My story is out. I just wanted to point it out to you.
READ THE STORY ABOUT ME!.

You can read the story by clicking the above link or you can pick up a copy of the Metro Pulse’s April 23, 2008 issue. I thought Metro Pulse came out on Thursdays, but it seems my story was out on Wednesday (today). I bet when they changed to a new printer, they changed the publication date. Now, I need to go to a local store and pick me up a couple copies of this article.

Rose Kennedy, the reporter for the article, did a great job with it. She even took a great picture of me for the article too. What are you waiting for? READ THE STORY ABOUT ME!.

I wonder how many business cards and visits to my Web site I will get from this article?
I guess, I can only wait and see.

Now to my business cards I gained today …
I picked myself up 2 business cards. iposty sent me 23 business cards today, along with 23 duplicates. He also sent me some “gift cards” for a local person who collects gift cards. I will send those to her soon. Check out Jolie’s Gift Cards for more information. I now move onto a collector in Castle Rock, CO sent me 59 business cards, along with 1 duplicate. Finally, I gained 6 business cards from a normal contributor from Arkadelphia, AR.

My new overall total of business cards is 151,120.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me business cards, those who plan to send me business cards and also those who tells everyone else to send me business cards too. I appreciate it very much.

I am going to post something I normally don’t post about. I am going to post some political stuff this time. I hate politics, but I figured I would just post some of my insight in this upcoming election.

We have three great or maybe not so great people who might or might not be up for becoming the next President of the United States of America.

We have Obama.
Then we have Clinton.
We have McCain.

I will vote for the best man or maybe even the best woman, I think will do the best job.
One thing that gets to me is how much money they raise for the campaigning. Millions of dollars for themselves, when we have tons and I mean tons of charities that I believe could use the money better then they could.

I do know who I am planning to vote for. But, the actual election isn’t until November.

Oh one other thing that gets to me, is primaries. I hate the fact that you have to vote straight ticket. I never vote straight ticket. I am not a total Democrat nor am I a total Republican. I just vote for the best person (politically correct eh?) who will do the best job for the office they are going to take.

That is my views of this. I would like to thank the men and women fighting overseas and have made it possible for us to have a freedom of speech, press, etc. God Bless America!
Actually God Bless Everyone, Everywhere!.

I have my Cross-post problem fixed now for those that go into my old LiveJournal blog ( bizcards). It was having problems with images that are placed in my blog, I found it to be from a plug-in that auto signed alt tags to the images placed in my blog, and LJ didn’t like the code it was using so it was dumping it. I tried to edit some of my past entries, so if you have noticed strange html errors on some, that is why. So my Cross-Posting should be fixed for the images part. Remember you can always comment on my new blog using your OpenID which is what LJ supports and uses too! =) If you do notice any past entries still like that, give me a comment to that entry and I will get it fixed asap. Plus, I do have a plug-in now that will e-mail you when I have replied to comments so you will know about these. Try it out today!

If you haven’t yet checked out my new blog, please feel free to do so!
