changed my mind about a blog

I was going to go on about some things I find troubling in my everyday life, but then a little spark in the back of my head told me to think differently about it. Because I know that some of the the things I would be typing about might get back to the people that cause me the reason to type them. Upon reading often how people are losing their jobs for blogs, I figured I would just lay it on the back burner, and see if my feelings are just as strong later. The chances of someone involved reading my blogs are almost impossible, but not improbable so it is best that I just let those thoughts fade into the wind. I guess looking into this blog here it sounds a lot worse then it is, but really it is not so serious. But the outcome of job loss is still a very true reality. So I guess maybe to others who would like to rant about Co-workers and Other people that have a stake into your job, should think twice about posting it into their own blog, and maybe start up a 'fantasy' blog. Just hope that the fantasy blog does not get too popular and you are still revealed!!

This Damn Blog

So I found another "spam" blog today, from 'somewhere' on the internet, posted as if I were posting it. I am not sure where these dumb things are coming from! I have a feeling somehow a spambot is sending them as email and they go into my blog that way. It has happened twice now, and it is getting irritating! I wonder if this is what Jody Gnant [www.jodygnant.com] was talking about. Saying how her blog was 'hacked'. All this damn phishing anyways! Spam, hate, and phishing are ruining the internet! Lets just hope someday some of the crap will get cleaned up...but I doubt it.

Save some Money!

I have been using the Savings Angel website for a few months time now. And let me tell you, IT IS PAYING OFF!!


As of today I have purchased $1015.20 worth of products. (Food, shampoos, deodorants, house cleaning things, ect) But I have spent only $354.11!!!!

Sure that seems like a fair amount of money for only 23 days into the year, but I purchased some things I will not need to buy for the rest of the year, or even beyond.

I have enough laundry detergent for well over a year. Deodorant I think that will cover almost 2 years time. Popcorn, granola bars, cereal, vegetables, soup, hamburger helper, and boxed potatoes for an entire year, or more. These are just a few things to list, many other items will last a half a year or more.

I also have a queue of 100rolls of toilet paper, and 20 rolls of paper towel. That queue is surely never to fall much lower than that, since deals will pop up and I can restock.

If you live in the West Michigan area, you can click the lick above and join the site and save as much if not more that I do everyweek, and put some money back into your pocket for other things!

Nat pretty much whooped my ass in under 12 minutes. She finished the game, and I was still in world 6 with 1 guy left. I guess the South won the war this time.

The Apocalypse has come!

Or Just a simple night shoveling snow.

A typical winters night. 2am. Out shoveling the snow. Felt like taking some pictures of the snow on the branches of the trees. I wanted to capture some of this since snow usually doesn't stick to the branches directly. In between shoveling and setting the exposure time, I snapped a few pics I really like. The sky was blood red, but when exposed turned to a yellow fog. The trees bare of their leaves intertwined with the night sky. Poetry Mumbo Jumbo should this Blog never be made of.

So yea. Put my cam on a Tripod and clicked away. Happy with the results!

Sofitel Tokyo Hotel

Sofitel Tokyo Hotel

Today I just found out that this hotel is no more. I did not stay at this hotel, nor did I even get close to it. But it is still a symbol of my trip to Japan. I like many others have this building etched into our memories as a reminder of Tokyo and Ueno Park. Next time (if ever) I return to Tokyo and Ueno park (My Japan) this scene will be gone. Lost for eternity in an ever changing Japan. The next time I visit Shinobazu Pond and would like to snap some pictures of the surrounding buildings Sofitel will be no where to be found. Hotel Kojimu will apparently fill the void that has been left by the demolition of Sofitel Hotel Tokyo. Maybe I will stay in this new hotel next visit, to reclaim some lost memories that I never had....

Hack or Slash?

Well I am doing my normal surfing on the internet, and check my Jaiku to see whats up. I notice from my own blog that there was some posts about some 'unsavory' things. I was a bit confused at first but was not so sure if maybe something had just gone awry on the Jaiku side of the world. Upon going to my blog I noticed that there were indeed some 'unscrupulous' posts that were not done in my name. They did have a header of RE: (insert adult natured things for sale on the internet). A picture of a fair looking maiden with nothing on other than a Santa hat and a string of pearls. Although I really don't have much problem with the photo. The main fact that I did not put it there or the content about adult enlargement was not posted by me. And it had to go. I guess if I were going to sell such items (or services) I would do it the traditional way and spam the crap out of the planet. And not post it on my blog that is 'fairly' family friendly. 13+ would be the rating I think. But alas in the pursuit of money I cannot bring my self to a low as low as that.

This bus returned us to the downtown area where we continued to freeze until a most magnificent Taiko drum show! TAO was performing. You can find some information here. TAO

This is too awesome I would love to see a better view of this!!

Make them pay!!

Hello Blogosphere,

Do I get to greet like that? Am I part of the blogosphere??? I think so...
Anyways, tonight I made a quick video about what I think should be done to junk mail that comes to my door. Just watch below and tell me what you think. If you have other ideas about it pass them on.

Thanks so much :)
