SmartOnePotter's Xanga

Nobody reads this anymore... well, maybe people do, but nobody that I am fully aware of... but.

Life lately. In comparison to life back in whatever grade I was in last time on Xanga?

Life... is really good and really bad at the same time. Oh! That reminds me of a quote, let me find it...

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."
- Perks of Being a Wallflower

So. A nebulous and unpunctilious recapitulation (go vocab words):

- New job... yuck.
- More money.... not so yuck...
- Finished a great book! Lord of the Flies... love the symbolism
- I found a very nice new friend
- I lost [who was once] a very nice friend
- Finished my scarf and moved onto gloves
- I can't find my knitting needles to finish my gloves...
- There are more people than I thought, and that is good
- Of those people... many are not good. A few exceptions.
- I'm reading a good book that I won't be returning! Hurray!

Hm. Talking to Bradley about hardship in life... he says to just let go of wanting... and be glad of what you have? And embrace what there is, even if its bad. Like, he says, when its cold, he doesn't say "Aghhh its cold," he goes, "Mmmm. Its cold."

Which is interesting...

That kind of ties in with my recent thoughts. Lately... I've realized how imperfect I am. And thats a good thing. I've realized how much I have to learn, and I've recently had so much fun in learning, and experiencing, and just making myself as well-rounded and "perfect" as I possibly can. Because its neat, accomplishing things. Its neat to feel like you're getting better and making progress, and especially with being any type of artist... anything you experience helps, anything you do helps, because it helps you to better understand things. Its like being a painter and getting more paints to choose from, or different brushes to be able to use. And I think thats what Brad means. Embracing any feeling, because its unique and different. Not good or bad. Different.

But whats nice?

Today I realized something. And I've needed to for a long time. Today I realized what I really want isn't what I had... what I really want is what I thought I had. And no matter how I much I look back or how I look at things... I won't get exactly what I once had. I'll get something unique and wonderful, but most importantly, healthy. And thats somewhere infront of me. So by coping with the knowledge that this something will eventually come... I won't want and need it so much. And that helps.

Have a good day, whoever you may be!

Nice Guys Finish Last.

Nice guys always finish last. It makes people not want to be so nice anymore.

Great Song!

Just a reminder, still updating my other site, iroblog.wordpress.com . That's where my writing is, some pictures, and my blog posts. So visit it.

Don't you just love this song? Wait for the whole thing to go through until you exit out, wait until the end of it.

<3 liken her. Yep. Leave comments...

New Site...

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 19:43:27 GMT

I know I've been using the rob.d4a.com site...

but there's so many things better.

D4A quit. They decided, hey, they're giving up, so now I'm even more gunho on getting a real site with a real domain.

But in the meantime...

I've found a GREAT new software called WordPress. It sets up a comment system, search system, and all these other things for me --

Uno Problemo.

This new type of site uses new types of languages, PHP and CSS.

I don't know PHP and CSS.

So I will have to learn if I want to be able to change the layout, or even put in Google Adsense.

I'm in a bit of a pickle.

But for now, I've just switched to the free service of WordPress... go for it. Visit. Comment.

http://www.iroblog.wordpress.com/

Also, I'm going to be needing a domain name soon. Give me suggestions. iRob.com is a no go.

I've come up with:

iRoblog.com
iRobsite.com
iRobsite.com
iRobteen.com

Your suggestions/thoughts...?

Just to let you know, I highly recommend Google Adsense if you have a website (not xanga). In the past three weeks I've made $32.58 off my site. Just a recommendation.

Hey everyone...

I got Google Adsense on my new site! I've already made a little over 5 dollars. Pretty darn neat...

Well, my writing section is up, so please visit it. All the pages have cool color-corresponding ads, which is pretty cool. If you want to help me develop the site more, tell more people about it, to visit it. That way I can get enough money to get a real site, with a real domain (dignoof.com or robsblog.com or irob.com or something along those lines!).

I got 3 comments. Three. 9 days, 3 comments?! You can do better guys. But don't worry, I'll give you a chance to chance to redeem yourself. Here are things you can do:

A. Visit an awesome site targeted by my Google Ads by clicking a link (BUT ONLY ONCE!)

B. Tell 3 other people about my site.

C. Post on my chatterbox some helpful comments on what you think about my site..

D. Do the same, only emailed ^

E. All of the Above.

Your choice! I really want to kick start my site, but do not click on ads by google more than once, because if you do, it will remember your IP address of your computer and then will kick me off of Adsense for cheating. :( Please don't!

Thanks guys.
