New Puppy, New Apartment, New Goals
The past few months have been really intense. A lot going on ever since my trip to Europe I feel like I have been running around non stop. I find I work best in a frenzied mode because I simply do not have time to be lazy.
We finally picked out our first dog, and since I never had a dog before I have been spending hours trying to learn as much as I can and buy all the right gear to be a good pet owner.
My girlfriend and I finally signed a new lease so we will be moving early October into our new place. It is a little more expensive and is slightly better than our apartment now, but the great thing is they allow dogs, and in the city its tough to find a place that does.
I decided to set a new goal with making money online. From talking to people it is obvious that having a specific goal, or income figure really helps your brain figure out the most optimal way to get there.
My new goal is to make 5k a month from risidual online income by 2009.
30 Day Challenge Comment Spamming
I have been taking part in 30 Day Challenge this year before I went to Russia and Germany for a few weeks. For those of you who do not know what the thirty day challenge is about, it is basically a 30 day training to get you on your way to make your first dollar online. It is let by some internet Gurus like Ed Dale, Andy Jenkins, and more. This is my second year taking part not because I do not make money online, but because there is always something new to learn.
Even when guys like Aaron Wall take shots at 30DC I did not believe some of the accusations. I have learned a lot from the program, but recently I have gotten something on one of my blogs that has made me question their tactics. The screen shot below will show exactly what I am talking about.
Why I Am Ashamed to Be an American While Abroad
I am about to get on a plane to go visit Russia and I will be honest the nerves are a little uneasy about the whole Georgia incident. It is odd to travel and not be proud of being an American. Thank god I speak Russian, so even if my accent will give away that I am not a native, at least it will not be obvious that I am an American.
What has this country come to, where now it is shameful to proclaim that you are an American. Here is a recap of George Bush’s presidency.
