WordPress and Suze Orman

Since I am not completely in the mood to devise a focused discussion on one particular topic of interest, today, I am going to write randomly on multiple topics. Why? Because this is my blog and that is what I want to do. LOL

Here we go.

- I am making plans to move this blog over to Word Press here in the near future. I did purchase a web domain and storage space through this web hosting service (Blue Valve), but I've been having unsatisfactory support from them. I've sent several e-mails with problems I have been having, in which only ONE of them has gone answered. I would not recommend this web host to anyone. So, I think that I will try 1 & 1 Internet, upon the recommendation of Moby from the Gay Bloggers tribe. Here's a shout-out to you, Moby!! Once I get the domain/web host issue resolved, the blog remodel will commence.

- After some hesitation due to the recent attack, I need to go out tonight. Tonight, Smash TV of Bpitch Control are at Rebar, fulfilling my need to dance to some good electro music. Now, if I could only see Ellen Allien DJ now!

- Let's for a second crunch the following numbers:

My age: 32
My annual income: $25,300 (approx.)
Money to my name (as of 03/19/05): $245 (approx.)
Debts and bills unpaid (Non-student loans): $5,000 (I think)
Student loans outstanding (under current payback rates): $25,000 (approx.)

What does all this translate to? Honestly, I am not Suze Orman, but in my mind, I am making WAY less that what I am worth. I have a Paralegal degree (thus far, USELESS). Money has always been a sore subject with me. Money is the spawn of the devil. That being said, I still want to make A LOT more. I like where I work, but I want more challenging work than simply cleaning the messes of others. Seriously...

- Speaking of Suze Orman, I like her. She honestly gives ordinary folks like me and you no nonsense financial advice in a non-judgmental tone of voice. She wrote a new book for the Young, Fabulous, and Broke! That is me. Hee hee! Seriously, I have a lot of respect for this woman. Suze, if you are out there, HELP ME!!!

- SIX MONTHS MINUS ONE DAY to DEAD CAN DANCE SHOW!!!

- I don't understand. How on earth can a person be denied a proper funeral. How low do you have to be to do something like that! Talk about the LOWEST of the lowest common denominator of human life.

- That is all for now.

Not Quite Feeling Up to Par

I am now recovering from being sick over this weekend. I ate something I should not have. Why? Because I am a dork….maybe. With this in mind, I am not totally in the mood to write anything of significance tonight on this blog. Please bear with me. I hope to be in full blogging mood in the next couple days, once I feel like I can start digesting food properly again.
