Before getting into the real topic, I wanted to give all my ‘fans’ and viewers two thumbs up, one from me and one from my monkey hat LOL. Okay…

So, I decided that I’d REALLY focus on school for this last semester and try to reach my true intellectual potential. With that being said, however, it’s obvious that some things may have to give… This is why I’ve decided to slow down my interaction with the blog.

I know I’m already not the most consistent poster, but imagine how much time it takes to actually post multiple stories a day on a blog? A lot! What my main goal was, was to set up a personal blog that lets people into my life to fully understand and appreciate my likes and dislikes; and therefore, the point of this blog, in essence, is to post quality stories that grant this sort of access.

I think that I’ve accomplished all of my goals for TRENDYBLACKGUY in the past year, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. However, I know that blogging, at this point in my life, simply cannot be my main focus. I will, though, continue to try to make 2-3 posts per week, and with that approach I’m sure that my posts will be higher quality!

It’s a good old saying that sometimes quality is more important than quantity, and I intend to show everyone who visits and will visit my blog that this saying holds a lot of truth.

Love ya’ll,
Junior

TRENDYBLACKGUY was down for a bit in the past day and half because of a host change. I’ve been dealing with this HostMonster crap for a whole year now, and now that it’s time for renewal, I’m out! I’m glad to welcome in Host Gator for the new year, yessssss…

I’m not making enough money yet to be able to justify paying $1000 a year for a dedicated server, so I had to go with a cheaper host, which was $100 a year on average. I initially chose HostMonster, and it was okay but it wasn’t really THAT great. I’m not one to bad mouth any service, but let me go through my three main grievances:

1. HostMonster (HM) seems like it wasn’t built to handle the memory hogging WordPress at all. I shouldn’t complain too much because there isn’t much to expect from a cheaper shared host, but I mean come on. Most blogs these days are run on WordPress or something similar in memory demands; you’d think that HM would want to cater to the demands of most of its users.

2. HostMonster doesn’t have great options to upgrade your hosting services. In fact, HM has no options at all! I’ll applaud the fact that they use cPanel, which is awesome, but realizing that if I ever wanted to upgrade to a dedicated server I couldn’t that raised some flags. It is my fault, however, for not understanding that a year ago before I started my blog, so I can’t say this grievance of mine is really their fault.

3. HostMonster was VERY rude to me via Live Chat when I asked for assistance. This is what really made me say, “Okay, I’m leaving this lame ass service once 2010 rolls around.” I had called them some time ago about the server going down and dude on the Live Chat was trying to tell me it was my fault like HM never goes down. Dude actually said, “well maybe it’s because your blog is so image heavy.” I was like, “I have about 8 images on the main page, that wouldn’t cause the site to load in 8 seconds.” Anyway, they lost a customer.

Now I’m on Host Gator, which gives me the ability to upgrade to a dedicated server in the future and can handle WordPress very well. Also, I’ve already used their customer service and they were very helpful and NICE. Damn HostMonster… keep treating people like that and you’ll eventually lose all your customers.

LOL @ me thinking that I actually make a difference, though. I’m sure they’ll keep most of their customers anyway because, well, that’s just how life works sometimes. Whatever, I’m happy now!

First, I’m EXTRA HYPED that I got these TRENDYblackguy business cards done. They came out REALLY nice, and the front is laminated. I’m super cheap right now, so big ups to Overnight Prints for the 250 business cards for free (shipping was $10) deal.

Check out the design (designed it myself):

Next up, the city of Boston. Well, don’t get me wrong… I love NY, but Boston is a nice city. Me and two of my friends from NY caught up with a friend we grew up with that went to Boston University. Since we’re all college graduates this year, we decided to hang out.

Here’s a list of places we chilled at:

Red Sky
