I have to take a moment to apologize for the proliferation of posts regarding frustrations in my blogging. Unfortunately for me and my situation, I’m in need of increased income, but am not really looking forward to putting on a suit and tie all day everyday. So I’m trying juggle 7 blogs for a little extra monetary combination, and well, that leaves many to unsubscribe from my rss feeds, and other things. But that’s ok, I’m going to keep trying to mix the traditional with whatever comes to my head.
Finally! Some Rain in Seattle. It’s nice and cold, although my office is still warmer than I’d like it. Overall things are going smoothly.
I was in Los Angeles for a day last weekend and things went well. It doesn’t feel like home anymore. I also don’t like the Mexican food as much. I had this fantasy when I arrived in Seattle, that involved Los Angeles, but when I was there this last weekend, I really didn’t like it. It’s smoggy, and people are worse than the people here in Seattle. I felt awkward there, so I was glad when I stepped off the plane into my city, Seattle, and had friends…truly friends…picking us up. It was late and the whole weekend is a little blurry, but everything went well. My sister and family are all well, and there were no tears when we said goodbye.
We all matured a little. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, I hear, but it also has matured our family into a reality that we never had before.
I had written a long winding post about my dream job at the Casket Store, but somehow it was deleted.
I upgraded to the latest Wordpress yesterday, I hope that no one felt the pain of the upgrade, I tried to make it fast.
I’ve decided to eat smaller portions, and start eating healthier in general. I’m scrutinizing what I buy, considering the factors that involve my health, and well I’m hungry a lot. But it’s a good thing, because now I am conscious of what is going on in general. I feel better already. I feel lighter. I have a msi of a deathly obese person for my height, yet I am still wearing the same pants I had in high school…so I’m a little confused. I know I weigh more, but I just figure there’s certain muscle groups on me that have grown with what I do. Like my quads, calf’s and other areas that weigh more than fat. I will also be instituting more outdoors time, or even a work out dvd…I’m not worried…I know what must be done and I’m a fan of discipline so I’m working on that.
I’m 1/2 way through 3 books right now, so expect more book reviews in the future. Right now I’m mid way through “Translation Nation”, “I was Wrong”, and “Black Coffee Blues”, but it seems like I’m inching through all of them. I can’t just stick to one right now. Sometimes I feel more on the spiritual level and read the Jim Bakker story, but at others I feel mad at the world so I read Rollins, and sometimes I just feel lonely in a culture that seems to like to bash immigrants so I read Hector Tobar.
Ebay sales were down. I went 11/20 in ebay sales. I managed to sell 2 50 cent books for profits of over 8 dollars combined after shipping. That’s a nice upsell considering that the books were used and cost less to send than anticipated. I almost lost money on one book because it weighed more than a pound. I managed to squeak out a dollar profit on that one.
I’m looking at more ebay trends, and how I can monetize my profits so that the buyers and impromptu customers don’t feel like I’m cheating them out of money through shipping & handling charges or that I’m selling them second hand products that are dressed up to be something they are not. It’s a balance of things.
The Mariners lost last night. WWE is interesting too. My WWE blog is on the front page of google when searching for wwe blog, that’s nice. That site has more traffic than this site, and this site has more honest writing at times. Then again, WWE has millions of fans worldwide…I have 2 to 5 fans depending on what subject I write about.
Sad huh?
Oh well.
Mxpx is playing a free show near my house. Literally at the end of my block. I will be enjoying that greatly.
I’ve got nothing. I’m tired today, and I have no more to write.

Don’t get too frustrated about blogging… I mean, we all blog in the dark, we don’t really who reads and who doesn’t. But eventually, if you’re happy with your blog, that’s the most important.
Dude, ya know I can always spare you some cash if you really need it.
Good luck!
I originally began blogging as an outlet, a release, somewhere to vent. It still serves that purpose for me, even with posting my soap sales there.
My 1st blog is all like that, sirjorgeonline (in the links on the left) i post like 8 or 9 times a day sometimes.
this one i wanted to share a little different, but hey..it’s odd.
Finally some rain? I wish I could say that, we’ve had nothing but rain for weeks now. But enough about the weather
I’m in a bit of a book slump too at the moment, although i do think I’m beginning to pull out of it, as I finally finished a book this week as opposed to starting a new one.
