			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than a year after my last post here, I&#8217;m attempting to start again.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s late. I&#8217;m tired. Tomorrow promises to be a long day.</p>
<p>As such, I&#8217;m going to call it a night and get some rest. I wanted to write more, but I&#8217;m going to be taking small steps this time, just to see if I can actually maintain some momentum.</p>
<p>I need to start taking pictures again. I miss doing that.</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230;goodnight internets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok. New year, new start. Again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been contemplating just what the purpose of this site/blog/whatever would be for quite some time, but I just seem to need to get over the initial problem of actually <em>writing</em> something on it. As I&#8217;m sure everyone is aware, the economic climate in the U.S. is pretty sad at the moment. As such, I find myself among the ever-growing ranks of the unemployed. I knew it was coming, but it&#8217;s just such a change after being employed steadily over the past 7 years. It&#8217;s a long time. When I was the 20-something member of the Gen-X society, keeping a job for more than a year was a feat, but that didn&#8217;t remain the status quo for very long. I actually find it somewhat amazing that I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to have jobs with a long track record. The only problem is that I sometimes SHOULD have left much earlier than I did.</p>
<p>So, the question is; <em>&#8220;Now What?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I had at one point thought I would take this site on some personal branding spree, since &#8220;Personal Branding&#8221; has been such a high profile component of establishing a &#8220;Web Presence&#8221; as of late. However, I think I&#8217;m just going to pursue the initial goal I had for the site; a personal log. <em>&#8220;Blog&#8221;</em> is <strong>SUCH</strong> a passe term these days, didn&#8217;t you know? LOL</p>
<p>I plan to use this space to document my <em>possible</em> venture into freelancing, and actually embarking on that road that could lead to working for myself for a change. I&#8217;ve signed up for some online marketing courses, I&#8217;ve gotten some new books to read to help me make some educated decisions about this possible new path, and I&#8217;m working to relauch some online endevours that could have some real financial impact if I can just FOCUS on getting all the processes working the way they should.</p>
<p>I need something to look back on, as I start down this new road, to remind me what I should and shouldn&#8217;t be doing, and to maybe help those looking to travel this same route behind me. If anyone IS actually reading this, let me know what you think. I <em>swear</em> I&#8217;ll pay more attention!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pending the installation of a new theme, this new look will be the status quo for the site for a while. It doesn&#8217;t do everything I would like it to, but version 3 should finally bring that flexibility I need. A lot of thought has gone into the future of this site once again, as other website development projects are underway. Regardless of my involvement in other projects, I still felt that I needed a &#8220;home base&#8221;. I&#8217;m still pretty unsure just <em>what</em> will end up here, but I&#8217;m hoping that it will at least justify the effort.</p>
<p>The clock has just flipped over to Monday morning, and it&#8217;s time to shut down operations for the day. Yes, I&#8217;m getting a wee bit too old to be keeping hours like this. next thing you know, I&#8217;ll be playing games again. <img src='http://www.colinjason.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
