Practice doesn't make perfect but...

Practice doesn't necessarily make perfect blogs but at least there is some improvements going on with my blogs now. If only I could figure out how to get more than one visitor per day!

As you may have noticed, my daily experience with Photoshop is has caused me to work on my fish. Please comment on whether you like the fish or maybe it doesn't really work with this color scheme. I will most likely change the template fourty or fifty times before anyone actually notices this blog anyways so it does't really matter right now. This blog entry is just to give me a break from staring at source code and yelling at stupid templates. I need to bring up my typing speed so here I am.

I suppose this would be considered a rant. What is a rant, you ask? Well, thanks for asking! A rant is like a blog but rants are rarely proofread and usually non-sense, simply a way of channelling a person's frustrations by typing down whatever comes to mind. Almost like rambling on but more exciting and usually controversial or at least offending to someone. Sometimes it is good to stop and read over what you have just typed and other times it is exciting just to click on "Publish Post" and walk away very quickly. Three months later, when you finally run across that old post, you will be entertained by your own wisdom, that is if you have a short memory like me and forget what you just typed the instant that it gets posted. Still, I have been a "Blog Practitionor" for awhile now and I still have no idea what the rules are for ending the blog post. Does it just end abruptly or trail off into some extremely boring and much smaller type size? Oh I see, now I can't change the type size here. Am I supposed to end it with "yours truly," or with some witty and/or snide remark? Maybe an awful looking advertisement would make people forget that they were ever here. Or how about some kind of form you have to fill out or an agreement where you have to click the checkmark box that states: "I was never at this blog, didn't see anything, and will never mention this site to anyone no matter what."

I hate alarm clocks. They almost always wake me up when I really just want to sleep. The radio alarm feature is nice sometimes but if there is nothing on the radio that scares me out of bed then I never do get out of bed. What I need is a huge siren that only shuts off when you turn on the coffee maker and start the email program. Another option could be to install a timed electrical charge that prevents keyboard and mouse use after a certain time and turns off when it is time to wake up again, that might work. ZZZZZZAP

Out of Control

If blogs can get out of control, let this be the testing ground. The point of this blog is to test the limits of the "blog" industry. Porn is popular but so are Casino's and medical products such as Viagra and Cialis. What would you say is the best money maker on the Internet? How far would you go to make a buck?
