The Family Project : My Charity 200 stocks that pay : 200 stocks that pay monthly dividends per share.

Feel free to use it and I'd appreciate feedback and suggestions on how to make it better. Bankaholics.com : A good resource if you're looking for a good online savings account. GetRichSlowly.com : Someone who gives far better advice than me on financial ventures. My Money Blog : Another personal finance blog. A good place to get information about saving and credit cards. | New Music (finally) Wednesday. 5.28.08 3:14 am Music is The Call by Regina Spektor. It’s from the soundtrack to Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. EDIT: Or not... I can't seem to get it to play. Stand By. Weird. Okay, well that didn't work. Must be the song. Anyway, this is Part IV - Morning In May by Ludo. This is an awesome band. Very unique songs and lyrics. (Check out Save Our City. It's about Zombies. Seriously.) Listen carefully to the lyrics of this song. It's so much more touching and sad when you know that this song is part 4 in a series of songs about a guy whose wife died in a car accident. The first 3 are about him traveling in time to get back to save her. Saw Chronicles of Narina: Prince Caspian the other day. It was pretty good. About as good as the first one. And just like the first one, the peripheral characters were much stronger actors than the stars. Those kids just aren’t very good at playing real emotions. The action sequences were very well done. The music and the visual effects were great, and the story was solid. All in all, a good movie that only suffered slightly due to inexperienced child actors and the occasional cheesy line. Also saw Indiana Jones, which was also good. Special effects were amazing (and I include whoever did Harrison Ford’s make-up in that category). A few things I would have done without... such as the horribly unrealistic “flight of the refrigerator”. But what can you do. It’s Indiana Jones. It did have a surprise ending which I wouldn’t have seen coming. I won’t say any more in case some of you haven’t seen it yet. Well, the sale got pushed back a few weeks, so we’ll be leaving the 10th of June, now. It’s a small delay, but it’s still frustrating. Now I’m just hoping I can get a job when I get there. Thankfully Jenn already has one lined up. Comment! (1) | Recommend! My charity Tuesday. 5.20.08 10:21 am I set up a wordpress blog to run my charity from. It's rather bare right now, and I doubt I'll get any donations until I post about a few families, but at least I can start getting traffic and interest about it. I'd appreciate if anyone who visits my blog here could drop by there to increase my traffic. Really appreciate it. And of course if you want to donate, I'll really appreciate that too! Thanks. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can make it better, please let me know. I kinda suck at blogging. The Family Project (I know the name sucks. Project Family was taken already.) Comment!
