It has been quite a while since I've posted on this old thing. These days I'm working on a startup, doing marketing consulting, and enjoying living in Boston. I still have big dreams, and the one that's closest to being realized is doing some serious travel.I can't promise I'll update this again any time soon, but who knows?

What is something you are optimistic about?I'm optimistic about this summer. I now have my laptop, which means I'll be able to utilize my time a lot more effectively. I have a great summer job ready, working as assistant to the director of the GPS drama day camp. The job is in Chattanooga, so I'll be in a cool town for most of the summer. My birthday will pass while I'm still in Chattanooga, so

Google's new e-mail service, Gmail, is still in the beta testing phase and not yet available to the public. Internet saavy users are quickly deciding that Gmail will be the next big thing, the result being a scramble to get the username they most want for themselves, or to sell to someone else.Currently there are three types of Gmail accounts according to public knowledge:Tier I - Accounts owned

Blogger has an announcement that it will be down today for a few hours while it adds new features and switches to a new look. I'm hoping that they'll give users the option of purchasing paid accounts again. I'd probably end up buying one for a few months depending on how much they cost. A few of the other features I'd like to see Blogger include are:-Comments-Built-in RSS Feeds as well as

I'm optimistic about life in general whenever I'm in a bad situation because I know it will improve. At this point in my life, in almost any given situation I only have to keep moving forward and my life in general will improve. Specific situations or relationships might not, but so long as I keep moving forward I will have more positive experiences.This doesn't stop me from being upset or

I think this really depends on just how meddlesome the person is. If it's someone who's just trying to annoy you, the best thing to do really is just to ignore them. If it's someone who's out to destroy your friendships and ruin your reputation, the way to handle it is by undermining their credibility. No one's going to listen to a person if they're revealed to be a spiteful person just out to

An evening spent doing schoolwork, or watching TV. Anything without computers, coffee, books, or friends. An afternoon spent at home doing chores while everyone else is on vacation. One of those days where everyone else is busy and there's nothing to do at home. Pretty much every evening I'm on vacation with family.Random comment: Am I the only one who thinks Jay Leno isn't funny?

Besides sexual or physical abuse, I think the worst thing a parent can do is be controlling. It always drives the child away and makes for a rocky relationship. It makes the kid's life hell for years, and it makes the parent's life hell when the kid is old enough to cause trouble. And because a parent can't really control their child in the first place, short of being so insane as to physically

One that respects your privacy, calls before they come over, will take care of your cats for you if you'll be gone for a while. Someone who cuts their grass at the same length yours is cut so neither yard looks better mowed than the other. One that takes pride in the condition of their home, yard, and neighborhood.

What is something you do well?I think I'm a good listener. I've had lots of different life experiences, and I can empathize with what people are feeling most of the time. I care about my friends, and because I'm not much of a talker myself, I have no problems letting other people dominate the conversations. I can think back on all the times I've wanted to vent, and the mistakes I made by not

It's been a long time since I last updated. I was going to re-vitalize my Blog-City blog, and I made a post to that effect and everything, but I wanted to be able to update using a client-side program. Blog-City kept giving me errors, I think because I wasn't a paid subscriber, so I'm going to use Blogger instead. Basically this will be the blog in which I post my responses to a bunch of writing

My main blog is and shall always be at http://elfword.mindsay.com thanks to MindSay, the best blogging service out there. I created blogs at all these other places for several reasons.
