I Fashion Myself A Web Designer

I don't always have the time I'd like to have to dedicate to my craft.  However, this blog is one of my designs, and if you want to see more of my work, you can browse on over to XXCultRadio.  I am the Station Manager for this internet radio station, which is the only radio station anywhere that plays 60 years of Rock-n-Roll.  And when I say anywhere, I mean it.  You won't find a station like this on any am/fm band, any satellite radio station or anywhere else on the internet.  You can go ahead and try, you won't find one.  However, back to the original point of this post.  If you are interested in some cheap but amazing web design for your blog or website, you can email me with the particulars, and I will give you a reasonable set of expectations on how long it will take me, and what the final cost will be.  I'd love to make your website as spectacular as it can be, for a reasonable price.  I believe that website design should be amazing, but shouldn't cost a fortune.  Toodles.

Music Monday

I have been very fortunate in recent times to love and be loved by an amazing man.  How much I've grown and changed under the glow of it.  I often feel so minute in the shadow of it.  This song by Pink really states in a few minutes what I could expound on for hours without ceasing.




Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple. Leave ONLY the actual post link here and grab the code below and place it at your blog entry. You can grab this code at LadyJava's Lounge Please note these links are STRICTLY for Music Monday participants only. All others will be deleted without prejudice.

PS: Because of spamming purposes, the linky will be closed on Thursday of each week at midnight, Malaysian Time. Thank you!

Tah-Dah!

And wouldn't you know it, I got it finished just shortly before I had to go to bed.  I have an early start in the A.M. and it wouldn't do me much good not to get enough sleep.  As it is, I injured myself at work Saturday night.  My left foot slipped on something, pulling my groin muscle, but my momentum landed me squarely on my left hip.  I'm going to have to take it easy for the next few days, and try to get as much rest as possible.  That's all the news I have for now, but I would love some feedback on my blog theme.  Toodles!

Beautiful Changes

So since I designed my own background and header elements for my blog, I decided that I would get a layout that would be easier to tweak to fit these new graphics.  So please bear with me as I get that finished sometime this weekend.  Toodles.

Computer News

So, I was able to get my computer back up and running, but it's going to take me a couple of days to get it all tweaked back to where I had it.  But after that, there's just no stopping me.  I feel like I've been without a good friend for a long time, and I'm so glad to have it back.  Toodles.

Breaking News

So, I may have found a way to get my main computer working again, so that I don't have to keep using the hunk of junk I'm on now.  It's going to involve a bit of surgery, so keep your fingers crossed.  I'll give you any updates when I have time.  That is all for now, but suffice it to say, that if I'm successful, this blog will have a whole new look.  Toodles.

Pull Up A Chair

I decided to start a blog.  It's not my first time blogging, but given that I've started a whole new chapter of my adventure, I thought I'd start a bit from scratch.  As things progress, you'll learn a bit more about my past, and the unique events that have created the unique person I am today.  I'm not sure how often I will post, but I will try to keep things around here as upbeat as I can.  I have a separate blog where I splatter, but you won't find any links to that blog on this one.  The reason being, that it gives me the chance to simply say what I feel, without having to worry about who I might be offending.  I find it's always easier to vent when you're granted a great deal of anonymity.  It's not as though anyone here will know who I am in real life, except those of my friends who already know me that might wander over here.  The name of my blog means that I'm probably going to get some of the folks here who know me from a different communication medium who love to judge me.  However, I know how to keep those ugly toads from having their way in my comments.  So, again, welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere.  I hope you'll stop by often.
