*Hi Dr. Nick!*

I'm in a somewhat random mood today, been wanting to write something but I can't come up with anything coherent. But I figured I would just write something anyway.

Work is slow right now and I installed a couple new plugins to the site a couple days ago, been itching to see how they'll work out. They're nothing really spectacular, but they should help my search ranking One plugin is supposed to generate a Meta Description for posts based on a snippet from the post. The other generates site maps. So heck yeah

On the gaming front, I think I'm getting close to beating Final Fantasy 3 on my DS. The games has actually taken longer than I was expecting. I'm getting close to 30 hours now, it's been pretty good game so far. A little cookie cutter as far as the story line goes, but the overall gameplay mechanics are pretty good and the graphics are pretty sharp to boot. I'm going to write up a more in-depth review of it when I get finished, then it's on to Final Fantasy 4 for DS

On my book front I just finished reading: "The Way of Kata." Another good book by: Lawrence Kane and Kris Wilder. I would recommend it to any Martial Artist that wants a better understanding of the types of applications that can be contained within the Forms they study. Now I'm on to: "The Little Black Book of Violence." Also by Kane and Wilder.

On the car geek front, I found a MAF upgrade for Kat, along with a 70mm TB. When I get the exhaust upgraded (decided I want to go true dual) upgrade the headers, it's going to really breath well after I put the MAF and TB to boot. After which point I'm sure I'm going to need to get the ECU flashed to really take advantage of everything. Meh, it'll all be done when it's supposed to be.

Speaking of just relaxing and letting things happen, a friend told me a little while ago that life is what happens while you're planning. I've been seeing this come up, I find it funny that I'll put things like taking the trash out and cleaning the cat box off with the thought: "I'm busy, I'll do it later." Even though it takes a whopping 5 minutes to do.  So now instead of looking around and thinking "Aaarggghhhh! So busy when am I going to get through all this stuff?" The past week or so, it's been more: "Hmm, I've already played some video games, read some from my current book, and cleaned up a good portion of the apartment, now what am I going to do?" With that though I've also realized I need to put more of what I want to do as a priority, I found myself thinking "I want to practice Martial Arts more, I'll do it when I get more time." but I realized that I just needed to do it. So I've been doing much better about practicing my stuff, which if nothing else makes me feel a lot better.

Yesterday I found myself wondering what I have to offer the rest of the world aside from doing Tech Support or  teaching kids Karate (the later of which is really fun I must say). Really it's that I want to evolve what this website is offering. I'd like to have more to give people than just some narcissistic ramblings about why my life is so cool. Anyone have any ideas?

On another note for the site, I've been working on adding some affiliate links to help me generate some money. Mostly to help me put stuff into my car, which will give me more stuff to write about Everyone wish me luck!

Been busy with school, work, and teaching. My billiards class has been fun, learning how to control the cue stick and make the cue ball do some fun stuff. We had an 8 Ball tournament last week, I managed to win one of three games pretty solidly.

My Psychology class has been interesting, we've been learning about Operant and Classical Conditioning.

In my Cyber Security class we've been learning about the basics of security systems in use right now as well as the basic principles of designing a security system. There was the idea of Security by Obscurity and really how dumb of an idea it is.

I got a text from my mom about my last post. She pointed out that my lust for engines and horsepower didn't come from my Dad. Which is very true, I didn't mean to say there aren't women who don't appreciate and lust over horsepower just as much as males. Just that my female friends haven't appreciated Kat's rumble near as much as my male friends.

Anyway, everyone have fun!
