The Sweet Up and Down

I've decided to stop posting in my LiveJournal because there's really not much for me to talk about anymore. I used LJ to rant and complain about life but my life is actually pretty good right now so I feel the need to get things off my chest is over. At least for right now.

New stuff before ending this thing: I got my mom all moved in to her new place. It was a huge pain in the ass because I almost had to do it all by myself. Luckily my aunts helped so we were able to get a lot of stuff and actually clean the old place. Her new place isn't exactly in the best area of Lawrence but it's what she can afford. Meanwhile, me and Audrey are living pretty good together and Cameran seems to be enjoying being cared for by Audrey. Audrey and I have also set a date for the wedding. October 24, 2009 and we plan on having it at the Stony Point Banquet Hall just south of Lawrence in the Vinland Valley.

Crystal had her baby on the 17th. Shawn Allan (or some variation of the spelling). It's good to know she now has her own child to take care of that she can ruin and turn into a miniature version of herself that's no relation to me. Yay!

I'm also really getting into my website, www.tauycreek.com, which I actually post on a regular basis and do my Born Loser and comic strip mocking, some writing, news and anything else I find on the Internet and want to show. For next week, I plan on trying to find a lot of Halloween stuff to post so if you want you can find me over there. No subscription or account necessary.

Until next time, I remain...

I Googled myself this morning. I wanted to see what was the first thing that came up about me. The first thing came up on page ten and was a link to my short stories on AuthSpot which is cool because those are things I could get paid for (which brings me to an advertisement: Read My Stuff). The next thing was my Blogger profile which was on page 15 or so. My name is a lot more common than I originally thought because there are quite a few people with my name out there. Search on MySpace and there are two in Lawrence alone with profiles. I also share a name with a member of Monty Python who passed away in 1997, an author who wrote The Saskiad and I Should Be Extremely Happy In Your Company and a lot of graphic designers and photographers. I only went 39 pages into what ends up being roughly 1,170 but you know as you get further the results just turn into pages that just happen to have my name in them but do not result in anything important.

I noticed the "writer's block" section of the home page asked "Which of your five senses could you live without?" How would you choose which to get rid of. You certainly wouldn't voluntarily give up sight or hearing but touch and taste would be equally tough to give up. Smell would more than likely be my choice mainly because it's one sense that I think I could live without although I would relunctantly give it up. I came to the conclusion that I couldn't live without sight or sound because those are what make the world beautiful. While olfactory senses gives us smells like roses, steaks cooking, gasoline and smoke it also gives us poop, burnt popcorn and burning rubber but it's your choice which sense to give up. I've made my choice and I stand by it.

Also, I ended my comic strip blog for a while as I focus more on writing for both money and for my LiveJournal (I want it to be something more) plus get more involved with packing and moving (which happens September 15th). The blog will be back on September 20th which is also the day we should be completely moved in so I am looking forward to that. I'm hoping to update my LJ more frequently and am considering using it to post drafts of stories I think of but am unable to flesh out until I get my mandatory two a month written. I have a couple doozies I've been itching to write so they may appear here pretty soon.

Until next time, I remain...
