A New Project!
Aug 29th
So it’s a Friday night (or rather, it WAS), with nothing to do. Chilling at the house with my roommate, because we both have off work on Friday. We decided it was time to start a project and try to earn some money on the side. We came up with a plan, and made our first investment into the idea, by purchasing 21 domain names in total. We both spent probably around 20 hours over 2 days working on the project and have gotten very far on it. We hope to see a nice return in the long run and are going to work hard until we see it. Wish us luck everyone!
On a more personal note, my roommate is a boss on the grill, and made some pretty bad ass ribs and corn on the cob. We also had macaroni and potatoe salad, as well as french fries in the deep fryer. It was an awesome lunch, definitely worth it. Thanks go out to the cook!
Hope you all had a great weekend, tell me about it if you get the time in the comments below!
Work, Money, and Paid Time Off
Aug 25th
So my year evaluation came up this week on the 24th, it went pretty well. I got a raise, and a promotion. I also got my paid time off raise, and recharged, so I will be starting to plan a trip back home to visit family and everything since I have not seen them in over a year now. I miss them a lot so can’t wait to schedule this trip and go see them. I’m hoping for maybe sometime in October or November, maybe for Thanksgiving or something I’ll go up there. Anyways, time to go to bed, just figured I’m make a post to update everyone!
P.S. I’ll also be updating some portfolio stuff soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Gaming, Gaming, and More Gaming…
Aug 16th
Gaming, is one of the things I’ve been doing quite a bit lately. As many people know Starcraft 2 recently came out. I’ve been doing a lot of that lately. As well as developing a website for a clan I will be starting when the new clan system comes out! If anyone wants to play some SC2, hit me up on battle.net, here’s my profile!

Hope everything had a good weekend, back to work!
When Soldiers Come Home…
Aug 15th
Quite a few families are affected by their loved ones leaving on tours of duty. It’s always sad to see them go, but it’s even more exciting and emotional to see them come home. I ran across these videos that contain a compilation of clips of soldiers surprising their loved ones coming home on leave. Warning, it’s emotional! All of the clips in these videos were taken from a website called Welcome Home Blog.

One more new site, just for the hell of it!
Aug 15th
Yes, it’s me again everyone, Michael, back with yet another new site! I really have little time on my hands now a days, and got really sick of looking at that same old, bland, and never updated website. I figured I would try and do at least something even somewhat decent to keep the people entertained. I am getting quite a few hits on this website, despite me not really advertising it. At least now you get entertained, am I right!?
I’m still working at HostGator, as most of you know, moving on up! As far as web development, I haven’t gotten much done lately, haven’t had time to. Although I have been playing quite a bit of Starcraft 2 lately as that just recently came out. Extremely addictive game, if I do say so myself. It’s about 6am now, so I am going to head off to bed, however I just figured I would keep you guys updated on everything that’s going on. I’ll try to keep this blog at least somewhat updated.
