Back from my hiatus
I’m sorry that I had to go into a hiatus. I needed to take a little break so I could be 100% sure to avoid saying something bad and untrue about Becca. Truth be told, she’s a wonderful woman and any man would be happy to have her. But, the distance between us was just too great and she couldn’t take it anymore. I can understand and respect her for that, but that doesn’t mean I’m too happy about this. But I am going to try to avoid online dating and even if that is so, I am only going to date people in my locality. This way, I can avoid a lot of heartbreak.
But yeah, I am back from my hiatus. I’m going to start my series on Macintosh Power Toys tomorrow and my miniseries that I’ve been meaning to do about why things about some people’s blogs suck. And of course, this means I will start getting back to work on my other projects such as The Hatelistings.org and SociallySweeter. Plus, I have a couple of other secret projects that are being kept hush hush. I’d tell you what they are in this post, but where would the fun be in that? Don’t worry though, you will probably love them when they get out. After all, it is developed by my company, 15art.
And for the time being, I am going to have no choice but to stay in the United States until I can get a permanent visa for another country. I am strongly considering moving to the United Kingdom but I have also thought about living in the Netherlands as well. After all, I hear that both countries are mostly English speaking but the Netherlands still has a requirement that I know how to speak Dutch. This means I have to raise around $500,000 (also £250,000 or €375,000) to make certain immigration authorities look at my application favourably. In fact, the Irish government wants me to have €300,000 to start a business in Ireland. The UK wants me to have £200,000 for a business as well. So this means I really have to raise a lot of money to get into the UK or the Netherlands.
The only problem is that my current bank does not have a foreign currency exchange programme. Yeah, I couldn’t get a bank account at Wells Fargo due to my sucky credit rating. Also, Washington Mutual does not have currency exchange services. And of course, opening a foreign bank account is going to be hell in a handbasket. Generally, banks are very wary about giving bank accounts to foreigners. This was the case in Canada and I was very lucky that CIBC would give me a chequing account.
So, I am back and I am ready to start blogging! And my resolve to bring all the 15art properties online as soon as possible has never been stronger. That is why I am going to be announcing the release date of all the websites in the 15art network within the next month. I hope you enjoy what I am doing.

I’m so sorry to hear about Becca, thats must be so hard and so hurtful, my heart goes out to you. I know a lot of people can say you’ll get over it and all, and even though it’s true. Do what you need to do to make yourself happy, whatever paths you take, I wish you the best. Good luck with all the projects you have in the working
