It’s the end of another long night. It’s actually 4:18am right now and I’m just now wrapping up my Monday. I kind of had to redeem myself from earlier today because I spent nearly the ‘entire’ day stuck on a technical issue with one of my websites. Thus, the reason I don’t have a passion for anything IT (Information Technology). Things are beautiful when they work…but when they don’t, I feel like breaking stuff! But, the good news is that I got it taken care of. Instead of going the manual route, I had to break-down and buy a plugin to do all of the dirty work for me. That’s what I get for being cheap, I guess. But enough about technical stuff for now.
I’ve been thinking all day today (in between curse words spewed at my computer screen) about how to take this blog to the next level. To be honest, I’m starting to get bored with it. And I think, if I was a reader, I’d be a bit bored of reading it too. I’ve been keeping this journal for just over 2 years. And it’s time to kick things up a notch to make it more enticing to read and as important, more enticing for me to want to contribute.

Yo! So I turned Thirty today. And I’m loving it. Thank God for the privilege to see another birthday! And that is for shizzle. Statisically, I think I was supposed to be dead or in jail like 5 years ago or earlier. That’s both funny and not funny at the same time.

So, I’ve stopped chasing ‘skinny’ deals a few months ago. But when they come right to me, I can’t help but to see if I can do something with them with little effort. Perhaps that’s still a downfall of mine, that I must learn to overcome…I could be blind to the big-deals when I even give a small-deal a look for a few moments.

I’ve got a quick tip this evening that I figured I’d share. This tip isn’t so much related to real estate but it can come in handy as I’ve been using it for quite some time. It’s called “ScrapBook” and it’s a Firefox add-in. With this add-in, you can save a series of webpages for off-line viewing. You may be saying to yourself, “what’s the big deal, I can do that already”. Well, while it’s true that with most web browsers you can download a page for later viewing. With this add-on you can download an entire website for later viewing. And while viewing the off-line version, you wouldn’t notice that it wasn’t live.

It’s another Sunday and I’m a bit frustrated.? I have an assistant that is avoiding my calls and a lawyer who is under-delivering.

I indeed decided to place an advertisement in the 2009/2010 Yellow Pages.? Although I believe print advertising is a dying medium, I’m following my gut on this one.? Deep-down, I really believe that the homeowner who is at risk of being foreclosed on may turn to the Yellow Pages to find who to call.? This would be especially true, if that homeowner is older and is more used to using a print directory vs. the internet.? The older homeowner will most likely have more equity in their house; see how this makes sense in my head?? You should.? And the main incentive is that my ad will be the only one in the Real Estate section about foreclosure prevention…boo-yhaw!
