Black & White
August 30, 2008
When people ask me if I am an optimist or a pessimist, I tell them quite simply that I am a realist. I dream for the best, but know that the worst might occur. I hate sappy romance movies because they never stay true to life, yet secretly I root for the happy ending. I want the fantasy to be a reality.
When I was younger, my mother would become so upset with me because I always had to have things as black and white–no room for gray. She used to tell me that things are not always black and white and that I had to accept that sometimes there is just gray. I never could. I still cannot. I tell people that in order to get gray, you must mix the black and the white. Sure, it applies to colors, but it can apply to life too. People only accept the gray because they do not want to accept the truth. Read more

Anyone Out There?
August 20, 2008
I write because I love to write. I write because I love to get my voice out. I write because I love to let my thoughts flow like pure word vomit…it helps me figure things out.
From what I can tell, people do visit this site and read what I have to say but have very little to say about it. I would be very interested to find out what your opinions are on a subject. If it gets enough coverage, I’d even be willing to write a follow-up post on it. Many of the topics I have discussed will get touched on over and over again throughout this blog in some manner again, but if you want to know more right away, I’m willing to write on it.
I would also just like to know that there are people out there. Whether they agree with what I am saying or not, it is nice to know that they are actually pondering on what I have said. I just like knowing that people are taking time out of their day to actually think.

I’m Me
August 17, 2008
I’ve always been the inquisitive type to go out and learn new things. I join forums looking for information, social networks looking for peers, and download informative materials on whatever avenue I’m looking in at the time. I’ve come to find out that everyone wants to be the top dog, the attention, or just the rank in their certain niche; they want to be labeled.
My opinions on labels has already been touched on here before, but I began to pay more attention to other people and what they allow themselves or even want to be labeled. I frequent a Black Hat forum where every n00b that joins decides he is a blackhatter. You see it in all their posts ‘we blackhatters’, ‘us blackhatters’, and so forth. I laugh and scoff at them because it’s like they couldn’t do anything black hat if they tried, but they think joining a black hat forum makes them a blackhatter. It’s crazy! Insane! I love it! I mean I really do! These are the same n00bs who are making requests after requests yet not able to fulfill any [including their own]. I’m amazed sometimes at how easily accessible the product/ebook is they are looking for yet they call themselves a blackhatter…they want so much to be ‘in’ the black hat community that they label themselves accordingly…yet they do not know a single black hat technique more than what is posted within the forums.
