On this date last year...


"Other than the fact..."

... that yet ANOTHER typhoon is headed our way -- which would be the 21st one we've had this year -- normalcy prevailed upon me today. Yo. That number can't be right can it? Geez. We're getting tons of rain this year, eh? No pun intended.

Anyway, normalcy is a good thing. The Email Bulletin went out this morning without a scratch, people seem to be posting responsibly on our forums (that which is much appreciated and quite interesting to observe, something to note about what happens when the user base of a board grows to a certain level and I wonder if there have been any credible studies done regarding online posting behavior? Talking to myself here...), and work work was relatively slow.

I have been trudging along with my business plan for .COM and for the first time since I started writing it over a year and a half ago -- and making endless adjustments as the markets kept forever changing -- I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I may be looking at another two weeks, but it's all there.

I'm happy.

Tired of it yes, of this part at least. But happy.

Also, I now know what it must feel like to be a PhD candidate working on *one* research paper for years and years and years. LOL! Seriously though, these days I often think to myself that not going for funding this time last year -- when we really didn't know what we were doing -- was a blessing in disguise. Whether or not I can raise money and actually implement the thing is another story, but at least this stage will soon be finished, and to the very best of my abilities. I.e.:

  • Screen shots for the development team
  • Detailed text description for all interested parties
  • Excel spreadsheets / $ figures for potential investors
I know this business inside and out, it ain't even funny. What *is* funny is going through copies of our original business plans and reading all the BULLSH*T that I had written. It is SO BAD... it's embarrassing, lol! Either I have matured over the years, or the business concept has come a long way from where it first started.

This journal of mine is about to take a turn, one way or another.

Guess we'll have to see what happens.
