"Life is interesting!" - me, now

Today has been really kicking my ass back and forth.

First, I lost my iPhone.

Then, I went to work some more on the business plan with Edward, and we got a lot done. I'm extremely excited about the great project that came together. Freemeet - the social calendar. It's the one thing I'm really proud of right now.

Then one of my friends and investors calls, and says he wants a lot of his money back. He is very concerned about losing the investment.

At the same time, I finally get in touch with a guy who's supposed to do Flash for our client project with Social Amp. I'm working with Social Amp just to put more money into the company. It takes away from my focus but brings in necessary income. So we are about to have a conference call, but then Leon calls and it's really important. So I reschedule the conference for 11PM.

On top of everything, it's my ex-girlfriend's first birthday since we broke up, and I'm staying out of her life. I want her to be happy. We are both screwed. :)

So overall, I feel like my ass has been kicked, I am beat down, tired right now... and I have a date in about 20 minutes.

This is at once a low point and an exciting point in my life.

So, life is interesting! Let's see what tomorrow brings.

If I wrote for the Onion

As you might know, I like to be creative. As some of you know, I have wacky ideas sometimes. Just sometimes. Here's one of them. I thought I'd write a fake news story this morning :)

Traces of Kryptonite found in Africa

Mon, March 10 ANGOLA, AND PARTS OF KENYA Scientists have uncovered a rare geological specimen yesterday. While studying rock formations on a routine geological expedition, Dr. Jordan and several graduate students came upon the glowing green rock embedded amid schist and other metamorphic rocks that dotted the area. "The schist around here is typically thought of as developing from gypsum and gneiss and other igneous origins," says Dr. Jordan. "This find completely blows our previous understanding out of the water."
The scientists would have discovered the rock earlier, but the first expedition to the area -- led by two college professors -- disbanded shortly after visiting the location, without ever publishing their findings. "I can't say we were the first ones to see this," says Kevin, a fourth year grad student studying with Jordan. "The guys who went here before -- well, they are all apparently irresistible to women now, and have quit their careers. I consider us extremely lucky to be the first to make this significant contribution to geological science."

Several respected figures from outside the scientific community have been quick to offer their insights. "This is a great example of elements originally from comic books and movies being found in real life," remarks John Littlewood. Mr. Littlewood is also a member of the Marvel Comics physics club, and admin of the Smallville Babes Are Hot group on facebook.

Some say these findings prove that Krypton has existed in the past. Many skeptics have remained skeptical, however, insisting there is a "natural" explanation for the existence of Kryptonite on the Earth's surface. Says Richard Dawkins, Charles Simonyi professor at Oxford, "The fact that Kryptonite was found on Earth, and not, say, in Krypton's original star system, leaves open many possibilities. There is a very good chance it could have developed here through millions of years, chiseled by volcanoes and waterfalls, much in the same way it would have on the original Krypton. However, there is simply no real evidence to conclude that Krypton ever existed."

Meanwhile, Cynthia Key from the Smallville group is excited. "I am very excited. This is the first missing link we have discovered since the existence of supermen first emerged as a theory. It is a rare glimpse into the life ancient Kryptonians used to lead. Hopefully this is just the beginning."
