Surfing the net really irritates me because I am still getting those "made for Agloco" websites that do not do anything but promote sign ups. What a total waste of revenue space.

At least, I have to be thankful that they hype has slowed down and you don't have people pushing it down my throat.

Here's a much needed lesson on Marketing 101. Never promote a product that doesn't have existing shelf life or is currently not "available" in the market. There are so many variables that can make this a very bad investment of time. Amongst the factors you need to consider is - will you get paid on time, does their enrollment tracking work 100%, will this be a waste of your time?

This is why you need to work with a company that has a proven track record, and if the past history of Agloco is to be taken into consideration, they stiffed a lot of people on commissions before they closed up shop. You need to realize that your time equals $$ in the bank. Most affiliate companies do not survive the test of time because they weren't equipped to handle the demands such as getting paid on time.

Look for services that could provide you with a better return based on what you can do today. There are awesome affiliate advertising and datafeed marketing you can make some serious cash on. And I don't mean Google or Amazon either....

The few weeks Agloco said (In December) that they will have the toolbar available to the masses has now been pushed out to March. So this comes down to the concept of which came first. The chicken or the egg. Agloco is busy hussling for business from advertisers based on the amount of publishers that have signed up.

But the code will work on Blogger (as long a it's not on a post), and will autostart at load. If you do not want it to autostart, you can chose "false" instead of "true" on the autoplay attribute.

Blogger Beta has got to go. Functionality sucks. What were they thinking when they were working on the revisions??

Annoyed yet that the streaming video just went on without pressing play? Go ahead. Just hit stop on the Media Player......





I have spent the whole afternoon fooling around with embedded video codes and I didn't get anything else done. Why? Don't ask me. I just got it into my head that I really don't like copying YouTube videos into my commercial websites because they really make it look cheap. Besides, some of the videos that I like are not on YouTube.

I finally decided to hack the hacks that I found on the web because they just don't look nice enough to go on my websites. I am so picky about design and the overall look it adds. I do believe that if they are not perfect, they are not good enough.

First I decided to embed a promotional video file from Windstar Cruises http://windstarcruises.com/images/videos/SiB_high.wmv

I thought I could just get away with using an iframe code to embed it on my blog, but the bloody thing just kept on popping out instead of getting imbedded. So I decided to write this code instead:

<br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://windstarcruises.com/images/videos/SiB_high.wmv" autoplay="true" cache="true" loop="false" href="http://windstarcruises.com/images/videos/SiB_high.wmv"></embed><br /><br /><br /><br />

I know I should really be using the object code instead of an embed code. But, oh well, I pride myself on workable shortcuts without having to mess with parameter attributes.

As this is being used on a commercial blog, I have programmed the media player to play once (Loop) on at pageload (Autoplay) using cached file if this is not their first visit (Cache) and a pop up window of the video if clicked on (Href).

It does look better than Google or YouTube and I am very happy with the result.

Saturday night Lem and I went to the movies instead of shaking our boodies doing salsa. I still feel a little bit winded and don't think I can go through a whole night of dancing without being cranky.

And when I am cranky, Lem tells me that I go out of my way to make his night miserable also. It's like an out-of-body experience, because, really, I don't do it in purpose....

Anyway, we watched Ghost Rider and I thought it was a terrific movie. It is based on a Marvel comic so be prepared for the over-the-top scenes and lots of cleavage shots from actress and supermodel Eva Mendes.

We had a couple sitting behind us that I think were on the date, and she kept on saying "It's so cheesy" all throughout the movie. I think she just couldn't get over her date gawking over Eva's blatantly displayed assets.

Even my fiance, the first thing he said when we walked out of the movie theatre was "Eva is hot". Of course, silly woman I am, had to ask if he thought I was hot as her..... :)

Sooner or later, all the great hollywood legends like Nicolas Cage realize that they need to grab on the sequel gravy train. I am surprised it just took him this long to get there. The way the Ghost Rider ended, you just know, Part 2 is just sitting around the corner in pre-production.

Me love Nicolas Cage. Me go see Ghost Rider Part 2 on opening weekend.

With all the products available in the market today, how do you pick what is the best hair removal system for you? The supermarket has got shelves and shelves of products that just leaves you stumped on what to buy. They all claim that it will leave you feeling smooth and hairless.

How do you decide?

The NaturalWellbeing.com - Online Hair Removal Store has the 411 on everything related to body hair removal:

Electrolysis
Epilators
Hair Growth Inhibitors
Hair Removal Creams / Depilatories
Ingrown Hair Treatments
Sugaring
Waxing

Personally, I am not the waxing kind of gal. I am a big believer that beauty and perfection can be achieved without pain and suffering. If you check out my bathroom closet you will find several brands hair removal creams, sugaring products and hair growth inhibitors. They definitely work better than taking Lem's shaver:) Nicks and cuts aren't my kind of thing either.

I do, however, want to check out the New Vector Electrolysis System. I have been eyeing the one over at NaturalWellbeing.com because it is on sale - it is $50 off and Naturalwellbeing.com will ship it for free to my home. I really would love to get my hands on one of those.

I just love going to the salon and having electrolysis done, but really, who can afford to get it done all the time? With the New Vector Electrolysis system, who needs the salon? I can use it in the comfort of my home and anytime I want. I will never have to wax or shave again because it will give the same results as going to the salon. And, it uses tweezers instead of needles (ouch) to make hair removal safer and less painful.

See, someone out there was listening to me. No pain, and a lot to gain.

Last night, I started playing around with my FeedBurner feed for The Bikini Body Diet, and of course, right when I was about to turn off my computer at 2AM, I discovered I screwed it all up! My feed disappeared. I must have hit a wrong button somewhere because the feed was not updating.

And when you are tired, everything just take twice as difficult to retrack your steps to figure out where, oh where, did I go wrong..... You know what I mean? I just kept on skipping right through the solution. Nothing is quite so obvious when my mind decides to shut down.

Finally, I got it working. I should have just quit while I was ahead, because I got started on widgets. For my blogs. All of them. Next thing you know it 7AM and I was just too wired up to sleep right away.

I was up by 10:30 because Lem is never quiet when he works on his computer. I managed to get a couple of decent articles out today, but there still is so much to do. Now that I have all these breaking news to report, I still can't establish a pattern of reporting on a timely basis.

And did you know, if the world's economy shut down for a day, and there is no more talk about elections or terrorists, celebrity gossip will still keep you buzzing from sun up to sun down? I still have the celebrity news and pictures for today to post on The Designer Diva. If I don't get to post them today, by tomorrow, they are going to be old news. I can't believe people seriously make a living as paparazzis. How do they do it??

To complicate things, Blogger decides that this is the day I will not be able to log in to Old Blogger without moving to Blogger Beta. After finally making the decision to move the blogs over to Wordpress, I was faced with the decision to go Blogger Beta instead. Of course, there's nothing spectacular about it. It just made me pissed.

How can you say no in making really easy money?

I am glad that some of my blog visitors have decided to take the PayPerPost challenge and make some money. I can see your name on my referral list and when you will start to get paid!

*doing the happy dance *

I am right there with you counting the days til payday because when you get paid, I get my referral cash too!

Thank you! Danke! Muchas Gracias!

You know, I am saving it all for the shoes I want from the 2007 Louis Vuitton Summer Collection. I am giving myself the much needed designer pampering and because of the affiliate program, I am able to afford to get two pairs!

Yeah, baby. This has got to be the easiest referral program on the entire world wide web.

PayPerPost wants you to build blog traffic to your site and they want to pay you to do it. If you are not interested in taking paid postings on your site, then consider promoting the Review Me Program or the Affiliate Program. All it requires is a couple of badges similar to this ~



And when your visitors open their account and start blogging, that is money in your pocket.

Really, saying no to this opportunity just does not make any sense.

Valentines was short and quick for me. Lem wanted to book a nice restaurant, but he knows me so well. I would rather go to a good restaurant that I enjoy rather than going to The Boathouse. I've cancelled our Valentines restaurant reservations at least twice in the last 3 years and this year he knew better :)

He asked me where I wanted to go instead of surprising me. I've always wanted to try out Pepitas in Langley, and every single time we pass by there after working out we always say we are going to have dinner there someday. So, this time I made the reservation.

They had a mexican folk singer singing old time favourites on his guitar like "La Bamba" and "Besame Mucho". The food was okay and nothing to brag about. After all, this is Langley and the food and service pales in comparison to their downtown Vancouver location. But the best thing was that they had Margaritas for $2.99. I got myself loaded up on Mango Margaritas and happy as a clam all night.

I also cancelled the movie afterwards (I know, I'm such a spoil sport) because I'm still not have fully recovered from the last flu attack. So, he owes me a movie, and hopefully when that new Nicholas Cage superhero flick comes out, he'll take me to see it.

I started using Newsvine as a Bookmarking site for my articles.

Then one day, "someone" posted a reply on a Newsvine post. Something about chocolate and sex. The response was in the general area of chocolate, sex.... and restaurant public displays. So, you figured it was probably a two liner comment. No, this was I would say at least 600 words long. Graphic. Intense. Can't say it word for word on this genearal audience blog.

I thought it was the funniest thing I have ever read, until of course, everybody else who was watching out for all of "someone"s posts starting commenting on it. It was just a crazy zoo with one lady commenting that she was "allergic to sex and it's a good thing she was also allergic to chocolates".

What a big zoo.

So now, on a daily basis, I watch about 10 House Guests and they are quite busy giving their intellectual two cents in.

Here are just some of the 180 articles just waiting for me to comment on that you probably will just say "Are They For Real"?

Have astronauts ever had sex in space?
Foreskin Face Cream and Other Beauty Products of the Future
Heidi Klum Is Not Grabbing My Butt This Valentine's Day

Now, you know what I mean? I can't believe Newsvine is having a Beer Drinking Party online via video feeds ... ??

We have all been there before. That big cloud of pending doom hanging over our heads because of bad credit.

It is very hard to get ahead in life if you do not work on fixing your credit problems today. Don't you want to prepare for your future? Whether you are single or have a family, there are so many things to consider such as retirement plans, children education or just plain saving for a rainy day.

But you can't do that unless you take the step to tackle your creidt problems.

You can get started by visiting the Bad Credit Repair Informaton at CreditLoan.com. They can offer you sound advise and first hand knowledge to get yourself out of the slump.

I found these articles particularly helpful:

Bad Credit Mortgage Loans
What A Crash: Recover From Problems With Credit
Warning Signs of a Bad Credit Repair Company
Struggling to Make the Bad Credit Good

Hopefully, you will decide that today is the day to get your life financially on track.

I looked at my "topics to post" for The Designer Diva, and yeah, the most dreaded "blog about an amazon product" is next in line.

Should I? Should I not? Is it worth my time? I never really made decent amount of money promoting Amazon.... I don't know.

Maybe I'll give it another heave-ho and see where the dust settles.

So, off I go to Amazon.com to check if there is anything blog worthy for my just-for-women readers. And of course, I managed to dig up some really good stuff. All I had to do was log in to my Amazon Associate account to get the proper links.

I just couldn't believe the gazoodles of money I have sitting in my account. Wow, where did all these purchases come from? January and February were such hot, hot months! I tried racking my brain to see where these buyers could possibly come from since they were buying stuff that I don't even promote. Then I figured, they all have to be coming from my supplement links at The Bikini Body Diet. They are really the only ones I have left that promote Amazon.

I know this is a big change of heart at my end since I am not a big fan of Amazon. Checking my account today, made me such a believer in me that not only did I do the post for The Designer Diva (Helping You Keep Your Clothes On), I integrated Omakase Links back into The Discount Diva and ID Cheaters. Amazon has done a great job in adding more functionality to their Omakase Links and making them look nicer.

Still, Amazon has a long way to go to compete with other affiliate companies when it comes to flexibility of banner advertisements and data feeds. Eventhough, they have managed to make their associates control panel a little bit more publisher friendly, there are still some sections that need a lot of work like the aStore. Amazon's competitors have better storefronts that can be integrated without a lot of programming know-how.

The moral of this story is: Making money with affiliate advertising (like Amazon) is a matter of a waiting game. Potential buyers who click on your link to Amazon might not buy something right that minute, but they might come back and buy something else in the next 90 - 120 days, or whenever Amazon's cookie expires. When a purchase is made, it is still your commission.

The secret in making money from affiliate advertising is not to post just the banners or the text links they offer. You have to take a much more direct approach and actually write about a product from the affiliate that specifically matches your blog's overall theme. This will be more effective in turning your visitors into clickers.

I just love Florida. It is one of my favourite vacation spots. Probably because the weather is always hot and there are so many places to go and people to see when you are there.

Or maybe because Walt Disney World is there. There is always that kid inside of me that will never outgrow that place. So, I have decided that if I were to go anywhere this year, it will be to Central Florida. I am just getting excited just thinking about it. I have so many fond memories of that magical kingdom.

So, if you are planning a holiday with friends or family and heading over there just like I am, visit DWTickets.com and pick up for your Disney tickets before you go. You will always find a better price for theme park tickets through them and you can budget your spending before you even start your holiday.

You can also purchase Park Hopper Tickets, Water Park Tickets, Universal Orlando Tickets, Sea World Tickets and other must-see places in Central Florida. Next time I visit Florida, I will make sure to pick up tickets through them for my favourite show - Arabian Nights. Have you been? If you haven't, it is such a terrific show!

King Negrito does seem to get around - everywhere in the world from Paris to Dubai, and now the world wide web. Guess what I found crawling through video sites?

King Negrito has got his own travel video (well, in french, translated to English)!

My answer would be NO.

If you still have Old Blogger, and considering on moving to Blogger Beta, I really would not recommend it. Blogger Beta still has a long way to go when it comes to providing its Bloggers all the cool functionality that you see with Word Press and TypePad.

Instead, consider moving your blog to WordPress. You'll get a lot more functionality and some cool hacks that you'll never be able to get with Blogger Beta. Visit their website and you will be able to get step by step direction on how to move your Old Blogger. It is quite simple, quick and will benefit you more. Here are just some hacks that you can get over there: effective spam blockers, flexibility in category and tag controls, nice comment widgets, rate this article, a gazillion of templates to chose from and more.

The reason why I am telling you this now before you move to Blogger Beta, is because once you have moved to Blogger Beta, it is very difficult to move to WordPress. Unless you have a little bit of programming background, you'll find it a challenge. And really, what does Blogger Beta offer you? They are so behind when it comes to Blogging technology. Who-pi-do you get Categories and Tags. These have been offered for a long time through WordPress.

I always try never to miss an episode of All My Children. Because when I do, it is just to hard to keep track of what is happening. Especially with the Satin Slayer on the loose.... Who will he go after next?

So now, not only do I try not to miss an episode, I head right over to Soaps.com afterwards to check out their All My Children Daily updates to see what other viewers think about the current episode.

And maybe have a peek at some future episode spoilers...... I know, I know. I really shouldn't. I promise not to blog about it. I am one of those people that just has to know what is going to happen two episodes down the road. I also like knowing that there is that little rainbow in the horizon amidst all the controversy.

And hey, really, I do hope Babe's death is all a set up, to catch the Satin Slayer....

Getting sick and tired of all that junk and phishing emails? Me too. By the end of each day I get at least a hundred of them. Everything from sex aids to Paypal acount problems. If I could just make them all go away, my Outlook Box would be a better place. No matter how many times you junk the sender, they still find a way to reach you.

I am waiting though to get one of those famous bogus clairvoyant mailings that the folks in the UK seem to be getting a lot of. I feel so left out, all I get is emails from psychic Jenna wanting to tell me my future for a small fee.

Apparently, The Government News Network is warning consumers not to fall for this doom and thunder messages predicting that something bad will happen if the recipient does not send them money. I just can see that - "Send me $100.00 in cash or I will cut off a chicken's head and send a voodoo curse on you" or even "Send me $100.00 and I will release all the bad aura around you."

I might be very superstitious, but even I wouldn't fall for it. No matter how personalized they make the email, and make me feel that I've been chosen amongst a million people!

So, here's the top list of what not to fall for according to The Office of Fair Trading (OFT):

Last Saturday was Lem's cousin's birthday and we had to go to a dinner at that new yuppy restaurant Joey's on Broadway. You know what that means, got to dig through my clothes and look for something suitable to wear. It's a great excuse to get all dressed up and do that makeup and the hair.

Except, that the hair was just not cooperating. It's been six months since I got the last haircut and I didn't want to trek to downtown Vancouver just to see my absolutely fabulous (and did I say Gorgeous) Ted, the hair guru. Besides, an appointment with him could cost me some pretty penny even if he does such a great job....

Anyway, so last Saturday, Lem drove me to Surrey Place Center to get a haircut and the only place that was open was a Barbershop. So I stood outside for a moment saying "should I or should I not". I've had my share of horror haircuts and I don't think I want another one of those. Left with no choice, I went in and found a new hairstylist!

It was such a great deal! This vietnamese lady cut my hair for $19.00 and straightened it for $20.00. I gave her a $10.00 tip because, if you've ever seen my thick hair, you would know it's such a big feat to be able to make it go straight. And it's been such a long time since I've seen it straight..... Ted would have cost me at last $100.00!

I am making an appointment to permanently straighten my hair with the same hairdresser. I can't wait....

I went to visit my mom on Monday, and my sister Rosie was looking at me kind of strangely. This is the firt time ever, that she has longer hair that I do! I had it all cut off just a little bit below my shoulder blades. And her hair is all the way to her butt. She thought I had gone off the deep end..... She's so lucky, she's picked my mom's genes and she has bone straight asian hair, and poor me, picked up dad's ultra curly hawaiian hair. Well, won't be for long. I'm getting my hair straightened!!!!!

I am such a big fan of PayPerPost!

Ever since I joined with them as a blogger with their company, I have made $272.00! And all for spending just about 15 minutes of my time on each post! This sure beats any part time job out there and I can do it from my own home!

So big spender that I am, saving it all to buy shoes!

Some people spend their hard earned money on vacations, a new car, or even designer bags. Me, I chose to spend mine on beautiful and expensive shoes. And if you have seen the new Louis Vuitton Summer 2007 Collection, then you know that all of the money I have made and expect to make before May is going to go to this special fund. When I do buy the pair I want, I will make sure to share a picture with everyone!

If I keep this up, I just know, there is another pair of shoes from the Winter Collection just beyond the horizon!

Did you know that PayPerPost is always accepting blogs and bloggers? Why not make some extra cash and then decide where all that free money is going to be spent on. It is very easy to get started. Just click on this link, review this post and make some money!

Lately I have been getting quite a bit of spam coming through my site. And I really have no tolerance for these imbeciles who can not find any other way to promote their websites. Apparently, they have never heard of the concept of negative marketing - Not all buzz are good buzz, and it can hurt you.

I have a feeling that it is the same person who keeps on dropping these lines, and I'm glad that he/she feels that my website is worthy of that much attention. I have lots of patience.

You drop a spam, I delete your comment. You can keep on dropping them, and I'll just keep on deleting them. Sooner or later, you will give up and there will never be a trace left on my blog.

And guess what, I've got some goodies waiting for you:

I will flag and report your website to Blogger if you have one. Better stay anonymous and don't let me find you.

If you have a website that permits comments, I will go to Lem's favourite adult website and copy/paste on your blog the most objectionable stuff that I can get my hands on.

And I will write a very, very bad review of your site in every single place that I can find.

Just keep on coming back, I am looking for a fight.

Making money just does not get easier than this! You can make money when you Review My Post! I am not kidding you!

How can this be possible? Well, the wonderful folks over at PayperPost just announced their new Review My Post Program. It makes you some extra cash (don't we just love that) and build traffic to your website (for free!).

What will they think of next? It is so nice to know that they always have our best interest at heart.

So, this is how it works..... Click on this badge and sign up for PayPerPost.

Go Ahead, Get started and Review My Post!

With the exception of ID Cheaters, I consider Cruise Headlines the baby of all my websites. Cruise Headlines is about getting the 411 on cruise travel and of course, I hope it provides the best deals on everything related to cruising.

I started this website sometime around October and today it hits #101 post!!!! Yeah baby.....

This was a real pain to put together in the beginning because I had decided to manually make the little snippets of each post that shows up under categories. I can honestly say that it was worth all the trouble. After 4 months of working on it, Google has decided to give it a Page Rank of 4.

Very cool Google and much luv.

Cruise Headlines was developed using Blogger and basic html (yes, believe it or not). It is monetized by Google Adsense, Affiliate Advertising, and Live Feeds from Ebay and Cruise Direct. Quite a winning combination when it comes to revenue.

Now that it's found its niche from the big oblivion, I am going to make another website. I was going to wait until I am up and running on Joomla (which I am partially), but that's for another big, big project that I hope will make me more moola. So, I think I'll just make another simple website. Anyone wants to contribute an idea?

I have been using the same doll avatar for the last six months on my forum profiles and I think it is time for a change. I want something different - maybe funky, sexy, with lots of pastel colors and tons of big attitude ....

So I went over to The Doll Palace to check out their new avators and Dress Up Games. Wow, do they ever have such a wide selection of dolls to chose from. There are Princess Dolls, Angel Dolls, New EMO Dolls, Shuni Dolls and more! You can mix and match outfits, change accessories and background just to give it your own personalized touch. The hardest part is trying to decide which doll to chose!

I have always loved playing dress up with dolls ever since I was a little kid. And The Doll Palace just takes me to fashion heaven. It is just so hard to decide which one I like most - the celebrity dolls, the diva dolls or the greek goddess dolls. I want them all. Maybe I will make a couple different ones so that I can change my avatar whenever I want. Yes, this selection process could definitely take all day.

You can also head over there and make your own animated avatar for free.

Maybe because I am getting over a cold, but nothing short of a couple of million bucks will get me all disrobed in my bikini icefishing with these ladies. They even drilled holes, baited hooks and tried their luck at White Bear Lake as a part of a stunt to prove how durable their bikinis are.

Just looking at them is creating an urge to go back under the covers, hibernate and wait for winter to go back where it came from.

I am so glad I feel much better now. I don't feel as much that my head is somewhere in Cloud 9 taking another medicated trip. I still get tired more often than usual, but at least, I can get some work done without the urge of wanting to sleep every half an hour or so.

I woke up late today because Lem and I decided to catch up on all the Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis episodes that we missed.

And we missed quite a bit.

Stargate Atlantis has a new nemesis - Michael (the former wraith) and his minion of predator-cross-alien monsters. That particular episode was kind of surprising, really, because it was filmed with quite a dark undertone, unlike the usual light scenes.

Lem is now downloading all the missed Battlestar Galactica episodes and we're probably going to go through them in the next couple of days. Lem was telling me that Starbuck might be killed off this season.....

SkinAct has got you covered on everything that makes you, well, beautiful.

They carry popular skin care brands such as SkinCeuticals, Guinot, Eminence Organic Skin Care, and MD Formulations at such great prices.

Whether you are trying to just establish a good skin care routine, or trying to get rid of those annoying blemished, SkinAct has a beauty solution for you. You would be glad that you checked them out.

Looking at my workspace desk and realizing how much drugs I have been taking in the last month and a half blows my mind away.

There's Nyquil, Dayquil, Tylenol Flu Day / Night, Neocitran, Vicks Vapour Rub, Tylenol Cold...... No wonder I woke up in the middle of the night one time thinking how come I never noticed before that I had little doggies printed on my floral blanket. Another night I decided they were dragons and not little doggies.

I just hope that is the extent of the brain cells that have been zapped into oblivion by these wonderful drugs that are supposed to make it better. And I do feel better... Really.... (fingers crossed behind my back) because I just can not afford to be sick. It's no fun ride really. Headaches, backaches, stuffy nose, uncontrollable coughing.

It's not a pretty sight. I feel like I have this glowing aura of germs around me and I feel cruddy everywhere.

At least today I feel like I can eat. I am craving to eat. I'll go make breakfast now.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. And if you still have not found that special someone to share the day with, check out the new Millionaire Dating site that people have been talking about - Date A Millionaire!

This dating site is all about single millionaire's looking to connect looking for someone like you.

It is free to join and you can get your profile up within minutes for other single members to view. You can also instantly search through photos and profiles of men and women in your area. If you like what you see, send them a message or a flirt.

Who knows? You might meet that special someone sooner than you think.

My pseudo-journalistic gamble is starting to pay off.

For the last two months I have guest blogged, and written press releases (too many to count) pro bono for my clients. This week I finally got my approval invite to join "the big cahuna" of breaking news syndication (includes Reuters and Associated Press) after three weeks of review. This is to add to my collection of growing list of content copy providers.

Even with me being sick again (this time it's the flu) did not damper the need to jump up and down the neighborhood street.

Did you know that there is a handful of press releases and breaking news that happen every minute of every day? It's not even "what shall I blog about now". It's more like "where do I start". I just can't begin to comprehend. I will need to clone myself twenty times over - 5 to handle beauty / fashion articles, 5 to handle health articles, and 10 to dish out celebrity dirt. Oh, and maybe 5 extra ones for the "just in case" scenario.

It's such a great feeling to be able to write about breaking news and not just a news opinion or other category. Especially when my piece comes out before the 6 0'clock news.

Sometimes I do feel that I'm giving my personal blog the short end of the stick. But after pushing out 10 - 15 content and advertiser articles in a day, I'm all pooped to talk about anything else. And God Help Us All if I even remember to spell check....
