March 27th, 2008 Random Tidbits

[update] I gave Simba his shampoo bath. He behaved quite well this time, I was surprised and very pleased! Also vacuumed the stairs to get rid of any flea eggs. The poor thing barely had any fleas. I saw none drop during the bath and I took a good look in his fur and at the skin and nothing. It was when I was drying him that two dead fleas fell out. Win. [/update]

I went out with my grandmother (from Cuba, my mother’s mother), my mother and my aunt. It was interesting, I bought quite a few things for myself (which I’ll post in a special blog post I swear. it will include pictures!) for a very low prices. I rule at being cheap, ha!

“It’s not that I’m racist, I just don’t like black people” as said by my mother during the car ride over to Macy’s.

“God made animals so humans can eat them” quoting my aunt after finding out my older brother Mike is a vegetarian (and has been for about three years now).

Isn’t that just ridiculous stuff? I had to endure crap like that all day. I love my aunt, grandma and my mom even though their close-mindedness really gets on my nerves at times.

Simba has fleas. Even though we tried so hard to prevent them. I gave him medication in his fur and skin once a month (store bought, I must confess. as in, I went to Walmart) and he has a flea collar. But alas, I read up on a lot of cat related articles and neither of those things work.

Must’ve been the fact that he’s outside a lot and hangs around strays that did him in.

Later today I’ll be giving him a bath with dog shampoo that kills fleas and ticks (which works on both dogs and cats because we’ve tried it before on him, very potent stuff!). We can’t afford real flea medication like Frontline or Advantage at the moment so we’ll have to make due with randomly pulling socks on our hands and bathing him.

I’ve upgraded my WordPress 2.5 install to the second release candidate. Win.

Waiting for my Wacom Bamboo tablet to arrive in the mail. I purchased the tablet and paid for my Livejournal’s subscription the day before yesterday. My tablet will be arriving any day between Sunday and Wednesday. Mucho thanks to Mitch and Hazel who encouraged and inspired me to buy the same tablet they own. Ha, I’m so original.

I’ll be writing reviews on my site (in other words, ads) to support costs. I’ll try not to spam too much. I’m sorry guys. I already felt like a disappointment with the small little “Check this out” boxes below my entries.

The reason I’m doing this is because my family and I are completely broke and we need to pay bills. I need to pay bills as well and since we’re short on money, it’s kind of hard to do. You know? Can’t pay bills with invisible money.

I’m working on a secondary blog that you guys don’t have to read and suffer through because of ads. Once I get to three months posting on that blog I’ll move all advertisements over. This will NOT be a permanent thing. Posts that are a complete ad (none of it has any thing to do with me, I’m advertising a product or website or something) will have the label “Ad:” following by whatever title I want to give it.

I’m going to start school back up again soon. I’ve decided the whole college thing right now isn’t for me. I’m going to get a license in medical billing and coding and sometime down the line I’ll be getting a license in EKG.

I know it’s stupid to put off college. But my goals in life as soon as I graduated from highschool were to get a decent job for a few years, save up, and travel the world in hopes of finding myself. And by finding myself I mean finding a faith that I truly can connect with.

I’ve been studying a bit about Gnosticism and I’m really interested. My closest female friend (who I’m sure would rather remain anonymous for this) told me all about the ideas concerning Gnostics and it makes amazing sense.

Even if that faith is for me, I’d still like to travel the world and learn (and be surprised!) about the person that I am. Because I like thinking about stuff like that. Humans can do so many amazing things.

My nose itches. Someone scratch it for me? PLZKTHX

January 25th, 2008 Welcome the Shop!

I got frustrated with WordPress’s eCommerce plugin because it wouldn’t work, nor would all the other shop plugins (well. a lot of them did work, just not to my standard I suppose). So I went the cheap way.

I’ve opened a shop, yup. Created my own things thanks to Zazzle.com. You can view what I’m selling in my new Shop page. All I did was make a page in WordPress and post thumbnails to link to the product pages on Zazzle.

I hope you guys at least look at the page, yeah? It’s not much and it pretty much sucks. But I’ll make more as I practice. I’m trying to learn to use Photoshop’s pen tool. I want to draw stuff. ._. Which I’ve never been able to do. So yeah.

Just enjoy the shop. Even if you don’t buy anything, I’d appreciate you guys taking a peek.
