| I signed up for socialspark! |
| 2008-05-09 10:47:00 |
My blog has continued to grow over the past few months, and I'm hoping to make things bigger and better in the months to come. Right now I'm out of classes for the semester, so I have the next 3 months to focus on writing and traveling without having to worry about what paper or test I have due next week.This summer I'm hoping to make it out to AnimeNext in Newark, NJ, and spend a few days over in Brooklyn, NY. During this time I'm hoping to make it out to some of the local cheese shops in the Manhattan area (Artisanal, etc), and see all the stupid touristy sights, with my local friends. Kind of sad that I've been up there nearly 3 times now, and I still haven't really seen the city.**Just went and ate at House of Blues in the Quarter. Their ceasar salad w/ blackened chicken is to DIE ...

| Got Smorty? |
| 2008-04-15 10:44:00 |
This blog's updates are definitely picking up! (About time too! I've been totally slacking the past few months.) But now that I've joined this new great site called Smorty, I should be updating fairly reguarily.It's a service that connects advertisers with bloggers, and makes it easier for them to receive blog advertising. Advertising on blogs is a new trend in the marketing industry that has been growing in leaps and bounds in the past few years. I remember that I thought people were crazy when they told me that they get paid for blogging?And now everybody is getting money to blog? (Where was I at?)I highly recommend joining Smorty if you're looking to find advertisers for your blog, and/or make a living blogging!Just think! Wouldn't it be cool to be an on-the-road travel blogger! And now...

| My Top 3 Rollercoaster Rides at Walt Disney World... |
| 2008-04-15 10:31:00 |
1) Test Track, Future World, EpcotI know for a lot of thrill seekers out there that Test Track isn't nearly as fast, nor does it go upside down or invert. However, this ride goes faster than any of the other rides at Disney. Clocking speeds of up to 60mph when you're in the outside break away.And it has a single rider line which makes it a lot easier to ride multiple times, or when the park is busy.2) Spash Mountain, Frontier Land, Magic KingdomI used to avoid this ride like the plague when I was a kid, but now I enjoy it more than ever! The story line is infectious and on a hot day it's nice to climb into the log, and get a little wet. Or soaked if you're sitting in the wrong/right spot. This ride has recently gone under referb to make the line move ...

Going to the gun range and popping off a few rounds with my Black Pistol Grip, Mossberg 500 .12 Gauge! And if you're ever in the New Orleans Metro Area you should go to Bayou Dragon Gun Range & Paintball Field at 7625 Barataria Blvd., Marrero, LA 70072! (Yes, they have their own paintball field!)It's a great range, with low fees, friendly staff, and lots of space in your stall. You can also choose to bring your own targets, and you can rent firearms already available on the premises. But I highly recommend that you bring your own gear before attending any range. And the best place I've found for holsters, conceal carry pouches, and other survival/tactical gear is LA Police Gear. Don't believe me? Just look at this sweet safariland holster!Oh, and don't forget to get your Blackhawk ...

| Fly the Best with JetBlue! |
| 2008-03-09 16:36:00 |
In the past four years, I’ve flown all over the US, but Jetblue has had the best prices and service, every time! Boasting a line of new Boeing Jets, in-flight snacks like Terra Chips, and 32 channels of DirectTV (including one that tracks your flights progress). JetBlue is constantly making their competitors sweat!An innovator in the airline industry, they continue to amaze their customers by prefering to offering NON-STOP flights. Unlike the majority of airlines on the market today that are all about making their customers suffer through layovers! Currently their service is limited to large US airports, but I feel JetBlue will expand the industry. And other airlines will simply have to keep up, or eat their jet fumes....
