Now to add in a lot of content! I am also attending a virtual webinar for government jobs. Yeah, I know. I am supposed to be Chasing the Life of Riley. I am, but it will not do for me to be idle, seeing my weekly check has ended last month on the fifth.</p><p>I am still taking the Coursera course, I want to get on to other courses, but this first one is taking a long time to complete! I mean to have it done by the end of November. I will continue my chase, because I know that after a hop skip and a jump I will finally be there!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EeDP0664ssg/YWoydqJWd8I/AAAAAAAAAso/pKw2IPFM08oThhfxED3_kx7hoy3siSufgCNcBGAsYHQ/s1920/lavenders-6382337_1920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EeDP0664ssg/YWoydqJWd8I/AAAAAAAAAso/pKw2IPFM08oThhfxED3_kx7hoy3siSufgCNcBGAsYHQ/s320/lavenders-6382337_1920.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-37279498529280559002021-09-19T00:21:00.000-04:002021-09-19T00:21:28.414-04:00You'll Never Guess What Happened To Me<p> Okay, so I am driving myself crazy with taking online courses AND writing books. Unemployment has ended on the 5th, but I am going to try again and see if I can get it a little while longer. Isn't Christmas coming up in 100 days or so? Granted, I won't be buying much as I did the previous years with a job and unemployment. The tree will look nice, but the presents (unless we are remembered by others this year) will be fewer.</p><p>So, this week I am launching a Pinterest business page. I really have my work cut out for me, luckily the rest of this month will be a lot of free time to work on it. I have been busy. Also, things are happening/has happened that are really unpleasant. When I get over it, I will tell you all about it, but right now I'm in the midst of it. "Problem" number one I'm waiting on pins and needles and do not know what is going to happen; the second "problem" well, I am doing alright, but it has taught me a lesson not to trust someone, even if they are your friend. </p><p>Does this have you on pins and needles? Good. Keep reading my blog and find out when I will reveal what these two problems are. All I can say right now, for the first problem, I keep thinking of the Missing Persons song "Destination Unknown". Do you know the lyrics? If not, look it up online. For the second problem, the song from the Police comes to mind "Don't Stand So Close To Me." Keep guessing what my problems are. Will they interrupt me Chasing the Life of Riley? No, I will keep on going and going until I reach my goal.</p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-49183230518974009832021-08-30T20:01:00.000-04:002021-08-30T20:01:20.808-04:00Another Year and the Same old Same Old<p> I wish covid-19 was over. I got my vaccine, so did my family. I wish everyone had done the same thing, so it would make sense that people are going out to the NYS Fair, and concerts and dining out, etc. I think the pandemic is messing with people's minds, in a big way. Mental illness is now more front and center than ever. Never in our wildest dreams-I know some of us never imagined being smack the middle in one and having to wear masks and keep our distance from friends and some family members. I think some people just can't take living like this and are acting out. Anyhoo....</p><p>Well, my old job asked me back. My health has diminished because of working there, so I told them NO! I mean, I am older now than when I started this blog, and I always told myself (<b>manifesting works, people!</b>) that I want to wake up everyday and do <b>what I want</b> to do. It happened. I am now doing that.</p><p>I didn't expect a pandemic to be the start of freedom, but, I kind of got used to it and I LOVE being at home! Yes, I have no day job, but I never really wanted one. I have bought more courses on writing and now I am taking a course from a Dept. of Labor suggestion from Coursera, and I plan on taking a whole lot of other courses to begin another career, <b>working from home.</b></p><p>Yes, I think of myself now as any entrepreneur or star out there that started from nothing, lived in their cars and went after their dream and made it big. I don't want to be famous, no, but to follow after my fellow writers who are currently making five figures or more a month. Yes. I am still Chasing Riley, a bit, but now I am more closer to my dream than ever.</p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-7836559872125024072020-05-08T12:53:00.001-04:002020-05-08T12:53:27.509-04:00Saving Lives, Staying Home and Very Much DeterminedI hope all of you, your familes and friends are safe and healthy during this strange time. I live with my mom and sister and we are all okay.... <b>BUT</b> the day job I had<b> for years </b>is now<b> gone.</b> I was working at home for two weeks and two days, in March, then I was called and told I had<b> zero hours.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Now, I have always wanted to quit my day job. I have a college degree from Syracuse University, and have been accepting a low salary for years ( under $10K) because I could find nothing better. I had watched several employees-some just new hires, get promotions in a few months time, while I who had tried many times got nothing. I won't go through all I had experienced there, that is not the point I want to make here today.<br />
<br />
I had no way of getting anything better in my city, so along comes COVID-19 and now I am at home. Am I going stir crazy? No! I love being at home with my family, and now have the time to get all those time consuming jobs and projects around the house and in the yard done. <b>Most importantly, I have the time to make the life of my dreams come true....to be a successfully published writer.</b> I have sold ebooks, yes, but not successfully. So now I have all the time in the world, and I am going to focus on one thing at a time, and get the job done!<br />
<br />
While I wait for my first unemployment payment (you can guess how crazy that is..*eye roll*) I will be focusing on becomiing better and marketing my books.. I am so bad on keeping up with this blog but, I will post at least once a month to keep you posted.<br />
<br />
Take care, and remember to wash your hands.<br />
<br />

I'm getting closer to reaching Riley for the first time in a long time I feel MORE than inspired that my goals, dreams, will come true. This is what I have been doing:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Taking new writing courses</li>
<li>Writing</li>
</ol>
Apart from that life has been happening and it takes me awhile to get back on track, but I will start posting how close I am to catching Riley and living the life of my dreams.<br />
<br />
<u><b>What Didn't Work</b></u><br />
Maybe it worked and continues to work for other people, but Etsy did not work for me. After listing products that I took from a course (saying it would sell, what a laugh!) I got "likes" and a little interest in my store, even a person who LIED. (I had a feeling) saying they wanted to buy every single product in my store. I got tired of wasting money I really don't have and closed it down.<br />
<br />
Here's something to remember, everyone who wants to earn a living online: <b>Whatever website you signed up to, and you earned money with them, stick with them. </b>For me, those websites are Amazon and Fiverr. So, that is how I am going to catch up to Riley. Times up now, stay tuned next month!<br />

Although I have made an income online, I have not yet been able to replace my day job. I am STILL at it. Here are a list of things I am trying to make work.<br />
1. Createspace<br />
2. Kindle Ebooks<br />
3.Etsy<br />
I hereby promise to let you know if it is working and will share what I am doing <i>free</i> on this blog once I am<b> "freed'</b>from my day job.<br />
Goodbye again for now.<br />

Finding all the ways to make my life easier is closer to the goal of having the life of Riley. Well, I found this new website that is quite fun and easy to make cash from. You think Swagbucks is all that, this website is like Swagbucks on Steroids!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://earnably.com/i/Freegrrl17">Earnably</a> is free to sign up and earn money. Each point is 0.1 Cents, so 100 points is $1.00. They have a level system. How that works is each member starts at "0" and you can work your way up by completing goals. Going up levels gives you more perks to get more points. One perk when you reach the first level is getting <b>daily prizes</b>. If you want to get to the first level, you will have to: complete 25 offers, Earn 1000 points and redeem your points and get your first payment.<br />
There are many ways to earn points, the best one I like is the Actions category. In the actions category, you can do things like write a blog post, put the website in a forum signature, and Tweet about it. If you have a phone, you can download apps. Unfortunately, I don't have a phone, but I can do surveys, watch videos, play games, use the offer wall, listen to the radio. Bottom line, there is plenty to do!<br />
How you get paid is awesome as well. You can get paid by either Paypal, Amazon Giftcard or Bitcoins. When you set up your account you are able to choose when you'd like to be paid. You can request $1.00 (100 points) up to $30 (300 points). What is cool is that you can choose to be paid automatically! So every time you make $5.00 for instance, (which is 500 points) you can get that automatically sent to your Paypal account.<br />
I am going to see how much I can earn with Earnably in a weeks time, check back again to watch my progress. Until next time.... <br />

These are great websites.<br />
<br />
It took me awhile to learn, that if you want to earn an income online
go to Internet marketers. If you want to learn how to make more CD
sales on the Internet, go to a Music Marketer. Here is a great book if
you are an indie musician and want to make more money online.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.musicianbook.com/">http://www.musicianbook.com/</a><br />
<br />
Forget
the pie in the sky rock and roll dreams. If you want to be a star in
your own area, read that book : "Six Figure Musician: How to Make
$100,000 (or More) With Your Music" Courtesy of David Hooper.<br />
<br />
Here's another good Music Marketer, too.<br />

<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-71864176927688938142016-06-13T19:57:00.001-04:002016-06-13T19:57:44.095-04:00Still Chasing Riley 2016Alot has happened. I was sick last year for more than six months. This year, about three weeks. It has been hard trying to work when you don't feel well. Then, not being able to. Now that I am just about feeling great, for once, I can get back to it.<br />
<br />
Seriously, <b>the whole point of this blog </b>is to earn an income that will not only make me financially independent, but will have me<i> working at home</i>. I am still trying to get my e books to sell. It's frustrating seeing people who are selling hundreds and thousands of books a day, and I'm not even making bus fare with my books.<br />
<br />
What has changed? If you also want to become a writer, please take this very important advice. <b>FICTION</b> sells on Amazon. If anyone tries to tell you non-fiction is the best thing to sell to pay the bills, they are misleading you. I've done a cookbook, children's books, and it is not the same as <b>FICTION</b>.<br />
<br />
SO, having said that. I am actively writing again. I got an editor working on one book, and I will keep writing and publishing, hoping that in a few months(<i>according to one course that I took</i>) that I should make enough sales. If I make enough sales and become financially free, that means I would have caught Riley, at last. I will keep you posted on my progress and success. Once I have caught Riley, I would be more than happy to share what worked in free case studies.<br />
<br />
I have not forgotten my first love,<b> music</b>. I just have to get past the first step.<br />
<br />
Until next month......<br />
<br />
<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-45868265705405322512015-05-18T19:02:00.000-04:002015-05-18T19:02:11.649-04:00Chasing Riley 2015Sorry I have not been blogging as I should have. I am juggling more projects and my blogs are left behind. I am making progress, although in micro steps. I am going to stick with what I said, years ago. I am going to become financially free with publishing first, then I will go back to doing music which my sister and I are anxious to do. I have found a way to write faster and hopefully this time my books will be something lots of people want to buy. I have 13 books published now, that do not sell every day. The Amazon rankings are 100K and above.<br />
<br />
I had more, but had to let them go, because they weren't selling. So now I am focusing on something new to publish, and by July I'm hoping things will be looking a whole lot better and I will almost grab hold of Riley and stop chasing it. One thing I've learned is that you have to sell what people want. So that's just what I will do. Okay, back to work! I cannot promise, but I will try to do one post a month. So look for one in June on how well I am progressing.<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-48121198921562827392014-08-15T11:46:00.001-04:002014-08-15T11:46:16.930-04:00Music News And Other Stuff....I get so frustrated when I read about other people taking weeks, and up to four months earning a great income from home and I have not been able to do that yet. Oh, I make money online alright, but it's not enough to pay off credit cards, or mortgage payments. So right now I'm focusing on my writing so that's why I have not been here in a very, very, long time.<br />
The main website I have been making money with-have made the<b> most money ever </b>online is now closing shop. Yahoo bought out Associated Content, and now they are ending at the end of this month. The pressure to find a replacement, that will work better is on. So, all the music articles I wrote, I'll be posting once a month until I can finally post about my music. Until then.....<br />
<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-9377876712229384862013-07-12T18:08:00.001-04:002013-07-12T18:08:41.292-04:00Music And Still Chasing Riley....No. My music isn't available online-yet. I'm still working on what I have been working on since the beginning of this blog: Financial independence. I have a lot of projects going now, that is why I've been scarce, but I will attempt to do a post every Friday to keep you updated.<br />
Remember when I said I didn't know how to get my MTV Music Generator stuff online? Well, I still don't, <b>BUT</b> a thought occurred to me just the other day. 'What if their are music generators online?'<br />
<b>HELLO</b>! Why didn't I think of that before?! So, anyhoo, I found some sites and I'll be working on some 'new' music that will finally be heard on the Internet. I have found some great books on marketing your music for free. Here's one right now, get it before the guy changes his mind.<br />
<a href="http://www.musicianbook.com/">Six Figure Musician</a><br />
If you are an indie musician and you want to make more money, then you will want this book! It covers every aspect of selling your music. I am glad I have it, so that when my music is finally able to go live on the Internet, I will be able to market it properly instead of guessing.<br />
On the Chasing Riley end of things, I have decided that the only way to get rid of my day job is to write. I have chosen Kindle to do this. I am sure you have heard of the success of many authors such as J. A. Konrath, Amanda Hocking and John Locke. The books I have published are not making big sales, so I have to change my genre to fiction. Non fiction is not the biggest seller. That is all I have been doing, which is probably why I haven't succeeded! So, I have the key, so all I have to do is put it in the lock and turn it.<br />
Until next Friday.....<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-63258737141069698312012-08-19T13:16:00.001-04:002012-08-19T13:16:56.043-04:00Getting Closer To Catching Riley*Sigh*. No, I'm not yet close to getting my music out yet, but a way to become financially independent is. Well, one good thing is that I do have a <b>publishing contract </b>for a <b>series</b>. My first book will be out in October. Instead of endlessly searching for things to do to make money, I have focused on three things:<br />
<ul>
<li>Writing(my publisher+ Kindle, Smashwords and other websites like them)</li>
<li>Teaching(online)</li>
<li>Crowdfunding</li>
</ul>
So, I am hoping by the end of next month to be debt free, and therefore able to purchase the software and equipment I need to get my music online and heard by millions of people. So, you will hear from me once more this month, and will hear the final verdict next month. Will I have caught Riley? Will I finally be able to just wake up every day and work at home? Stay tuned and find out....<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-39280977328160672472012-06-10T09:41:00.002-04:002012-06-10T09:41:31.252-04:00A Riley UpdateWell, trying to raise the money on our own is taking a long time, so we've decided to try crowdfunding to get the equipment that we need. I've read a lot of stories in my local newspaper about people having success with it, so I believe crowdfunding will get us there faster.<br />
Still working on my contracted books, and books for Kindle and other platforms. I'm trying to teach myself to write fast, but distractions are everywhere and it's hard to focus. If I want to reach my goal this year, <b>I must try harder</b>, and I will.<br />
Then, I am also trying other ways to earn money, but as I said it is slow. I hope to make a breakthrough this month so I can finally relax and do what I've always wanted to do. So, since I'm so busy, I can't promise another post in June. I'll post once a month to let you know of my progress. I'm getting closer to catching Riley, I can feel it!<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-52931301493782345722012-04-09T19:45:00.002-04:002012-04-09T19:45:28.066-04:00One Step Closer To Riley.....There is so much confusion about earning money online. That is why people scream scams and don't believe that you can make anything on the Internet. Those people are <i>wrong</i>. I <b>have </b>made money online, not enough to quit my j.o.b. but, I have a plan to get me past the first step on to the next. What is my plan? <b>Kindle Publishing. </b>I've read a lot about it, have made a little money with it, but there are so many things I need(music supplies and equipment) not to mention the basics. I've listened to at least six if not more Kindle publishing webinars. I've read ebooks, and listened to a video course. So this month I'm finally putting this plan into action. If I succeed, then I will be one step closer to Riley. Will I be the next Amanda Hocking? I don't know, maybe. I'm not that silly to think I could achieve that within a month. All I'm looking for is some financial relief and that's nowhere near what Amanda Hocking has. I'll let you know in May....and then, when I make it, I will reach for the stars.<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-35937045368635296182012-01-29T10:17:00.000-05:002012-01-29T10:17:42.906-05:00New Years ResolutionsOkay! It's been a few years since I've started this blog, and although I have not yet caught Riley, I am one step closer to doing it. I've had one success last year, and that is I have found a publisher that will publish three of my books. One this year, two next year.<br />
Even though that is part of my dream coming true, it still does not allow me to just work from home, and all(as far as I know) digital publishers do not give advances, just royalties. The debt I spoke on in earlier posts is still there. It's gone <b>way down</b> since then, though, but it is not <i>gone </i>like I want it to be. So I've found a few ways to make money, but it's very slow going.<br />
One thing I want to duplicate, that I know would get rid of all the debt, is publishing on Kindle. I have twenty titles on there now, and only six are consistently selling. None of them are fiction titles, though. So, right now I am working on writing fiction for Kindle. It would be nice to reach the success that Amanda Hocking has, but even if I have just a <i>fraction </i>of her success now, that would mean I would be at least debt free.<br />
So! In the next three months, this is what I want to accomplish:<br />
1. Become debt free<br />
2. Have enough money to quit my day job<br />
3. Make a consistent $5,000+ a month<br />
4.Jump Start My Music Career<br />
My plan is just to write, write, write until the following is accomplished. If John Locke can sell a million books in just five months, I figure I can do at least have as good as he did when I put some effort into it. I do have<br />
another trick up my sleeve that will help get rid of the burden of debt, but I will only mention it in April when I will report the results of my New Years' resolution.<br />
As for music, it still all boils down to getting software. I'm kind of afraid to use other peoples "free" royalty free music, or public domain music. I did a video for Youtube, and I get an email from them saying that the song I used belonged to some company! I didn't dispute it, but I checked the song on my hard drive. The person who gave me the music called it 'PLR' or something like that, and said that I could put my name on it<br />
and use it as I wished. So, I am going to have to buy my royalty free music and I just don't have the cash now. So, this plan has got to work for my New Years' Resolutions to come true.<br />
As I continually say, I will try to post at least once a month, so at least let you know I am still actively working.<br />

that we're going to have out. Still working on<br />
various projects and striving to live the Life of<br />
Riley online.<br />
<br />
I have a publisher, so that's one good thing.<br />
My first book will be published in February 2012.<br />
Still, gotta take care of the here and now. So I<br />
will do my best to have at least one post a month<br />
until things are the way I want them to be.<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-18137166660118336542011-06-26T22:12:00.000-04:002011-06-26T22:12:36.897-04:00Music NewsSo what's happening in music with us, you say? Right now, nothing, but we did have a big discussion and chose some music that we want to create our own music with-royalty free music. We have yet to get out MTV music generator songs and compositions online. One day, we promise we will.<br />
<br />
On the other side of things, remember way way back when I started this blog? Well, I've got more than one iron in the fire:<br />
<ul><li>Writing:Self publishing my own books</li>
<li>Freebie Trading</li>
<li>PTC</li>
<li>Yahoo Content Network</li>
</ul>Well, I am working on all of these things to make myself debt free, so I can move forward and live the life of my dreams. Still Chasing Riley, but I'm more focused and one step closer. I have a mentor with freebie trading, lots of influential writer friends, and I found guides and articles to help me do better with the Yahoo Content Network(I'm talking page views) and PTC. I'm focusing on the five best, and longest ptc sites that have been online. So, there you go. That's what I'm up to. Catch you next time....<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-31092984751011372052011-05-24T18:25:00.000-04:002011-05-24T18:25:24.475-04:00In The Meantime.....After flipping and flopping all over the Internet, I finally found three ways to make money online that I actually like doing. So, in about a month or so, the Internet marketing world will be in shock as many, many, many thousands of emails will be deleted. I've been doing some every week, but I've collected <b>a lot </b>over the years.<br />
<br />
Anyway, if you are a person who wants to make money online, whatever works for you, KEEP DOING IT! If you make a little money at first, keep working at it until you start to make a lot. So far, only <b>two</b> things have worked for me, and I will actually be creating a new blog about it. So, the magic thing is getting the amount of money I want to make with it each month. That's what I've been doing. About the music.....<br />
<br />
Well, I've got my income tax return two months back, and am now able to buy the right software and the microphone to go with my computer. The only problem is, one of the websites I found that had the most awesome royalty free music on it, I forgot the name of it, and where I wrote it down. *Sigh* I'll find it, so I'm going to take this Memorial Day weekend and do what I'm supposed to be doing.<br />
<br />
If I get my work all done, hey, I'll put a video up on Youtube. Until next time....<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-37801821408509732712011-04-11T20:48:00.001-04:002011-04-12T19:43:59.083-04:00The Best Boxing On TVThanks for the article from Len Briggs<br />
<a href="http://www.dish.tv/">http://www.dish.tv</a><br />
I've loved boxing since I was a kid. My oldest memories are of watching Mike Tyson knock out nearly anyone who was in front of him. I still try to watch every fight I can, and HBO World Championship Boxing is still the king of the ring when it comes to boxing programs.<br />
<br />
Just switching the Satellite TV Packages with HD over to HBO on a fight night gets my skin tingling. With their bigger budget, the channel can get the best fighters in the sport and toss them into the ring together. Marquez vs. Katsidis, Martinez vs. Williams, Vazquez vs. Marquez. These were some of the most exciting fights I've seen, and they've all been on WCB. In addition, the program regularly replays recent pay per view fights a week or two after the live broadcast.<br />
<br />
Aside from the quality of the fights, I love HBO's commentating team. Jim Lampley and Emanuel Steward team up with Max Kellerman and Larry Merchant to give the best boxing commentary on tv. No other station's announcers even come close, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
With some really important fights on the horizon, I'll be watching HBO World Championship Boxing for years to come. Now if Pacquiao and Mayweather would just fight each other.....<br />

We have to put our MTV Music Generator music on the back burner. Maybe one day this year, we'll turn into techno geeks and can hook it up properly, but for now we're going to just settle using royalty free music. So, we're still working on that, and I promise you WILL hear something from us this year, and I will get back to telling my story, about how I am trying to "Chase the Life of Riley" on the Internet.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I will be putting more information on this blog this year. Since I'm so busy, I'll post at least once a month until I no longer have to chase Riley and have more free time. So here's what you can expect:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Music books</li>
<li>Music articles</li>
<li>DNJR's Music(Finally, right?)</li>
<li>Music Links(I've slacked on that in the past, well, no more!)</li>
</ul>So expect to hear from me, some time before February ends(since I missed January). <div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-55063992345681146712010-09-10T20:11:00.001-04:002010-09-10T20:15:22.082-04:00Music UpdateO.K.! We have come to the same problem....again. Hooking up the Playstation/Playstation 2 to the computer, so we can use the songs that we have already written, and get you to hear them. It hasn't worked-<b>yet</b>. In the meantime, we are working on another project: Become-Financially-Independent. I've found a home business that I love, and though I hit some snags, I have made money, more money than on Associated content in a short period of time, yet, it's not enough to get me out of my day job.<br />
<br />
So....that's why you haven't heard anything from me in a looonnnngggg tiiiiiimmmme. Our ringtones? Not perfect yet, we're still working on those, the first one, we sent out in the open on Associated Content, and not many people listened. Then later, I read that audio stuff is not what a lot of people are interested in on AC. Big surprise! Well, anyway I have to post some interesting content. If you have ever watched American Idol, I knew that once the big guys dissed Paula Abdul by not giving her more money, and she left, that was the beginning of the end of the show.<br />
<br />
Simon left this season, then Ellen(who was so cool on the show!) and now, the latest and the least of the judges I liked Kara DioGuardi has now left the American Idol building. I really can't think of Anybody who<br />
can replace Paula and Simon. Kara, definitely can be replaced, but not Simon and Paula. Those two, and Randy Jackson<b> branded </b>the show. Uh, oh, I hope he doesn't leave now!!! Randy, if you find this obscure blog and you read this, please don't leave the show!!!! I have heard through the grapevine, they are thinking of Steven Tyler and J-Lo as possible judges. I got nothing against them but, we need someone else, either way. Someone experienced like Simon, or hot like Tommy Lee. Tommy Lee ...*sigh*..I'd love to see his hotness every week. Todd Rundgren knows the music Industry like anybody's business. He'd be a terrific Judge for the show. It'd get him out of the New Cars, the<b> ONLY </b>group I don't like that he ever was in!<br />
If you don't know who Todd Rundgren is, there you go! He needs to be on the show he's a great songwriter, producer, musician, and all-around cool artist. Well, I've said enough, got to get back to what I was doing...but I'll be back sooner than later.<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13527420.post-61899392327293488462010-05-09T20:57:00.000-04:002010-05-09T20:57:19.315-04:00Oooh Yeah! We're Working On MusicO.K. we have been working on music on and off, but<br />
this week we will be putting more effort into it. Yes, I<br />
will finally list where we have ringtones, after we make<br />
a few more.<br />
<br />
We've found some royalty free music and, other free<br />
music that we can work with. Kind of like MTV Music<br />
Generator. No, we haven't found that lost memory card<br />
yet, but we will. So just know that we're working on stuff,<br />
and when we're done, we'll provide links, and even a<br />
Youtube Video.<br />
<br />
We're so excited!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer">ca-pub-8249225344660748</div>Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09695021209591173822noreply@blogger.com0
