Ever since I started buying domains it seems like I have had big dreams to start something for each one, but I always lack the drive to commit. Last year I started to buy a good amount of domains beginning in May. Now my inbox is filling up with emails every day reminding me to renew a domain that will expire in 90 days, 60 days, 30 days, 10 days, 7 days, 3 days, 2 days, 1 day…. the headache.

The part that sucks about making a site is the start up costs for a thing that may not make it. The domains I will renew, however, will have be worth it in that the name alone is worth money. But, hopefully I can do something with them this year! 

I just got out of my Junior year of college and waiting for grades to see how I did. I also have 2 weeks away from Whitewater before I have to go back and start my new job on June 4th. I can’t wait! In the mean time I have to also go get a cell phone which will be a headache finding a good plan and phone to use. Maybe I can start doing some PayPerPost ads to help pay for the initial costs of the cell phone down the road.

I can also see why I don’t miss home as much since for the first two days back I helped shovel bark into the plantings around the yard and moved my Uncle to a new place. Both back breaking work in the summer heat.

This whole week has been rough for me, but I have got some good news to offset it. The tough part are getting all of my school work done and studying for final exams that are coming up. The last 4 nights I have spent staying up late getting somethings done. This should hopefully change soon.

The good news is that I have been hired by my campus’s Web Development area for this summer and on. I have been sort of stressing on it since I was hoping to be able to make money again., since I haven’t had a job since starting college. This job also lets me stay in Whitewater for the summer at my new apartment. I just got the job by a slim margin, since they were at first not hiring for the position.

 Another cool good thing is that I won a $15 ITunes card in a raffle between all of the residence in my dorm. I finally can get some music legally.

My Mom’s birthday is coming up and I need to get her birthday stuff together. I just hate giving gifts cause it makes me think of stuff to get for people, which I am bad at thinking about. I don’t like to get the average DVD, in which case mostly boils down to me doing. This year I will get her something more expensive since I will have a job soon. But then there is also the task of getting a card and writing a message on it. I hate that too :).

School will be ending in about a month which will be bittersweet. I like staying at school with my friends, but hate going to classes like many students. However, getting to the finals you have to also finish papers and projects that you can’t finish until the end of the semester. I just finished a week of hard school work and have to look forward to more next week. Hopefully I will get a job on campus for the summer and move into an apartment. But it sucks that I won’t know if I got the job until the middle of May. So what I will be doing for summer is still uncertain.

My blog is almost nearing 3 months of being up. I can’t wait until the 22nd when that will occur and sign up for some advertising which will help me afford things over the summer since I haven’t had a job for 3 years..

If you are a fan of the show as I am, sign this petition to keep The Black Donnellys around. NBC is moving the show to Friday nights, replacing the Monday spot with a show called “Crashers”, based around the movie Wedding Crashers. The season will run in full on Fridays, but are no longer slated to run a second season.

If you haven’t watched The Black Donnellys yet, NBC has all the episodes online.

If you would also care to digg this article to push the petition to more of the public.

I just got out of college for one week for our spring break. It is nice to have a break during actual spring, unlike other colleges who have had their spring break about 3 weeks ago.

Temperatures are supposed to hit near 70 degrees Fahrenheit twice next week which will be amazing! Except it may rain a few days also.

During the time off I plan to work a little bit on my blog and also do a little bit of college homework so I don not get bogged down in the future weeks with it since we have about 6 weeks of spring semester left. 

Time to start the celebration off early. That’s because it is St. Patrick’s Day Eve! In celebration we bought some beer and green dye. I took a picture of my green Coors in my mini DAS BOOT!

I hope everyone has a lot of fun today and tomorrow! Make sure to think and drink responsibly.

This is my first time mentioning Moola.com on my blog, but I wanted to tell anyone who has concerns about it. Last weekend I signed and cashed my $11 Moola check which my brother Stuart helped me get. I am also now less than $4 away from cashing another $10+ check.

If anyone would also like to try Moola I have about 5 invitations I can give out. Just post in the comments your email address so I can send you one.

It has sadly been a while since my last update, but I have been pretty busy for the last few days.

As you may have noticed I recently turned 21 and I am having a great time being 21. I no longer have to worry about drinking and getting busted by cops. Just yesterday I went to the bars on a Tuesday to get a few pitchers of beer. I returned back to the dorm and was goofing around with my friend behind a cop walking in the halls. On my 21st Birthday I also had a great time with friends at the bars. Lets just say I drank a little too much, but why not go all out?

My blog has also now over 1 month old. I started it on January 22nd and it has gone through a lot of progress. It is one of my first site I have ever ran and it is a great experience and a pain at the same time with technical issues.

You may have also noticed I changed my blogs theme, thanks to my brother Stuart for finding a better layout. Now my blog no longer has pink, though Kelli hates that. But I like the cleaner look.
