I wasn’t planning on writing this, but after all the news about Steve Jobs, I felt something.

Everyone knows I have the biggest sore spot for “death”. I accept that it happens but I don’t believe in it. It’s a terrible, tragic thing. This unfortunate event is all over the internet and blowing up my news feeds. I may not be an Apple addict, but there are plenty out there who have been touched by his innovations. If you don’t own, then you’ve definitely used an Apple product at some point in your life.

Normally I have my homepage set to iGoogle, but I had a hunch. I went to Google’s homepage.

Through all the Apple vs. Android. All the negative things I may feel for Apple, we’re all still good at heart. That may be my mistake for believing, but I have faith in mankind. We can put aside all our “business” and acknowledge, pay respects to someone who changed the world.

Yes, I don’t really like Apple, but that’s not to say it can be a great product for what you’re doing. It has a lot of capabilities, but I just don’t think it’s necessary to shell out so much money when your needs are only a minute fraction of what it has to offer…keeping the thought of Apple users being a cult aside.

I am a PC, but I am still Macintosh literate.

I want to try something new. I’m thinking about a new domain name. My brother is not being much of a help as he won’t even tell me if he wants to renew his domain. “I don’t care,” was his response. I’m just slightly annoyed right now. But I wanted to merge a few things and streamline my online shenanigans.

Where do I begin? Kuro-Shiro has been around for a while and it’s been my little net. At the same time, that was more generated in my Japan Addict phase and doesn’t reflect me as much now (plus, no one can remember the name.) Where do I go?

I’m not sure how hard it will be to switch things over to a new domain or where I even want to go. My whole hosting thing expires this year too (bummer) so it’s time to think some things out. What’s in a name?

I haven’t done much with the site, but webmail is Google based, which is super sweet. All the Gmail I want Smile

There’s been a lot of spark lately too. Trying to get back into the flow of what I used to do, a lot of people have been doing a photo thing. Ex. Project 365. Yinga is so inspirational; just reading the things in her life make me either jealous of her or just feel bad that I’m nowhere near that. But there’s this 30-day challenge that some girls in Omega have been doing and so I want to. For a while now. Probably happened somewhere after stormtrooper 365 (LOVE Stéfan’s work, btw) and Jamie’s photo a day gig.

School, for just starting, is kind of rough. I’m having a hard time transitioning and actually being motivated to do anything. Things I should be doing vs. the things I rather be doing. There’s a lot going on in my head, and I would love to just have some more time. I could go on for days, but who needs that.

Little secret: in my less than chipper moods, I get some really outrageous ideas. I was feeling a little more towards miserable the other day and was looking into a new toy…a macbook. Don’t judge. I have this tendency to take forever to make a decision, but as soon as I do, I’m so set where I can’t let myself change that thought. I have been so Anti-Mac my entire life, but it’s still a new toy.

There’s so much I should be doing.
