the long wait...

The long wait indeed... today is the first time I've actually thought about updating the blog here in months. This happened for two reasons. First, Xmas is a time when my business is simply very busy. Second, business slows way down after Xmas. Thus, I have time to be creative, market, blog and such. So, here it is... the newest of the new... from me to you. Whoever you are.

Anyway, I've been working on my new selling template for the Ebay store for Massive Ink. You can find it by going here: stores.ebay.com/themassiveink

I haven't added a bunch of new products with the new template yet so it will all look much the same as it did. But when I get another couple more days behind the computer, the new designs will be hitting. I like them... some are simple - for simple people. Some are more artistic. I like both styles. Being an artist, my favor would lean toward the artistic side.

I've noticed too that the shirts that have been selling more lately are the second amendment, anti-obuma, and those types. I guess this goes with the current problems were all seeing in Washington and the coming depression. Since I live in Florida, I can tell you that we're either in a depression now or either its a severe, severe recession. Florida's housing market has been hit the hardest I think - besides California and Nevada. The bad economy hits us first.

But all is not lost... and we'll all live through this... unless the poles shift. Then we're all screwed. For an idea on what that's like, check out the movie by Art Bell and Whitley Steiber caller 'The Day After Tomorrow'. Pretty spooky. The tornadoes in downtown Los Angeles were a nice touch ;)

simple...

Yesterday, I visited my cousins on their boat. They were passing through on their way back down to Palm Beach. They're such good people. Anyway, that was the first time in forever since I've been on a boat like that... it was very cool. At just under 40 feet, there was plenty of room to move around and relax. Very nice. Maybe someday, that will be my situation, but at 30 gallons an hour, cruising up and down the Intercoastal to Georgia and back won't be happening for me any time soon.

Aloha...

bubba...

Below is a video from some dude with a big fat hand. He has a big fat burrito. He is preparing to feed his dog. I think everyone knows what's going to happen.

dog gone burrito gone


Ugh.

b-boys...

Listening to the Beastie Boys now. Good music. Tired of listening to the radio crap as of late. Paul's Boutique is a great album. Lyrics such as "one man's ceiling is another man's floor" really makes me smile. I'm about to start in on this blog and make more important entries instead of rambling about my existence or music. Later.

out of gas...

People are dumb.
They don't think too much. In this case, there's a bunch of people in Charlotte, NC are DRIVING around Charlotte to find pumps with gas. Why I say they're dumb is that they don't sit tight somewhere and get online and look to see where gas IS available. There are plenty of websites out there that provide stations' status, prices and such. But alas, most of these people probably don't know about this technology - or the mythical internet.

Here's the article...

The reason for the lack of gas? Capacity. Yeah, what a curious coincidence huh? Right in the time of the worst financial crisis in recent times... and we've got their pipelines running at a diminished capacity. Problem? Yeah, for the customers. Not for the oil companies...

THINK!

remember me...

I always get the messages at the top of every login screen I see that asks if I want to be remembered. My login info anyway. It is kind of aggravating because I never use those features.... this mainly because I'm concerned that someday I'll have my computer stolen and all the passwords and info will be gone with the machine. I'm just weird like that.

But then, I will say that the machine I use now has lasted almost 2 years. This is a very good thing... I can now say that HP makes a good machine. It has lots of cool features and has always served me well... though now I hear a rattle around the hard-drive location. Kind of makes me nervous, which is why I'm going to try to sell it eventually.

That's about it for now... oh, the economy... yeah, things are bad.
That sucks. Listen in to Alex Jones' radio show, he'll tell you what to do when the shit hits the fan.

escape...

You know, the more I watch the news and the more I hear about people losing thousands of dollars in the stock market, sometimes daily, the more I think about escaping. We're all going to be in a police state soon... we can see that when the official name of peace officers have become police officers - from phrases like civil servants and patrolmen morphed into terms like the Special Weapons And Tactics units and law ENFORCEMENT agencies.

Ugh. But when the economy goes bust, what do we do?
