Stay tuned and check out the Facebook Page’s Reboost that is already in place.

See you in two weeks.

I am trying out a new project called Japanese Ghost.  Allow me to explain.

A couple of years ago I wanted to help my brother start a blog.  It was going to consist of stuff he liked.

It didn’t quite work.  Why? He wasn’t that interested in blogging.

I Have Been Really Busy

As you all know, I have been really busy and will be so for the next 2 1/2 months.

Though I am busy I have decided to try and revive Japanese Ghost.

Why?

Because I like blogging and Japanese Ghost does not require that much attention.

If you would like to check it out then please go to Japanese Ghost!

I went into Kohl’s last week and found a pair of shoes that I really wanted.  They were 61 dollars.

I heard about a store wide sale that they have on Saturday.  I asked about it:

I thought to myself, “Even if I save 15% off the shoes, I will save on the tax.

I returned on Saturday and went to grab my size.  One pair left.  Wait, what’s this!?  The shoes were now 64 dollars.  Ugh! :-x

Oh well, I’ll at least get 15% off.  The shoes rang up to about 67 dollars, something like that.

What?  Wait!  Why didn’t I save any money?

Because there wasn’t really a sale.

The clerk informed me that the shoes were originally 90 dollars.

Why Does Kohl’s Lie about Sales?

Certain people love a good sale.  There is nothing wrong with being frugal.  The problem is when a company takes advantage of that.

Walk through Kohl’s and you will see that just about every item in the store has been marked down.

Everything is always on sale!

If everything is always on sale, then this means that nothing is ever on sale.

I believe that Kohl’s is just trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

I like Kohl’s merchandise but I hate their tactics.

Kohl’s, please stop with the fake sales.

Google believes that Valentine’s Day should be celebrated by everybody who is in love.  There is a buzz on the interwebs today that Google is supporting Gay marriage.

Look at the photo above and you will see two men holding hands.  When I see this photo I don’t think gay marriage.  I see the ultimate duo hosting the Oscars!

Conan O’Brien and George Lopez!

I may be right or I may be wrong about my assumption.

Google Supports Intereverything Marriage

• Astronaut and Alien Squid
• Princess and Frog
• Dog and Cat
• Nerd and dark skinned person (trying to stay politically correct and failing miserably)
• Cookie and Milk (my favorite)

What do you think is the best combo on this love felt day?

Why Did I Lose Them?

I don’t know for sure.  Here are a few possibilities:

• New Host: I changed from justhost.com to dreamhost.com.  Just Host was causing my site to load extremely slow.  I don’t know about you, but I have experienced a faster site with Dream Host.  I don’t believe that changing hosts to be my issue.
• New Plugin: I installed Livefyre comments.  I haven’t noticed my site slowing down with this commenting system.  They have worked out a few bugs and made improvements.  I am highly satisfied with them, so I am ruling them out.
• Blogging Break: I am going to be away from my home base for nearly half a year, so this has caused me to take a unplanned break from blogging.  I would say this is the main reason I lost my Google Site Links IF I had been gone for 6 months.  I was gone for only 3 weeks and had a guest blog in that time frame.

I Lost My Google Site Links But Does it Really Matter?

Nope!  Online reputation is a facade.  It doesn’t matter.  What does matter?

• Community: I blog for community.  You guys are pretty merciful and still come back to leave comments even if I haven’t been here for a while.
• Traffic: This is a distant second.  Who doesn’t watch their traffic to some extent?  My stats have remained the same and at times improved since taking a break.  Take a look:

I would like to see my Google Site Links come back but if they don’t I really don’t care, so long as you guys keep coming back.
