Bummer Summer

My internet marketing and sales took off for the first time, in it's existence this past fall and peaked just after the first of the year. The bummer is that since it turned hot, my traffic has decided to take nose dive into a cool swimming pool. What's the answer?

I've learned that a diverse portfolio does no good, unless you plan for the dog days. Knowing trends is beneficial in keeping a steady income, instead of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best each month. This uneasy income flow has caused me to create a few goals for myself.

1.) Don't play so much during the summer time, I still have to work, no matter how nice outside it gets.

2.) I know kids are outside playing, because it is nice, so my MySpace targeted sites are gonna drop. Likewise for my gaming blogs, I'll need to add MORE content to keep their attention and gear content towards a summer time theme.

3.) Plan accordingly, I should have a summer time themed website and/or network of sites. Who cares how full my plate is, I want consistency dagnabbit(1 word or 2?).

4.) Buy new window blinds.

5.) Sell any one of my sites to Google and retire at the ripe old age of 25.

My Wii
I finally received my Wii, almost 3 months after launch. The next-gen console from Nintendo was obviously going to be a success, but I didn't think so much in my area of the country. The stores around here would get them 50-60 at a time and they would be gone
Ozzfest is FREE
Finally, someone gets it, rather someone is doing something about it. I give Sharon Osbourne a heart felt 'Thank You'. This may be the first year I make it to Ozzfest. :) "We're reaching the same point we did years ago when kids no longer wanted to pay for overpriced CDs,"
When Did December Get Here?
Oh Christ, where have I been? It seems like just yesterday I was sweating outside, forcing myself to finish mowing my yard, weed eating, building flower beds, and other general outdoorsy fun summer stuff. Damn't!!!111 Now I have to go Christmas shopping! It's been a long couple of weeks, but the
