New Sh*t (Site Updates)

I know I was ready to say eff this blogging sh*t a couple weeks ago, but I've been making some changes and now I'm back into it. A few things I should mention:

• The related article widget is cool, but has some issues. I've been working with a really helpful rep from the company that developed it. She's working on fixing it so that it'll read/recognize this site's RSS feed. After she's done that the recommendations will get more diverse.
  

• The Tweetboard feature is pretty effing awesome. I haven't seen it on too many blogs just yet, so I kinda feel like a slight pioneer. I know it scrolls behind YouTube vids when expanded in Firefox and Chrome, but there nothing I can really do about that.

• I've gonna fill up the side columns with a lil bit of content. I've got some ideas for that.

• Someone told me the white background doesn't show up in IE. I don't use IE so I don't write code based on IE.
  
  
• Stay tuned. More to come.
  

Thoughts on the new layout?

It's not complete, but I like what I've done. What say you? Thoughts? Feedback?

I was robbed at gunpoint yesterday.

I was robbed last night around 8:30-8:45 while walking home from the gym. Two lil fuckers approached me, demanded my Blackberry (of all things), brandished a silver gun and ran off after I forked it over.

Fortunately, this novice bitches didnt take my gym bag which contained two pair of shades that combined to cost twice as much as the Blackberry, my wallet (sans any cash), my keys, a $1550 check I was planning to deposit at work on Monday but didnt b/c I forgot a deposit slip and clothes and shoes.

I'm fine other than having my dignity snatched from me and being completely emasculated by two punks who couldnt have been any older than 16-18.

I'm posting this here, not for sympathy, but b/c some of my actual friends read this blog and may be wondering why they haven't been able to contact me by telephone. I'm not iggin' any of you, some project n*ggers took my shit.

Oh, BPD can suck my dick, too. I called those bitches around 9:10 to file a report. These hoes showed up at 12:30am. I didnt even answer the door.

Sorry if for typos, if any. I'm writing this in transit.

FYI

As you can probably tell I don't really give a shit about this blog anymore. Because I don't want anyone to be completely shocked when it happens, I'm writing to let you all know that this blog -- at least in its current state -- is on it's last leg and that I plan to pull the plug soon. I'm not sure when this will happen, but just know it will.

I'm not sure why but I've grown tired doing this. When I figure out exactly what I want to do I plan to come back with a refocused blog that will be better than ever. I haven't decided if I plan to delete this blog or not. Either way, I'll provide you peeps with the new URL. For now just enjoy whatever sporadic random shit I decide to throw up here until it dies.

Peace.

New Twitter Info

I had to change my Twitter name b/c my account was compromised. Don't ask. The new URL you need to add me on there is:

http://twitter.com/I_AM_MRJONES

Work In Progress

I'm changing up things around here. Not sure when I'll be done, but it'll be nice. Make yourself at home in the interim.

Read this and wanted to share it. Hope someone benefits from the message.

Failure does not prevent success. In fact, failure is what leads to success.

There is no failure, no disappointment, no mistake in your past that can stop you from taking a positive step forward right now. No matter how many times you may have fallen short of the mark before, success is closer than ever.

Each time you get it wrong, you learn more about how to get it right. Keep putting that growing knowledge and experience to use, and you'll reach your goal.

Every disappointment you've ever known is now in the past. The past is over and cannot hold you back.

Now is when you're able to move forward. Today you can take the valuable lessons you've learned and transform them into effective action.

Every step you've taken, whether it seemed to work or not, has brought you closer to success. Now go ahead and take the additional steps that will bring you all the way there.
