So I've already said that I'm trying my hand at freelance writing. It's been a difficult road so far. I just started in April and since then, while I have seriously grown to love written journalism, I realize that it will be hard to make a career out of this. It's difficult to be a freelancer, but I do love the excitement that revolves around it. It really is exciting.
I've learned a lot about myself for instance, I like being able to find myself on Google. Before you could only find anything about me by misspelling my first name. Now I have a whole Google page to myself (watch as the smile creeps across my face). I also love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I learn that one of my articles has been published.
While I haven't made that much money from this endeavor, I still think I have a long way to go and a lot more to do.
Wish me luck!

Konami Coding Like a Boss!
I am a really dumb gamer. Okay so I'm not that much of a gamer but I can appreciate a damn good video game when I see/play one. I have yet to play Halo 3 however (sad face).
Anywho, during a recent jaunt through cracked.com (if you've never read any of their articles you should definitely go check them out now), I learned why I was always getting my ass hopelessly kicked in certain video games. The secret is the Konami Code.
Apparently, a game developer got frustrated with his game and decided to create a code that could help him out. He accidentally forgot about it and the code went into production hidden in the game. Eventually people figured it out and the code became a pop culture hit. Various websites have used the code to hide truly awesome Easter Eggs. So upon discovering this code, I decided to use this code on every website. I haven't come across much but it's still fun. I am now going to share this lovely piece of intel with you.
Go to a website and press the following: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A.
To clarify that's the up arrow twice, down arrow twice, left arrow, right arrow, left arrown, right arrow, b button, a button.
Do it and lemme know what you find.

I'M BACK!
I've been away and I'm sorry about that. But you'll be glad to know that the time away from my blog was spent well.
I've taken the time to figure out some things in my life. I've picked a career path and something to do in the meantime. You are looking at the mad rantings of a future journalist. I figured I write enough as is anyway so I might as well put my (cough) talents to good use.
While I'm on my way to journalism, I've decided to experiment and write from now. I am now a published writer for the Yahoo Contributor Network (4 articles published with lots more to go!) and I wrote some articles for Her Campus Cornell. So I've got a lot to update you on in the future so I'll keep you in the loop on how it all goes.
To infinity and...wait is that line copyrighted?
