hey bloggers;
This is going to be another one of those slightly longer blogs that i randomly do. I know i haven’t posted any more since i left on my sitka trip, but what can i say, i’ve been hard working, sick, and well now just now really catching up on everything, life included.
Well, after i got back from sitka, and yes the flight and ferry back went well, me and sabrina moved to her parent’s other house. We have been living here since then. However, the house we were looking at, we found out was built to alaskan housing standards, so maybe we can apply for the loan after all, but I’m going to be honest and it doesn’t look like we will get it. I just don’t have to much hope for it.
ANyways after i got back, we took the kids at the school here, in total 13 kids, swimming in craig. So that was a 1.5 hour drive there and 1.5 hour drive back from craig with no less then five kids at a time. I’m not complaining, but i think sabrina should get extra hours when i help with her americorps work, and trust me, that was americorps. So that went well.
Then sunday i got sick. I’m not sure what happened but my throughout was feeling sore all day and then sunday night it just got very very bad. I am not sure why as i said, but think it’s just a simple cold. THis morning though, i woke up and couldn’t really breath threw my nose. It hurts, has been runny, and the doctor in craig just gave me some anti biotic to help it. So i guess we will see. I have to take 2 pills every day to times a day. But hey i got my TB test put in, physical done, and my headache meds re started. So I’m all ready for my anchorage trip in august.
WHen i get the travel information from sarah on that i’ll post it on my blog. Oh and another thing, i haven’t talked to my grate grandma or my grandma on my mom’s side of the family, but have emailed them and am now talking to them.
Final thing, i got my birth certificate today in the mail. This miens that I’m able to get an alaskan ID finally, so i can get an in state fishing license. So i hope to get a few more fish this year. I guess it would be a few fish in the first place, i know I’m living in alaska but haven’t gotten any fish:)
Well we got chris, sabrina’s nephew over here, so i think i should go to bed so i can get up in the morning with him and walk him to bible school. We know sabrina won’t be awake, smile.
Talk at you all, post your comments below.

hi bloggers;
So this is a writing to inform you all as to what has been going on here. Well, as you all should know i flew to sitka on monday and Sabrinai don’t think was happy. One thing though that she does do that i haven’t had a girl do in the past, is that she understands that it is going to open more doors for me. Anyways, I’m in sitka alaska, doing what i think was described as “career evaluations”, and “personal assessments”. ;I impressed them and they say i should be a rather easy case for them. Them is the vocational rehab department for southeast alaska.
Anyways so i’ve been doing that all week, and it’s not to to bad. I like the to people who are doing all the questions for me and they seem very nice. So yea, that’s about all that’s been going on. I have a headache, so if my writing ability is very low it’s because of that. I’ve had it since i left monday morning.
I will also be going to anchorage august 3rd threw the 14th. I will be doing some basic independent living skills, and also i get to attend the Midnight Sun Assistive Technology Conference and that should be rather fun. If your going to the MSATC, let me know, we might get to hang out. I’ll update you all as it comes closer.
Lets see what else. Oh yea and my macbook didn’t work at all for the first 2 days here. That sucked, and now I’m just writing this blog because it’s working for the time being. I don’t however, know how long this will last. Here’s tell at least tell i get back. There however are plans in the works to get me a new macbook, so lets hope that that goes threw and I’m not just getting my hopes up for nothing, oh, how that would be truly sad.
I also am attempting to get the iphone also. This would be nice as a PDA because as of the release of the iphone 3gs, being released this friday, it has voiceover on it. So that should be nice, and i hope that it’s a rather well interface to the iphone. To be honest though, it can’t be no worse then what it is now, “nothing!”.
Oh i almost forgot. Well, not really but i thought that sabrina was waiting for me to state to you all what happened. On monday morning, about 01:00AM, i asked sabrina to merry me. It wasn’t rather romantic, sheffie was throwing up, and we were not having nice things to say to sabrina’s mom for giving sheffield a ham bone, but still, i gave her the ring. I don’t know when i would have, it’s just the fact she kept asking what my gift is. If you want to see the ring, you can so Herenot a bad ring if you ask me. I’m not quite sure what her nephews think, devon didn’t really talk to me about it today when i called.
Anyways, i think this is all i have to say. Before you all ask, no we don’t have a date yet. I think were throwing around 4 dates, 12-07-09, 12-08-09 12-07-10 or 12-08-10. Those are the 4 dates were throwing around, and when i know what date we are going to choose, i’ll be sure to update this blog. This is an exciting event, and i hope that it all works out well.
anyways, that’s it for now.

hi bloggers;
So here’s what’s going on. I am traveling to Sitka next week, well this week whatever you want to call it. I leave the 15th and come back the 19th. I will be there for that week doing some testing and stuff to get me the ability to get some assistance with job placement in the state of alaska. So they are paying for my ferry trip, flight, hotel, and food so I’m not complaining. THis will however be the first time i have traveled 100% alone on a plain, so i hope all goes well. I will be with sheffield though so i guess i have to trust him a lot.
I will blog, or should blog when i get to the hotel monday night. Right now how it goes is i will go over with sabrina’s dad to ketchikan, find something to do for a few hours then go to the airport. This should be rather ok and i hope to be able to find my way to the hotel on monday night, shouldn’t be a problem, so i guess i’ll just update when i get there and let you all know how it’s going.
So here’s to safe travel, and well a fun week.

I wrote this because i was board. Please, let me know, in the comments, your thoughts. I know it might be dumb, but i thought, hell, i need some original content, so well, here you go. Comment please. Oh and something you should know, this was not the direction i was originally attempting to go with this little poem, i was going to make it go in a different direction, however, it came out like this. Is this how i feel about sabrina? No, it’s just something i came up with whilst sitting here thinking. I promise you all that i love sabrina, and this is not how i feel about her. I figured i should write that there before someone goes and runs to tell there friends and family that i don’t really want to be with sabrina, because, that, is, not, true.
Not the right one
She tells you that she loves you,
SHe tells you that she wants to,
Be with you for ever,
Yet your not sure you’ll ever,
want to commit.
be willing to submit.
Some don’t see it that way,
some may think your gay,
but you know that your not,
though you don’t know what you want,
You want to have fun,
and she’s Not the right one.
She’s always wanted a ring,
You’ve always tried to sing.
She’s always wanted a baby,
and you think that just maybe,
you could make it work,
yet you feel like a jerk,
because you want to have fun,
and you know she’s not the one.
You don’t like to see her cry,
though you really do really try.
your friends tell you it’s not the best,
and that you should really let it rest.
You say, i love you,
and you wonder if you do.
while you think of having fun,
and you know, she’s not the right one.

I always wondered, what are my other options for getting computer support. At times, people pay up to $100 an hour, and sometimes even more when they are looking to get there computer supported. Being someone who likes to help people get there computer working and such, and someone who at times makes a “Living” off assisting people with there computers i thought it would only be appropriate for me to look up online what the top 5 ways to get your computer supported were. I found the below article, and thought that there were a few things i could do to increase my customer base, and hey, i thought it was just written well to. And also, it does give you the consumer an idea for other places you can look for computer assistance.
Top Five Tips to Get Best Computer Support for Your PC ?
Author: Joshep John
Are you looking for expert computer technician for your precious PC? If yes, you must check out the following tips to get the best:
Tip 1:
Generally, people go for word of mouth and prefer to ask friends or family or local directory. With the Internet being the best available option, you need not go anywhere to take recommendations. Nowadays, online computer support is gaining wide popularity among computer enthusiasts. The only thing you require to do is to start searching on your favorite search engine. You may start with the keywords such as online PC help, instant computer help, troubleshooting PC errors, or PC optimization services etc.
Tip 2:
When you are going through the ads or websites, look for certifications such as A+ or MSCE. This ensures the expertise of the technicians and your computer’s quality treatment. Once you narrow down on a favorable computer support resource, research how much experience does the business hold and what kind of services it provides? Look in their advertising or on their website for this information.
Tip 3:
Ask if they will offer the computer repair help over phone or via the Internet. Make sure that you know the charges beforehand. See if they allow you to talk straight to the technician so that you can have better insight into your computer problems and their solutions. This will also give you a better feel for the company. Some technicians are extremely helpful, so you can ensure to have the best computer repair services. Never opt for the resources/websites which do not return phone calls or are rude, or too busy to attend you.
Tip 4:
You first require calling the company for online computer support. Judge the repair person that how he treats you on the phone. This will give you a better indication of how the services will go. There are some companies who send their computer repair technicians at your premises. However, they charge more on an account of personal services. Get someone who can fix it onsite.
Tip 5:
Always ask about the service prices before, such as when the time starts for the technician and if there is any registration charge and any other additional charges. Securing a flat rate for a specific task is considered to be the best option.

Credit Report - How Do Late Payments Affect My Credit Report And Score?
Author: Helen Hecker
Of course you don’t want to make any late payments on your credit cards or loans and affect your credit report and score unless you absolutely have to, but what happens if you’re unable to avoid it? It all depends on whether you’re 30, 60 or 90 days past due. If it’s only one late payment you may be able to dispute it and get it removed from your credit report but if it’s more than one that may be difficult to do. And it depends on whether it’s currently past due or long term past due, and other factors.
Understanding how FICO credit scoring works for late payments will help you avoid late payments and understand which late payments will show up for the long term and which payments won’t.
Put simply, FICO credit scores are used by credit card companies, loan and mortgage companies, utility and insurance companies etc., to predict how reliable you’ll be as a customer and how much they can trust you make the payments.
If you’re 30 days late on a payment it will affect your credit score only when it’s reported to the credit bureau. The same applies to 60-day late payments. However these are considered short term and may not cause any lasting damage to your scores. If this happens over and over then this will not be the case. Also a one time late payment of 30-60 days may never be reported to the credit reporting agency. You can avoid a lot of worry by finding out if the creditor reports a currently 30 or 60-day late payment or not. Many do not.
If you’re 90 days late it’s another matter. This can damage your credit report and score for seven years, unless you can get it removed. If it was in error or you had some special circumstances and your credit history has been good then it is worth a try by writing a letter to the credit report company. The three main credit bureaus are Experian, Equifax and Trans Union.
Credit card companies and other creditors look at 90-day or 120-day late payments as a red flag. They can no longer trust you to make your payments on time so your credit score will go down. Their purpose is to determine whether you’ll be able to make your payments on time or at least before 90 days have passed. It doesn’t matter if the payment was for $25 or $1000, they will look at it the same way.
Also sometimes late payments may cause a rise in the interest rates on your credit cards.
If you can avoid making any late payments you’ll dramatically improve the scores on your credit report. And if you haven’t gotten your copy of your personal, annual, free credit report online yet then get one now. Study it and then find out how your current creditors look at late payments. Call them up and find out if they report a 30 or 60-day late payment to the credit reporting agency.
Best of all find some emergency ways to completely avoid making any late payments. Try making your payments online a few days early to avoid payments getting lost in the mail. If at all possible find things you can sell or do some small part-time work from home and try to make a small emergency fund.
Do anything you can to avoid making a late payment. But if it happens, make it as soon a possible so it doesn’t go into a 90-day problem. Ninety days is the point where it’ll be difficult to turn things around and seriously affect your credit report and score and future borrowing opportunities. It’s best to spend a little time learning about credit reports, how you can fix or repair your credit report and scores now and how you can raise your credit scores fast. You may be doing some things you had no idea would cause your scores to drop.

May 26, 2009
it started for the time being.
Yes you red that right. My computer booted up last night, however, i figured I’d give it another night to “sleep” and see what it does from there. Well, I’m in fact online now, and working well with my computer now. I however kinda wish i could have bought a new computer, I know, but. well, erm, well, i guess a house is better for me then what a new computer is.
Anyways i guess that’s all i have to write for now.
have a good day bloggers.

hey bloggers;
It’s been a long time since i’ve written a blog. And trust me, a lot has surly happened around here. I’ll take a few moments of your life, and inform you as to what all has been going on. From the wanter and my MACBOOK having a fight, to buying a house. Creative i know, smile.
Well yesterday i was drinking some water and i had it to the left of my macbook. That’s the norm for me, so i didn’t think anything of it. Well, i hit it with my hand and it nocked over in my computer. And it was a completely full glass of water, I know it’s not normal for water and computers to get together. Well, the computer instantly powered off, and it hasn’t powered back on since. I was told, after about 2 hours, to remove the battery, but we won’t go into that. One thing however people that i think you should understand, is that sabrina’s dad, not 3 weeks ago, did the same thing to his computer. Not a macbook, but still, and it wasn’t water, it was coffee, but still, liquids in the computers, simply isn’t good.
About the house now to? Well, me and sabrina looked at a house in coffman cove to buy. We both liked the house and want to get into it. As you may know from Twitterwe applied for a loan on the house. My credit is not good enough to be on the loan application, so at this time it’s just under sabrina’s name. So we should find out later on this week if we get it. It’s a 3 bedroom house, so if we ever have a family it would be perfect. For the time being, it’s perfect to have her nephews over. And maybe i’ll be able to bring my little brothers up. I wouldn’t mind evan, and or josh, but if i could have one of them I’d be rather happy.
I must think sabrina for allowing me to update you guys from her school mac. To be honest, i like the new macbook keyboards, that’s what I’m typing this on, and i think I’m typing quicker then normal. Anyways, I’m going to let you all go, and i’ll let you know if i end up getting a new macbook. And if you want to donate to the “macbook relief fund” for me, send paypal payments to:
admin@gwhosting.net
thanks a lot;)

i just received this email, and i know i have some blind people who do live in oregon, that might want to look into this. I hope this helps you guys, and do hope that this doesn’t happen to us up here in alaska…
ACTION ALERT: NOTICE OF POTENTIAL CLOSURE OF THE OREGON COMMISSION FOR THE BLIND
The Oregon Commission for the Blind was informed by Governor Kulongoski’s office on Friday, May 15, 2009 that he is recommending that the Commission for the Blind be “suspended” as a result of the economic crisis. This would mean that the agency would cease to operate effective July 1, 2009 and the services we provide would somehow be integrated into other programs within state government.
We believe that this is not a cost effective decision and that the services that the agency provides to blind Oregonians are at great risk if this recommendation is carried out. The Oregon Legislature will be making the final decision as to whether or not to continue the Commission for the Blind.
The agency provides specialized vocational rehabilitation and independent living services to individuals who are blind. It is the only organization in Oregon which provides these services.
Only 11% of the agency budget is provided by state general fund used to match federal grants. This represents less than ½ of 1% of the total state general/lottery fund budget.
Agency services are cost effective. Successfully employed agency clients pay back the state investment of their rehabilitation program in less than 16 months through their tax contributions and create savings in other programs such as the Oregon Health Plan and other forms of public assistance.
The older blind independent living program helps seniors live independently after vision loss and prevents or prolongs the need for seniors to enter into assisted living or nursing homes. Delaying the need for this care by even one year can save the state $36,000-$68,000 per individual.
The agency felt that it is imperative that we share this information with all interested parties so that they can contact the legislature as soon as possible. Contacts should be made immediately with the Ways and Means Human Services Sub-committee and the Full Ways and Means Committee as a decision could be made within the week. Included is a contact list for your information.
The following contains a list of members of the full committee and subcommittee on Human Services. Following on subsequent pages is the contact information for each committee member.

I was requested to write a blog on what i thought about WIKI’s. A wiki is what drives Wikipedia. It allows for users to be able to edit content.
This was not the first time that i’ve seen a wiki. The first time i saw a WIKI was when i was doing journalism in high-school. The first thing our teacher told us was:
“Do not use wikipedia for a sighted source.”
So of course i went to see what Wikipedia was. I like wikis, however, don’t find my self using them often. The only wiki i really use normally is WHMCS’s WIKIand that’s just because I’m rather forgetful. I personally would rather a forum of sorts, i think that to be quicker, better organized, and maybe more reliable. But to all his own.
