So I decided to add some additional categories to my directory in hopes of attracting more submissions.
The I requested link swaps with 2025 sites today. I want to see what it will take to get some real visitorship either form direct click-thoughs or from MSN and Google in form of keyword searches.
My keyword for today is “Amber”. If I can get to the top of all the meta searhes it will get the site about 10,000-20,000 more visitors per month. Worth doing.
Update: April 22nd. I have 46 requests back. Those are site have added my link already.
I found this to be funny and informative so I’m going to publish it here for your amusement and education.
Thanks for info Juan. You can visit Juan Carlos Nacho online at Honest Juan’s
Lol, I saw on your blog that you thought about moving to AZ. It’s a neat place, BUT,
some things to think about:
1) It is hotter than shit here. I am not kidding you. It is fucking hot. The A/C
went out in my apartment and my roomates about passed out, I had to carrry them
water every few minutes. It was about 105 degrees inside- with fans blowing, all
lights off, at 9:00 at night. In fact, in summer, it won’t cool down until about
midnight.
2) There are 24 hour Walmarts and auto parts stores!!! There is seriously a
walgreens and walmart on every corner.
3) Everything is packed together, but everything you want is about 12 miles away.
Seriously. You can’t go anywhere without driving.
4) You get an assload of phone books. We got about 8 from the phone company.
5) In parts of town, one in three people speaks good English.
6) The further west you go from phoenix, the “better it gets.”
7) The further into the city you go, the more likely you are to get shot, or see an
INS truck.
8) The airport is ginormic. There are four terminals and each one seems to be about
as big as portland international.
9) Scottsdale is the L.A. of Arizona. LOTS of models, and very famous plastic
surgeons. It is very expensive to live there.
10) One word: Latinaswithbigtitsandasses. Seriously. The number of hot chicks here,
damn.
11) The job market seems to be pretty decent.
12) The apartments that I live in are awesome, and cheap.
13) Houses in the west part of town are very expensive.
14) Crime is high.
15) There are LOTS of illegals, and nobody can drive. The speed limit is 45 on most
roads, but many people are doing 55 to 60 and drive like douchebags.
16) There are few gun stores.
17) You will usually spend about 45 minutes just checking out at walmart. People
will have about 4 shopping carts full of groceries, and can’t speak english, and
what to know “what price is?”
18) Depending on where you register, car insurance is insane! I have a perfect
record with no accidents, no tickets, and I spend 250 a month on insurance!
19) Lines at the DMV are long. You get there a half hour before opening, and the
line is already snaking it’s way accross the parking lot and into the street. At the
un busy DMV. This is again compounded by the fact that no one speaks english.
20) There is a game crazy, game stop, hollywood video, block buster, mcdonalds, jack
in the box, or taco bell, on every corner. The phone book has a page that has
nothing but listings for hollywood videos.
21) There are at least two fry’s electronics.
22) Shucks is called Checkers (I have one accross the street within walking distance
of me)
23) Autozone is still autozone, but there is one on every corner (there is one on my
side of the street within about 500 feet of me).
24) There are strip clubs everywhere.
25) There are at least two drive through liqour stores.
26) Down the road from where I live, there is a ferrarri, BMW, jaguar, Hummer, Rolls
royce, Mercedes, and “assorted cars you can never afford” dealer ship.
27) The road I live on is at least 38 miles long from one end to the other- that is,
it is unbroken and you can drive on it without having to leave it for 38 miles.
28) We have a circut city, and best buy on every corner.
29) We have several sams club’s (the walmart version of costco).
30) We are within a days drive of both L.A. AND Las Vegas. All-in-one PC Care. Get
the free beta be eligible for special pricing.
Things I want:
1. I want a really nice car. More than one actually. A truck, a compact, a sportscar.
2. I want a really nice little house in Arizona where I can go to get way from everyone. One of those places where the nearest neighbor is a mile away and I can shoot guns off the front porch.
3. I want a beach house. I really fucking big beach house. The thing will be my home away from home. An indoor gym that has a really tall ceiling. Mirrors on every wall. A wooden man in the corner. Lots of punching bags. Cocabolo floor with granite trim. Huge skylights. Mirror finished stainless steel countertops. An arboretem with all kinds of plants. A really nice Pool, Hot tub, suana, steam room, pool table (I want to have sex on a pool table).
A helichopter pad outside where I can land my chopper.
4. A super hot wife/girlfriend to share my life with.
5. Body guards that will kick the shit out anybody I tell them.
6. One or two of those super butlers that have the AR15s and shit like that.
7. My own private investigator.
8. A moat with anacondas in it. (No not really)
Surfing link market and myspace. Working to make my network bigger. I suppose I will work on the website for the next two days and take care of some more stuff at home.
Monogamy is a real thing to me. I have been a slut in my day but when I think I am in relationship with someone I won’t sleep with anyone else. Call me crazy but I really think I am right for a relationship with just one person. (Well, a bunch of hot bi chicks would be ok too.) I’m seeing someone I really like. I don’t get to see her very much. I sexually frustrated.
Once again I am changing my plans. My boss wanted me to work Friday so I turned down work elsewhere. Then he decided not to have me come in tomorow. I’m quitting for sure now. I don’t think I will even tell him. I just won’t call him. I can’t work four jobs. He’s not paying me enough to bother.
My Girlfriend now wants to meet on Saturday night instead of Friday. I’m not happy about that. I want to spend more time with her. Part of why I’m sure I want to take the jobs in Astoria. It’s a short drive to Portland.
Cool Now I can surf Link Market all day tomorow for link partners for this site. I paid for the membership upgrade so I wouldn’t get RX spam.
I opened a bank account today. Some bank called Skylight. I couldn’t re open my account at US Bank. That’s OK they added alot of charges to my account that weren’t cool. The Bank account I’m using to get paid is all about not.
Got paid. Not a big check but I have enough to drive to the coast and work next week. I’m still looking for a good job.
I have been checking into University Of Phoenix to complete an asociates degree.
I’m a strapping young buck. I’m finding it pretty easy to lift granite slabs at work. I like heavy work. I’m going to the coast to do some work next week.
It’s a long way to go for work. But I’m not staying busy enough at the Granite shop. The granite shop is good place to work. I enjoy granite fabrication. Basically what we do at Doren Tile and Stone is create countertops, harths, mantels, shelves and such from raw slab material.
We start with a slab of Granite. These usually weigh about 1,100 Lbs. Some weigh more depending on the thickness and density of the material. We have to move it into the shop with a forklift. Then It goes on a tilt table that get wheeled over to the saw that we use to cut the slabs into the rough shapes that the countertops or whatever we are fabricating with look like.
After cutting the rough outline of the countertops we use a router to cut a beveled edge in the material. Then it’s time to polish the edge with a variable speed polisher that is designed specifically for stone polishing stone.
After it’s all polished up we install it. Many of the installations we do involve large and heavy peices of stone. Moving stone takes a bit of core strength and can bit hard on your body. This young Buck Can hack it though.
BTW If you are a shop seeking a granite fabricator hire me.
