It's the SPACE BLOG!!

Why blog on earth when you can blog...IN SPACE!!
with http://www.bloginspace.com

What can I say, it's a spiffy looking site that lets you transmit your blog into space, for free, using "a powerful deep space transmission dish." Yes, you too can communicate your miniscule and insignificant troubles and opinions to beings lightyears away.

So I went on the site, entered info about my blog, took notice of the disclaimer not to piss off the aliens, noticed that MindComet owns the BlogStar Network, as well as PayPerPost.com... promoting your own sites, eh guys? Good show! I declined to check the box that said "Yes, sign me up for Blogstar Network", as I assume I'm already a member, seeing as how I'm writing this post in the first place.

What can I say? It's a cute idea that our personal online "journals" and articles are being transmitted into the outer reaches of the galaxy. I actually preferred the "Space News" section, which had some interesting blogging-related news bites. I also liked the fact that they were featuring one of the blog links on the main page (although more than one would be even better- Blogger has it's own scrolling list, for instance). All in all, kinda fun.

"Windfall" - what I would do if I won the lottery

Now, I have yet to see the show Windfall, but apparently it has Luke Perry in it and it has something to do with a bunch of friends winning a huge lottery jackpot together. That being said, there a few things I would do with a decent lottery winning, right off the bat:

-pay off my student loan debts
-pay off my credit card debts
-pay off my parents' debts and make sure they're comfortable
-start a educational savings bond for my nephew
-TRAVEL EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE
-take a year off to read every and any book I've been wanting to read
-throw the world's biggest party for everyone I know
-invest some of it
-make sure I have enough to live on
-give the rest to charity

In short, I'm used to living on practically nothing. It's not really the material goods that I crave. I don't want a private jet or a sports car (maybe a smart car or a Vespa) or a mansion; I just want enough to live on for several years so I can work on my writing without having to worry about my finances, and maybe enjoy the finer things in life. Nothin' fancy.
