hauntings of bad decisions past...

note to self... never get sucked into a business deal with a friend. even if it tickles your internal altruistic switch... don't do it. business with friends is a bad idea.. i knew this, but still now have a real world example. and it got wrecked.. and now i'm out almost a thousand dollars. and the worst part is that i'm not wealthy, so the loss of money really hurts. i knew from the beginning that i was going to lose a little money in the process, and deal with small payments over many months, but now what's left of the friendship is a wrecked scooter and lots of bad feelings. (the friend wrote us off right after the accident, good timing, huh?) yea, so now it's clean up time.. and it ain't pretty!

First time for everything....

never thought i would do it... i guess my procrastination skills have just graduated to a whole new level. here i am, the conservatively happy owner of the schmelorama blog. i will have to get used to communicating via the 'internets' to people i have never imagined....... whoa nelly! feels kinda weird.. like swimming in jello......
