So I have finally made it! I am in Dallas, Texas! And I am living in an amazing million dollar home! The only problem? It belongs to my girlfriend’s mother… So I haven’t quite made it yet. But I have started looking for apartments and a job.

The Moving Part

Re-focus: A New BeginningMonday, June 2nd, 2008 with 13 Comments »

Its about that time again. I have had a huge break from writing, but am now ready to come back. It is also about time for my focus to change. In the last year I have grown up a great deal and my interests have changed significantly. This blog will now have a new focus: [...]

Those Google Folks Can Be Pretty FunnyFriday, September 14th, 2007 with 39 Comments »

Oh Google. You have provided us with many great things: searching, emailing, documents. And there is so much more! You seem like such a serious web competitor. You are heavy handed with the likes of John Chow and you proclaim to be free of evil. And while some may view this as a dominating and [...]

New Milestones And A Bright FutureThursday, September 13th, 2007 with 2 Comments »

I have been working tremendously hard for the past few months to shape up this blog. A while back, I wrote a post outlining how I felt that this blog was severely under performing. In fact, being a finance student, I would have recognized this blog as having strong potential but being poorly managed, thereby [...]

I Will Have To Visit Singapore Someday…Saturday, August 25th, 2007 with 35 Comments »

I have always heard stories about this sort of thing in Southeast Asia, but never have I seen the proof! Maybe some of my readers from the region will be able to enlighten us about a certain line item on this receipt; and no, I am not referring to the several lines of taxes. My [...]

What does your Spam say about you?Sunday, August 12th, 2007 with 43 Comments »

I get spam comments; loads of them. In fact, I am overwhelmed with them. Sure, most of my comments are spam free (or I take care of that as soon as possible), but that is only because of the wonderful spam filtering that I have. I still get to look at the kind of spam [...]

I Actually Won a ContestTuesday, August 7th, 2007 with 13 Comments »

Sorry about the silence recently, but I will talk more about that later on. Right now, I just wanted to exclaim that I won something! This is the first blogging contest that I have ever won and I am pumped about it. Some blogs have been accused of not actually following up with their promised [...]

Want to make a new friend?Sunday, June 17th, 2007 with 8 Comments »

I was recently inspired by David Airey to write a post inviting all of you, my faithful readers, to add me as your friend to the various networks that I frequent. I don’t know why this idea never occurred to me before. Sure, every once in a while I put up some badge or something, [...]

What kind of American accent do you have?Wednesday, June 13th, 2007 with 7 Comments »

You know, I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, with an immigrant father from Italy. I just wasn’t expecting these results… I mean, my mom is from Ohio, but still… I have no interesting accent in me…

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)
Midland
(”Midland” is not necessarily the same thing as “Midwest”) [...]

Help Me To Help Myself!Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007 with 15 Comments »

I have been running my website since January of last year. It has been almost one year since I started using my domain to blog. And while things have improved (namely, the crap I put out here and the people reading my crap), I am not quite where I thought I would be after this [...]

To Mac Or Not To Mac… That May Be A Dumb QuestionSaturday, May 19th, 2007 with 11 Comments »

So I have never personally owned a mac of any kind, whether it be a laptop or a desktop. My family has had them (my brother being a huge fan), and I have had a great deal of experience with them, but I still have never owned one myself. However now I am at a [...]
