At what age does one begin to lose their memory? I mean consistantly forgetting important tasks that one shouldn't. This is getting to be a bad trend. I guess it starts small, like my lunch that I've packed the night before, left in the fridge. Or that half load of laundry sitting in the washer, over a week. I'm scared I'll grow old and senile. Pass the ginko.
Anyhow this has relevence. I just forgot to send an email to a co-worker, telling him what he needs to do on the weekend, and now I have to come to work to send it. I can't believe I forgot. ARG! That means my previuos post about not coming jinxed me, and I had to come afterall. I think I need to buy a Palm Pilot or Pocket PC, one of them new fandangled "GameBoy's for grown-ups". Better to spend $300 (CAD) on one then to walk around with little yellow Post-It(R) notes on my forehead eh? hehe... I just ended the sentence with "eh"... hehe.
By the way, there are people who are complaining about the font size, and there are those who think this web page is cheese. To the first group I say. nah nah nah, and to the second group, I say "BLECH". How's that for a comeback?! Hey, it's late.... they can't all be gems; sheesh.
Can you believe I'm still at work?? Oh gash, I'm soooo tired. Actually, went out with a couple of friends for dinner and bubble tea. No big deal. It was either that, or come in on weekends, and I'm trying REALLY hard not to do that

I had an "eureka" the other day, and am only sharing with you now. I think I have single-handedly solved the e-commerce/online shopping problem. Why aren't online shops making money? Simple, no one's buying. Fine, who has the most disposable income? 18-25? They like to think that, but let's be honest, they're either still in school, or just out of school, in which case, they're still trying to pay off their student loans. 26-34? Sure, the bulk of the $$$ is made by people at this age, but really, this is the time to start saving for cars/house/marriage. Okay, okay impatient reader. The age bracket that has the most dollars to spend is 50+ people. Think. Their kids are probably grown up, so don't need support. Yet they are established enough that they have the money to splurge. So why oh why, are people NOT spending their money via online shopping.
BIGGER FONTS Yes, that's right. That's what websites need. I was at Toyota's website the other day, on a 17 inch monitor, running at 1024x768, trying to show a 50 year old gentleman some of the newer Toyotas. He was squinting and adjusting his bi-focals up and down, side to side. It was rather comical; but to be frank, I had a hard time reading it myself. Look, most 50 year olds aren't very computer literate to begin with (no offence, but back when they were young, computers weren't as widespread). So, you have to scare them off with technology, AND you're making it hard to read?? What's with that? Hence, I vow to use bigger fonts in my blogs. And I think if webpages were made with less doo-dads, but more legible, then maybe, just maybe, the older folks with the money won't be so scared to surf. If they're comfortable with surfing, then perhaps they'll finally start using that mythical button ---> Click to add to your cart.

Joy. Now you can click on my little nickname at the bottom of the posts, and send me an email.
Wonders never cease.
Morning all... as much as I hate to admit it, after 29 yrs, I KNOW I'm not a morning person. I even try. But when 12am rolls around, I'm still bouncing off the walls. It can't be the caffeine, since I don't drink coffee or tea much these days, and I've cut down drastically my Coke consumption. I try to be a good little boy, and jump in bed, whether I'm wide eyed and bushy tailed or not, still.... it takes a whole herd of sheep counting before I drift off.
When morning comes, at 8:45am, I groan. I jerk out of bed like a man possessed, then I slam on the alarm off button. This is where will power does NOT exist. I look at my bed, and I think of getting up, and the warm bed wins, everytime. It's not just about resolve, it's about being defeated. Morning defeats me, and I have to at least sleep another 15 min before panic sets in, and I finally awake, although not without much protest from my whole body. But it wasn't always like this. I remember vividly in grade 3, I would wake up every morning before 7am, and think about how cool it was to be at school that day. I even remember days when I'd sneak off to school by myself, just so I can get there before the school door opens. I always thought that it was cool to be there before everyone else. Don't ask me why. I don't try to figure it out either. ZZZZzzzz.

My main site www.geocities.com/asiliat got a little updated.... It's still using Yahoo Pagebuilder. Not very good, but does the job.
I really need to rebuild my blogger to work better. I'm going to learn how to make a webpage darnit, if it's the last hobby I try!
I'm trying to update the default blogger template into something I like. I will change the background colours later... For now, I just want to muck around w/ the blogger Tags a little bit. =]
I guess I need to update this a little more frequently eh? I can't seem to muster up the energy to write too much. Constantly in a tired state.
I was speaking with a friend today, and I've just noticed there are people in this world who constantly worry. About EVERY LITTLE T H I N G. My goodness, how does one live through life like that? Granted, I've had time where I've worried myself sick about stuff, but not every day. You know who you are if you ever get to read this. Life is too much fun worrying about things you can't control. We're not all going to change the world.... So instead of worrying whether you'll do something grand or not, enjoy the little things in life. Look at the butterfly. Do you think it cares that other flying creatures laugh b/c it can't fly in a straight line?? No, it flies along merrily, albeit "floppily", and that's it. It just enjoys itself. And yes, I interviewed a lot of butterflies for this blog. :P Enjoy life. We are lucky to have the money to live comfortably w/o knowing real hunger or worry about a place to sleep. Don't take it for granted, mind. Just enjoy.

More tests, trying hard to see if this is worth using.... I mean, it's cool and all. But time consuming. And since I'm so HTML inept, and I don't want to sit here all day learning even WYSIWYG webpage generators, it's really much too muessy for my liking.
Looks like I'll really have to learn to use some sort of an editor... :P
This is a test. This is ONLY a test. If this was a real message, there'd be relevance and humor, only listed in that order because I found the spelling of "relevence" first. (Wait!! I'm Canadian, it's humoUr.) Oops.
