(no subject)
im going to start a website with topics of thought on them, somewhat like a blog but with a navigatable tree structure with a spread of topics going from
*Development tab
school
-why paying more for school doesn't neccessarily matter, its more about how connected the faculty is in your field
-my experiences with UHart, and hopefully find more kids to give their opinions of their schools so a database can be built slowly
-lots of how-to's on getting internships and ahead in classes. ties into the life section a lot
life
-try to offer methods of attaining happiness. i'm really centered on using zen methods and taoism, but that hasn't been what keeps me together lately since i've just been a mess but keeping myself occupied with lots of projects
-how to make money for school. the webs a great way especially with google adsense. its what i plan to do with the site anyways. i'll have a listing of good books and ways to get software to create it and how to manage it etc. it'll probably take me a good 6-8 months for this section alone but i think the payoff would be great.
work
-what to anticipate when it comes to work. probably go a little into being baked on the job (haha) or just how to move up the ladder. I'm not too specialized myself but i can offer some tips from the six jobs i've worked so far and my internship.
-essay on the topic of choice of profession. you can make bills doing something, but unless you like it you're done. i find myself taking jobs because the pay is good only to find the stuff that i'm doing just fucking blows and i hate it. happiness is more important than money, but theres always a way to make money doing things that make you happy and its just a matter of finding the middle ground.
i'd also like to incorperate a tab called 'enthused' which i'm just going to ask everyone that i know about something that they're interested in. usually people gather a lot of knowledge about things that they like and we should all share this. its best to learn from other people that are interested in what they're talking about because they'll be the most willing to continue trying to explain themselves. it'll probably be a email system open to people saying 'if you're interested in a certain topic, feel free to write about it and we'll post it' so that i dont have so many scaling costs for web development that get way out of hand. for example, a simple, built in web calculator costs about $25000 to put on a site. at least thats what was quoted for us. i'm going to keep my
i'm not the most technical yet online, but i'm learning dreamweaver and photoshop to be able to accomplish this, and i have a feeling that i'm going to have to get some grasp on javascript and other things. i have a crash course on dreamweaver which i'm going to be doing as soon as meghann goes back home. as soon as i start messing around with dreamweaver i think i'll have more of a handle on what i need to do in photoshop. i'm really getting more of a grasp on what i can do with photoshop and more of an idea of how to do it since i've been applying some of it at work helping rhonda darken images and trying to do some other stuff before we print them. i really should be doing more tutorials but then again, it was only last month that i decided i wanted to get into web stuff. the month before i was completely disinterested.
i really like the way that the goodle adsense and adwords systems are so intuitive. once my boss and i figure out when and how much we're willing to pay for an outsourced site, the sooner its done, and the sooner i can begin marketing it on adwords. i'll get probably ~5% of the profits from the site which should be ~10000 a year hopefully. thats more than i've made a year my entire life, so hopefully the blogs adsense will stack upon it nicely. then i'll start working on a web firm with my friend phil. we'll just take the money that we get to pay others to make sites that we want for new business ideas. theres lots of ways to make money on the internet its just gathering the capital to create.
for all of you thats are wondering more so how i'm doing, instead of how my thoughts are doing... heres the scoop
i'm living in hartford now in my apartment. i live with two 40 year olds. yeah i know, huge gap, but living with kids my age results in wayy too much partying. i save that for the weekends when i come home and hang out with hippies.
i have a buick century from 94 which is a shitmobile but it scores me points in hartford since A) i dont get robbed, B) alcoholics dont even bother coming to my window to ask for money, and C) my car will NEVER end up on cinder blocks, or anything to that extent.
emotionally i'm a decent void. i feel but not too much anymore. i spent enough time fighting depression that not too much shocks me. cept when i watch PETA videos and i feel so disgusted with people that can hurt other living things. i fucking hate you midwest cowfarmers.
i'm interning right now at a signs shop in east granby, supposedly learning a lot about the businessworld but in fact i'm just a tool for a businessowner who makes me do this boring work for 8 bucks an hour. fuck this. i hate my job but i'm staying with it for the prospects of long term income from managing the e-commerce marketing. i hope it works out, if it doesn't then i've wasted a summer that could have been better spent getting 15 dollars an hour (tips included) bussing tables somewhere.
i want to read more but i'm usually tired after work since i'm the bitch and i have tocarry shit around and stand up all day. i've spent the last twenty minutes posting because i'm an asshole to my coworkers. i dont know how they've managed to do this stuff for the last 13 years.. oh yeah... they get paid 14-16 dollars an hour.
been playing a lot of guitar. i have a pod-xt now and i'm going to do some more recording soon, hopefully. told myself i wanted to have a cd before the summer was over but thats not going to happen. i dont have enough confidence in my voice to really be able to do anything solid. maybe if i got lessons. maybe if i had enough hours in the day. i'll get karate lessons before voice lessons anyways because i want to get back into shape. i shouldn't feel so tired all the time. if i was in shape i could proobably pick up voice lessons with the increased energy. hahah. so many plans that i dont have enough time to accomplish.
next year i'll be the president of the young entrepreneurs and managers society at UHart, and also the pres of students in free enterprise. i'll be writing summarys every month and micromanaging everyone so that we can meet goals. i still have to email the teams and make sure that we have volunteers for the sales we're planning on having to the MBA students the first 5 nights that school is in session. Good luck to me for finding people. I'll probably end up doing 3/5 of the nights like a sucker.
hope everyones feelin great out there.
