Well, I’m getting fat, Marc, thanks for asking.  Also, I’ve been having some pretty weird dreams lately.  I’ll tell you about them next time.  This is just a general State of the Spartan address.

I’m a little stressed, but you know what helps?  Listening to Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie.  The song speaks to me, brother.  And of course, Freddie Mercury’s really something.   David Bowie was in Zoolander, so he’s cool in my book, too.

Basketball’s been helping a lot.  I’ve been shooting baskets almost everyday, just around my backyard.  I’m actually getting really good at it.  I guess all that shooting, whether rain or shine, really hones your game.  It also doesn’t hurt that I see my brother playing in his varsity games.  There’s always a competitive vibe in me that just won’t quit.  He’s getting better.  All that training he’s getting.. wow.  Makes me wish I signed up for varsity before.

As you probably can see, I’ve sort of sold out my blog.  Well, a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s  got to do, right?  So far, I’ve doubled the initial investment I made on the blog.  That’s pretty good, I think.  I’ve got this idea in my head for another Adsense experiment, but it’s tough.  There’s just too many things going on, and I can’t really focus.  Bad attitude.  I just have to keep my head down, soldier on.

Isn’t it weird how I never post videos on this blog?  It’s not because there aren’t any videos out there.. it’s because for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to post videos here in WordPress.  That’s the first thing I’m going to ask when I get to WordCamp.  Can any of y’all players help me trick out my blog with some videos and sounds (and rims, yo!)?

That’s it for now, Marc.  It was nice talking to you.

..and no, I’m not getting fat.  I’m probably hotter than most everybody you know.

I just realized that I have so many blogs and so many passwords and account names for them for different blogging services, that it’s a wonder I can keep up with them at all.  I’m amazed I can even still log in to this blog right here.  It’s crazy.

Just imagine how many opportunities pass us by while we’re looking for passwords and accounts?  So much time and money wasted, just because we weren’t organized.   The solution?  Well, a lifestyle change would be nice.  Or you can write down all your passwords somewhere.  I don’t really know.

Organization is a skill.  One I unfortunately do not possess.  But it’s never too late to start, right?  If it brings in the dough, then I’m GO GO GO.

I had a really bad game last Friday.  I shot a really low percentage, and wasn’t able to take over even when I had already decided I was going to.  Been thinking about what went wrong for a while now, and I think I finally figured it out.

The mindset wasn’t there.  Usually, when I step on the court, I’m thinking I’m the best.  I’m unstoppable.  I wasn’t last Friday.  I was way too unfocused.  That’s why I sucked.

Man, I feel sorry for the people I’m going to be playing against next.  It’s going to be raining jumpers and points.  Welcome to the Kobe show.

I missed posting for a couple of days, because there is more to life than blogging and trying to make money online.

This is unacceptable, though, because I DID say I would update daily. So here’s a normal blog entry that isn’t about how to make money online, just to fill in the two days I missed. In today’s entry, I talk about my goals and dreams of being a Spartan.

Besides making money online by blogging, I also want to be a perfect physical specimen. If you don’t know what that means, watch 300. I was actually thinking of naming my domain SpartanDaily.com, or BlogSpartan.com. Anyway, I was thinking about how similar getting a six-pack and making money online were. For one thing, they both require a lot of work, and a lot of commitment. For another, not everybody understand why or how you’d do either.

Here is how my blogging routine matches up to my pumping iron regimen:

1. I lift 2x a week < I blog 7x a week
2. I write posts in advance > I have to take a break from lifting every other day
3. I have no blogging friends < I have lots of friends at the gym
4. There is usually a lot of eye-candy available when I’m working out = Well, there’s always porn..?

Just kidding about that last one!

This post made me realize that I have no blogging friends! So I’m going to go right out and look for some. I’m going to leave a dozen comments in different blogs in my same category, and I hope they check this blog out and see how lonely I am.
