I didn’t get around to putting the new design up and I don’t know if I ever will 🙁

It rained most of the day today so now I have to mow tomorrow, *sarcasm* yay. I am also hoping to find the parts I need from Ford, so a stop by the dealership would probably be a good idea 🙂

I am trying to think of a new name for the site, but I haven’t been able to come up with anything that is good…

I have finally decided a new color scheme, well, I think I have decided. Maybe the new design will be up by the end of today, if I don’t have to put up with someone complaining about me uploading it while they play a game.

You may (or you may not, who knows) be wondering why I haven’t been updating the website in a while. Well, I am working on a new design for it and I just can’t get it to look right so I am trying to figure that out while at the same time trying to do some web work for some other people.

You may have noticed the ads at the tops of some of the pages as well. I decided that I needed to try and make a little money while doing this whole web thing, so I added them. They only pay out if someone clicks on them so if something interests you on one of them, click it and we are going to both like the results 😉

Other than that the only news is that my truck is in the shop for two weeks now and Lyndsay’s family may have decided on a house. Anyway, I hope to have a new design up soon, as you can tell, I am not a visual person =)

Yeah, so I haven’t updated the site like I said I would but I haven’t been able to come up with anything that looks halfway decent…. I am going to work on it tomorrow and hopefully come up with something that is pleasing to the eye and fast.

Well I will be working on a new content system for the site as well as a new look. Hopefully I will get smilies and a new design up by tomorrow. It all depends if I get the good ‘ole Ford Bronco washed and cleaned out or not… I also hope to get the message board working so that it doesn’t display e-mail addresses as it does now (so that they don’t get spidered and you get spam).

You should check out http://www.ensight.org for some “techy” type stuff… It is a blog that a few of the staff at http://www.sitepointforums.com put together to post computer and technology related articles and news. I was invited to start posting a few days ago and have made a few postings already… Check it out, you might find it interesting or boring, depending on how technology interested you are =)

Well Lyndsay and I went to Surfside beach on Saturday with my buddy Andy and his girlfriend. I did some boogie boarding and swam out about a quarter of mile off shore just to see if I could. The surprising thing was that the beach was actually nice!! Since Surfside is near the refineries and the offshore oil rigs can be seen from the beach the water sometimes (most of the time) is brown and hard to see…. But on Saturday it wasn’t bad at all, we had crystal clear water most of the way out with a little seaweed, but no biggie. I did get a horrible sunburn which has now turned my chest and back almost purple… I’ll never go to the beach without sunblock again!!

The pain is so bad I haven’t really moved in two days. I have tried this Aloe Vera stuff and it works for about, ohhh, 20 minutes, then I have to put more of it on!! Anyway, I guess it’s my fault and I should have listened to my mother (yeah, she’ll love hearing that) and put sunblock on. Lyndsay and I have both learned a valuable lesson; sunscreen is a must!!! =)

Well it has been another week…

I went to Target with my mom today. Shopped around, looked at Father’s Day gifts, and bought a few things. Somewhat unproductive but at least I was out of the house! =)

I came home and tried to figure out some of the wiring on my truck for the fog lights. It looks pretty basic but it will probably take me about two days to get totally rewired with new lights and new switches. I just hope it doesn’t cost too much.

I grilled for the family tonight… Mostly chicken with some other stuff. My mom was making fun of me saying that I was practicing for living in the apartment next semester. She always acts like I am a moron and that I don’t know how to cook. She told me how to put the meat on the grill…. For those of you who didn’t laugh, I’ll repeat that. She told me how to put the meat on the grill!

I am gonna go look for a job tomorrow and I will probably just be as unsuccessful as I have been the last few weeks.

Well, since I am really getting desperate for a job, I think that working for a cell phone company would be fun. I guess sales would be the best, probably for Sprint or Cingular.

I think I’ll go Monday and see if they have anything available. The problem with me is that I don’t want a job where I deal with whiny people. Maybe sales will get me away from that… who knows.

Lyndsay and I watched “The Hot Chick” and “Stealing Harvard” last night… “The Hot Chick” was funny at times but a little slow. I think Lyndsay liked it more than me, but oh well, it was funny. “Stealing Harvard” was a little dumber and kind of dissappointing… There were some funny parts but altogether it was boring. I will say that watching either one was better than watching “Moulin Rouge”. Lyndsay knows what I am talking about 😉

Well I definitely need a job. I am going to need money for the apartment next semester and I don’t have any in the bank account at all.

I have two websites I have to get done before the end of summer and I haven’t started on either one. They shouldn’t take long, but still, I need to get cracking.

Lyndsay and I went shopping today, mostly for her. She wanted to look at bathing suits and flip-flops, and I just tagged along telling her what I liked and didn’t like when she asked. I am going with her and her family to see her sister graduate high school on Sunday, so that should be fun. I get to meet the part of the family I haven’t met yet (some of the uncles and cousins).

Why can I not find a job?! This city has 58,000 people and you would think that there would be an available job somewhere (well somewhere that doesn’t involve me saying “would you like fries with that).

We finally got some much needed rain this afternoon and the weather report said we will probably get more tomorrow. It’s pretty good news since almost all of Houston hasn’t had rain in over a month. They were just starting to put rations on the water supplies around town.
