I know I have not been posting much and I apologize, I have been really busy! However today I wanted to talk a little bit about life. Blogging is great but not enough people are talking about life on the net.

This post is sort of inspirational / motivational so I hope you like it.

Good news is that I am back with my girlfriend, you remember the one I was totally in love with and then was a jerk to and am now back with because she is understanding? Yeah that one

Well through that whole process of getting back with her something struck me, when I was dating her before I never simply stopped and made a memory, remembering the smells, the touches, the perfect smile etc…

Since starting to date again I have begun doing this, I just close my eyes and make a memory of the senses. Then I write down what we did on a quick note in my iPhone. After a year or so I plan to take all these notes and read through them with her and we can remember the amazing times we have had.

I want to encourage you all to get away from the computer, just go out and make a memory whether that’s with a loved one or a great friend! Just do it and take those pictures and make notes! You only live this life one time but its so worth living if your attitude is right and you remember it all!

Enjoy it guys, its worth the journey!

For all of my long time readers you have probably noticed there have been no new posts from me in some time.

I have been very busy at my now full-time job along with my beautiful girlfriend who keeps me pretty busy (blame her not me), when I have time I post about myself and her on my personal blog www.shannonlilly.com (check it out).

In regards to updates and whats up with IBB and where its going…

While I love blogging I am pretty busy so I don’t know when I will be posting new MMO related posts. My time is taken up with my newest project PixelForLife where me and a friend create photoshop and webdesign related tutorials.

We are marketing through YouTube and already have 500 subscribers!

So I guess the best I can say is… Stay tuned for the comeback when I have time!

So today I decided to make a video for IBB thanking all of my readers (you), I am very blessed to have you all as readers to my blog and I hope I can continue to bring useful content to you for years to come! Obtaining readers has been a tough journey to say the least and everyone of you is special to me, if there is ever anything you need or want my email box is always open to you! I check every email and always reply so send me a letter even if its just to say hi!

I saw a few of you commented on my mac post yesterday about seeing pics of the mac laptop (I’m writing on it right now) so I decided to video it and hopefully you all enjoy it! So far I really like the mac laptop, especially since I got a wireless mac bluetooth mouse for it, along with video editing on it (the video below) I have fully loved my experience with it so far.

I just love Apple products and now I have the laptop a desktop and an iphone, what other apple products am I missing out on?

Note: I am considering opening my blog audience some and starting to do some more product reviews (laptops, devices, phones etc) would you all be interested in that or should I focus on MMO only topics? It really is up to you all!

With that I just wanted to say thank you once again for being a reader of my blog!

This is the first official post I am making here on IBB with my new Mac Laptop!

I purchased the lap top so I can blog on the go, eventually I want to get wireless net for it but till I do I will just use it for some gaming and for videos!

I love it so far but only time will tell if it was really worth it or not, whats some cool spots with free wifi I can go to and blog from?

Today is a little strange for me, I am actually encouraging you NOT to work! That’s right, today is your day to sit back, relax and drink lemonade (unless your on a diet like me so its water with lemons for me).

OK so we all work A TON in our lives, lets just look at my past 30 days, I have worked 4/10 hr days for the last month, that’s 160 hours of work! That’s so much work that life can become stressful and we all need to learn to aleve stress.

I recently came across Volleyball, although its a sport and actually tires me out to play, its so fun that I don’t even mind. I think if we all found more hobbies we would enjoy life better, granted I understand when you have a family to feed taking time for yourself seems impossible but I hope you at least try to squeeze 30 minutes a day for yourself to do whatever you want to do!

Maybe thats painting, designing or playing a sport, whatever it is I encourage you to give it a go for atleast 30 minutes a day. I think after awhile you will become more productive because you will get your mind off things and in turn think of ideas you would have never had before.

Here is a video of me and my gang playing volleyball last night! Can you spot where I am at on the court?

Am I posting to much?

To Little?

Should I spread all these postings out over a 12 hr span like one every few hours?

What are your thoughts, I want to know please leave a comment on this post!

My bill this month was just over $70 granted I do have an Iphone 3g and its mandatory to have the Data plan which is $30.00 /mo. I wish they had a limited data plan because I barely use the internet on it and I really got the Iphone so I could have a mp3 player, play same games, talk and txt occasionally.

With that said I feel the bill is still way to high, I barely use the phone and I only make calls to my family which are all free mobile to mobile anyhow.

What about you all? Do you think the cell-phone bills are getting out of hand? I wish it was about half the price it is and I know its possible because Skype calls are $9.95 worldwide through the pc… My plan is to stick with the cell-phone as I don’t currently have a land line and I use my cell as my normal phone (which is not much trust me).

Obviously its tough to take time off from such a great blog like this but I really need the time off and at this point I have not missed it so much because keeping up with you all is extremely tough.

It would help if you guys would comment more on the blog.. And that brings me to my first important news subject, the page rank update.

If you all kept track when IBB was down about 3 weeks ago we had lost our page rank entirely. Then all of a sudden last week we went back to a page rank of 4! This made me really happy because I am hoping it will encourage you all to comment more since its a good strong pr link from me to you.

I have already noticed 4 or 5 more comments since the pr went up and I had not even said anything to you all yet . I find it a bit strange that the pr updated like that in the middle of the cycle but I am happy about it!

Next on the list of stuff to talk about is the fact that I am taking time off, I would gladly come back but I am still wondering if I should even continue to run IBB. Not that I don’t love doing it but at this point the blog is not making enough income for me to keep it going, not when I can make 2-500 a shot building sites through my new SitesWeDo company.

Its not even really about the money, its more about you guys and if you all would become more active by commenting and telling others to signup to our blog then I could start releasing some kick butt content that all of you would want… I cant do that though without some motivation and all of you are my motivation.

Well that about sums it up, think about what I said and if you want me to bring some cool stuff to you then you need to help out and start commenting and telling others to join this blog! There I said it now go do it!

In return for that work we now have over 700 rss readers to our blog and we are totally stoked about it! If you were thinking of advertising on our blog now is the time to do it! Don’t wait because our prices will be going up soon.

I hope you all are doing well and I will be back to post on IBB soon but I just need a break to get some stuff sorted out in my life and to get my web business at SitesWeDo.com going. If you have any design work you need done then please don’t hesitate to contact me as we would love to take on your project today!
