I have been quite busy preparing for a rather important and big change in my life. I will get right to the point and move on from there: I enlisted into the Army Reserve in February of this year and I will be leaving for Army Basic Combat training in early August. So obviously that means that this blog will be silent, once again, for a period of about four months give or take. You probably won’t see a solid post from me until some time after mid-December. But I hope that I’ll be able to get to a computer, if not my own computer to say what’s up. My Facebook and Army Journal will be the most reliable sources of news from me.
“David, why did you join the Army?!”
Frankly it’s a very long story that you are welcome to learn about in the video at the bottom of this post. For now I thought I’d just come forward on here and let people know that may happen to frequently pop by my blog every so often. I welcome you to follow my journey and perhaps keep an eye out for what I’ll be up to as I go from “Civilian to Soldier”. I go by my full name David Moore and an alias: godavidstrong (Go David Strong as in the Army slogan to go “Army Strong”). If you really want to know more or speak with me for any other reason, you’re more than welcome to email me at godavidstrong@gmail.com.
For now you can still expect more posts from me between now and August.
I am sooooooo late with this. Honestly, I just didn’t see the point when Facebook started pushing this little addition out at the time, but I followed the crowed back in ’09 and made one, then abandoned it for well over a year. In spite of my neglect I still gained one whopping “like” at some point in the distant past. lol
So I am here today to be utterly shameless and ask that if you like what I do here, please join my Facebook fanpage over in the sidebar. I just blog what I see and like across the innernets in addition to what I like to use to make my life more productive and Apple-filled. And I’ll own up to it: I am an Apple fanboy, through and through. What can ya do other than be who ya are, yes?
I want to apologize to all my subscribers on this blog. My back-again-gone-again relationship with this blog and you all, has been something on par with hollywood celebrity relationships. In the context of social media it amounts to really bad public relations and a hard-to-watch blogger-fail. Like the long scary endless highway wreck scene in Final Destination 2, and you wanna look away but can’t stop watching.
I truly apologize and I won’t make excuses, although I may one legitimate excuse….I guess.
I want to see this! From my young, single male point of view, in my corner of the world (Florida), this is where I am in my life. I need to marvel at something!! …outside of my home, outside of my city, my state my country! I want to get away for a few years.
Can you relate to this book/film’s message in any way? I’d love to hear your perspective.
I have been periodically receiving a number of stories from startups, PR agents and so forth to potentially blog about. I’m extremely excited about this, and so I have my work cut out for me as I’m a bit backlogged. lol
I will be posting some of these stories this weekend and within the coming week, so please watch for them.
Thanks to those who have contributed. I see you, and again thanks.
It has been hard not to hear and see tragic news of the natural disaster that has hit the island of Haiti. Since I live in South Florida, I have a good number of Haitian friends, co-workers, and mutual acquaintances. But since Hurricane Katrina I have been a bit sketchy about which relief organization to donate my money. So when I got an email about the option to donate to the American Red Cross through the iTunes store, I became curious and donated. If you’ve purchased anything from the iTunes store since the this tragedy struck Haiti on January 12, then you’re already well ahead on being able to easily donate to a good cause in under 3 minutes.
1. Basically you go to iTunes and click on the button for American Red Cross Haiti Earthquake Relief Donation (which you can do here by clicking “Earthquake Relief”).
2. Next you can choose the amount that you would like starting from as little as $5.00 to $200.00 dollars.
3. To pay the amount of your chosen donation all you have to do is log in the same way you would when purchasing an app, song, album or movie from the iTunes Store.
4. Confirm your purchase.
5. And voila! You are all done giving a moment of your effort, time and a portion of your hard-earned money to what will benefit a people in need right now.
