New WordPress Theme installed.
Oh yes, my homey and computer mentor did the kid a favor and worked up this new theme for the Hip Opinion. It’s a theme that any hipster can dig.
That’s right. Don over at UILabs is a professional web and graphic’s designer (as well as programmer) has come up with something I can finally be proud of . He makes a living working on computer and also doing side projects for many local companies for Tulsa web design. He owns the company 🙂
My adventures in finding a suitable theme has been driving me up the wall. How does a kid have time to blog when he’s so busy studying wordpress theme’s and trying to “make” them work.. Tired of it.
I’m still tweaking at as of writing this post but you get the idea… It’s looking good 🙂 FINALLY
Thanks Don at UILabs (User Interface Laboratories) for redesigning my blog. I’m moving to the next level… You know all the A-Lister’s recommend a “professional” theme… I got it…
Ti’s groovy

Quiktrip is the king of convenience stores. I talk to people all the time that are not from the OK area. When they discover QT they are simply amazed.
If you don’t have a Quiktrip in your town your missing out.
I have never seen a better convenience store for all of those goodies with almost no nutritional values. WAIT tho… QT is different…They even have fruit and salad and health drinks. They now offer fresh made sandwiches. They just keep expanding and getting better and better… You dig?
Do I get that healthy stuff?
Hell no… It will take a doctor to tell me that there is very limited time if I don’t change my ways… But even that may not make me go into a health food frenzy. (I love to eat food that’s good) Lunch Time!
I remember back in the day QT used to have “Quittin Time Beer” There would be commercials on the TV with a dog named Lamar to help serve the ghetto sud’s.
I wonder if that brew was better than the “Beast”??? That would be “Milwaukee’s best” in party lingo… Or, I think that’s how it went… Maybe it was Meister Bro’… Hmmm?
Help a brother blogger out huh?
Hell, I don’t want no freakin’ beers anyways.. QuikTrip Rules tho 😀

It’s late night blogging here right after a huge Holiday BBQ brisket (pork,turkey, blogna, hotl links) dinner.
I’m just giving you hipsters a quick little blog post to test scribefire to see how well it’s working these days. I have used this tool before and decided i’d give a little run at it again. With Chrome
Now is it right to be blogging in the middle of the night? Well… Yeah… If you got something to say.
I DON’T *Yawn…G’nite Ya’ll 🙂

I have been blogging since 2003 when blogger first opened and I heard about this new “wave” coming across the Internet. Then I heard about how you can make money blogging. I thought. What the heck? As I studied this further I heard of a guy making “six figures”
Of course I jumped right on in there and started this (and other) blogs.
Now there seems to be TONS of blogs that “teach” you how to become a “professional” blogger. The most famous would be Problogger.com. He comes up right away if you do a search for “blogging” He’s a full time blogger making over $100,000 per year.
Who can argue with success?
I went straight out to a bookstore and slapped down the $30.00 for his book. I learned a few things.. Implemented many of these suggestions on this and another site. I had a lot of fun (like I am now) but only earned about $50.00 and it’s a lot of work, so I slowed down on the blogging and pursued other, uh… Hobbies. (I’ll let you use your imagination)
Now there are 100’s of sites teaching many of the same things that are on the problogger website and book. They all kinda teach the same things.
Examples:
- Write fresh and interesting content
- Use Google (and other) Ad’s
- Network on Facebook, Twitter etc..
- Decorate your posts with pictures, video etc
- Use a “professional” theme (or one that looks like it)
- Always be focused on a “niche”
Yea, yea…Whatever… All these sites are basically writing the same thing. How to “build a better blog” and make money with it. They are called the “A” list. And I have learned a lot from them. I have posted a comment here and there on their sites… No reply.. Why would they want to talk to a guy that’s just writing complete nonsense anyways? Ya know… (worthless opinions)
Then there’s this cat named “Griz” He has a totally different view of how to make money online. He is kinda radical and tends to bag on the “A” list dudes. He has a free blogger site up and claims he can now work a few hours a week and then play golf the rest of the time.
I enjoy following his blog but he doesn’t post much… He’s out on the golf course… You dig?
Now, in my search again, I came across a bloke who explains how it’s REALLY done. On his blog he reveals 3 secrets to a popular blog. Hey now, I can dig it. I have kinda tried #3 for awhile. (It’s one of Griz’s methods) But I don’t want to work as hard as he did.. I just want to post wacky stuff in my “niche” – Opinion. And like everybody… I got an opinion on EVERYTHING.

Disneyland. The place where dreams come true. But what if ya want drink? Mom and dad may want to tie one on after all… Relieve a little stress of Mickey and the crew… You dig?
It’s been suggested that there is a “private club” inside Disneyland where that is actually happening.. My understanding is you have to be a “member” to get a drink in there…What gives?
If I were a drinking man and was having a hot day waiting in long lines I might want to stop off somewhere and down a few pints of Guinness to “take the edge” away from a potentially stressful day.
Hey now… It’s a small world after all…Right?
