Only a couple more days until the big guy comes down and gives us lots of goodies! I thought it was time for a change around here and I finally was able to find a new look that seems nice and pleasing. Hope you enjoy it too!
I will hopefully be adding more content soon after the Holidays. Feel free to let me know what you think of the new look!
So, I totally ripped this from a year old post on Elemoose’s blog. It sounded fun, and I’m bored.

Hard to believe the holidays are already here. Its all good though, means lots of good things. I have already started my annual holiday movie watching. I went out and bought a few holiday classics and even got to go see Fred Claus today (very good I think for a holiday flick).
Turkey day is this week, which also means some shorten weeks for some. Not really for me, the nature of my job and of my field really in journalism means I don’t get holidays off all the time. I do get Thanksgiving off but unlike most people I don’t get the day after off or really even the day before. Its all good though since we shouldn’t be busy at all right now at work. An auto show just ended so we might even be slow until next year (weird to say that already) when the Detroit show hits.
Another cool thing about this week is this website. I won’t be unrolling any new design or anything special but this site will be celebrating its 5th birthday on Thanksgiving. Yup, just five short years ago I decided to open this site on a Thanksgiving night, things were a lot different back then but not a whole lot has really changed over the years.
That’s a bit of what is going on in my neck of the woods this week. Hopefully I will be able to look back at the last few years of this website this week too. Kinda weird to think that I have owned this site for that long already. Not a bad investment I will say. Something I definitely plan on keeping open for years to come if I can help it.
Enough said huh? Kinda funny but kinda stupid at the same time.
I will admit, I kind of wanted to see it happen. A comedian, someone who pokes-fun of the political process, to run and win a presidential campaign. Not because of the state we are in but because it would be interesting to see someone with a staff of witty writers go to the White House and help a President deal with whatever it is he deals with on a daily basis.
Yes, Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert won’t be the next President of the United States but it does make me wonder what would be worse these days? A lady that most hate? A black man that no one really knows? A guy that helped out in the 9/11 craziness? I don’t really know.
I am still waiting on the day that we vote for a guy (or gal) that isn’t associated with either Republican or Democrats. That will be the day I think that really shows that enough people have woken up in American to show that they really care about the government and what goes on in Washington. We get screwed more times than not by our leaders but we never seem to do enough about it though.
The dream for Colbert was fun, his shows were more interesting during his time of ‘campaigning’. My vote is still very much undecided at the moment for 2008, and that isn’t a bad thing at all I guess right now.
So, I am trying to figure out what to do with this site these days. The email I have with it is flooded with junk daily (new email is drew.epperley@gmail.com) and I haven’t spent nearly as much time on this thing due to me not being too fond of my web host and how they have things set up for me.
So I think it is that time of year around here where I pack things up and move to a new web host. I think at least that is the plan. I am not worried about the email being flooded, it is long passed the point of even trying to save it from being getting as much spam as it does. I don’t know how on earth it got to be that bad but I can point at least some blame to my web host who has given me horrible service on the email help.
Anyways, not to complain too much here about them, they were cheap so I guess I got what I paid for and also this domain (epp6.com) is paid for already through the end of 2008, so I have to keep it regardless and just get new service.
What does this mean though? Not a lot, I will move this site and pay for new hosting service and try to be better about updating it. Which, come this November and December is looking like an easy thing to do since I will be more settled into things and will want to post more photos online here. Hopefully I can get my photos page working better again.
More updates to come when the time comes but expect within the next couple weeks for this site to be on the moooove!
Also I forgot, I finally put up Michael and Jennifer’s wedding photos online. I know its like four months too late but still, better late then never I suppose.
Anyways, here is the link for them. I couldn’t use my fancy photo program like with my other photos because it is messed up somehow. Just click the link and go through the photos that way!
Yes, a little update never hurt. I (finally) got a job this week. I am a sales representative with bluefishtv! Should be a good job to have while I continue to hunt for something in radio and writing. I figure it will be a good start and a good place to get some money saved up. Plus its a pretty cool company I think.
Also, I am doing some side work with the Dallas Morning News in their sports department. Just some data clerk work really for now. Hopefully I can move on up there in the future.
I will come back later with more updates on how the job is going and all. I may actually, fully update this site all over soon. It needs a redo.
I know, I know. Its been since May that I last wrote something on this wonderful site of mine. I am sorry for the long delay, I am currently in Dallas looking for a real-world job. Yeah. Its been a tough thing but I feel that I am close to landing something full time here real soon. I have had a couple interviews over the past couple weeks. Some went alright and others I wish I hadn’t taken the time to go to. I still have another interview tomorrow with KRLD here in Dallas. Hopefully this is the last interview I go on in a while and get a job. That would be lovely. So keep me in your prayers as I go out in the real world and try to live life.
Cheers,
-Drew
PS. Once I do have a job I will let ya know. Plus I will try to take some time in the near future and actually post some graduation and other photos from this summer like my brother’s wedding and things like that.
Yeah, school is done and work is almost done here in Morgantown. The age old question about the job situation post-WVU for me is still going on. Things are looking up, I felt it would go this way towards time for graduation. Jobs are opening up all over more so now than a couple months ago. So that is comforting to a degree and it is just a matter of time before something is in line.
These things take time but something will come up and everyone will know of it. Until then keep praying about it along with me!
Other than school ending and job hunting there is no real news going on to report. Been kinda boring around these parts recently really. But summer is around the corner, as well as Mikey and Jennifer’s wedding in June.
