Google has unleashed its social networking response to Facebook, named Google+. Apparently this has been in the works for awhile, and while just about everyone is going to start drawing comparisons between Google+ and Facebook, there’s a fundamental reason why they’re different: their focus.

I don’t really know what to write about. Been experimenting with Google+. Wrote an opinion piece. Might post that. Probably won’t get sold.

Hey there. Just stopping in to make a daily blog check-in or whatever. I still need to do some writing, transcribing, etc., things like that, but I have been unmotivated most of the day. Part of the day, though, I couldn’t even come into the living room where my computer is to do work without suffering a massive, debilitating headache.
I’ve hooked up this blog with the Networked Blogs option/Facebook plug-in. Now I won’t have to be doing the back and forth anymore. Wooha.
So I’ve gone ahead and signed up for two classes for the fall semester that I need: English 1301 and the first political science class. The cost is $2,134.11.
I can pay a third down of the balance and end up on a plan that would go as follows:
08/22/2011 – $712.11
10/03/2011 – $711.00
11/03/2011 – $711.00
Which I guess isn’t a bad plan for atoning for my sins of lackluster grades and performance. I am only taking 6 credits right now, because that’s all I can afford out of pocket. I might have a gig/interview around the corner. I’m still very hesitant to sign onto something completely full-time, but that’s pretty much all they’ve got for me right now. It’ll help, not having to worry about the expenses associated with a full-on apartment. Should reduce the stress and help me to pay back the federal aid that’s keeping me from being assigned an aid package, on top of paying back some other debts that I owe… After a successful semester, I might be eligible for Pell Grants again. Here’s hoping…
Both of the classes are online, so that’ll keep me free for work. Just gotta keep focused. I posted my Craigslist ad and I’ve gotten a response. I’m just seeing what’s out there right now…
Okay. Back to resumes and things like that.
So I had an epiphany right now. I am motivated by competing against and doing better than others. I am planning on entering more contests related to my chosen creative fields to capitalize on this…
I just have to stay on that.
Does anyone have any painting, writing, or game design contests that they know of?
I have a bone to pick with News One right now, about an article TheGrio featured where they turn X-Men First Class into a piece of “comic book racism”. It’s pretty clear from the article that they have never read the comics, and that they are probably basing their assumptions off of the movie universe of X-Men. If not, they need to fire their resident fanboy. For those of you who have not seen the film or are not familiar with the X-Men Universe, you may want to skip over certain spots in here. I’ll try to keep as many spoilers out as possible, but we need to cover the bases. Continue reading “Comic Book Racism in X-Men First Class? Not So Much…” »
So people that know me know that I spend a lot of time examining the relationships between different races that live here in the United States. My dirty pleasure is reading white nationalist websites and trying to pick apart why they think the way they do. You may also know that I am going to be looking for an apartment in the next 6 months, and that I’d like to have roommates this go ’round. I was thinking of a lot of things related to this – where am I going to go? How many roommates do I want to have? Who am I going to live with?

The freelance writing is going mostly okay. It’s been kind of a struggle to stay positive and to write no matter what. I have some sort of anxiety, I think; typically I assume that it’s performance anxiety, because when it comes to doing, I stall on things pretty frequently. For some reason, even though I know that I’m good at something, I freak when it comes time to prove that I’m good.
Things didn’t used to be that way. You couldn’t stop me from showing off. I was great at everything, and there was no stopping me from showing it.
I hope to get back to that.
