Birthday

I turned 22 today.

I thought it’d be interesting to keep a bit of a log of how my special 24 hours goes.

12:00 AM - Order French Toast Platter from Kerbey Lane.

12:20 AM - Go pick up food, bring back to hookah bar.

12:35 AM - Start eating my birthday breakfast the minute I officially turn 22.

12:38 AM - Blush profusely as my great friend Tam gets everyone left in the hookah bar to sing me happy birthday.

1:00 AM - Go home and pass out.

8:30 AM - Wake up for work.

9:08 AM - Arrive at work (Whoops, okay, a little late.)

9:14 AM - Start writing this post.

9:15 AM to 5:30 PM - Worked

6:00 PM to 7:00 PM - Appointment

7:00 PM to 8:00 PM - Get ready for party and head to the Rockin’ Tomato

8:00 PM to 10:00 PM - Party with friends and family and friends from work, with amazing pizza and food.

10:00 PM to 12:00 PM - Move the party to PipesPlus to bring friends food and hang out.

12:00 PM - Went home.

All in all, it was one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had.  I had so much fun!

Jumble and Clarity

I love blogs.

I don’t know what it is about them - setting them up for people, making them look good and functional, figuring out different ways to utilize the various blogging softwares that I play with to make them as versatile as possible - but I love them. They’re so much fun to fool around with!

I know that the next big purchase I want to make, is buying a car. I have so many ideas in mind for what to get - things I want that are waaay out of my current price range to things that are a good deal. A friend of mine in California is thinking of selling his 2007 Volkswagen GTI, a car I drove back in January when I visited. I loved that car… it was ridiculously easy to drive, loaded with more features than you can imagine - with a slew of them that aren’t even in the manual!

He’s thinking of selling it for just about as much as I would have paid for the Honda Fit I was wanting to get, and I know he takes care of that car with the intensity only a car fanatic can bring to the table.

I still have a strong love for the Subaru WRX STI - Ever since I got to briefly drive my friend’s in Tampa, and would adore getting a similar one to his. Only problem is… the cost is close to double of what I’d be able to afford, if not more than double. So eventually!

Eventually I plan on having several cars just for the hell of it.

So the idea is to basically gather up a bit of a fan base (Haha) and put all the money I make with blogs away for a down payment on a really good car. Hopefully I can also pay off the monthly payment amount with money from my blog business - and the good thing is that I really, really enjoy setting these things up!

The software I use is really very amazing. You can do so many things with it, and it’s ridiculously easy to use and learn. If you want a website with a blog, you need to Send me an email, or check out the Interested in a Blog page for more details.
