No matter what it is that you want, whether it be a new car or even house repairs, you need money to get it.

I owe about $4,000 in Credit card debt. Six months ago it was a lot less, but then Christmas came and I got in a bit over my head. I think I am doing all right with the payments and everything else. I don’t suspect that I will need any outside help for credit repair, especially if some things take off which I am hoping they will. See I have been offering my services to people looking for outsourced projects, so maybe my workload and money will increase over the next few weeks. That way I can pay off a lot more than just the minimum payments.
