I really wish I could stick to blogging, but I'm not particularly fond of writing about things involving people I know. It's not really my position to talk about them, and even if they wouldn't care it's not really something I'd necessarily feel like sharing in a potentially public manner. I think this is why I've had such a hard time motivating myself to write; my stories are about people for a change. It has been a nice change of pace for me personally, but it isn't so good for my blog. Luckily, I sketched a new idea for a blog theme and am nearly done setting up my WordPress dummy install so I can begin crafting my new theme. This one never really got finished, it didn't get the minimalist feel and there wasn't a lot of consistency to the design. I'm bringing back the sidebar in the new ...

My friends are all mindless action junkies, so that was a pretty crazy experience. The writing is intentionally cheesy, but I see it as a kind of
What if Smokin' Aces was good.

It's coming up on a year since I got a domain for the site and actually started using a real version of WordPress. My theme has gone through many small edits, but everything remained more or less the same. I don't really like the theme, I'm caught somewhere between wanting to use someone else's theme but I don't like having things on my site not done by me. I'm going to try doing a complete overhaul on the header and bottom bar and try out some new stuff with my
Lifestream. I've kept the same sort of styling for the posts and meta since what I had on my Blogsome blog, and I like that, so I don't think I'll change it. The rest of the theme needs some real flare (and I don't mean just some Web 2.0 gloss or something) as the design never really became what ...
