Positive Things are Happening

What's up party people!? Hope everyone is doing great on this beautiful and miserably hot Friday afternoon. You know what I think is funny? In the winter, people constantly complain about how cold it is. "Oh," they cry to the heavens, "how I miss the warm touch of Sun. I must shut myself inside and pray to whoever is listening until I can once again wear shorts and a t-shirt without freezing. And then, once summer finally does show up... "Oh god! I can't stop sweating! It's so hot I can't even enjoy it. I must shut myself inside and sit by a constantly running fan until the heat fades away again. What I wouldn't do for an ice-cold anything right now to cool me off!"

Does anybody else notice when that happens? I think it's hilarious because I think everyone does it. Even me.

BUT, I'm not here to talk about the weather. Or, maybe I am. I don't really have a theme for this blog, so I guess I could've just stopped one paragraph earlier and called it good, but I won't do that. I've got some half-good news to declare:

The last few days I've had two separate phone interviews. One for an internship at an online magazine. The second for a content creation job at a business that I don't want to name just in case I don't get the job, but I did do really well in both interviews. I also filled out two online evaluations for two other job opportunities. So, I'm hoping that these lead me down the path I'm wanting. I'm not letting myself get too excited about these things. Better to keep one's standards low because if it goes bad, oh well, but if it goes good, than it's unexpected and exhilarating.

Oh yeah, and I submitted a couple stories to some online magazine contests. So everyone wish me luck on those.

I do have a good topic of discussion, but I think I've used up a good amount of space on this blog. And, the topic is a more serious topic that I don't want to damper all the positivity. But, I might also just write about it later tonight. I guess we'll all have to wait and see.

Until next time... Goodbye...

Next time will be tomorrow at the latest. Okay, buh-bye.

Y2K Bug / New Blog

Image
Y2K bug, also called Year 2000 bug or Millennium Bug, a problem in the coding of computerized systems that was projected to create havoc in computers and computer networks around the world at the beginning of the year 2000 (in metric measurements K stands for thousand). After more than a year of international alarm, feverish preparations, and programming corrections, few major failures occurred in the transition from December 31, 1999, to January 1, 2000. Until the 1990s, many computer programs (especially those written in the early days of computers) were designed to abbreviate four-digit years as two digits in order to save memory space. These computers could recognize “98” as “1998” but would be unable to recognize “00” as “2000,” perhaps interpreting it to mean 1900. Many feared that when the clocks struck midnight on January 1, 2000, many affected computers would be using an incorrect date and thus fail to operate properly unless the computers’ software was repaired or r...

Mental Illnesses Personified

Image
Alright, so this morning I was sent a link this morning to 15 illustrations of mental illnesses represented as houses. It was really cool and thought-provoking, so, thanks to Nyla Grigsby for sending me the link. I'll share it here . Check it out, but not before you read this post (obviously). After looking through those pictures, I was reminded of a series of drawings I found a couple years ago with the same idea (only much more frightening - which I like). If you're not aware, every October, artists from all around the world participate in a drawing challenge called "InkTober" where they make one ink drawing a day for the entire month. In October 2016, an amazing artist Shawn Coss  decided to make his own original prompt for the month. Shawn wanted to focus primarily on personifying mental illnesses and disorders. These illustrations are crazy awesome, scary, realistic . Shawn manages to capture the struggle and turmoil of those who suffer with these illnesses...

GOING AWAY PARTY!

Image
HELLO LOYAL READERS! All 7 or 8 of you if I'm not mistaken. Thank you for continuing to read my blog every day for the last 310 days! Or, if you've just clicked on the links without reading the articles, that's also okay because it still shows up as if you did read it, so thanks for even clicking the links at all. I'm sure they were getting annoying after around day 50. Good thing I went on for another 260! So, I've been thinking about this move for a while now, and I think today is the perfect day to do it. While, yes, this will be the last post on this specific platform, it will NOT be the last you hear of me chucking my random interests into your faces. In fact, I like to think of this as an upgrade. An upgrade that will benefit all of us! Now that I've finally figured out how Patreon works, THAT will be where any blog posts, interesting articles, short stories and general updates on what's going on in my life will be posted. This way I can...
