2009 And New Beginnings

Posted by: Crystal In: Life

So there aren’t any ginormous new beginnings for me really, but I’m starting off the year technically unemployed, actually self-employed. I’ve decided to go full time in business for myself and devote a large chunk of my time into my own business.

Which brings me to my second new beginning, I won’t be writing here very much, not that I have at all. I’m thinking of splitting my time between two blogs. The first one being business related. We’ve dubbed the collaboration Plus 1  (or is it Plus One?). Regardless it’s going to specialize web design and politics, so I’ll be posting on our progress, trips and tricks of the trade, how-to-network and how some twenty somethings manage their lives using the power of the internet.

Why Plus 1? Well on campaigns your goal, obviously, is to win the majority of the vote which is usually “fifty plus one” perecent of the vote. I know it’s technically incorrect since you can win with just 50.3 but I digress. I’m hoping that my skills plus his design skills coupled with some business savvy and networking can really make inroads in progressive politics. Furthermore Plus 1 is bland enough that other businesses won’t be scared of using us for their own websites. So far it’s been pretty successful and I’ve worked pretty hard on this project in the last week everyday with full attention. So I’m hoping to keep it up even if means I have to hide out at Starbucks awhile.

The more personal blog, I haven’t decided to do yet, but Hung and I wanted to start something about ourselves, more relationship focused and maybe dabble some of our interests. I guess we’ve got this notion that we give out pretty good advice and we just want to stroke our egos a bit. This was formulated on the ride to my family’s house for Christmas so obviously it’s not ironed out. Anyway keep your eye out and until then I made a tiny portfolio website for myself: http://crystaltran.net.

And lastly, wooo January 20th, 2009! Inaguration Day!!

Stumbled across my old site and decided to take a look at what yours was doing nowadays. Nice to read a blog and see how much you’ve done with your life since the CS days. Not that I read much lol. Thanks for the hosting still, feel free to take it down if its cramping your style though. I feel ashamed of my old notepad skills in comparison to this site lol. AND OMG HOMTESTAR RUNNER! Hope all is well <3
