My Last Full Week of Summer Vacation

Yo,

It’s awhile since I’ve posted. My summer vacation has been great! I know that I’ll look back at my time in Wayzata with great memories. This summer is also marks a slew of new beginnings for my family that have rekindled our inner spirits.

This Fall, I’ll be moving away from my home state to attend college and my brothers will be advancing to high school. It’s honestly difficult to believe that the moment I’ve been so eagerly awaiting is just days away. And, in the same respect, it’s difficult to believe that my brothers will soon walk the halls I once had the honor to walk at Wayzata High School. I’m eager for these changes and advancement.

As for this blog, after reading The Four Hour Workweek, I figured that I could batch my blogging to ensure that content is published daily. Because I follow a pattern with this blog, see panel on upper left, and because I’m limited to only a few sentences with my other blog, I’ve finally decided to use Posterous, where you’ll find nothing but randomness as I begin to play around with this newfound sandbox. However, due to its amazing ablility to foward content to all of my other social networks, I might actually use it to simplify my social media. In that case, I’ll find another sandbox to blast my randomness.

In addition to publishing daily on this blog, my other blog, and my Posterous, I’ve also setup up a seperate and public Twitter account where I’ll setup automated links for my social networks (such as my Words of Wisdom blog). It’s rather unfortunate that I must maintain an elevated level of privacy with my social networks, but it is quite necessary.

If you got this far, thank you! I look forward to maintaining my blogs. In the near future, you’ll be able to read my Words of Wisdom via e-mail thanks to MailChimp and shortly thereafter, you’ll be up-to-the-moment with text messages from the Words of Wisdom blog.

Peace is love,

I'm back!

Yo,

It’s been quite sometime since I’ve been public on the Internet. I’m sure you all are wondering why I chose to take a short break from social media. Somethings are difficult to explain via the Internet, especially personal affairs. (No, not like Former President Clinton!)

I am pretty amped to be back online! I know that I’ve have the proper time to really think about where I want to be in the next few years and even beyond the next five years.

Since my last post, I have been pretty busy with an undisclosed business venture and Online Frontiers, LLC and even helping out a few friends with their local venture, Marine Solutions, LLC. Oh yeah, I graduated from Wayzata High School!

Since my first week of summer vacation, I have caught up on sleep and made slight progress with Online Frontiers, LLC. I’m greatly looking forward to this summer vacation and what we’ll achieve.

I’d like to make a shoutout to those who have been supportive of my break in communication.

Peace is love,

It's been one week!

Greetings,

It’s been one week since I launched my new layout and Tumblr concept. See this post that lauched my concept last Sunday.

I have gained two followers on Tumblr via Twitter since my transformation. This blog has managed a slight increase in absolute unique visitors, according to Google Analytics. However, I ambitiously hoped for a significant increase.

On the contrary, I am proud to say that my Daily Words of Wisdom has experienced ample growth.

Every Sunday, I create a list of seven goals I wish to accomplish for the upcoming week. Mind you, these are small goals that play a slight role in my query of quarterly goals.

- Continue to run every morning
- Mind that food is fuel and only beneficial food should be consumed
- Read for at least thirty minutes daily
- Maintain this blog
- Twitter my WoW blog daily
- Take advantage of the warm Spring weather
- Make a final decision regarding year of 2009-2010

I hope that you, the reader, enjoy my new project. Let me know what you think! I’m eager to read your comments, suggestions and thoughts.

Peace is love,

Today my blog is reamped!

Hello all! Today I logged into Tumblr to find seven buttons staring at me: Text, Photo, Quote, Link, Chat, Audio and Video.

Tumblr Dashboard

That inspired me to finally blog daily. When I inspected the Tumblr Dashboard closer, I connected the seven buttons with the seven days of the week. Therefore readers may expect me to post as follows:

Sunday: Text
Monday: Photo
Tuesday: Quote
Wednesday: Link
Thursday: Chat
Friday: Audio
Saturday: Video

This should keep me on my toes. I am certainly excited to blog daily and I know truly believe that Tumblr is the way to blog. The only challege I forsee is on Thursdays. I do not know if I’ll be able to provide fresh content as I tend to chat with a set number of people.

Let me know what you think! I’m eager to read your comments, suggestions and thoughts.

Peace is love,
