I’m Back!

I figure I wasn’t getting enough readership at my other site so I have returned! Look for me to do more posting soon. I’m going to try and be more regular… we’ll see. BTW, this post is coming from my Mac. In case you hadn’t read what I posted at my other site, I have splurged and purchased a Mac. So far, I love it! I use it more than I use my PC.

Ok, that’s about all for now. Check out my house site, there has been some updates!! My House!

Last Post

Possibly my last post at LiveJournal. I will continue to post at my website… i figure i’m paying for it so I’d better utilize it!

Hope you all come and visit the site often. I hope to be more dilligent on my posts there… besides, it’s real easy now that I have control of it (not that it’s all that hard to post here, hahaha).

If my site pisses me off, I’ll be back to LiveJournal.

Two Quickies

First: I bought a house. It’s being built, I have no idea when move in will be, hoping Sept. Now people can come and visit me!!

Second: I just found out today that the soda machines at work (which we only pay $.50 for a soda) have the new 20oz Pepsi’s with the free music from iTunes. That means that we’re getting a song at iTunes for $.50 which is a $.49 savings. Needless to say, I’ll be purchasing a lot of Pepsi in the next few weeks.

More info to come. I swear I’ll try to be better at this whole blog thing. I should just write a quick update every day when I get home from work.

It’s Teaching Time!

So, to further the education of my fellow readers, here is a link to a page that LiveJournal has setup for our favorite part of the English language; Homonyms!

Also, here’s a small rant about the use of the “apostrophe s”… enjoy!

Contraction Form – The cat’s out of the bag.

Possessive Form – The cat’s feet are out of the bag.

Plural – All the cat’s are out of the bag. << WRONG! INCORRECT! WHERE’D YOU LEARN THIS!? STOP DOING IT!!! >>

Some POPULAR but INCORRECT rules:

1. When pluralizing a word that ends with a vowel, add an “apostrophe s.” (WRONG)
2. When pluralizing any other word, add an “apostrophe s.” (WRONG)
3. Add an “apostrophe s” whenever you feel like it. (Surprisingly, this is also wrong)

Ok, now that I have educated you on common homonym misusage and the consistant misusage of the “apostrophe s”, please take the time to proof read your written material. Remember, it will save you from looking like a complete and utter moron.

Funny…

Some funny things;

The word funny (doesn’t it just look kind of strange spelled out??)
Canadians
Southpark
Canadians
Many things at HomeStarRunner.com
The word chipper… well, it’s not really funny, but it made me laugh tonight when I picked it…

and of course, Canadians

My official first post!

Ahhh! Here it is! nice… i had something important to write tonight, but i have been officially distracted by AIM conversations… oh well!

First, let me just say that if you’re reading this, you now must go to my personal website to learn more about me!

Second, it’s late, and as you can probably tell by my name, I have some valuable TV to catch up on. So, since I have to get up in the morning for work and I want to get at least a few hours of TV in before I go to sleep, i’m going to end my posting for today.

More to come, I swear!

First?

My first entry in my LiveJournal! Soooo exciting! Well, first posts should always be kept short and sweet… so, until later tonight!
