Themes
I am just now investigating Tumblr themes and noticing how many truly nice ones there are. However, it strikes me they are white backgrounds.
I am toying with the idea of cleaning up and releasing my theme to Tumblr themes for others to use. Would there be any interst?

Dream Job
I just got the job I an interviewing for today… in my dream.
It was a nice dream, I got there an hour early, changed into nice clothes, talked with some of the other guys who worked there and was going to be about 4 minutes late to the actual interview.
Then the interviewer walked in and said I had the job and they’d mail me the offer letter this week.
With that, I left and walked...

I just created a new website that I’m pretty happy about called Is My Computer On. It’s a new tool that anyone can use for free as long as they have a computer with internet access. You can use the site to determine whether or not your computer is on and it’s easy to remember the name in case you need it in the future: http://www.ismycomputeron.com/

Right, except its demographics would be a bit skewed.
There would be no children and no elderly.
Half of the population would be dead, flopped over in their houses, with nobody noticing or caring. But they’re still counted in the census!

I can't read it anymore

As funny as I find the JonasSecrets blog, I can’t read it anymore. It’s too sad. Too many girls thinking that one of these guys is their one true love, and that if they can’t be with him, they are worthless. Too many secrets saying they cry themselves to sleep over it or they cut themselves. I just don’t understand how people let themselves be so hateful toward their own...
