The good people in the world.....

I am a people observer.....or just an observer in general really.

and I love to sit back and watch people, animals, etc. and how they react to situations or complete simple everyday tasks. 

In doing this, I constantly find myself saying "the good people in the world today are   ___________" (the blank being whatever it might be that day that I found interesting and special)

So I decided, why not blog about it. 

Sometimes I am included in the good-people-in-the-world group....but mostly not. And that's okay. 

So on this bright and shiny San Diego morning....okay afternoon...

The good people in the world are cleaning their windshield while filling their tanks with gas. 

(kind of lame, I know. But sometimes they are more interesting)

I am not included in this group today. Maybe because I am not going to fill up my tank.

or maybe because I never do that. 

Maybe I should start.

Stay tuned for more good people in the world tasks.

Progress!

I have made progress on the blog!

As you can see, I picked a background that somewhat resembled the high tide with the ocean and the moon. This wasn't just a layout that I just picked and copy-pasted the code into the thingy either. I actually some-what customized it! Sqeeeee!

I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out.

Now I have to find some widgets, maybe add some pictures, and maybe somehow customize the title of the blog. But who knows....I might just leave that the same.

Once again, advice on those things would be great! What widgets do you use? How do you like them??

A whole lot of...Nothing.

I wish I were writing this post with a update on up and coming exciting news/adventures. Or a new piece of creative writing, or a new portion of my book-thing.

but lack of inspiration= lack of motivation
and lack of motivation= lack of writing
and lack of all these things= lack of self worth
...but who's counting?

So alas, I opened this blank page empty handed.

"So.....why are you even writing this post?"  - You may be asking your self.

And the answer simply is: It has been too long. It has been too long since a new post, or even since inspiration has struck. So I am turning to YOU to help me...which may be difficult since I really don't even know who "You" is. (are? is? ....hmmm)

Everyday (ish) I read blogs from bloggers who refurbish furniture, build their own beds, install spice cabinets into their walls, take family portraits, etc. Reading these makes me feel inspired, but yet worthless at the same time. Granted, I live in an apartment, so home renovating won't be happening for many moons. And I don't have multiple babies to sew diaper gene covers for like many of my High school colleagues do (Don't get me wrong..I am very thankful that I do not have to do that). So really, I don't have much to work with.

And it's already a task in itself (for me) to maintain my 2 bedroom apartment along with my busy work schedule at a bbq sports bar/restaurant.............. pathetic excuse, I know.

So I have decided, my next "project" is to update my blog. And by update I mean get a new background, add some of those cool pictures or buttons on the right hand side, and have a little intro/picture/title thingy at the top or the blog that all the cool people have. Now considering I am nowhere NEAR as Internet/Computer savvy as I should be, (which is 100% my fault considering I fall into the 'technology generation' category and I should know how to create a website and download illegal music, or at least create an organized list in Excel.) this may be a little bit difficult.

So I thought to myself "I used to put backgrounds and pictures and stuff on my profile on Myspace...so I can do this!". After a little research, I am clearly wrong. Not to mention I am picky as hell. BUT I am determined to do this on my own (and by "on my own" I mean, not having someone do it for me, which is what I usually do. Helpful hints, and tips...and tutorials would be FANTASTIC!). I have some inspirational and interesting ideas in my head...and since the title of this blog is The High Tide and I want it to be kind of dark and mysterious-ish...I was thinking something kind of like this.....

or this....

Now remember...these are just inspirations. It doesn't have to be EXACTLY LIKE THESE PICTURES. Soooo basically what i'm getting at with this big huge rant is...INSPIRE ME! Tell me what you think, give me ideas...help! thanks. 

UPDATE: After doing "extensive" research today, and going through pages and pages of already made templates, and websites explaining how to create you own (which seemed like a foreign language btw) I feel like it is impossible and I want to give up. Which is how I feel about everything that has to do with technology if I don't understand it within the first fifteen minutes. I will keep trekking through it though. I suppose.
