Post 2: A long time coming

First off I'd like to apologize for not posting anything in the past three weeks.

I've actually written several articles, but I need to proofread them before I put them on the web for you to read. Well actually I don't think anyone read this, nor did I expect them too; but I need to be in Google for a few weeks before I actually post anything good, and I'm not in Google yet.

I've had a lot on my mind over the past few weeks, I've been helping my one friend with his house, looking to buy a house, working two jobs, and just trying to sort things out in my mind. I also went on an awesome church retreat this past weekend, where I learned a lot of things, ate great food, had tons of fun, and just enjoyed the first completely carefree relaxing weekend in a long while, and now its going to be Christmas in a few days.

Now, there also the problem of figuring out what to write, what to talk about, and what audience to cater toward. Unfortunately I think we all put on faces towards different groups of people, but this is the Internet, so everyone has the potential to see me the same way, however I choose to be perceived. Since nobody's been on here yet save maybe 3 people I don't think it matters at this point.

I have done a few things, I did post a bunch of pictures, some links, and got the layout sorted out. I'd still like to think of a better title, so if one comes to mind I'm going to change it.

Anyway, I am planning some articles that I'm really excited about, and I will be trying to get them up here sometime over the break (Christmas Season). I wish everyone a merry Christmas, and I hope you will enjoy the articles that I am going to be posting on here in the future.

Oh if you want, post a comment so I know you stopped by.

Why are you reading this?

I've been kicking around the idea of getting a blog just to avoid maintaining my web site. Right now with working two different jobs, its hard to get time to do anything (my other computer has been broken for 3 months), and you have to force yourself to not do work, to avoid lapsing into a state of carelessness.

Anyway, I've had a website for the past 5 years (never had much on it, mainly I just use it as a fileserver), and I'm not sure I really want to put anything important on it, because if I put on anything that gets alot of hits (wishful thinking), my service will be cancelled for exceeding bandwidth limitations. I want to get a new webserver, but I think that this will handle what I need for now.

Anyway, I haven't really decided what kind of content I'm going to post on here yet, whether it's going to be serious or not (I haven't decided on a title yet), but I do know that I will try my best to avoid another ranting blog about my daily life and add to the polution of the Internet. I've seen many blogs that are full of stuff like this:

I got up this morning and brushed my teeth, and took a shower, and pet my cat because my cat Mr. Bubbles is the most amazing cat, and then I talked to Brandon and Josh, and we went to the mall blah blah blah.....

and in the end nobody really cares.

Well, I am going to post some links in the right hand column of this page, and I will hopefully get to write some interesting articles later this week.
