Updated Projects

Since I'm in the habit of keeping all my friends and family in the loop, I thought that I would take a moment and dial you in on one or more of my newly created projects. I know that it might not be the most exciting news that you'll ever hear, but I like sharing my web work with both of my web readers. Isn't that what a blog is for? I thought so. So here, we, go...

Since I've recently gotten married a strange and funny thing has begun to occur. I'm more interested in home decor than I have been in the past. I guess that it's probably something that has to do with having a home to put that kind of stuff in. With women I think that they call it a nesting instinct. With guys I think they usually call it gay; which is really unfair, I think. Its just that I'm in touch with my feminine side. Regardless, that is what I'm going with. Plus there are lots on manly home furniture products. For instance there are TV stands for big screen TVs which are a "man thang". So I don't feel too bad about getting into the home decor frame of mind.

Since I've been looking at more and more home furniture products and designs I decided to start another blog about them. I could post the information here, but this is more of a generalized blog about things happening in my life and my thought processes. I wanted have one that was more focused around home furnishings where I wouldn't be boring my audience, both of them, with stuff that they cared nothing about. However, since I've had a bit of a change of perspective myself in recent months I thought that I should share about my new home furniture blog with anyone who is interested in that kind of thing. I do have a number of married friends. Not that it is a requirement to be married for you to have this as an interest, but I'm proof that it can totally help you pay more attention to end tables, lamps, and which styles will go well together (and which one will not). You can go to Home Furniture Decor - Thoughts & More to check it out if you like. Feel free to give any feedback you want to - comments are always good even if they are critical. I would love your input on anything from canopy bed curtains to a makeup vanity. So don't be shy if you have something you wish to share about my interior design thoughts :)

I'll probably be around a bit later to post a bit about college football since today is a huge day in that sport. SO until then...

Be good, and if you can't, at least be good at it ;)

Thanksgiving Postmortem

Well, Thanksgiving is now over, and we are forced to realize the cold hard facts here at Loopness. We all ate too much, and overindulged until we could indulge no more. Then we woke up and did it all over again. Lots of sleep was needed to overcome the glorious day of excess. The damage to our cholesterol counts aside in the very back of our consciousness, it was a really great day. The cheescake that I made was a big hit with Jana's family. There was even a request for me to make another one for an upcoming birthday. This was probably the same person who ate 3 slices of it that day! Of course, I mean, really who could blame them? Have you ever had that cheesecake recipe? If you have then you know that, "Gram's Cheesecake" as we affectionately call it, can be insanely addictive. In fact, I believe that if the a previous Surgeon General (Mr. C. Everett Koop) were to try it he might release a statement that it is as addictive as heroin. OK, maybe that is being a little extreme, but even so, I'm not completely convinced that it is too extreme. It's good, and that is an understatement of ridiculous portions (the portions pun was thrown in for Dad).

The evening was a good one as the Longhorns survived an inspired Texas A&M team that fought really hard for all 4 quarters. The buzz around the sports world is that young Colt McCoy (see how I did that - working in the name of the last guy to play QB at Texas in the same phrase with the current QB - nice huh?) may have just catapolted himself into 1st place in the Heisman race (wow - puns, wordplay, and rhymes - I'm on a roll here). It was a stellar performance for sure. I'm still not convinced that it wasn't A&M's defense that made him look so good, but fair is fair and the Horns' defense made A&M look pretty good too.

Tomorrow is a big day. Rivalry day for Florida and Florida State. Looking forward to 2:30 CST :)

Be good,a nd if you can't, at least be good at it ;)

Happy Thanksgiving To All!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! (to both of you who look at this blog) It crossed my mind that I'm a pretty poor blogger these days. At least, when it comes to blogging about generalities of my life here at loopness. I've been spending so much of my time working on Internet Marketing that my blogging efforts go towards my other thirty plus blogs rather than my first and oldest one. Like usual that is something I hope to change in the near future, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to discipline myself enough to turn that hope into a reality. I intend to try though.

I'm not sure that I have enough time to really bring everyone up to speed on what's been happening in my life these days. I need to get some sleep before I head out to Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws. If I go to sleep right now I might be able to get in a good 4 or 5 hours of rest, but I'm not sure I'll be able to accomplish that either. So much to do in such a limited time frame. I think that we should vote to get more than 24 hours in a day. That might help me fit it all in. Of course, odds are that it probably wouldn't.

I will take a few quick minutes to give you an update on my latest project. It's another website that I'm trying to get up and running. I decided to try my hand at putting together an article directory. Something similar to Infobarrel, HubPages, or really any of the online article directories but not so large initially. It will be a place for folks to submit their content for free, and I have a number of writers that will be doing some guest posting. They are mostly friends and acquaintances from the online world. They are bloggers for the most part. If you would like to check it out you can find it at Info Auger Articles (an auger is like a drill bit - so the idea was a site where you can drill down to bring information up for your use). In teh coming weeks you should see articles in most of the categories which rage from home decor and technology to miscellaneous topics. If you want to be a writer there just visit the Info Auger site and contact me via the Contact page.

It was good talking with you again. I look forward to doing it more in the future. The future has more time available right? LOL I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Be good, and if you can't, at least, be good at it ;)
