I remembered what I was going to say before I wrote the last post.
I found an article called “Seven Tips From Ernest Hemingway on how to Write Fiction.” It’s an interesting read, and I wanted to share it with everyone, in case you missed it on the web.
I may start to take this advice, once I can come up for air this semester. If that ever happens, y’all will be the first to know.
Fresh off of a 4.0 semester, I thought I had this whole thing covered. Little did I know that the 45 day break between semesters would cause such horrible atrophy in my scholastic mind, that it would take nearly a month to get back into the swing of things.
I knew it would happen, which is why I planned on doing Java over the break, why I was hoping to have completed two or three major house projects, and not to have spent the majority of my free time lounging around, watching television and getting back into the terrible habit of playing Minecraft at every opportunity. None of my major projects were completed, I did very little programming, and I did, in fact, spend quite a bit of time watching television and playing Minecraft. “Laziness is a secret ingredient that goes into failure. But it’s only kept a secret from the person who fails.” –Robert Half.
How right he is. I had no idea, and I’m scrambling to get back into the game. I think I’ve got it for Trigonometry. Mythology is a cake walk (thank god), and while Java is a lot of work, it’s not new learning for me, so it’s easy. As always, the English class is the beast. Lots of research and writing, and now there’s also analysis. I like this last part the best, but it’s new and all new things take time to master.
I came over here to write about something, and ended up writing this instead. Obviously this was more important and needed to get out, because I have no idea what the other thing even is anymore.
Hey everyone,
It’s been a crazy winter break, but I’m back to my old schedule again. Well, it’s really the new, old, schedule because none of the classes are the same, nor will I have the same time to spend goofing off between work and school. Hopefully I can keep things going, homework-wise, or I’m gonna be screwed.
I’ve got another full load this semester. Java Programming, Intermediate English Comp, Trig and Mythology. Should be fun. There’s enough in there that I am really excited about that I think this should be a really great semester.
Oh, in case you weren’t in the know about my big achievement last semester… I got a 4.0 for the semester! Woot! I hope to be able to repeat that performance this semester. I think I can, as long as I don’t slack off in Java and Trig. The rest should be easy. Man, those sound like famous last words… Truth be told, the English class will probably be the hardest one. I worked my ass off in ENGL 101 and barely got the A. Hopefully this one isn’t as tough, or the teacher has ideals closer to my own. Time will tell.
I’m also getting back to the gym. t/th/sa. Gonna figure out some resistance training and some cardio. Make strong and get endurance! Yes! I’m also going to be doing Kempo if everything works out properly. More on all this later. I just wanted to drop by and remind people that I’m alive.
In many ways, I find snuggling to be the most fulfilling aspect of intimacy. This article is great, it shows that there are people out there that enjoy and appreciate a good snuggle, and that it doesn’t have to be the pre-cursor (or post-cursor) to sexual activity. I know when I was single and lonely, the thought of having someone to snuggle at night was forefront in my mind, much stronger than the desire for sex. Apparently I was not alone in this desire.
I found my Prinze Charming! Well maybe not mine since we’ve never met and I’m probably his Mother’s age, but he did inadvertently make me remember something with his article No Strings Attached Snuggling. Being a single woman, I think snuggling is the thing I miss the most about being in a relationship.
When I was married I insisted on (and got) what I called the “60-second snuggle”. This was the most important part of every single day because it is the very thing that started every day. It may not have kept our divorce at bay, but it did teach us both that stopping to snuggle up for that single minute each morning — before anything else, had the power to change the course of our entire day. Sure we were laying there thinking about how bad we had to pee, but we also allowed our hearts to slow from the…

I stumbled upon (not related to StumbleUpon) Prinze Charming’s blog today, and found an interesting article there, The Ultimate Sacrifice for Love; Makes Sense to Deny Participation, wherein the prinze asks, “Which of your five senses would you give up each time you make love to your lover?”
At first I thought that it would be an all-encompassing loss of the sense. If you chose sight, you would never be able to see again, ever. My answer to his question at this point in my understanding was to become a monk, live in a monastery and play video games for the rest of my life.
As I continued to read the article, I believe his intention is that you would only lose the sense while being intimate with your lover. The thought of a loss of a sense only while being intimate is actually quite exciting… If I had my choice, I would want it to be a random chance of loss of sensation. The only one that I’d see as “too bad” would be the loss of the sense of touch. You’re not too likely to “get anywhere” if you can’t feel things, if you know what I mean.
For many people, the excitement of making love to the same person fades after a while. The excitement of discovering the curves of their body, the places that make them giggle, and the ones that make their hairs stand on end comes to an end after you have found them all, and can draw upon them as you wish. It’s one of the reasons that people cheat, the excitement of discovery is what drives people to do new things, or to do new things to new people.
With the random loss of a sense each time you became intimate with someone, your experience with them would change each time. Perhaps you lost your sight. Each kiss would be a surprise, a touch could come from anywhere and you would never know. The unpredictability of the experience could make things interesting and new each time. As long as it was not a permanent loss that effected my day-to-day life, I’d go for the roulette wheel of sense loss during intimacy.
If that’s “breaking the rules”, and I’m forced to pick one sense to lose every time I make love, I would go with taste. I feel like it’s probably the least important sense during intimacy, but I’m not really the type to involve food during “playtime”. Loss of sight would be a huge impairment, as I am an extremely visual person. Loss of hearing would be almost equally debilitating, sound is the primary method of performance feedback, and is extremely sexy. Touch would probably be the worst though, without the feedback from your own body, how would you know if you were having a good time? Sure, you’d have the closeness, but you wouldn’t be able to feel it. No breath upon your neck, no wet kisses on your stomach, no pleasurable sensations from love making. Arguably, the loss of touch would impair, for men, your ability to even make love at all; for women, the emotional connection would still be there, but there wouldn’t be the feeling of closeness. I find it very difficult to believe that many people could have meaningful intimacy without the sense of touch. More research should be done on this subject. The sense of smell would not be a huge loss, but it would be noticed. The smell of your lover’s body, perfume or cologne is extremely powerful. Psychologists say that the sense of smell is very closely linked to memory, and that a scent can trigger powerful emotional recall. If you couldn’t smell your lover to help create these memories, there would be a definite loss.
To sum up: I’d either be a Video game playing, kung fu fighting monk, a sensational(loss) gambler, or a tasteless lover.
It’s that time of the year again, Finals. Everyone is writing, preparing, studying for their tests and performances. I, personally, can’t focus on that right now. I look at my notes and formulae and just see things that look easy and not worth going over. God, I hope that means I’m ready for this. It’s either that, or I’m deluding myself, preventing the studying that would be beneficial to my completion of this semester’s excitement.
I write this to try to clear my head of stray thoughts, prime myself for taking the big test in a few short minutes, but I fear that it is not working. Even as I attempt to align my willpower and accomplish this one task, to purge the excess energy from my mind, I am distracted by the sights and sounds around me: The table full of people discussing how badly they’re going to fail American History, the nice-smelling girl who just sat down next to me to finish her research paper or the hum of the florescent bulbs overhead.
None of those are really preventing me from writing. The real problem is the Asian guy listening too loudly to dubstep over his DJ-style headphones. I wonder if anyone else is as annoyed by that as I am. Why does no one say anything to him? Why don’t I say anything to him? Perhaps it’s a breech of the social contract that keeps humans from killing one another just because we can. He’s showing his dominance over those of us here in the library, attempting to keep to ourselves and study for finals. Presumably he is as well, his methodology differing distinctly, forcing us to bask in his auditory power over the silence of the library. If he were an ancient human, in the time before civilization, he might be banging his spear against his shield and shouting violently at the lot of us, deemed weaker in his eyes by our preference for peace. His war chant sounds much like fingernails against a chalkboard set to a heavy beat, one which we cannot help but answer. And the only answer available is conflict! Where are the warriors of our tribe? Why have we not met this challenge? Perhaps they look to me. Should I be the one to silence this threat? Am I to gather my shield and spear to meet this warrior on the field of battle? I am! I will champion my people! This threat to our way of life will be removed by my hand!
Oh. A librarian has caught the sound of his music and has asked him to turn it down. The challenger backs down, faced with a greater foe than he, but today it is not I.
Now it’s time to meet the true challenge. It’s 5 minutes until class starts, the final exam awaits. Perhaps I have a need for my spear and shield after all…
Perhaps this will end up being another series of articles for my blog, which I mostly say since I really only have one tip in mind at the moment. It’s something that I’ve learned about myself, and find it useful as well as frustrating. So here it is
When I write, I find that the first thing I write in any given session tends to be short, disjointed and generally not that great. This is the frustrating part of it. The good news is, once I’ve written whatever it was, I almost always go on to write other things, and they are invariably better than the first one. The advice I’d give here, if you experience the same issue, is to write something unrelated to your important project, and then move on to the main event. It’s a lot like an athlete stretching before her event. If you go in cold, you might not perform as well as you would want or, even worse, get a cramp and be unable to complete your event. It’s the same for writers. We have to prepare, and we all have different ways of doing so, or we could end up with a mental cramp, aka writers block. Anyone who’s had a rough case of that, knows it’s pretty awful.
What to do with those cast-offs? In some cases, it’s out there on the internet, but if you’re stretching your writing abilities before breaking into the real project, you can keep them to yourself, or take a look at them again later. Maybe you wrote something worthwhile, and it just needs a little fine-tuning from your agile, creative mind once it’s really ready to work.
I hope that helps someone. Writing it down has made it more real for me, and hopefully I’ll start practicing what I preach a little bit more.
I’m sitting here, feeling somewhat creative (also bored) and feel like I should be updating this thing. I’m not attempting to mirror my favorite news blogs, otherwise I could post the kajillion cool things I’ve read about today. I’m also not trying to post for the sake of posting, but many writers/bloggers feel the need to post to keep, and grow, their audience.
How do you know when it’s worth writing?
The likely answer is that it’s subjective. Do you have something you want to say? Then say it. Maybe you just feel like ranting, and want to see who agrees or disagrees. Write a post. Maybe, like me, you’re spinning your wheels with what you’re supposed to be doing, so you want to get something done, but don’t really have much to say. Typically, I’d say to just keep it to yourself, but I’m clearly not doing that.
Why am I writing this then? Self-doubt. I’m not doubting my feelings towards those that don’t have anything real to say or how I feel that they should, or more accurately: should not, write unnecessary things just because they can. More so, because I tend to doubt that the things I have to say are relevant or interesting to others. I try to encourage my friends to write about what they know, even if it doesn’t feel exciting to them. If you do a good job, others will appreciate the effort, leave you constructive feedback and everyone is happy all around. I’m trying to practice what I preach in this area, and write anyway.
It feels like rambling at this point, so I’m gonna close it up, but I feel good for having written something, even if it’s only a small grain of wisdom trapped in the sandbox.
Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight between two fictional characters? Many people have asked the question, and there have been a few TV shows that have attempted to answer it.
Celebrity Deathmatch was one such show. It’s animated antics put two popular celebrities against eachother using claymation. Deadliest Warrior is another similar show. It is still on the air on Spike. It uses computer graphics and real actors to try to determine who is the deadliest warrior. Instead of celebrities, they look to historic or mythological figures or creatures.
I intend to continue the trend, and will present my own version of this question. “Who Would Win?” will be a semi-regular topic starting soon.
Upcoming Bouts
Those are just a few that I thought of today. I’ll think of others, and check comments for battles that you all would be interested in seeing.
This is my first semester taking “real” classes. I’ve done a few electives and even some transferrable work, but this is the first semester where I took a full courseload of transferrable classes and knocked it out of the park, at least I hope so… grades post later this month.
What did I learn? Here’s the list
1) Math classes are better in class than online. Yes, if you are a math genius or already know how to do it, you can and maybe even should take it online. But if you’re unsure or haven’t taken math in a long time, its best to be on campus. They have a tutoring center, not that it was easy to get in there ever, and your professor is an invaluable resource. Even when it was something as simple as “In what order do we take these exponents?” it’s better to ask in class (or after if you’re self-conscious*) than to be stuck at home, with no assistance at all.
2) Check ratemyprofessors.com before selecting a class where you have multiple options. This goes doubly for online classes. You can get stuck with a professor that doesn’t respond to emails or forum posts, and is extremely strict with no way of contacting them when you’re not sure about an assignment. Also, professors are people too, and they have beliefs and agendas. If you’re lucky, they’ll keep it out of the classroom, but that rarely happens. Be sure to find out what their former students think about them, you might find that you wouldn’t want to be stuck with them for 16 weeks.
3) On-campus classes are much easier to prepare for. Yes, you have a lot of deadlines, and yes they are generally at least one a week. Once you get this into your schedule, you may find it a lot easier to accomplish. After all, you have to go to class and turn in your homework or research paper. If you don’t have it, you have to look your professor in the eye and tell them that you couldn’t manage to get it done. Online, there’s no looming figure that’s going to disapprove of your laziness. You just don’t turn it in and collect your zero. Maybe this one is only relevant to some of us who are motivated by disappointment and guilt, but I think it’s a big enough demographic that it’s worth noting.
3a) On campus classes give you more chances to meet and befriend your peers. Even if you’re older and are going back to school after years of working, like I am, you still get to meet interesting people (or kids) and see what views you share. I’ve made judgements about some of my classmates upon meeting them for the first time, only to find out that I was totally wrong after a few weeks of getting to know them better.
3b) If you’re not married or in a relationship, college is an amazing place to meet people. Some study that I’m too lazy to go find now stated that, “4 out of 5 long-lasting relationships begin in college” (unknown). And that statistic is basically made up, but there’s a study out there that says something along those lines. I know that I’ve met some very interesting girls this semester, and if I weren’t married, I would have made sure to include them in my study groups.
Those are the big lessons from this semester. I’m sure there will be more from next semester as well. Keep moving forward, never stop learning, and try to have fun doing so.
* Don’t be self-conscious, you’re paying a lot of money for this education, get the most out of it and screw what everyone else is thinking.**
** The truth is, they’re too scared to raise their hands as well, and are secretly thankful for you asking, because they didn’t know either.***
*** But try not to be the person who asks stupid questions every 15 minutes. We all hate that person by the end of the semester.
You *may have* noticed a distinct lack of updates. Well, I started this project at the beginning of the semester, right when I thought I’d have plenty of time to work, go to school, do homework, spend time with my son, wife and other family members.
I was wrong.
I can admit when I make a mistake, and this is one of those rare times. Maybe not so rare, stop picking on me. 😛 Either way, I’m almost done with school for the semester, and I hope to resume updating after finals. I’ll see what I can do about posting more during the semester, but school is the priority. If anything I wrote for class feels relevant enough to put up here, I might do that… but it’s unlikely.
Live long and stay thirsty my friends.
Romance in video games is so prevalent, especially in games with any kind of story. Especially in the action-adventure games where your solitary goal is to save the princess. That brings up visions of Mario and Princess Peach, Link and Zelda, just about any Final Fantasy game ever. But I’m gonna try to stay away from the old favorites, because it’s just too easy. I mentioned in a previous post that I could just write about Legend of Zelda in almost every day of this “30 days” series, and am trying really hard not to do that.
I had a favorite couple in mind, and went to do some research on other game couples. There’s a few that seem universally adored. Couples that I’m just not aware of. Eddie and Ophelia from Brutal Legend. Never played it, but it didn’t seem like the kind of game that would have a romantic couple in it. Might be worth looking into. Jackie and Jenny from The Darkness. I played it, didn’t really like it. It seemed boring to me. Maybe I didn’t give it enough of a chance. I may try it again at some point, if I get through my huge backlog of games that I’m already not playing. Dom and Maria from Gears of War. What? Really? Who would have known that there’d be a romance in a game like that? I don’t own an xbox, so this was never really on my radar, but interesting to know that it might actually have some decent story to it. Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance from Halflife 2. Uh… I’ve played this game more than just about any other shooter out there. I felt the subtle relationship undertones, but never anything to the level of them being a couple. Course’ I haven’t played HL2 ep2 yet. Maybe it’s in there. dunno. Ico and Yorda from Ico. This is a game that I’ve been meaning to play for a long, long time. Because of this research, I went out and bought the ICO/Shadows of the Colossus pack for ps3. I very much look forward to discovering the relationship between these two. Going along for the ride are Wander and Mono, in Shadow of the Colussus. Another game I’ve been meaning to play since I saw my friend playing it on the PS2. I now own it, and plan to play it soon. Johnny and River from To the Moon. Haven’t played it, but it looks like a cute little RPG/adventure game that’ I’d prolly get if it was on steam. But it’s not. *sadface* But enough about the games that I’m not writing about today… on to the main subject!
I missed yesterday’s update. It’s hard to find time to write when it’s your day off, and the family needs attention. Sorry for that. Expect it to happen again though. –BX
Most annoying character. Oh man. There’s so many. Tingle, from Legend of Zelda. Navi as well. Tidus from Final Fantasy, just about every protagonist in a FF game that had voice acting, to be honest… Samus from Other M, we love her, but when she got to talk… who is this whiny woman who only does what she’s told?
Video games have this tendency to put you in the hero’s role, and to allow you to “become” the hero, often times they don’t talk, so you can imagine your voice behind his or her actions. But when this is done, the supporting characters are usually really obnoxious.
Here’s the wall of shame, in case you don’t already know who these characters are…
Tingle from Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.
We hates him. WE HATES HIM!
Tidus the whiny bitch who ends up with the amazingly cute Yuna anyway. Girls like whiny guys in Japan, apparently.
Navi from (HEY LISTEN!) The Legend (HEY LISTEN!) of Zelda: (HEY LISTEN!) Oca(HEY!)rina(LISTEN! of T(HEY LISTEN!im(HEY LISTEN!)e. Seriously though,she shouts this at you through the whole game. It gets old, FAST.
Hope Estheim, his mom dies, and he’s pretty whiny about it. Overall, very understandable. He’s also a kid. I’m being too hard on poor Hope, but he was very whiny before his mom died too, so he stays on the wall of shame.
Samus Aran from Metroid: Other M. Typically a lone wolf badass who gathers (or loses and then gathers) special powers to do pretty much TOTALLY AWESOME stuff, in Other M, she has all her powers, but won’t use them until command HQ tells her that she’s been a good girl, and can turn on her heat shielding in the lava level, or the electro-dampeners against the lightning pirates. You get the idea. WTF Samus? Where’s your backbone?
Snow Villiers is kind of a bad ass. He looks cool, fights well, but FFS he whines a lot. I think it’s just how the Japanese see Americans. Blonde hair, blue eyes, totally awesome, but whine about everything.
There are so many great video characters out there. I’m going to go with the one that I feel that I am most like, because “wish you were” is sort of a cop-out in my humble opinion. Everyone wishes they were better, could do different things, had magical powers or could cut a building in half with a butter knife. The much more telling, and difficult choice is “Which hero/villain/supporting character are you?”
We could look at this from a number of perspectives. Physically, I’m tall, broad-shouldered, olive complexion, dark hair, and fairly well muscled. I could be this guy
Ezio Auditore from Assassin’s Creed II
I could be ok with that. Especially when he becomes all bad-ass and dons the assassin garb. Which reminds me, I need to finish playing AC2. I am so far behind on that series. But I’m tangenting…
Physically, I could be a match for our pal Ezio here, but I dont know that I’m really the european playboy turned assassin type.
So lets look at Personality. I’m a pretty friendly guy. A little shy at times, but overall happy, easy-going and loyal. I could be this guy:
Luigi from the Mario Brothers Franchise
Man, talk about loyal. Luigi doesn’t even get his name on the title of the game (except Luigi’s mansion, which he clearly can afford since he’s not always off looking for another “star fix” like his fat brother) and yet he’s always there. Waiting in the wings to be player 2. Screw that. I’m no player 2, I’m player ONE. Sorry Luigi, as chill as you are, I can’t relegate myself to being a side character.
Well, we have covered body, mind, which leaves us with spirit. It’s the courage and tenacity of the hero that really makes us want to be a part of what he’s sent to do. I’m trying really hard not to put Legend of Zelda into every post, since it is clearly my favorite game and link my favorite hero. But damn if he isn’t just the personification of courage and tenacity. So, even though I tried not to, I’ve got link up here again.
Link from The Legend of Zelda franchise
He’s a young kid that’s told he’s the only one that can save the world. That’s a lot of weight to put on a little dude’s shoulders. But he goes off on his own (or with a friend, depending on the game) and proceeds to cut all the grass, break all the pots, turn over every stone, (and kill some bad guys) until he’s powerful enough to fight the ultimate evil in the world, and using his courage and tenacity, defeat it. He’s the man. Yeah, he’s got a big boy version too.
Adult Link, Wind Waker style by: shaneandhisdog
But really, that doesn’t answer the question. Who do I feel I am most like? It’s still a very difficult decision, especially for me since I’ve spent the last 8-9 years playing MMOs. I could list off a ton of my personal characters and the choices that they’ve made that are just like how I play things. Even with the non-mmo games I’ve been playing recently, the characters are still modeled the way I want them to be, and make the decisions that I want them to make. My ending of Bioshock was the nice one, because I saved all the Little Sisters. But maybe you had the Angry one, or the sad one, because you killed those poor little girls. Who knows. Even with all of that, I’m gonna go with a character that isn’t necessarily the same for every player on every play through.
I haven’t been looking forward to this one. I am really not sure what to pick for it. I figure that a “guilty pleasure” game is one that you don’t want others to know that you play, or if you don’t care about what others think, its more about you knowing that you shouldn’t play it, but still do.
I’m just not sure I have one.
I’ve always been a gamer, from the first moment I realized that there was adventure to be had in the little green monochrome screen, to the high resolution LED monitors of today, I’ve always played what I wanted to, and never worried about who might think that it was “lame” or whatever.
I’m a proud gamer too. I have the shirts, the figures, wallpapers, calendars, etc… So what would I feel guilty about playing…
According to the all-knowing Oz Wikipedia, these are the major genres in video games.
Action – Quick reflexes, accuracy and timing. There’s a ton of sub-genres, which are generally the more used terminology. Fighting, platformer, shooter, etc…
Action-Adventure – Bastard child of Action, and Adventure! Their love, deemed unacceptable in the more moral times of the 1980s, they were forced to hide behind textual interfaces, and when their love brought forth the progeny of Action-Adventure Gaming, the world was united in harmony! Or something. The point is, we have this genre and its games are part adventure, solving puzzles and interacting with your environment, and part action, shooting things that aren’t puzzles to solve. Oh, and sometimes it’s better to not engage in a toe-to-toe fight, but that’s a whole other sub-genre of Action-Adventure.
Adventure – Puzzle-solving, Environment interaction and generally non-confrontational. Again, there are many sub-genres, but probably not the ones that you would have thought. Text Adventure, Graphical Adventure, Visual Novels, etc… It’s definitely redefining what I thought this genre was about…
Role-Playing – You take on the role of a character in the game and directly control their actions through the game. MMOs, Sandbox, Tactical, Action, are all sub-genres of Role-playing.
Simulation – So many things you can simulate! Construction sims like Civ City. Life sims like Spore. Vehicle sims like Gran Turismo.
Strategy – One of the other “30 day” questions deals with this genre. Asking, “Real-time or Turn based?” Since I’m going to answer that for you later, I wont go into it here, but those are two of the major Strategy sub-grenres. There’s others! Tower Defense, Multi-player online battle arena (MOBA), Artillery… lots of good stuff. You can’t just charge in strong and hope to win. If your opponent has any tactics at all, it wont work.
But which one do I personally like best? Find out after this commercial break!
People have lots of favorite things. Favorite beer, Karl Strauss Red Trolley. Favorite day of the week, Friday. Favorite color, Blue. Favorite number, 8. But, core to the being of a gamer is favorite game franchise. The series that you will always buy the games, no matter what crazy gimmick they’re trying to sell you. And I definitely have one. For a long time it was a tie, and I’ll tell you the franchise that lost the race, and when.
The Runner up is the Final Fantasy series. I do so love it, but there was one game that lost it major points and it hasn’t been the same since. Final Fantasy Crisis Core. I was actually really excited about this game. I loved Final Fantasy VII, as I’m sure many of you did. And seeing story from the perspective of Zack was kinda neat. The gameplay was decent, running around action beat em up… but my god. The leveling and slot machine mechanic…. I hated it. Maybe I didn’t understand it or something, but I’m really pretty much convinced that it was just a terrible awful mechanic. So, that put FF way behind in the race for my favorite video game franchise. What was the competition?
Anyone that knows me already knows what the answer is going to be. Anyone care to guess? See the answer after the jump.
Here it is, as promised. Day 01 of “30 days of video games”.
From the movie, Wargames, starring Mathew Broderick.
My very first video game was on my father’s “portable computer”. Which, in this case, was a 50 lb Intel 8088 compaq suitcase-nuke of a PC. I don’t know how many of you have seen these, or remember them, but I found one not long ago, installed a HDD Card in it, and played some old DOS games on it. It was brutal, but hilarious.
I’ve always known that I don’t literally know everything. No one does. I do tend to say that “I’m always right.” But that’s really because I very rarely make an argument that I am not sure of. I wish more people would do this, but that’s not my point here.
My point is, that I don’t know everything. I often know more than I think I do, but in this case, regarding SEO, I know next to nothing. Since this is something I ought to know something about, I’ve taken some steps to learn more.
I’m blatantly stealing this from my friend, the Token Female Gamer, but I’m giving her credit for it, so I guess it’s not all theft and broken hearts.
She found “Gamer, Writer, Cynic“, who apparently has monthly blog projects. May’s project was “30 days of video games“, which sounds absolutely wonderful to me. So, as TFG stole it and modified it, I am also stealing and modifying. You can click through to GWC to see what her original list is like, and do the same for TFG, but here’s the one I’ll be using.
Nefarious Intentions
