it’s 2012 bitches ….

now that i’ve gotten that out of my system i’ll get right down to business. i’ve neglected this blog for a year. i’ve been cheating with tumblr and blogger and i make no apologies for it. it’s not normal to be a tech monogamist. i’m just saying. but i want to do this blog justice because it was my second. and it has my face on it. and i absolutely love the title because aren’t we all searching for meaning and the point of life and stuff?

well, even if you aren’t, my title is cool damnit! so i had to think of how i wanted to incorporate this blog into the fray. i have five blogs. yep, five. why? who knows. because i can? because i like to write? because they’re free? sigh. because i’m a blog bag lady. yep, probably.

but this year, not that it’s a new year’s resolution or anything, but because i just like the promise of a new year and get my stuff in order, i’m going to at least post once a week about the meaning of life. hehehe. yep, let’s drink to that. i hold the secrets you are looking for. i know why the caged bird sings. if you’re nice to me i’ll tell you. even if you aren’t nice, i’ll tell you. i’m cool like that.

where does the time go?

it has been ages since i’ve updated my blog here. i’ve kind of been cheating on wordpress with blogger. well, not completely cheating since my two personal websites sunlessinseattl.com and thecopywritingace.com are both wordpress based sites. but the whole blogging thing has been all blogger this year. oh and a little tumblr. i don’t post original content on tumblr. i most just reblog stuff other people post. some people use that as their main blog. i don’t. right now blogger is my main blog. but i don’t share it with anyone so that kind of defeats the purpose i guess. but i don’t want to share it so it works just fine for me.

anyway, as with each new year, i have big plans for my writing. i want to be cool and awesome and timely and regular. by march i usually fall off. so i will make no such promises here. i’ll just work on a decent editorial calendar and share the love with all my sites. probably stretching myself too thin but then again, that’s what we’re supposed to do right?

Tonight I’m Frakking You

because this is the awesome, i’m sharing with you guys!

apple fangeeks are wii fangeeks

apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from wii. (hehehehe). according to a post on my nintendo news, apple fangirls and fanboys love them some wii.

A recent survey conducted with 3,035 iPhone/iPod/iPad users by the Npoll iOS app shows that the majority of those surveyed prefer the Nintendo Wii over Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3.

Nintendo Wii is the most popular console with 51% of users telling NPolls they own this game console, followed by Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, and Nintendo DS.

Well, there you go son!

Christian Bale likes the powerpuff girls!

i’m a snowboarder!

each year i choose three things to learn and three things to try. this year i’ve been a little lax in completing my list but i’m happy to report that a major thing was checked off the list this past weekend. i went snowboarding for the first time and i’m officially hooked! snowboarding is beyond fun and i can’t wait to get back on the slopes to go for it again. i’m not a rock star by any means but it came way more naturally than i expected. i did grow tired of all the kids who knew what they were doing because they kept showing off. and then the kids that were out there for the first time or too young to maneuver in the snow were working my nerves! but alas, i fully plan to have my bambinos out there as soon as they are old enough once the time comes. snowboarding rocks my world!
