So, thanks to my lovely boyfriend and his little brother, I got back into gaming this past weekend. Not that I ever really left it, but after my PS2 was pawned (don’t ask) some years ago, I never really got back into the game world and the closest thing I came across to as a fun “game” was Roller Coaster Tycoon and The Movies for my PC.

Anyways, so on Sunday I got to play games like Spyro, Final Fantasy VII – IX for the PS One and even Mortal Kombat (the original!) for the Sega Genesis.

My gawd was I bored in ten seconds flat!

Of course at the time, these games were probably the highlight of all children on either their birthday or Christmas Morning. Oh-ing and Aw-ing as these totally out of this world graphics came to play on TV screens every where, but with how much we have advanced in the gaming world (especially graphics), it was really hard to appreciate these classic games. The graphics were HORRIBLE and the music just as annoying. The loading time in between cut-scenes and levels was just TOO long for my comfort, I thought I was hitting up Dial up all over again.

Not only that, but I had to blow on the cartridge and system for the Genesis about 18 times before the game would work. I’m sure all of you older then 17 can remember those good ole times!

The only game that I can proudly say I love till this day and can beat over 100 times in one day and live with the crappy looking graphics is Super Mario Bros. for the Super Nintendo.

Thank God for Mario and 2D done right! Haha.

Hello folks, sorry for the delay in a blog post. As usual life has me VERY busy. So much stress has been put on me these past two months, that I feel I will have more then my fair share of gray hairs before I turn 30! Yes, that is very sad, but its how I feel right now.

Anywho, to start this blog off. I got a new job! Yup, no more SurpassHosting, although I still do love them to death and will ALWAYS use their web hosting services. I now work for an internet marketing and web design company named OnTarget Web Solutions. I’m really learning a lot more about the web design industry and dipping more into marketing and SEO. It’s a great job and I even get my own office, which isn’t half bad! Hopefully with this new job, I’ll be able to save up for college and my big move to NYC in the future. Can’t wait!

Talking about moving, I’m REALLY thinking about moving out on my own. Unfortunately, my mother and I are arguing more and more everyday more so then speaking normally and it is taking a toll on me as well as her. I think that it might be time for me to move out and leave the nest. I just want to make sure that she is in a stable living place and can manage on her own. I’m actually trying to push her to either live in Tallahasse where one of her best friends lives or back in my hometown of MA. I KNOW for a fact she HATES MA so I’m hoping Tally will be the alternative and ultimate choice. At least she wouldn’t be too far away from me, only 4 hours! Just something we really need to sit down and talk about over a nice dinner…hmm…idea!

So recently I’ve been a little obsessed with sites Zazzle.com and Cafepress.com. I opened up two shops with them, but currently am only working on the Zazzle one. It’s really fun and hopefully in the near future I can be making some little cash on the side with it.

For now, I’m not going to design anything over the top for it, since I want to keep my original designs…well…original and feel like it could be stolen at any time on those types of websites. Ah well, its fun creating little gifts ideas and t-shirts. Oh and the Keds Shoe designing is fun too! If anything Zazzle is really is easy to use and get hooked on. If you ever have the time, please be sure to visit my shop:
