Redgage/Gather

I have been all over redgage and gather posting and posting and posting that I have totally neglected my wordpress blog and this blogger blog.

I guess because there is no monetary incentive to posting blogs here..

Then again, it's not like I'm bringing in the big bucks by posting stuff on there..

On Redgage, I have about $.20 collected from views of the stuff that I've posted. It's hard to get started on getting an active viewer base.. as is with any blog or website.. it's a slow beginning..

I have problems concentrating on a specific subject I should write about and sometimes the creative energy just isn't there to make a good posting on those sites.. as is with any blog or website I have.. I am just not creatively "on the ball" all the time..

On Gather.. I've got about 800+ points.. which I am trying to accumulate enough to get a $25 gift card to Amazon.com. I know that the more stuff I post.. the more points I get.. but again.. the creativity is just not there all the time..

Also.. with having to concentrate on school work.. it's hard to find time to really dive into the websites and get enough people to view my stuff..

Gotta keep on pushing.. I guess..

Extra dough

Extra money is always a good thing.. but I really don't have time to get an extra job.. so I found ways to make some extra money while doing the things I love.. going on the internet.. blogging.. yadda.. yadda..

I've found two great websites that have helped me with this extra money..

Redgage
This site allows you to post blog entries, pictures, links and stuff.. and it gives you money based on how many people view your stuff.. you get more money the more people view your stuff and leave comments for them. It encourages you to write good content... and to be interactive with others as well..

Gather
It's similar to Redgage, but it's based on a points system and these points can be redeemed for paypal payments.. or gift cards. I use this place to get target gift cards.. it' saves me money on everyday necessity shopping. They recently revamped their points system, so everyone's getting used to the way it works.. and my points seem to be accumulating a little faster than before.. so we'll see how well this works..

Shenanigans..

Fourth of July weekend was full of fun.. heat.. and heat..

It was HOOOOOT!

The thing I noticed about San Diego though.. was it blaring hot in the morning.. not as hot as the I.E.. but it was hot enough to complain about the heat.. but by 5ish in the early evening.. the cool breeze kicks in.. and then I'm freezing by 9pm..

Seriously?

Being from the Inland Empire.. the middle of the desert.. heat is something I'm used to in the summer.. but what I love most about summers here is that the heat last throughout the day.. and leaves a comfortable evening where I don't have to bring a sweater.. and I can still be in my shorts.. and not feel any cold..

That is why I didn't bring a sweater with me this weekend because I wasn't thinking that the weather down there would be any different..

I don't think I like that it gets cold at night there..

I like the comfort of Inland Empire summer nights.. ahh.. nice.
