Day 1

Oh My!!!!

I’m finally typing my first Daily Blog!

If you are reading this, thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back often because I will post something random every single day!

At some point, I’ll post something with more meaning (that’s what the other blog topics are for) but until I get to that, you’ll just have to embrace the randomness of these daily blogs!

Just a couple of caveats….

1) I have never claimed to be a web/graphic designer and I have very little training or experience with building a website from ground zero.

My experience comes from little projects that I had back in high school (which was uhhh… more than 18 years ago lol) and from a position I held at my local church were I helped to manage some of the “backend” of our church website, before it got all fancy with live streaming and everything.

My whole goal, for the immediate moment, was to get my website running and start publishing Daily Blogs, just so I have some sort of foundation on my website.

I’m finally at that point and my next goal is to “hopefully” teach myself more in depth design/coding to make a better website overall while playing around with Graphics and other “Fancy Pretty Things” that make a website more appealing!

2) I really do not know where I am going to take this website in the future.

As of right now, I just want somewhere I can throw my thoughts and ideas into words and keep them organized digitally (hopefully we don’t have some sort of fallout with an EMP which would mean all our computers and technology would stop working) but that’s just one of my “random” thoughts getting into these sentences so I will cease to digress!

I have some idea’s of how I would like my blogs to look, based off articles/blogs I have read online but getting the content organized around pictures and getting pictures in the first place will take time to learn. SOOOO until then, again, you’ll just have to embrace the randomness of my blogs and hopefully you’ll be able to read through the blandness of layout while I try to come up with “style”.

Anyway….

It’s really exciting to finally have at least my Daily Blogs up and running! I had a different blog site through Google Blogger but I read article after article that said the Google Blogger platform is not only out of date, it has horrible SEO ratings EVEN THOUGH it’s a Google Service! WEIRD RIGHT?! lol

I thought about transferring those blogs over but I really don’t know how to and even though I’m sure I could figure out a way, I don’t really want to put the energy or time into trying to figure it out so I will just start fresh over here!

I guess I’ll give you a quick run down of what happened today, which will most likely be how all my “Daily Blogs” go….

I woke up and pretty much worked on this website all morning long until I realized I hadn’t eaten lunch and I still needed to go to the gym.

I finally came to a “pause” in my website project, got dressed, drank a protein shake, made note of some things I needed to get from the grocery store and out the door I went!

Yesterday was “supposed” to be leg day but it was a sorry day of leg focused exercises LoL.

So yesterday (Friday) I wasn’t feeling that great because I had some Japanese food the day before that (Thursday) and I have confirmed… all Chinese/Japanese food give me sinus problems, not sure why but yeah…

Anyway, I was supposed to go with an old co-worker of mine but he was busy so I had to figure out when or if I was even going to go. I ended up pushing myself out the door and did a “leg day” if you can call it that!

So… Today I went back to the gym and did the other half of the leg day that I should have done yesterday lol

I finished it off with my favorite pull-up, chin-up and push-up exercises that I do for strength and cardio.

I felt so bad for this one young woman who was really trying to do just one pull-up or was it a chin-up? I don’t remember, I just know she was struggling bad….

I called her over, after her 4th or 5th falling from the pull-up bar lol ( by the way, I’m not laughing at her strength, I’m laughing at how short she was because every time she came down, it looked like she was falling lol)

When she came over, I suggested to her the “assisted” pull-up machine, she tried it out and later thanked me.

If I see her again, I may suggest an inclined pull-up because at least she won’t look like she’s falling from doing that type of exercise haha

After the gym, I headed over the Kroger to get a few things on my list and while I was walking around, I walked by this woman who had BEAUTIFUL HAIR, I couldn’t help myself… I just walked right up to her and told her… I apologize if this is awkward, but you have beautiful hair, the color is amazing.

After she thanked me and I said “you’re welcome”… I had to stop the conversation at that point because the next thing that was about to come out of my mouth was… “the color of your hair reminds me of my dog”

LOL!!!

Don’t get me wrong, please don’t take me the wrong way, I am not comparing this beautiful young woman to my dog, but the color of her hair, which I personally believe was natural, really was a beautiful auburn brown color just like my dogs fur.

I did not want to ruin the compliant I was giving her by saying the “random” thought in my head about my dog, so I walked away LoL

You know, I’m proud of myself… because I have come to realize that I really do sometimes just say what’s on my mind and end up shooting myself in the foot but I didn’t do that today LOL

Just to give anyone who is reading this blog fair warning… if you have Auburn or Ginger colored hair and it’s natural, I’m very much oddly attracted to it. I blame it on my Filipino father who fell in love with my Irish White mother HAHA

Ok enough of that!

I grabbed what I needed from Kroger, got myself some lunch, got home to take a shower, ate and finally got myself to the point that I could type this first blog!

I’m a bit sad that it’s already past 9pm because I wanted to work on a lot of other projects but I think I’m just going to settle for some reading to unwind. I’ve got church in the morning and a ton of tasks/projects that I need to address in the afternoon!

I think that’s enough for my first blog!

Take Care!
