Odd Job

In looking for a new job, I have signed up for every known Job Board out there (Monster, Dice, Careerbuilder, etc...). Most of the responses I get are scams, jokes and in no way follow any of the job type / category settings I have setup and have listed.

The other day I received an email telling me that they noticed my resume and thought I would be a perfect match. This is pretty much the common email response I get before they dump a horrible position description in my lap.

But this one was different. This one made me think: "Is this even legal???"

A New Start

Welcome to my new start. A new start in more ways than one. If you had read my last post Thoughts and Ideas, you can probably guess why my new start is needed.

Over the last week I have slowly started focusing on narrowing down the thoughts and ideas in my head. I have also been taking the overloaded energy my mind has been using and have been using it to channel me, my life, and my drive into a new direction.

With much thought, and a good needed kick in the ass, I have decided to start my own company and I have been working on putting it together for the last couple days. It is still in the early stages of coming together, but I'm going to do it, and that is where the new start in more ways than one comes in.

Thoughts and Ideas

As I sit outside on my backyard patio, umbrella up to block the sun for which I have not seen in weeks due to this horrible weather we have been having, my brain is stirring with thoughts and ideas. These thoughts and ideas that have been driving me crazy for the past couple weeks and are now in full force attack. They are holding me hostage with a high ransom. I need a high skilled negotiator to free me from them.

That high skilled negotiator is either a job, or a crazy idea that will be the basis for starting my own company.

These thoughts and ideas are slowly turning into panic. Panic is one mode I do not need or want to be in. I need to free me from them fast, but I don't know what else to do right now. Stumped...

It is not like I haven't been trying to find a job, I have, and I have been doing so every minute of the day since I was laid off.

Quit Daydreaming and Just Write

I know I have stated before that I never could get into writing. I always go to write something, and wind up staring at the wall, or walking away with nothing on the paper or screen. I started my blog for me to have a good reason to write anything. I think I am off to a good start, but I still have that tendency to stare at the wall, browse and read news, or play with something other than my blog editor.

Well, I just recently got a new laptop with the sole purpose to sit down where ever and write something. Whether it be an App or game review of something that I have just played with, just random thoughts that come to mind, etc..., it will be written about.

Exciting E3 News - Metroid: Other M

For the past two days, I have been glued to G4tv watching it both on the tv and monitoring the web site getting my fill of the latest info from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2009. This year I got really excited about the upcoming release of the latest version of my all time favorite games - Metroid.

I have played every version of Metroid since it was introduced on the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in August 1987, and on every Nintendo console there after. Now with it coming out on the Wii I'm super excited, and the below trailer from the Nintendo Press Conference just confirms my excitement.

I'm on Squarespace

About a year ago I finally got enough motivation and wanted to start a blog for myself. I did a ton of research on different CMS / blog platforms including Blogger, Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, etc... After pulling my hair out from going over the ton of different options between each, I started a quick blog using Tumblr, because I wasn't sure how I would like doing it, and it was free.

I started by adding pictures and quick updates of what I was doing to my Tumblr blog. After awhile, and as soon as I got my iPhone, my content started to pickup and get bigger in doing App reviews and writing longer stories about me and what I was up to. Because of this, I knew I needed to move my blog to a bigger more robust platform.
