Ok Ok, I have been somewhat missing in action the past few months but for good reason. I have been learning online marketing. The day to day of programming is fun but I spend way to much time behind the computer. So what have I learn so far?
I have learned that the sites I use, like MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc are being used by people to gain a marketing advantage. They are actually making money off of these sites. That surprised me in the fact that I never really saw that potential in these sites. I just saw them as a social hangout.
So what exactly have I been doing? I have been creating videos and making sites. The first site I made was Joseph Geyer. This is my personalized mentorship site where I aim to provide mentoring to those just beginning network marking, or just plain old marketing. Yes I have learned this so well that I now teach others.
My second site is called MLM Ball. It helps show people there broken mindset when wanting to be successful in any online business and helps promote the All 4 One Mastermind community.
And the latest and greatest site, My Millionaire Date strives to show people that there is a better way to manage there money and become a true millionaire. No game playing, no wishing. Pure help. It is actually my best work to day as far as opt in pages go.
Yes, I am still doing some work on Foxxy Playground but the budget for work has been pretty much shot so now I am looking for more work to help offset the lower income. I know my marketing sites will start performing once I do the whole web 2.0 thing and build my web of trust so I am not to worried about it.
On another note, I have an offer for one of my domain names ds9.com and I am seriously considering it. The guy has been trying to get it for a couple of years and I am not doing much work on it right now anyways. The only thing I would loose is my cool email address (and a few other people also) but such is life I guess.
There you go, my happenings over the past few months (if you had any interest). Oh, you can find me on Twitter also to get a deeper reflection on my life.

Loading ...By now you have heard about another school shooting here in the USA. No doubt, people are going to start blaming video games, which is totally untrue. What is most important to remember here is that more people die in IRAQ each day with suicide bombing and insurgent actions. These events are not covered as much in the media as a school shooting that “only” killed 6 people. I put only in parenthesis there because any unexpected death is unfair. You are here to live your life, not have someone else take it from you. Its selfish for you to kill anyone, not to mention unethical in and immoral.
As I last checked, they have not released the name of the shooter and I think they should never release it. Do not give them any credit. The people that commit these horrible crimes do it so they can die in the public and try to make everyone else feel there pain. People will say “we should of done this” or “we should of done that”. The only people allowed to say that are the parents. If you want to blame someone, blame the parents. They FAILED in raising there child with ethics and morals so they would not do such a thing. If you want to blame someone, do not blame the gun, do not blame video games, do not blame the internet. Actually you can blame the media as well for the intense covering they give each of these shootings. The media harp and harp on these kind of events that almost give the perpetrator an infamy and one that will live on in the history books. We should mark there names from the history books, not have any information on them and just call them gunman. FORGET who they were, do not pay any attention to whom they were. The reason that a school shooting is so desirable is because of the media. The reason they DO the school shooting is bad upbringing. I expect more school shootings in the future as our “barney” kids, the ones whom were raised by a television, mature up to high school and college age.
Don’t coddle your child with a TV show. Nurture them like a good parent.

skin.. one has to wonder what all the christian “blacks” have to say about there very humble bible condoning slavery? Was the “white” man wrong in following the very bible so many hold near and dear today? I referenced the following:
Exodus 21:7
“If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do.”
Exodus 21:2
“If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years; but on the seventh he shall go out as a free man without payment.”
Ex 21:7-37 is a bunch of “laws” for Maidservants. These “laws” are abided by many blindly without actually questioning there reading materials and many who dont even read. The white man has surely “destroyed” the black man, but they were taught to do so by the ultimate law of the land. God’s Law.
So the next time you are bitching that “I” owe you something because my skin pigment is white, I am merely gonna ask if you are a christian and if so, STFU. Actually I will say that either way cause I know damn well I do not have any slaves and I sure as hell did not enslave YOU.
Was MLK Jr a Christian? Did he denounce his faith like he denounced his “oppressors”? Makes you really wonder about religion does it not?
If you want to taste a bit of a wake up call, read Leviticus. Seriously.
Slavery is bad, even when condoned by the “Word of God” no matter how you shape it. Period.

Before I get into the whole reason for the post, let me just tell everyone out there that it seems to me that Kerosene and Fuel Oil are one in the same. Only difference is the K number. Fuel oil has multiple K numbers and is usually 2 while Kerosene is K1. This equates to basically $0.20/gal difference in price. I purchased K1 not knowing the difference. I come to find out that K1 burns much cleaner so I dont feel so taken advantage of as much as I did when I first found out.
When I moved in, the fuel tank was bone dry. The fuel gauge on the tank was below empty. Now to all you folks out there, I do not have perfect credit (I have some judgements against me that are a few years old) so I was not qualified for a budget plan. This kind of defeats a budget plan if you ask me. They were created for people who can not afford a $700 fuel billl at once. So I ended up being a pre-pay customer with a minimum delivery of 100 gallons. Luckily I bought this before oil went above $85/barrel so I got it at a "discount" of $2.89/gal. For those not smart at math, my 100 gallon fill up cost $289.
I have no idea how long 100 gallons will last me. Nobody here talks about fuel usage etc. I figured that 100 gallons would last me a month at minimum especially considering the nice spring like days we are having right now in Hagerstown.
After several cold cold cold mornings (just like camping lol), the fuel was finally delivered on this past Friday. Being the careful person I am, I tried to fire up the furnace. No luck. It came on for 5 seconds and shut off. Wee. So I remembered reading something about bleeding the lines when I signed my lease. They wanted to charge me $50 to come out and bleed the fuel lines because "I allowed the fuel tank to get below 20 gallons". Well no amount of explaining the fact I just moved in settled the argument so I said forget it I’ll just freeze.
This morning I decided to "Man Up" after waking to another cold morning. I figured if I can write computer software, I could bleed the fuel lines myself. After some googling I found This HOW-To. It explained it in simple terms even a non-programmer can understand, cause that is the point of wikiHow right? Anyways, I rumaged thru my toolbox trying to find the right size wrench. Yup, all out of wrenchs, apparently they were "lost" in my move last month. So I broke out my ratchet set. The ratchet BARELY covered the hex nut to open the bleeder valve. I bled the line according to directions on the wiki and saw a flame come on. At this point I was feeling quite proud so I tightened the bleeder and took the pan of oil I now had to the bathroom off the floor so the kitties would not think it was water. Before I even made it to the bathroom, the furnace shut off. Somewhere in my mind I could hear someone laughing.. or so it seemed that way. So I swallowed the pride I had a few seconds ago and went back. I reset the system and it did not fire. At this point I was thinking "crap I got the wrong oil"…
After thinking about my potential screw up, I decided to bleed the line again. Figured if it worked once, it surely has to work again. So I put my little pan down and loosened the bleeder valve. Reset the furnace and it started spitting foamy oil (like it still had air in the line). So I just sat there with my ratchet waiting for the fuel to stop being foamy. My pan was getting close to fuel then all of a sudden, the fuel changed from yellow to pink. It dawned on me at that point that the previous tennants had fuel oil and I had kerosene. The fire from the electric fired pilot kicked in and I had a solid stream of pink. I closed the bleeder valve and the furnace is still running as I type this. 
I guess I can add fuel oil furnace bleeder to my resume.

Researchers found today that people are actually born “fat” already. British researches found a DNA marker for us fatties that show we are predisposed to being fat. Now I have an excuse to tell everyone for the weight. Seriously though, some people have a serious problem with weight and a good portion, myself included, can blame a sendentary lifestyle and lack of excercise. Its not like I eat bad, I just do not get enough activity to go along with my eating. 
Yes this research gives people a reason to being fat but to be honest there is a huge difference to being fat and obsurdly overweight. The gene causes people to be “fatter” than the norm but who really decides what normal is. Maybe that little extra pudge is normal for them. Humans strive to be different and scorn any of those that are different.
I am glad that a few people take an effort to help those who have been beaten down by society mentally and help them. For those of us who just live a sendentary lifestyles and love to play video games, its a good thing Nintendo invented the Wii. They just need to make them more available. Not many people know about a game for the PS2 called Kinetics either. It uses there Eyetoy to see your movements and has a workout program you can use.

(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...It has always perplexed me that Christians never called “God” by his/her/its name. They just say “God”. Looking at the other religions, you see people using Allah, Buddha, etc. Finally to the point of extreme perplexity, I decided to find out what christians call there god. Some call him “Jesus” and some call him “Jehovah”. Well its commonly accepted amongst Christians that Jesus is actually the son of “God” so that left me with Jehovah. Which clicked in my mind with a sub-christian faith called “Jehovah’s Witnesses”. Why do they call god by his “real” name and not the others. Well, again, did some further research only to find that in Hebrew, they really dont pronouce “his” name and commonly use “HaShem” (”The Name”) has Gods name. Well thats dumb. Why can every other religion say there gods name and not christians? Do they feel there god is more important and speaking the name of there god will bring wrath upon them? I found this dumb and empty minded. If “God” is here for the people, why can’t you speak his name? Whats the point of having a name if you cannot speak it. Well the early christians tried and came up with “Yahweh” as the ‘name of god’ and many people accepted it as a proper translation. So why do people use Jehovah instead of Yahweh? So I jumped over to one of my favorite sites and found the answer.
“The first English translators to transcribe God’s name into English had no reason to believe that the vowel points of “יְהֹוָה” might be incorrect, so they transcribed “יְהֹוָה” into English just as it was written.
[e.g. Iehouah in 1530 A.D. and Iehovah in 1611 A.D. and Jehovah in 1769 A.D.]
The transcription Iehouah was used in the 16th century by many authors, both Roman Catholic and Protestant.
Iehouah [3] is the first English transcription of God’s name and first appeared in an English Bible in Tyndale’s translation of the Pentateuch (1530). Iehouah is found in all English Protestant versions of the 16th century except that of Coverdale (1535). In the year 1530 A.D. the English letter “u”, when being used as a consonant, was pronounced like the English letter “v” is pronounced today.
IEHOVAH[4][in all capital letters] is the English transcription of the Biblical Hebrew name יְהֹוָה in the King James Bible of 1611 A.D., where it occurs four times.
JEHOVAH [in all capital letters] is found four times in an 18th century revision of the King James Bible of 1611 A.D.”

Please stop abusing “god” and start using “him/her/it” all the time instead of when you need “him/her/it”.
Damn religious fanaticals who blame “God” for everything in there life. Its called FREE WILL for a reason. The only person to blame is YOURSELF.
Now grow up.

I tried throwing Wendy’s in here and there but it just isnt good enough. So I happen to pass a Roy Rogers and figured, wtf. So now i’m happy and my mouth is happy. The roast beef sandwich is excellent and the fries are much more superior than McD’s. So now I’m a Roy Rogers man. Ohhhh I need to mention there shakes are better than Dairy Queens. /drool.

Upon closer look, it looked liked the building was on fire and there appeared to be nobody around, so I took the next exit to find the building address and verify for sure that it was on fire. These buildings are brand new and off in the middle of nowhere, after finally finding a way into the building lots, I finally pull in to see if the building really is on fire. As soon as I entered the parking lot I noticed a man walking from the back of the building, at first I was thinking crap he probably set it and i’m gonna get hurt. Turns out as I turned my car towards him, he was a security guard. I roll down my window and tell him that I was driving…. Anyways, he starts running towards the building I pointed at and exclaimed “FUCK! Let me get my keys!” and he dissapeared into the building. Well I still wasnt convinced it was fire, but apparently he was super freaked out over me thinking it was. I drove around to the back of the building and saw the smoke coming up from the back and at that very moment, it dawned on me that it was cold outside. I just pulled a dumbass outta my hat. Almost felt like I need my sign that says I’m stupid. Anyways, the flickering I saw was the area street lighting that made it look like it was on fire but it wasnt. I drove around front and the security guy is standing out front huffing and puffing from running all around this building looking for fire. I told him exactly where it was and that I believe its just the environmental control systems. Oops. He looked bored, I just gave him something to do. Either way, he thanked me profusely and said he was gonna double check and off he went running into the building again. I left cause I felt like a total dumbass.
What did I learn, nothing. LOL.
