Adsense!!!!!!!!!!!!(Explanation)

You may notice that I now have ad's on my page, now before any one freaks out or maybe even takes offense to this let me explain.  I am doing this so that I can make some money on the side, I work full time and would always like some extra income for things and stuff(BILLS!!!)
Now I know that this will take a while and I am being realistic here.  Currently I really don't get a whole lot of traffic to my blog, in fact this month has been my personal best for views with a whopping 174 views.  My ad-sense will most likely only generate a very very small revenue stream for now, but I am thinking about the future with this, if I keep at this and continue to improve on this site/blog and get more involved and have better ways to advertise the value that i earn will in fact increase(Hopefully).  So if this does make you mad in any way I just want to say sorry and that you will have to deal with it in whatever way you see fit^_^

Well, that's all i had for this, just wanted to update on this decision that I have made.  Until then, everyone have a wonderful time.

Housing

My wife and I have recently been chatting about getting some land and a manufactured home for said land, this would make it our own... Or the banks until we payed off the loan.  I'm excited, I have never owned a house before and revel in the fact that this is a strong possibility, this would get me out of renting which I have been doing since I was at the tender age of 18.  One of the coolest things about this is that we are probably going to get at least an acre or two of land, so if I so desire I could always have a tennis/basketball court built behind the house.  EPIC!!!!!!!!  Once this is done I could make my two children play and practice one of the two until they are the best, I will be like Tiger Woods father or the Williams sister's father.  YOU WILL PRACTICE AND YOU WILL LIKE IT^_^
I have been thinking of other things I would like to see on our land.  One thing I think we need as soon as possible would be some kind of car port/cover, kind of like the metal ones that are just a foundation with exposed sides and a cover on the top.  This way when it snows we do not have to dig our cars out, instead we would only have to worry about digging a space wide and long enough to reach the road.

I know this is going to sound stupid but I have had two more followers on my twitter int he last two days, this excites me.  My twitter doesn't have a whole lot of people so when I get any kind of new follower I like to celebrate.  This is stupid but it makes me happy.

Onto other things.

I have been playing Batman: Arkham City, it is amazing, just as amazing as everyone has been saying.  This game got a perfect 10 in Game Informer and it so rightly deserved it's piece of perfection.  To be honest I did not think that it was going to be this good, I was a silent nay sayer, then I played it and have almost beat it and am just flabbergasted with how amazing it is.  Such a well rounded, fun and exciting game to play, this makes me ^_^

Onision

So I have been looking for new YouTube channels to subscribe to as of lately and i recently have gotten into some videos made by a YouTuber by the name of Onision.  His videos are completely random but so so so awesome at the same time.  The funny thing is that at first I kind of thought his videos were shit, but after checking out a bunch of the other videos he has I just kind of grew to love the stuff that he puts out.  So I highly recommend that you check him out and check out his channel as well, I don't really think that you will be disappointed and if you are, well then you can suck my wiener.

Another thing is that I have recently started to Vlog as well as doing this written blog, if you are interested in checking out my Vlog you can see it at youtube.com/theflarida
I have recently been trying to keep a lot of my other pages with the same name as this and my YouTube page that way its just the same thing for all of my sites.  The only page that doesn't really go by this is my Twitter which is @Aflarida(FOLLOW ME!!!).  But anyways, check out my other pages.

Back to writing and not shamelessly plugging my other sites...

So as of recent I have been growing my hair out, I am pretty set on this because it has been a long time since I have had longer hair and to be honest I just want to see what it would look like.  Its funny because I am in the awkward Beatles hair phase where you just look like a good with a bowl cut.  This is the hardest part for me to get past because I realize that I look kind of ridiculous but I know that I just have to stay with it and get past the stupid looking hair phase.  I have also been thinking about how I will cut it if I do decide to cut my hair and I have concluded that I will be giving myself(Actually a hair salon will be giving me a mullet).  I have thought long and hard on this and have come to the conclusion that mullets are FUCKING AWESOME!!!!  fact fact fact...

That's all for today, enjoy the rest of your night, PEACE!!!!!!!!!

The Un-Happy

Oh my lanta, even when you try to make others happy and what not they still find a way to make something into a negative, it's annoying.

Onto other things, one sentence rant is finished.

My youngest son has started rolling over, its amazing and at the same time scary because sooner then later he is going to start crawling and after that walking and then terrorizing the house along with his older brother.  I think that they are expertly set up to be partners in crime for sure, if not, then mortal enemies.  The end outcome has yet to be decided.  To be honest I cant wait to enroll them into sports, my hope is that sooner or later they will be on the same team and I can watch them tag team it up like little boss's and just be little sports stars.  Or they will beat up the kids that mess with them, either way it will be awesome.

The band I am currently in is still on a Hiatus of sorts, our drummer is getting married this week, then they have a honeymoon and then hopefully we can get back into making music.  I know I am looking forward to this because I have been feeling super music depraved as of lately, I need it in my life or I will go crazy, that's a fact.  Until this moment I will have to wait, definitely not patiently but in some way shape and form.

Oh, and one other thing...

ITS MY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Productivity

So this morning I have been pretty productive to the point that I'm actually kind of proud of myself.  I have updated some stuff on this blog and have added my YouTube channel URL and my twitter account to my "description" of me, so check that out and go to each page to see what the fuss is about.

So I recently got my Flip HD and I have to say that it is awesome, I am liking it more and more with every use.  It was defiantly worth the $32 bucks that I paid for it, thanks to Best Buy I got one hell of a deal, you know what would be awesome...?
To be sponsored by Best Buy, think of all the awesome stuff you could get and the discounts, AHHHHHH.

So my son has been watching the movie Rio like crazy, I think we watch it at least four times a day, its insane.  The funny thing is that i actually really like the movie so i really don't mind him watching it all day, plus its awesome to see his reaction to the scenes in the movie.  PRICELESS!!!!!!!

This is all, not much and I haven't written in a couple of days.  I promise to get some more variety coming soon, until then have a good one.  If you don't want to read my description then you can follow me on Twitter @Aflarida and subscribe to my YouTube channel at youtube.com/theflarida so go and do both.

The App. Store

So i have been updating my apps. on my iPhone and I noticed that the IGN app. that i have is now offering a .99 cent fee to get rid of the adds that they have when you are browsing their articles.  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who in their right mind would pay for that unless they have now made the adds cover 3/4's of the screen, which if they did indeed do that then F them in their A's, F em hard...

REAL HARD!!!!!!!!!

I think that my wife found a job in Corcoran that she is going to try and get, this could mean myself and the family moving back to Hanford...
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This means that i could get back into music with all of my music playing friends down there, this is a wonderful thing in and of itself(I probably just fudged up that saying).  Not to mention if she got this job then I could get a little shit nothing job and just chill, take care of the boys and play music with people and play shows allt he fudging time, its like a dream come true, A DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I might even get a job at Tachi working in the Vault with people who aren't fake as fuck and act like children, but lets not get to ahead of our selves ok.  OK!!!!!!!!!!

I hit level 31 in legends of Yore yesterday.  Just wanted you to know.

Oh yeah, I need to mention someone in this blog, someone who showed me all of the games that I had previously talked about like 3 blogs ago or so.  His name is Cody, he works at the same place as me, he's pretty bad ass and I hear of most indie games directly from him, he's like my indie dealer and I am his cock fiend sucking D for my next hit.(Your gonna love this Cody)

Anyways, IM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not Really What I Want

With every day that passes I realize more and more that what I am doing currently job wise in my life is not what I want at all.  In fact I'm pretty sure I am starting to hate it which sucks, in no way shape or form do I want to hate the job I am tasked to do day in and day out.  But it is happening and it seems that there is really nothing that I can do about it, regardless.  What I do know I want to do is start up a business, which I am int he process of writing up the business plan for, but its going to take time.  I'm going to go by what people say, good things come to those that wait, right?

Anyways, on to other less depressing things.

I have been music starved lately, I NEED it and I NEED it now...NOW!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting for my Flip HD to come in the mail, well actually to be more accurate to arrive at the Best Buy that I chose for it to go to.  Once I get this key piece of equipment I will be posting some acoustic videos of my band and I that way we can at least be doing something other then doing nothing.  In fact I plan on doing other things with this camera, like actual videos, funny videos, serious videos and all of the other genre's that I did not just mention.  I'm pretty sure that I will even start up a Vlog on the youtube channel I already have, I'm not going to post the URL to that yet but once I have more stuff on there I will post the URL and the people who visit this blog can go and check it out.

Well, that's all for today, sorry it took me so long to write up a new blog, I will try to write more often this coming week.

A Business

So, I have been in talks with a buddy of mine about starting up a business based out of Seattle, Washington.  I'm pretty confident that I can write up a business plan for this but the only problem is coming up with the start up cash, could be up to $20,000.  Now that is a lot of money to just throw down, I would have to save for a couple of years, what i do know is that my friend and I are sick of working for other people and would love to start our own thing and be our own bosses.  I'm confident that where there is a will there is a way and I think that with the both of us together we can make this a reality, just have to barrel thru it and get shit taken care of.  if all goes well we could be in the Seattle area or directly in it within two to three years tops, this excites me.

I keep having these day dreams of how our bill boards would look and how our commercials would be and let me tell you, they will be amazing, THAT'S A FACT!!!!!!!!!!!

Work has been crazy tonight, just non stop until now, go go go.  i have been helping guests and employees like a BOSS tonight, that is a fact.

It is my Friday tomorrow, I think that on my Saturday I will finally beat Mass Effect 2 and send that shit back so I can get the next game on my que.  it seems that Gamefly will be my RPG vendor lol, I will be getting them and destroying them in game and then sending said games back to the mothers crying hysterically.  BOO YAH!!!!!!!!!

Nights

At the place of my business I work what is called the Grave shift, which really translates to, "the shift that sucks, makes you tired 24/7 and will not allow you to see your family as much as you want to."  As you can see I dont really like the shift that i have, in fact I hate it, I hate it a lot.  My whole body is all out of whack, Im always tired and feeling like poo, its no bueno.

On to other things.

Does anyone else have a Google+ account???
I have to say that it is an intresting thing, I still haven't figured out the little things about it but its getting better and better day after day.  Im liking it more and more, I think that one of the main reasons I like it so much is because not everyone is on it and that is good, I'd rather they all stay over at Facebook instead.  As of late I have become the type of person that really doesn't want people whom I work with to know what I do or what kind of stuff I am posting.  People talk, and a lot of people cant keep anything to themselves and that pisses me off to no end.  I think its because I am not a nosy person there fore I at it when people are nosy and try to get into my business.  If I want you to know what i did over my weekend wouldn't I just tell you?

Well, looks like tonight was just a rant, oh well.

The Off Time(and games)

I am currently on my days off, I enjoy these times because I get to spend a hell of a lot more time with my family then I get to when I have to work.  My family is my everything and the more time I have with them the more I get to bond and enjoy what we have to offer as a whole, its very good.

So, I have been getting a considerate amount of views lately, it is nice and I have to say that i enjoy it very much.  I hope that whoever is coming here and reading these blogs is able to take something from them, even if its just a couple of laughs or even if you think they suck, oh well.  Anyways, thank you to all of you who have been coming here, it means a lot.

So i have been paying attention to some indie game developers lately.  Some of them are actually pretty cool people trying to make a living doing what they love to do, I think that they should be getting more attention then what they get.  So if you come here to read my blog then you need to check out a game called Legends of Yore, you can buy it at http://www.legendsofyore.com/  or you can get it on your iPhone as well, either way it is an amazing game.  To best describe it, its an 8-bit dungeon crawler with Diablo like features, not as many but you can still see and feel the resemblance, needless to say I have been playing like crazy.  Also on a side note, the creator of the game is a super nice guy, you can get to know him a little better buy following him on Twitter @cokeandcode you will not be disapointed.

Mojang Studios makes a great game called Minecraft, if you haven't heard about it yet then you have been living under a rock which has been under an even bigger rock.  You can check them out and Minecraft at http://www.minecraft.net/, so do it.  Follow these guys on Twitter @carlmanneh  @jeb_  @Kappische  @JahKob  @mollstam  @minecraftnews  and  @notch

Next up is a game called Terraria, oh my lanta, this is a game I have been playing like a mad man and am feverishly waiting for the next update to come forth.  Really though, I want it now, like RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!  This game is initially Minecraft in a 2D setting but it integrates so much more from other games like Castlevania(plat forming and weapons), Megaman(boss fights) and Action RPG's(battle system and item buying/inventory).  You can check out their website at http://www.terrariaonline.com, I personally own their game off of the steam network, as of now I have no idea if you can get them from another site, but really, go get it now, you will not regret it.  Follow these guys on Twitter @Tiyuri  @Demilogic  @confuzzledyma  and  @Terraria_Logic

So i guess this blog turned in to me giving you some ideas about awesome games.  Your welcome ^_^

The Pot Calling the Kettle Black

Oh my lanta, it is funny when I over hear my employee's talking shit about other employee's for things they do just as much as that employee.  Fudging priceless, these are the idiots that I work with.  Of course not all of them are idiots, just a majority, the rest who are not are actually good and awesome people to be around and people who's throats I don't want to rip out...  Just saying.

Into other news, I have been sick and drinking gratuitous amounts of green tea in order to make myself feel better(more of a placebo effect then a real one).  I love the way that it tastes, its like gold inside of my mouth, no wait.  Like a cloud wrapped in gold and then put into my mouth, yeah, its that good.  Its seems that my first cold of the year is coming to me in stages, I already have gone thru the shitty sore throat that leads to ear ache portion and am now in the stuffy nose that drips and drips and drips stage.  But at least I'm not hurting anymore and that is all that counts.

Random Note:  I need to fill out my FAFSA form ASAP!!!!

I think the next blog will be Powers Part 2, I'm just saying.  I have been thinking of more powers that I think would be awesome, I might even do a Lame Powers section, but who knows.

I've been trying to figure out some sort of business that I could start up, what kind of product I could sell and how I would go about selling said products.  I've been putting in some serious thought into this.  I am tired of working for people, I want to be my own boss and forge my own path instead of having to listen to people who I do not respect and who do not respect me.  Any ideas?  I would love to open up a hobby shop for like table top games and card games and all of the above game wise.  The only problem is where I live, the area is horrible for that sort of thing, most stores with these types of products don't generally last very long and die a horrible gruesome death.  Like they always say, its all about location, location, LOCATION!!!!!!!!

Later.
