MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/goingbigger

Well my friends finally conned me into a MySpace account. I bet you can’t guess, muahahaha, Goingbigger MySpace. I got my name. Secured and locked in I don’t know if anyone in MSN Spaces land also has a MySpace but I think the software is un friendly to use. So far I cannot remember how to install different sections of the site. It is designed mostly for networking and comments. It isnt about blogging or it is a pretty program to look at. They look like junk if you ask me and no where near the quality of MSN Space.

 

Hell we can run advertising on our MSN Spaces if we feel like it I don’t know about you but that is a nice bonus i like, hehehe. It is good for traffic to run feeds and submit your sites feed for traffic. Steady traffic from search engines because of blogging enables a site to envolve and grow into something intead of going stagnit and finally loosing readership.

 

blah, blah blah…hehehe….if you read my blog over there you will find more about my night. I went out with two of my smokin hot friends Kim, Christen. It was hella fun but I drank to much and now feel like garbage. We danced, shot darts, laughed and even bought pizza at QFC at then end the night. I had so much fun and the ladies were just smokin hot I have pics but i am not share’n. U peep’n at  my stash? I din it tink so.

 

Sorry life aint fair…oooo….what’s my buddy Chris just dropped by with beer. Now off to watch the Masters.

 

Peace out!!

what is up…

What is up with Spaces?

This day started out so well…

This day started out so well but now it is all jacked up. Having parents that completely hate each other is something not easily delt with. I drives me crazy when i even hear them attempt to communicate. Becuase there is no communication only bitchin and everything is jacked up. For some reason it seems that I am always in the middle of it. I hope the night goes better. I am meeting up with a gal to go watch a band so my spirits should be higher if a few. Anyhoo..just needed to get that out of my mind.

Θ Tribute to Thursday Θ

Gosh where to go with this entry…for some reason there isn’t a lot reeling in my brain but I will give it a go.

 

So my audio is now working. Decided to go with media player because it seemed to work on everyone’s site. Man-o-man was that easy and fast to do. Once everyone finds out how to do it, it will be hard to find sites with out. You know how hard it is too pick a song for a site? Well it was for me. My next song should be up soon and you can vote on the choices by clicking on my Music list. They won’t be on a schedule so they may or may not stay.

 

Tomorrow morning I leave for Roseburg, Oregon for my mom’s b-day! They whole family will be there with some old time friends. My family gets a little crazy sometimes but we are "The Fun Family". My brother left last night and got in around 2am. I guess Aiden slept the whole way and didnt mind the road trip! Bryan forgot his camera so I just hope I remember mine and don’t leave it. Ok, onto a new topic.

 

Israel has pulled out of Gaza. Now the Palestinian militants groups like Hamas are claiming it’s a victory and the pull is due to their armed resistance and had nothing to do with diplomatic negotiations. Hamas also said it won’t stop its armed resistance until all the land is clear this includes the West Bank. How could this be possible, the Israeli military has dominated the region since the 60′s when they started the occupation.

 

It is just amazing that radicals think that violence is the way to solve your differences. I believe we are a product of our parents and environment. So when I was learning how to share and play nice they were learning radical ideas that the west is bad and needs to be "punished" and this "punishment" should come in the form of mass killing of the innocent. Wow what a concept. I wish I learned that instead, YEA RIGHT! Enough ranting lets get serious.

 

This pull out will have a significant influence within the region. With Israel being hated by most of the Islamic community to it show a huge sign of peace or willing to sacrifice for the great good. These militant groups don’t see it as a act of good faith but rather a reason to continue fighting. The result of continuing to fight is that the never ends. It will keep going for generations. Well this good faith will make Israel the "good guy" in the global political environment especially with UN Security Council.

 

As I have said in previous entries, the tactics these militant groups use to influence there target audience is not working and will continue to make their cause look very badly. The natural international pressures will make happen. Just like in business, if you are providing a poor product or service your target market goes somewhere else. There recruitment will crumble and the whole world will look down upon them because they are seeing that the global community disapproves.

 

So there is hope on the horizon to have a global peace, well no war at least. Being the example is a good move for Israel. It is a decesion that has some immediate side effects on Israeli people but the long term benefits for their country is huge.

 

Other countries have taken similiar steps to change from the old ways to the modern ways like Lebanon and Syria. The global environment is not just changing in the political relm but also in the business sector.

 

China is now making so business moves to improve its business posistion in the global business environment. Taking over bid of Unocal did have some problems with it. Yes, i know they were offering the Unocal shareholders alot more money the Chevron. Chevron did their research before embarking on a bid. They went step by step to make sure that they had all the documents and followed the exact US proceedure and China did not. The shareholders expect another company to have their business in order before approaching such a deal.

 

If you have a crappy business plan are investors going to give money? If you have a crappy proposal wiil your boss implement your idea?

 

Probaly not, you just can’t purchase a public company because you have the money. It needs to be a strategicly motivated for the investors. If you have money but don;t know how to manage it, it will all soon be gone because you are frivolous.

 

There are countless examples of bad and even good decesions, god knows, some of mine haven’t been the best. Until we chat again this is Toby signing off…

One of those weeks

So far the week looks eventful to say the least. I go through some times that are so busy i wish i could slow them down but when times are slow look for them to be busy. Does anyone else go through these changes on daily basis or sometimes hourly? Am i getting anxiety? Damn, i wonder sometimes if there is something wrong. Or, this just life? I would put my money on its just life.

 

But that is the beauty and amazement of life itself. Its ever changing, multi facisted and dynamic. To be a player, not playa, in the game of life one has to be adaptable and highly skilled to really succeed (success is messured different by all and i really dont want to hit that topic ).  There is so much in this world I dont understand…teh best I can do is try to understand my own actions.

 

As the journey continues for me in my game of life, I like to wonder what the future will bring. Im getting close to thirty but it makes me excited more than anything. What is going to happen, how will my life be, what are the changes i will experience and who will i meet that influences these things? Those are some of the questions only time will answer. That gives me so hope for all our futures.

 

Be patient, have "some" tolerance, see the sites, learn and live in every moment you experience. That it what i am going to try and do tomorrow and if make it i will do it the next…I wonder what will happen?

Play-by-Play Action of Toby’s Sunday

So far Sunday has been pretty fun. I woke and jumped online and worked for a bit while watching Nascar, it was a road course today. Tony Stewart Home Depotcar kicked super booty. He was owning the course, the restarts and pitting  strategy. It was some impressive driving.

 

Made myself some coffee and checked email, site comments, made responses then I started editing BARE’s website some more. That site is now averaging 310 per day this month with are top 3 hits days totalling around 1800 hits. In 10 months we have gone from 600 hits per month to almost 8k. If we keep pace with this months daily average our total should be about 8300. That would be awesome and quite an achievement of our small Marysville office

 

Now am writing this entry watching the PGA the fourth and final day Everyone is not doing to well except Steve Elkington. It seems the field is crapping out on the front 9. That could all change on the back though. Maybe its just going to take 9 holes for them. Wait as we speak, Tiger, Love and Elkington have now started to do something. They are heading the back nine

Here’s To Another Day

Last night was fun, uneventful which is a good thing. Today I am just being a bum around my place but i may get out and take a walk down town on the water. A nice bowl of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream sounds so good especially since it is like 80+ here. I wonder what flavor I will choose? It should be a good day to take a few pictures as well. The sunset should be nice tonight and I wonder if I will be able to catch a little left overs from the meteor shower? I didnt get to see it which disappoints me but you cant catch all the celestrial events

 

Right now i am watching golf while I write this piece, i know what you must be saying, golf? Why would anyone watch golf? It is actually pretty fun to watch…not terribly exciting but relaxing and enjoyable. My laundry needs to hurry up and dry. It is making my apartment really hot. The weather doesnt help it either, I’m not complaining though. This summer the weather has been great here and I love living in Kirkland!

 

This town is so cool for people around my age. There is always people hanging out on the many beaches of Lake Washington, walking around town and just hanging out in one of the many drinking establishments. It is action packed day in day out through the summer, now, winter is a little different. It gets really quite and the streets are not busy and no one hangs out on the beach I wonder why, beach in a Washington winter Not too warm.

 

Thursday night I went to my brothers and sister-in-laws house for dinner. Damn my brother can cook I havent eaten that good in awhile, I hate cooking for myself. My nephew, Aiden, is getting so big so fast! I love him to death! We were doing a little wrastlin, well as much as i could. He was taking me out through, for 9 months he is really strong. He has muscle definition. My brother and I are like: what the heck! After dinner we sat in the living room and just talked for a few hours. It was very enjoyable.

 

Living down in Kirkland I dont get to see Bryan, Michelle & Aiden as often as I would like but I do cherish the time we do spend together. I am totally mr picture when over there and by the time Aiden is 10 we are going to have a zillion picture of him. He will then call us dorks and we will all laugh

 

I so remember calling my parents dorks and not wanting my friends to see me with them. But now I love the time we spend together and sometimes wish we had more. I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend and until we chat again this is Toby signing off…
