Hey Everyone!

It's that time again! I get to spend some hard earned money on a much needed relaxing vacation! On Monday, I will be taking off on my venture to the Northwest Territories!

It's a 2 day bus trip... so I won't be there until Wednesday sometime. I'm really looking forward to the bus trip up there! I actually bought a Ukulele specifically for my trip so I don't go through Guitar Withdrawels. I'm going to drive everyone on the bus nuts!

I thought I should make this post to let you all know that I won't be around to answer your questions and such, so you will need to direct them to some of the other mods. SEO Dave will be taking over some of my tasks as well, so if you need anything you could always email him at… Read Full Post

This is by far my favorite time of the year. The weather is bearable. Fall is setting in... which means the trees will start turning orange and the roads will be covered in leaves; but most importantly, Halloween is here!

I'm not joking when I say I'm obsessed with this day. I've been dressing up ever since I was a kid. I think for two reasons. One: I LOVE horror movies. To actually dress up and pretend you're something scary or to pretend you're in a horror movies something I've always had fun with. Two: Doing face painting is a pretty cool form of art. I love doing it and have done it for years.

Most Halloweens I will have a couple different costumes lined up. This year I have something pretty special. It involves me dying my hair green. This… Read Full Post

    On August 26th, early in the morning... Just one block from REW Headquarters, one of the coolest, oldest buildings in Nanaimo was completely gutted by a fire. Today at lunch, SEO Dave and I drove by what was left of Nanaimo's E&N Railway Station only to see the entire left side of the roof completely caved in and charred.

    Just a few months ago I lived DIRECTLY across the street from that building and often hung out there while I waited for my girlfriend to get off her bus from school. I always thought the station was shut down and there was someone living in it, as we always heard music coming from the inside late at night... but according to recent articles released about the burning, the station was still operational.

    Things may change between now and November, but I am currently in the process of booking a bus/train trip to the Northwest Territories for a couple of weeks. I have been down the West Coast of the United States and even all the way to England, but I have never ever been in another province or Territory in Canada.
   
    November, that will all change as I plan to literally go to the Great White North. My sister, Lina, lives up there with her husband and my Niece and Nephew. It will be good to go up there and visit with them all.
   
    It should be interesting going somewhere where last year, in November, it was -27. I've always said I liked the cold... but I have a feeling I don't know what I'm getting myself into. Either way, it's going… Read Full Post

    Last night while surfing the web, I came across this cool article on the lesser known features of Facebook. Here's 1 of 7.

"1. Feed tweaks: Dial it up. Did you know the Friends' feed you see on the Facebook home page doesn't contain every little piece of information about what people are doing on the network? While everyone can tweak what they want published to the news feed, you too have control of what you see others doing. To adjust the feed, there's a handy set of 10 sliders that control the frequency of each story type, and how often it shows up. There's also an option underneath the sliders to hand-pick which friends you want to see more or less of. You can access this control panel by clicking the Preferences link on the news feed."

What you need to do is:

1. Log into Facebook.

2. On the left side of the "Home" page, there is a nav bar right under the search box. In there somewhere should be a selection titled "Notes." (You may need to click on the more arrow)

3. After you've clicked on Notes, look under the "Profile" link on the very top nav. Click "My Notes."

4. On the right, under "Notes Settings," click on "Import a blog."

It will give you a box to place the RSS or Blog URL in and click "Start Importing"

There you go! Read Full Post

    I have come to the conclusion that Social Networking is probably the most addictive thing since, well, Crack. It's ridiculous how much time I spend doing it. I go home from work and the first thing I do is check my Facebook or MySpace.

    At the moment, I still like MySpace a lot more than facebook. The reason is pretty much MySpace Music. I think it would do wonders for Facebook if they made it possible to upload your own tunes have profiles for bands with their songs. It would give you a chance to rub how you're doing musically in the faces of all those jerks who made fun of you in highschool!
   
    I have connected with people I thought I would never see again! It's really great to see how they are all doing. It's even helped me make plans… Read Full Post

    With the recent death of my dad, I have been doing what every other person who grieves does. Thinking of ways to improve my life. This is a check list I have come up with of things I want to accomplish this summer. I feel making something like this will help me sort out things a little bit. So here goes.

Set up a small recording studio.

This is something that I have been wanting to do for a really long time. Last year I started recording my own music and I feel it would be a lot more fun to record other people as well as myself with some better equipment. So, my plan is to buy the necessary equipment to do this.

(To hear music I have already recorded, check out: http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/seo-nick/nicks-music.html)
