I have long been criticized by whomever I am with at the time (girlfriend, roommate, parents, whoever) for my love of the good old fashioned afternoon nap. I have been one to take naps after work, or school, for as long as I can remember. A lot of people think I am just extremely lazy, or that I should work out more, or some other such thing in order to combat my desire to nap. The problem is, I don’t always nap because I am tired, I nap because I truly enjoy a nice afternoon snooze. Over the years, my schedule has varied quite a lot, there have been many variables at play all the time, yet my desire to nap never waivers. Perhaps I should be the subject of sleep study, I don’t know. My day to day schedule in the past 5 years has gone from 21 credit college […]

What’s so bad about cubicles?
For so many years I have heard people make fun of cubicles and the people who inhabit them. Everything from TV shows to comic strips have long loved to insult the ever hated cube. Even the people working in them yearn for that corner office to escape the “cubicle monkey” namesake. I for one, don’t really get it. In my relatively short career I have worked at 3 different companies across 5 different office buildings and I have yet to find a cubicle I don’t enjoy. Have I just been lucky? How did I escape winding up like this guy? (this was later found to be fake, but the point is the same) Office Berzerker I can understand the cubicle monkey mentality, and I have seen some examples of really poor cubicle layout which makes it seem like you are working in a sweat shop, I think a lot of […]
Windows Vista, It Doesn’t Suck
I have been using Windows Vista for about a year now and while originally I was on the “Vista Sucks” bandwagon, I have since come to like it. I am going to try to explain why, as a long time computer user, I think Vista, doesn’t suck. Let me first preface this by giving a bit of my background and a little information about why you should listen to me. Firstly, since you are reading this, you obviously assert that my opinion on almost everything is vastly superior to anyone else’s, I mean, I have a blog; How can what I say not be right? On a more serious note though, I have been a windows user since the days of Windows 3.0. I was probably 12 years old at the time, but I still used it. I have also used almost every iteration of Windows since then. In case […]
Why can’t I just be successful online?
Why?! Not for lack of trying thats for sure. For the past seven or eight years, I have tried time and time again to fulfill my life goal: Becoming so successful on the internet that I can quit my day job. This might sound unrealistic, but is it? How hard can it be to make enough to earn a living online? I’m not trying to become a millionaire, just maybe $80,000 would suffice. So why can’t I do it? I think I know. Long-term motivation. Let me go through a list of projects I have attempted and why they failed: WerkkreW Productions This was the original reason I bought werkkrew.com. It was a joint venture to support and promote local music. Essentially we were a miniature record label/record promotion company started when we were all about 16 years old. This company lasted about 4 years actually but it never did […]
