One more tidbit before I go to sleep, I got another article published on cricketsoda!!!
It's about creating custom ringtones for your iPhone using iTunes and it's cool because you can use any song in your library, not just songs you've bought.
Check it out here.
Be sure to let me know what you think and how it worked for you etc, etc...
You can also check out some of the other stuff I've written there, too!

Pacsun has free shipping?!?!
So I was looking online to find some stuff to take with me on my upcoming trip since just about everyone in the Philippines likes to receive pasalubong (souvenirs) from the U.S. and I came across Pacsun's website and they're offering free shipping on orders over 50 bucks. And judging by the sales they have going at the moment you can get a bunch of stuff for that $50!
They've got sandals starting at $7, tees for $10 and the list goes on and on....
I imagine I'll be spending more than the required $50 for the free shipping, though....lol

A New Start
This blog is, for me, a new beginning or a new start of sorts.
In a little more than a month, I'll be moving halfway around the world to begin a new life. I'm moving to the Philippines to be with my girlfriend/fiance. We will be opening our own little restaurant to pass the time with.
Now that you know a little about my future, it's time to tell a little about my past, since my past is the main reason for this particular blog.
This blog represents, for me, a clearing of the air or a return to the past, a past where I was a better, nicer person before I became so jaded and world-weary, like we all become eventually. Every life experiences it's ups and downs, whether rich or poor, black or white or etc etc. It's what we do with and in the aftermath of these ups and downs that defines us as a person, in my opinion. And, I have to admit, some of the things I've said and done I'm ashamed of even downright appalled at. I've been mean and spiteful for very little reason and oftentimes for no reason at all. I've been deceitful and shady and done things considered criminal. For those things, I've paid the price already. It's for the less physical things, the less apparent things, that I now make penance for.
For and to all those people I've wronged, whether they know it or not,
I'm sorry.
I have no excuse, at least no good excuse. Sure, maybe I was having a bad day, maybe I just lost a job, or couldn't pay the rent on time and, in my frustration, I said things that shouldn't have been said.
I'm sorry.
Will these sorrys make up for my actions? Probably not but I need to say them. I need to add closure to my old life so that I can move on with my new one.
I used to be such a mellow dude and despite what people have told me, I don't think it was all because of the amount of pot I smoked, although I'm sure that helped. I used to be kind and gentle and I hardly ever got mad or even upset. Never had a bad word for ANYBODY. I stuck by that time honored axiom 'If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all'.
As I grew older and life's battles began ending in more losses than wins, I started noticing almost imperceptible changes in my attitude. Actually, it was other people who began pointing it out to me and when I started getting mad because people were pointing it out to me, I began to realize that they were right. I was changing.
At first, I thought these changes, ever so slight, were a good thing. I was becoming a bit more tough and a little less prone to having people walk all over me and use me, which was a common thing that I didn't mind so much because it generally wasn't that bad. As a result of these changes I stopped listening to people. That's the worst thing I could have done. In hindsight, I realize now that when you stop listening to people, you stop seeing them, as well and that's never a good thing. When I stopped listening to and seeing people, I stopped caring. That's gotten me to where I am today. Feeling remorse and guilt over a million small slights handed to people who may but mostly may not have deserved them.
