Welcome to Joisey!

About Me

I like to knit, do yoga, cook, take photos, drink beer, play pool, and do other things that constitute a good time.

I'm married, 27 years old, and live in Jersey City, New Jersey. My husband and I love it here, right across the river from NYC. He works in Manhattan and I work from home. There is so much to do here, and we enjoy playing pool, going to comedy clubs, eating at restaurants, and having fun. My one wish for 2008 would be that wish some of my friends from Georgia could come up and visit. I would love to show them a good time in New York City.

I try to blog a lot. I used to blog professionally, as in I got paid for it, but these days I just like to keep up with current events and sometimes post my commentary. If you want a link to my other blogs let me know and I'll send it to you.

News, Current Events, Politics, Discussion, Web Design, Development, PHP, CSS, HTML, Business, Management, Strategy, Marketing, the Internet, SEM, SEO, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Web 2.0, Blogging, etc.

Flu

I've been very sick this week with the flu. Sicker than I have been in a long time. Looking back, I realize I shouldn't have flippantly said, "Oh, why should I bother getting a flu shot, I never get t...
