After a couple days of not being able to log into my admin panel, I finally managed to fix the problem. Luckily I remembered to save all of my posts, however I completely forgot to backup the categories and comments. Oh well, relatively minor.

List item #17:”Have an article accepted/published by Cracked.com” completed

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 04:16:40 +0000

I finally got an article accepted and published to Cracked.com! Check it out here, so excited!

List Item #3: “Go to Las Vegas” Complete

Sun, 11 Apr 2010 18:05:01 +0000

I just came back, yesterday, from Las Vegas, knocking another item off of my list. While I had a lot of fun in Vegas, I’m still glad to be home. It’s kind of nice sleeping in my own bed (which is a lot more comfortable than the one in the hotel), and not having to worry about being run over by psychotic cab drivers.

List item #12: “Learn how to shoot a gun” completed

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 07:55:49 +0000

Well, I’ve completed another item on my list. Went to the gun range the other day and fired a 9mm Glock. Cool stuff. I still would never want to own a gun, but I’d be lying of I said it wasn’t fun. I included a picture of my target after, I’m really not the greatest shot.

A crack shot, I am not

List Item #16 Complete

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:49:12 +0000

I technically could have crossed this off my list a couple of weeks ago, but I decided to wait until finished writing. I pitched my first article to Cracked a little while ago (technically, it was an abandon pitch that I repitched, but meh) and it got accepted! I just finished writing it about 20 minutes ago and submitted it, so barring them making me re-do it or anything, it should be on the site sometime in the next month or so. My first paying gig, I’m actually a freelance writer, now!

One More Shot NaBloPoMo

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 08:52:11 +0000

I decided that I’ll give NaBloPoMo one more shot, except I won’t be doing it on this blog. I decided to start up a side-blog specifically for this. The side blog will follow NaBloPoMo’s monthly theme for March of “strange(r)” and will be called One Strange Thing a Day. Yes, I did steal the name and idea from Dan Trachtenberg’s One Cool Thing a Day, but it was a great idea, and I would imagine (or hope, at least) that he would be ok, since I’m not stepping into his turf, per say, and the whole point is to share the strange. Now to go look for some strange stuff…

List item 23: “Start going to the Gym” Complete

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 09:31:50 +0000

Well, I started going to the gym back in January, and being that it is now the middle of February, I’d say that puts me past the “New Years Resolution” group. Currently, I’m only going once a week, but it’s still better than nothing.

Screw NaBLoPoMo

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 02:13:42 +0000

I decided to try to do NaBloPoMo as part of my 101 in 1001 days list, and went strong for about 15 days or so. Then I realized something. It was incredibly stupid. Forcing myself to post every day added no value to this blog, it didn’t make me any more creative. Trying to come up with something to write for NaBloPoMo is probably the first time I’ve hated updating this blog. Sure, my updates are far and few in between, but when I do update, I actually enjoy it. So screw NaBloPoMo. I’m going to just delete it from my list, since I can’t cross it off, and I have no intention of attempting it again.

NaBloPoMo Day 15

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:13:42 +0000

Wow, my viewer ratings are so low that spammers aren’t even bothering with me anymore. I guess it will change if start posting something of value. Well, I’ll work on something for tomorrow.

NaBloPoMo: Day 14

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 06:34:20 +0000

Day 14, still nothing interesting in my life… Don’t worry, though, word is that on day 20, I’ll be replaced by Jay Leno, so it’s all good.
