A Quick Update for My Blog...

Boy, it has been a couple of weeks since I last wrote a post for my blog.

I've been rather busy with work and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Hiking Updates

Back on Saturday, November 5, 2022, I went on an impromptu hike along the Waterfront Promenade at the Inner Harbor here in Baltimore, MD. As a result of that hike, there is a small list of items that I need to accomplish:

• I NEED to upload the photos from hikes from my cell phone onto my computer.
• I NEED to write a trail review over at the Alltrails.com website for the recent hikes I went on at Leakin Park-Gywnns Falls and the second hike I undertook at the Waterfront Promenade.
• I NEED to either re-write and/or expand my trail reviews for the recent hikes at Leakin Park-Gwynns Falls and at the Waterfront Promenade hikes to my blog here at Blogger.
• I NEED to add some additional photos from all of my completed hikes to my blog.
• Another idea that occurred to me was to look for a way display all of my photos either on my blog here at Blogger or use a website such as Flickr.
• I just accomplished making screenshots of the trail routes for my second and third hikes at Leakin Park-Gwynns Falls as well as my second hike at the Waterfront Promenade, so I need to add those to their respective pages.

Other Posts for My Blog

I also need to get cracking on all of the additonal subjects that I would like to publish to my blog.

• For example, I need to work on my post about the movies that I saw at the Cine Core Theater in Seoul, South Korea.
• That post will require A LOT more planning and work to get the post just how I want it.
• Rewrite the post using the mind map that I created as a guide.
• Get any additional photos for the movies that I saw at the Cine Core Movie Theater.
• Get the URLs from You Tube for the videos that I want to include in the post, such trailers and music videos.
• Another topic for my blog will be about Wendell Odom's series of blogposts about career planning for CCNA.
• I have watched several other South Korean movies since returning to watching them after an absence of several years. I've seen some really good South Korean films as well as a couple of duds. I have quite a few ideas on how to approach the subject of movie reviews. Simply, I want to write more than just movie reviews.
• I'm still playing Go. Using a 13x13 grid board and a two stone handicap, I managed to get as high as a 21kyu rank on The Many Faces of Go computer game on my computer.

I have high expectations for my blog. Given my knowledge about HTML, my expectations for my blog might be too high.

However, I am going to keep trying.

Eventually, I will get my blog to where I want it to be.

Neglecting My Blog...

It's been a while since my last update here on my blog.

Probably too long.

Lately, I have been extremely with my job at the IT Tier 1 help desk at the Social Security Administration here in the Greater Baltimore area. My job takes up A LOT of my time. Even though I work the 12:30 PM to 9:00 PM shift, occasionally I will get a phone call at 8:45 PM from a user that wants to know why they cannot log into Outlook or why they cannot connect to VPN, for example. Over the past few months, I have been getting really bad tension headaches during work. The location of my headaches never changes. It's always in the same place. Sometimes taking aspirin will neutralize the headache; sometimes it doesn't. As a result, I have to decompress for at least one hour or so.

Anyway, there are all kinds of posts that I would like to post on to my blog.

1. Photos from Oktoberfest.
2. Photos from my recent hikes here in Baltimore.
3. A final version about movies that I saw at the Cine Core movie theater in Seoul, South Korea using the mind map that I created.
4. My adventures in studying for CCNA.
5. My adventures in looking for my next IT job.
6. Why I am behind on my reading.
7. A few posts about the music that I am listening to.
8. Posts about trying to use mind maps in my daily life.
9. Posts about me trying to learn the Law of Attraction.
10. Posts about my computer beating me up in Go.

I am sure that I can come up with even more additional topics that I would like to add to my blog. For now, that is enough.

I want my blog to be something more than yet another blog on the internet that no one reads.

The only way to achieve the goals I have for this blog is to, er, do more blogging.

The look of my blog will get better as I get more confident with using HTML. I have an idea for creating a table on my blog, so one may show up on my blog in the near future. We'll see.

Since there are other things that I need to do, that's probably all that I will write for today.
