I just made some changes to feeds and pushes to various areas on my two main websites to make my life a little easier. It's not going to cause anyone to change their views of reality or life in the universe as we know it.. but it will make it easier for me to synchronize my sites across the web. Now if Google+ can just get on-line with their APIs.

Apparently one of my tweets was featured in a Washington Post Blog post by Elizabeth Flock. I didn't realize my tweets had such far reaching impact... grammar mistakes and all. *laughter*

So, I ordered something the other day and it was scheduled to be delivered two days later. I received notice it was delayed from some odd reason; fortunately it wasn't anything which mattered all that much, but thanks to UPS tracking page it was easy to see why it didn't arrive on time. Amusingly it hit the same distribution center twice, and went to two other states that in no way should have been part of the journey to my house:

The latest 419 Scam E-mail I received. It looks like they are moving their story from Nigeria to Egypt:

I hear so many people talk about regrets and would a, could a, should a moments in their lives. What is odd about the times where I hear these regrets mentioned, they are normally around times of little importance in the scheme of things. Such as "You didn't order the large piece of pie? You are going to regret that later." Or, "You didn't download the latest album on the day that it came out, you are going to regret that." Or "I really regret not going to the party last night, everybody was there."

When you are laying on your deathbed, these will probably not be moments you will look back upon with regret. In fact these will be moments you probably will not remember next week, or next year. In fact there are very few things like that you will ever really look back on with regret. Although it would be amusing to hear. "In my life, my greatest regret was not buying that silk tie I saw on sale that one day back in 2010.. gasp.. sigh."

But what about the things you will actually regret? I was thinking about this the other day when I heard a Doctor on TV talking about different ways to treat depression and other stress related illnesses. What they never discussed was making small changes, everything revolved around medications and therapy. Which made me think "why am I happy and they are not, it cannot always be a physiological issue." Then it hit me. I have tried to live my life without acquiring regrets. Don't get me wrong, I have missed out on things in my life, but what I mean is the things I can control. Let me give you some ideas of what I mean.

So whether or not I think the government is doing a good job is beside the point. What amazes me most is the number of people, and groups, who are blaming them for the things they themselves have caused. The thing that is irritating me the most right now is the number of the people who are blaming the government for all of their personal financial problems.

I'm not saying that nobody is having financial difficulties as a direct result decisions made by the government. For a number of people who are unemployed right now it can or will result in financial turmoil; but those are not the people I am talking about.

Twenty-eight years ago I joined the Navy right out of high school. When I joined, the last three questions you were asked before you signed on the dotted line where as follows:

Over the weekend I was contacted by a company in the UK to create a logo for a new product line. I have been given the go head on this project and my rough sketch has already been approved. I will let you know more as things progress, but it is always fun to work on things like this.

It's time once again for the PMG Scammers to make their way to college campuses everywhere. What is PMG you ask? Well, that is a really good question. Mainly because they change their name almost as quickly as they cash the checks of the people that they are scamming. (Actually now they are taking credit cards instead of checks to speed things up)PMG stands for "Professional Marketing Group", "Professional Mentoring Group", "PMG Mentors", "Private Mentoring Group", "Vermotion", "Sercure Gate" and the ever popular "College Pro Painters", "PMG Painters", "Campus Pro Painters."
