I decided to change the theme up a bit. I found this one; not too bad, although I’m not 100% satisfied. I plan to make a few updates here and there to get it just the way I like it.

My biggest peeve is only one post is shown on the front page. I really would like to have at least two, maybe three. I do like the sidebar posts, tagged with my Twitter updates. It makes a perfect spot for those. Not to mention the solid empty bar at top.

I’ve went through so many themes … it was a pain. To be honest, this was the best of them but yet … it’s still not working right. Ugh!

Update: Okay, I think I’ll stick with this one for now. It’s cleaner and easier to grasp. I might, however, change the header mountains graphic one of these days.

If anybody knows me, they know I’m not a religious guy. I happen to believe in the complete lack of it; but sometimes things happen that you just have to wonder…

I met a girl on Match.com last week. She is articulate, analytical and a traveler. I thought, wow, I had to write her, even if it’s just to talk about travels. Upon reply, it was almost crushing to hear she thought her profile was cancelled, and wasn’t expecting the email, but it was quickly turned around when she said she enjoyed reading my profile. Great!

Over the next few days, we end up exchanging emails worthy of novels of general chatter. Things were going well. We get on the phone, but only talked for a short period (45 mins? that’s short for most). We arrange a time, and place, to meet in person.

The Horven. A new species of bird released in the wild, developed by cross breading a raven with a pony (no horses were harmed in the making of this creature. After all, ponies aren’t real horses…)

I’ll be the first to admit, my blog was pretty bland without any pictures or images. I did intentionally build the blog like that to keep the load down, and easier on the browsers, but lets face it: it’s just a page full of text. And like most people, you hate just a page full of text.

To rectify that, I’ve installed a new plugin called Photo Dropper which allows me to pull in photos from Flickr and drop (duh?) them right into me posts. Now, you have something to look at while reading me posts. Yay! I know you’re excited; don’t try to hide it!
