Today is my birthday. It was actually pretty perfect, so far. I love my work and co-workers. They really are something else, in a good way.

So, I've been working on three websites via work. QuakeSmart, WorldSafe Network and the new Safe America web page. I'm going to be working on it this weekend, though. I'll put 10-12 hours into it over two days, then by Monday (after all the meetings) we'll have a good idea of what to expect, allowing the site to go live... let's say Thursday, maybe Friday...

I still need to make time so do some studying as well... We'll see...

My parents and me have not gone out to a dinner in about two years, but we all did tonight. It was the funniest turn of events that I have ever experienced in my life. Now, it ALL makes sense... I really see how close the apple fell from the tree... It's great, esp over a nice beer.

Now, time for some German cake, then off to my buddies place for a few.

I've been very busy with work and school this month. In the past three weeks, I've compiled 2 and a half websites for Safe America, Quake$mart and WorldSafe Network.

Quake$mart.net & WorldSafeNetwork.org

12 hours worth of classes this summer semester. It's pretty tough, but I like it.

I'm loving this ThinkPad, it's just totally awesome.

I've also been working with two clients via V2interactive... Check it out on the website.

It's been really busy the past couple of weeks. Finals, overtime at SAF, busy with two clients and trying to get this v2interactive launched on it's due date. (which it did, on June 1st)

All is well there, though. It's really keeping me busy, that's for sure. Now that it's all done-ish, I can sit back for a few and have some time to get back to playing basketball.

Speaking of which, the finals should be very interesting. I'm so good, my predictions were right. Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers. You want a spoiler? Celtics in game 6 will take it. I've got twenty on it, who's game? Game 1 is on the 5th, that should tell a lot about how this series will unfold.

Alright, back to work. Later.

Hey everybody, has it really been a month since the last update? My bad.

It's been a real hectic time. I'm just finished up my spring semester at school, getting all A's and one B. That's the first time I've had such high grades since elementary school! Next semester should be fine, but fall of 08' is really going to kick my butt. That's when all the advanced programming classes come into play. I can't wait to learn about network admin'ing.

V2interactive is still getting work done. We've acquired two clients and a possible third. The website is still in design... Well, let me take that back. The design is perfect and complete, it's just the content that's really kicking my rear-end.

1. Our first client is a automotive club in need of flyers and business cards.
2. The second client is a small business owner, right down the street who needs help designing a mass mailing.
3. Finally, the third possible client is a local man, who needs one-on-one training on how to update and maintain their company website.

Over all, we're looking at a 100+ hours of work. Not bad for not even (officially) being in business.

Another 150 billion dollars are being dumped into this 8 year "war"... And we wonder why our economy is so crappy? Let's dig in Alaska, use half of it (enough to supply the whole US for 15 years!) and save the other half in reserves, while we find alternative energy forms.

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of these tree huggers who think there is going to be so much harm and wrongful doing if we dig for oil in Alaska. If all these people love the area so much, then go take a 10 minute stay there, and check it out. There is NOTHING to see. Meanwhile, Iraq is laughing at us, as they're paying 15 cents a gallon for their gas. Ironic, isn't it? But no, let's question and accuse our main source of oil for ripping is off. There ya' go, let's burn every bridge we have.

Watching Hillary and Barack on T.V. is just like watching Dumb & Dumber. You can pick who is who... One complains about racism, the other sexism, meanwhile old man river is laughing all the way to the bank. It's horrible to say, but sometimes I think Fidel Castro had it all right.

On that note, I'm going to get back to my chickfila. I'll post someting later... I'll probably tell ya'll how I got to take my Honda around the Atlanta Motor Speedway @ 120mph, ha!

Payroll was due today. From April 1st, projected until April 15th I will have worked 91.5 hours.

On top of that I'm taking 12 hours of classes at school.

Drained? You don't know the half of it.

I'll probably end up going in tomorrow anyways to fix Deborah's computer. (There's always something funny going on with that machine)

It's still a blast and a great place to work for.

GE went down almost 5 points today. I've been trying to keep an eye out for some companies. GE, along with CitiGroup (symbol "C") and Apple. Earlier in March CitiGroup was down to just 19 points, then five weeks later bounced back to 28 points. I still kick myself in the rear end for not acting on my instinct. I swore the next time it hits under 20 I'll put in a few shares. Apple, on the other hand will be more of a long term investment. No time soon, but ya' know... it can't hurt to dream.

I'm also in the process of starting up my own business. Mainly specializing in design and marketing. From web development to wedding photography. It's still really up in the air, but it's a realistic goal I have set for myself. I love working, however, it would be amazing to have some side cash flow to keep the creditors at bay.

I guess that's pretty much it. Until next time, take care.
