Shyzer.com

And just like that, I forget how to post on here again

I’ve always believed that you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you, so it’s probably not in my best interest to make fun of a site that links to HIF.

But….wow. That was a painful experience and I hope that all of you click the link and suffer along with me.

This is a bit of a filler post, I understand that. I’ve once again stretched myself too thin, starting way too many projects that I’ll never finish. Hurray for good intentions and trying to help other people though! I actually sold off two of my old websites that I never really talked about. Facebook Talk might soon follow, as the Facebook-fan site market is exploding and I have absolutely zero interest in continuing it.

The video below might be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while.

Oh, and the Mariners still suck. Good times.

My first filler post in a week…not too shabby for me at all. This post will be removed tomorrow though and two posts will take it’s place. Until then!

Starting today, I’m going to post at least once a day here on Shyzer for a month.

Why? Uh-uh. Just feel like it. I’ve never made 30 straight posts and I want to see if I can do it. That’s about it.

Luckily for me, this counts as 1. Phew, that was pretty easy.

What’s my favorite part about the new year, you ask? The parties? The resolutions? The college bowl games? Not even close.

It’s the fact that I now get to the edit the copyright year at the bottom of all my websites. For some reason, it’s so fulfilling yet pointless at the same time and I love it.

I’m not quite sure I’ve gone over month without posting (unless I took a scheduled and announced break), so damn if I’ll let that happen now. I’m back in the states now, not very happy about it, and I’ll just leave it at that for now. No reason to stir any hornets nests until I have to

I spend most of my on-line time now fiddling with Hey, It’s Free since I’ve gotten some very receptive reviews/links/plugs lately. In fact, I always thought the weird and stupid stuff I did on-line (making a random song or story or video, etc) would always occur here on Shyzer. But that’s not the case, as I’ve found recently. It’s kinda nice. I’ve also been teaching myself some advance PHP recently, in an attempt to learn how to do something really cool that I really want to do here on Shyzer. But this shiznit is hard. Rewarding, but a pain in the ass nonetheless.

We’re doing a Christmas card exchange on the HIF as well. Anybody here wanna get in on the action? I’ve never actually sent out cards like this before, but we all enjoy getting some mail-love every now and then. If you’re game, leave a message in the comments and I’ll contact you.

I applied for a job in Iraq recently. Haha, no, I didn’t join the military. But I got wind of an opportunity to something that I’ve always wanted to do and it just happened to be located in Iraq and the pay was off the charts. That’s kind of to be expected though, no? Don’t worry Mom and Dad, there’s no way in hell I get it, but it’s still funny to think that sometime soon I could be asking my boss if I could trade the corner office with a view for a cubicle since I’m scared of mortar attacks.

I took a test for the first time since God knows when. It was long and hard. It was also fun. I’ve always been a nerd like that.

Maybe I’ll get another post up here on Shyzer later this week. Wordpress is actually pretty good at reminding you of all the unfinished business you have. At the top of every post I write, there is a list titled “Your Drafts” with links to all the crap I started writing and then quit. It’s always a little disheartening to see that damn thing. Just glancing at it, I see posts about zombies, Turkey (the country, not the deliciousness), stealing, the state of novels and reading in America, regrets, President Bush, and the Mariners. Maybe I’ll get around to finishing one of those sometime soon.

Probably not though. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to go work on the goofy Christmas carol I’m writing for HIF. And then I need to film it. Take care, y’all.

I’m heading with my mom to “work” today since United just picked up a new route into Europe from D.C. I’ll be back Wednesday with photos and hopefully a few good stories. Ciao!

April 1st. Opening Day.

What more needs be said? Baseball is back and suddenly the world is right again. Sometimes I amaze even myself by thinking about how I survive such a cold and barren winter every year.

One thing that has never ceased to amaze me is how websites can simply break even when you haven’t touched them at all. You’ll just be surfing along and headed towards one of your favorite sites, like Shyzer.com, and instead of receiving your semi-daily pointless banter from me, you get some garbled up error message.

Isn’t technology grand?

One thing I love about teaching kids is talking about them to other teachers. Preferably when they’re not around.

It’s almost a guilty pleasure that feels so wrong, it starts to feel right.
