The Darkest Evil

On Friday, I was officially 20 years old and I’m kind of in awe about that. Honestly, I’m still wondering how I made it this far without going completely insane, becoming completely anti-social (only partially anti-social) or losing my way. It kind of gives you an odd feeling inside that maybe I should have done more with my life. But looking at this logically, I have done a pretty fair amount with my life, which is something that I was not truly expecting. But now, I am drafting a plan for what I want to do with my life from here on out. There are a few things happening in my life which are kind of hush hush, but I am leaving around little hints and clues as to what they are around the net. However, I believe in honesty and I believe in truth. And I believe that I should tell you all what I am planning to do really soon.

Complete restructuring of my professional life - I am restructuring my freelance web design business (Rexanni) so that, in the near future, I can include print design and application development/design into the offering of services by Rexanni. While I am developing products right now which may not allow me to see immediate financial benefits, I am working to make all the sites that I am working on become profitable. Soon, we plan to sell THL.org premium memberships and t-shirts/other merchandise that people might like. This means that I have to start trying to reduce the cost in the payment processes because PayPal can be a pain in the ass about that, so I am looking to start finding a way to accept credit cards. And to do this, I’m going to have to rely on an Authorize.net payment gateway provider like Dharma Merchant Services. This means that I have to legally register Rexanni, LLC here in Texas as well (until I move out to Canada).

Complete reorganization of everything I own - I’m not an organized person and I truly admit this. My room is a hell hole, my files on my computer lack a true method of organization at times and the categories of my blog result in ugly permalinks. I am planning to move the blog over to a new domain name, create custom 301 redirections to where the posts will be, move Mint over and do a lot of other things so my new blog will be much cleaner to access. I’ve also toyed with the idea of continuing to post here while fading out of activity here and posting more and more at my new blog. But I do not truly believe that the blog title “The Darkest Evil” fits who I am, who I was nor who I want to be in the future. It was an inside joke that, with the benefit of hindsight, makes me look like a complete and evil jerk - even if some of the content is harmless and innocent. So, I need to find a way to transition my content, pagerank and other resources over to a new domain because I just finally started making money with Text Link Ads.

There are other things I need to do before my life can improve, but I have to do all these tasks one agonizing process at a time.
