As I said before, my cousin Amy made the big move to Tennessee. She’s recently divorced and starting a new life. For the time being she is working for me, helping me with the day to day operations of my business. She’s slowly but surely getting herself back together but she’s horribly in debt. She’s working diligently to get her life back on track and is using a service to help her with debt negotiation.

Amy is going through debtconsolidation.com, a company with many different programs to help people in a financial bind. Soon she will be back on her own two feet again. In the meantime, I am really enjoying having a new assistant.

Last weekend I couldn’t resisting running off to the movie theater to see Iron Man. As a fan of comics, I think some super hero movies are really bad, mainly because they don’t always use the source material very well. Case in point, Venom in Spider-Man 3.  But I will have to say Iron Man rocked. Robert Downey JR was a perfect Tony Stark. The supporting cast was great as well and this came as a relief because I really wasn’t too thrilled with the Iron Man animated movie. Mainly because I didn’t like what they did with Mandarin,  they totally butchered his character.  This not the case with the live action film, it was great!

With Amy here helping me with the day to day operations, I’ve decided to continue with my computer education. Since I still don’t have enough time to actually enroll in school per se. I decided to do a study at home course from Quickcert, that way I can learn at my own pace while still working full time. The course that I’m taking is for CEH Certification (Certified Ethical Hacker).

A close friend of mine has his certification and makes around $70k per year. Not bad for something you can learn from home. Not that I’m quite ready to leave the entertainment industry, but It’s something I can use in my day to day life and certainly something good to fall back on. Once I finish this course, I plan on taking more at my leisure. There’s a lot to learn that could really help me solve my own tech problems instead of having to pay someone else to fix them.

It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been rather busy lately with the out of town job and getting Amy situated and all. But alas life is good, Amy is working out great and it’s freed up my time a bit to work on other things, like going to see Iron Man, btw was awesome. I suppose I’ll do a review in a bit.
