I said I would post everyday to celebrate having posted 100 enteries, but that obviously did not happen. Obviously, I will then do the opposite extreme. I am taking a break! I'm not making self imposed deadlines so screw it. I still plan on posting but no more pressure if I do not.
Also, working two jobs uses up a lot of time. I'm happier though. :)

Wordpress vs Blogger
I use both Wordpress and Blogger now. I use Blogger.com for my personal blogs and Word press for the Chandler Symphony blog. I feel like I have not played with either as much as I should. Wordpress has impressed me more so far. It seems a bit more user friendly and there is more content for me to learn and play with. I will do that but not this week.
This thought process started for one reason. I said I would blog everyday but forgot till late. I'm tired and wanted a quick subject. I came to blogger trying to convince myself that I could write something quick and not revising it would not be too bad (I know it really is so I will look over the last few blogs because I have been lazy for a bit). I saw the Stat button on blogger so I clicked on it. I do not remember blogger always having that function. I added my own traffic tracker and lost it when I changed my design. Wordpress displays the stats in nifty charts which I like better than blogger's though I am unsure why. I will do more research tomorrow. On the other hand, blogger let me not track my own page views which will significantly decrease traffic.
I have a question about my traffic. Why would someone from the Netherlands be curious about my 100th post or my stupid roommate? A few people from other countries have looked at my blog site. I am guessing a wrong click most of the time. Funny enough, people have looked at my Galapagos post in the past month. This whole stats tab is quite fun. I need to go back and revise older blogs.

This is my 100th blog here!
Webcomics always celebrate their hundreds and I feel like I should. I am just unsure how. I will celebrate by blogging once a day for a week. This is also because I so need to catch up on some stories. I thought about writing about my 10 year high school reunion, the election, and Halloween, but I wanted to write about wanting to write. No really, this will be a short blog about a variety of subjects.
I got a new job! I got another food and beverage job. School districts are swamped with subs so I'm postponing going that for two months. The Halloween story will fill in the details for where I got my motivation but it all boils down to the Hilton is a horrible place for me to work for. It is such a toxic place. Anyway, I got a job working at Cafe Forte - a restaurant in Old town Scottsdale.
My brother is moving in December 1st. My roommate is struggling with the fact that I gave her 30 days notice. I told her at first that she probably could stay till December 8th because that was when her apartment became available. Once she got that from me, she stopped talking to me other than polite murmurings. She ignored me and huffed about so I got angry. Also, my bro is excited to move in and have his birthday party here. That date is the 12th of December so 4 days is not enough time. When I told my roommate that she had 30 days, she told me that the earliest she could leave was the 8th. Oh, I do not think so. I told her it was in our sublease agreement that 30 days notice is all that is required. As well, she shot a gun in our house. I love playing that card because she has no argument against it. She tried again to change my mind today. No way, she is out.
Talking of my home, I felt it was too messy. My brother assured me it was not. I picked up a bit and feel better. My room reverted back to its normal mess but I will work on it.
Lastly, my dating break is over. I got tired of meeting guys. Also, life got distracting. I figured out my goals for the next five years and got a second job which seemed to fix most of the issues I was having. At the same time as I got the job, I meet a really nice guy. Who knew that listening to NPR would be a turn on? We are just hanging out so who knows if he is even interested, but he got me thinking of dating again.
Continuing goal - Practice my bass. Not just say it or write it, but actually make some noise.
