Well I guess one question you are asking is that really me in the picture to the top left, well yes it is. I was laying on my front lawn and my brother snapped my picture. My name is Nakida(Yes that is real too) and I live in beautiful San Diego California and I'd like to share some important thoughts that ramble through my mind from time to time. I didn't want to keep it on something like LiveJournal, I wanted something a little more personal like my own website. So here we are, thought you wanted a little background about me to start off.

I've recently updated my website, so sorry if it looks different, I've been working on coding websites myself and got this simple website going for fun to see what I could do. Who knows what this will look like next year. Anyways if you would like to contact me for some strange reason please do so here. I will also be adding some of my favorite links that you can check out, maybe you'll find something useful as I live in this internet world!

March 12th 2011 Feeling Happy

Well I've been looking into web design and development, and I've noticed that with the internet being so vast we have the ability to learn and do anything we want in this world. I'm not saying anyone can become a surgeon but putting your mind to it anyone can learn anything. Having that ability at your fingertips is amazing, I don't think people actually realize what they can do with todays technology. Want to learn a little about website design yourself try reading this for starters.

I spent some time looking into dreamweaver and html tags, and a few websites later here I go, I create this simple page mind you. But I did it! I'm looking into databases and ASP scripting now to create my own blog rather than using a general module someone else design. I know I'm re-inventing the wheel, but at the end of it I'll know how to build a wheel while you will only be able to use one! So I guess what I'm saying is go out there and learn something you've always wanted to do, don't say I'll do that later because later never comes! Start today and just see where tomorrow brings you.


April 21st 2011 Feeling Confused

Its been awhile since I wrote on here, I'm no further in my ASP update but all is good. I've been so busy with school, I'm in my second year at University. What am I taking? Right now I'm trying a bunch of different courses but I'm leaning towards an English major, with a little computer knowledge.

What has been on my mind the last week are frat parties, I've been to a few and overall had a good time. But I hear so many adults talk about the good old college days and how they miss it, makes me wonder am I appreciating them enough as I get to live them or am I thinking too much about it? I know you are suppose to live in the moment but how does one enjoy the moment if you know one day those moments won't be around no more? Its hard to only live for the now and force yourself to not think about the future in some ways but in then in others where you need to consider the future, you get the idea.

Just wanted to share that, was a weird thought and had to get it out..


April 29th 2011 Feeling Creative

Lost all sense of time and have been writing a novel, I know its a little early to get starting writing so much but hey I have an idea and I'm running with it. It's about vampires, I know with all the hype with Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and other vampire stuff out there already who needs another buffy? But mine doesn't hone in the love or the typical teen crap they show, its more about life and the choices we make and the reasons for doing so. Maybe I'll post a draft of it on here when I'm done, or maybe I'll never finish it will just remain a random thought in my head and an old word document in my computer. But as of today its on my mind and I wanted to share.


May 17th 2011 Feeling Loved

Today is my birthday and while I didn't get the barbie doll I wanted(just an anology), I do feel like the luckiest person alive. I have my health, family, and friends so what more can I ask for? Well of to a party with friends and family, maybe I'll have a better day today but if not I'll still be greatful.


June 3rd 2011 Feeling Dangerous

Was feeling like a mid-life crisis and wanted to do something crazy, like jump out of a perfectly good airplane or something. Which I did! Yes little me got up the nerve to do something so out of character, and isn't that what life is all about. I found some skydiving in San Diego and went and did it last weekend. No it wasn't because of my recent birthday, it was a heat of the moment sort of thing.

While finding this I noticed what else the website has to offer, I guess being a guy this website would be great but I kind of got weirded out about the think people call "Erotic Massages". I never really knew they existed. I guess to each their own but overall it is a pretty well done website that lets you find massage parlors, nightclubs, strip clubs, casinos, and even skydiving and other crazy stuff. Next week maybe I'll go to a strip club, one with guys stripping of course! ;-)


July 4th 2011 Feeling Proud

I know most Americans appreciete and respect our soldiers and on today most of all give them thanks to the freedoms we have and I think sometimes hold for granted. I want to thank all of you for everything you've ever done from being born, signing up to go to war, fighting, coming home alive, or dying in battle. Without every one of you I don't know where this country would be. Thanks.


July 21st 2011 Feeling Serious

I saw this video, it honestly is pretty neat. Maybe one of the best written speeches I've ever scene and proboly one of the oldest I've ever scene. Charlie Chaplen giving the greatest speech ever.


August 15th 2011 Feeling Happy

Summer time is coming close to an end, it has been an amazing ride so far and I've loved every minute. You will never hear me complain about the bad because if we didn't have the bad we would know how good the good felt. If that made any sense the way I wrote it? Well nothing new to tell you or share as I haven't been with the computer much these last few months but I just wanted to say something.


October 2nd 2011 Feeling Tired

I have been crazy with work, still working on that novel I told you about earlier the year but no where near finished. I haven't let anyone read it yet either. Kind of keeping it a secret, well meaning just teasing people about the idea without any actual description. Well back to work I go.
