A brownie in the morning followed by brushing your teeth will result in a burp akin to a peppermint patty. Mmmm!
If you try to force another though you risk vomiting in your mouth.
=(
That is all for now.

So many
There are so many things that I want to do but I can't. For one, I can't afford it. Two, I don't want to really start anything untill after I move into my new apartment. Which really sucks. When your roommates are so slobish (it's a word because I said so) that you don't want to do anything in your house.
I miss cooking.
Not a random thought, cooking is one of the things that I can't wait to start doing again. In the past four months I think I've cooked maybe 5 times and those have all been at Sara's house. It's all good though, she likes it.
Next on the list of things that I want to do: Go to the gym. Sara and I talked about being gym buddies but with us having seperate work scheduals it's difficult. So, new job = new schedual = gym with Sara.
Gym + Cooking my own food = More energy for me.
Which is something that I need. Especially in the winter, I always feel so drained this time of year.

Things to come.
So in my last post I talked about a website (http://www.gryphsgames.com/) that I made and then subsequently abandoned. Well Starting next weekend, February 1st, I will begin updating that site again. I don't know how well it will be or how frequent the updates will be but I am open to some hints, tips, suggestions and/or help.
I also will be making a conscious effort to update my live journal at least once a week and this blog every other day. Which for me is a big change. Usually when I try to be more active in my online persona it's because my offline life has gone into the shitter. Well, not this time.
In fact this time it's the complete opposite. My life is great! I have an awesome girlfriend, an OK job with a terrific promotional opportunity (that, unfortunately, I don't think I'll get), another job lined up that pays a lot more than my current job (but less than the promotional job) and a new apartment to move into around the end of February.
So I guess you could say I actually have a lot to write about. I'll also be shamelessly plugging my website and LJ because, well, what else do people do?

First Post
So for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to start my own business. Be my own boss, come up with my own ideas for MY business, that sort of thing.
Unfortunatly that hasn't happened. Yet. But I don't know when it will ever happen. I have these great ideas but they all require me to have a lot more money than I do. I've thought about finding an investor or 16 to help with the funds but most of them don't like to put their money on the line when they're being pitched by someone with no college education. Don't get me wrong, I see where they're coming from. If someone told me they couldn't finish college because they couldn't pay THAT bill why would I want to entrust $100,000+ of MY money to that same person.
I've even had some people tell me that my idea was "GREAT!" "FANTASTIC!" "WONDERFUL!" but "no education" equals "no money"
Another problem I have is coming up with small ideas and going forward with them. Here's an example: I started a website that was supposed to report on up and coming fantasy/sci-fi movies, tv shows and games. I came up with the idea one night after I had spent several hours searching for something related to do. So I created the website! Searched endlessly for new games, tv shows and movies that hadn't had much publicity. I found a game that looked good, still in devolopment at the time.. hell still in devolopment now! but looked good, the devolopers had great ideas. I emailed the lead devoloper with a few questions; the last of which was "would it be ok if I replicated your news posts on my site? I really want to help build the hype for this", to which the reply was "Yes! We'll take as much as we can get."
Approximatly 2 weeks later I lost interest in the site. I was in school at the time and it was taking to much time to try to find new content. I asked my friends at school if they would be interested in joining a small start up iCompany (new word right there, you heard it here first) but no one wanted to. So that project died (sad face).
Don't get me wrong. I don't mind working hard, long hours but I don't mind a little help on occasion either. So here's something that I would like to ask anyone reading this. What are some things that I can do, from home, to make some extra money?
And please nothing that I need to "invest" money into first. I look at all of those as scams.
