Recently I have started a couple of new blogs in an effort to be more self-employed.  If you have read some of my recent posts, then you know that this self-employment choice was made for me by my former employer when I got laid off a couple of weeks ago.  So once I had some extra time on my hands, I decided to re-visit the idea of Professional Blogging.  I found this article and followed most of it, but it is 2 years old so some of the information was outdated.  However, one thing that remains true is that the more links you have pointed back to your blog, the more relevant your site will be in Google searches (there is a science behind this which I am not going to dive into right now).

So let’s do this: When I am done typing this article, I am going to post it on my Twitter and Facebook accounts, and what I want to do is add your blog URL to my blogroll, in exchange for you adding mine to yours.  I hope some of you have multiple blogs, because I do, LOL.  I currently have 4 blogs that I want to basically kick-start with new links to and from the site:

The blog themes are:

• Ubuntu
• Christian Rock Music
• World of Warcraft
• My personal blog, this one that I am posting on now.

If you have any blogs that relate or even semi-relate to these topics, let’s trade links.  Even if your personal blog isn’t about the same subjects that mine is, I will still link to you from at least this blog because it is more of an overall topic blog anyway.

I look forward to seeing the replies to this topic.

The interview went very well and I am excited to see their follow-up with me.  The position is for a Supervisor of their Blackberry HelpDesk agents, something very similar to what I have been doing for the past 3 years with CSC.

Hopefully I will hear something later this week or next week from them, and obtain a 2nd interview.

God will provide, of that I have no doubt.  And I am somewhat morbidly curious about what direction He is going to take me now also.  I wish it hadn’t happened quite like this, but you have to roll with the punches, right?  Hey, at least now I don’t have to wear shoes for a while.

I’ll close this post with a quote from someone I have watched since I was very young;

“It’s not about how hard you get hit, it’s about how hard you CAN get hit and keep moving forward.  Get up…”  -Rocky Balboa

The trip has been very fun.  I will be uploading photos, some here and some on my Photo-Reflect site, in a couple of days.  Watch for them.

Trip to Hawaii, Final is a post from: Liberate Te Ex Inferis

Yesterday we went on a helicopter ride with the company Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours, and that was probably the most fun I have had since we’ve been here.  We flew all over the Kauai Island and saw many waterfalls and canyons on the island.  Our pilot’s name was Dean and he was quite informative of the historic details of the island.

Last night we went to a Luau at Smith’s Tropical Paradise.  They had many varieties of birds and plants at this wildlife preservation location, and they served great food.  At the end of the night, they finished off with a show of Hula dancers from Hawaii with some traditional Chinese, Japanese, Tahitian, Samoan, and New Zea-land dances mixed in.

Today we go to a 1-hour Time Share “information gathering” session where they will try and sell us a time share.  It’s doubtful we will get anything… it is nice here, but the prices on everything around the hotel are so expensive, it almost makes it not worth it.
