Insert Catchy '08 Slogan Here

Ahh yes. It's been months since I've graced theses "pages". I have no one to blame but myself... Wait, I'm American! I blame my job! Anyway, I have been planning to write lots of stuff for the new year... just you know, the for mentioned excuses.

New Years Resolutions ( Cause if I put it on the internet, then I have to make them come true since like I always used to say "Lies make baby Jesus cry" ). I'm comparing it to upgrading to Vista from XP. Now that I think about it, XP and Vista are pretty much the friggin same, but Vista at least looks nice and glossy. Also, some of your favorite XP programs don't work on Vista... Hmm, well maybe XP to Vista isn't the best analogy, but Macs are stupid.

In no particular order...

01. Get in Shape.
02. Use my engineering degree at my current job... or new job
03. Buy a new car.
04. Finally buy a condo!
05. Revitalize my Cafepress store... yeah, it's still there.
06. Make my Design Business idea a reality.
07. Reconnect with my frat brothers.
08. Blog More! Just like the old days!

Ok thats it. Thats enough. I barely have time for this blog so just imagine this herculean list of things I'd like to accomplish in the next 365.

I should knock out a few before the end of first quarter 08 (you like my corporate speak? I'm getting ready...) I've been going to the gym since December. It's amazing how much paying for it when you're not a millionaire will make you go to the gym.

I'm going to buy a new car as soon as I get my darn tax refund which better be huge since Uncle Sam has been making me his bitch for a year;

Uncle Sam: "Where's my money hoe!
Me: I don't got it big daddy, I don't got it.
Uncle Sam: Don't lie to me bitch!
Me: Ok ok, here, take $200 every week. Please!
Uncle Sam: Yeah... thats right. You're lucky you're a democrat.

On the flip side, I've been saving half my remaining paycheck every week to put down on my future condo/townhouse. I'm very very very ready to have my own place and I've been logging dozens of hours in front of HGTV programs (no it's not GAY) getting ideas to make my future condo/townhouse look like a home and not a college apartment or a bachelor pad.

I've also been reading books related to the stuff I actually studied in college. I'm not sure about going back to school yet and what kind of graduate degree I'd pursue, nor do I want to drop over a G to get certified in a particular industrial engineering topic. Library books however, are free. Nuff said.

Lets take the Delorean up to 88mph and go back to 2006 when I got all hype about Cafepress and imagined making all these money from photoshop designs. It's practically a turn-key business. Well my photoshop skills were also 2006'ish and I'm waaaaaaay better now. The webite I made back then, boring. But now I know how to produce more professional website layouts now with photoshop, so thats step 1. Well might as well outline it cause, it's my blog so there!

Cafepress Store Plan
01. Change store name/rebrand
02. Redesign website and give it a more professional look
03. Review all current designs
04. Add new designs

Simple...

Six Star Graphics... thats 2nd or 3rd Quarters 2008.

Blog more... I'm here ain't I? Gosh!

Lastly, I really really really want to reconnect with my frat brothers. I've been kinda just going to work everyday not thinking about anything but getting to the weekend, but I'm gonna put forth a new effort to fit in non work things into my life, my bros especially.
