| Just a word to the wise here that many of you probably know, but it should be said anyway.
Anything you publish to a blog/myspace/facebook can and will be read by people you may not have intended them for. For instance many college's and universities check myspace and facebook accounts while you are in the application process. So don't publish anything they don't want to see.
Also, the information in these accounts can (AND IS) being accessed by marketing companies. They will use the information to build a database of what your likes and dislikes are such as: race, religion, political affiliation, sexual preference, etc.
Also, the security on these sites are lax. If someone with minimal skills in hacking (and i mean they can read a website and follow the directions) wants to know more information about you such as your schedule that you might publish to your myspace or facebook they can read it and use that information.
So simply put, don't publish anything you don't want read by everyone in the world because chances are if they want to they can.
This isn't meant to scare anyone just inform you all of the risks if you had not realized them yet. =)

| So my therapist told me that I need to start blogging (No, I don't really have a therapist but now you are interested aren't u  ?)
Anyway I've spent a lot of time talking to myself over the past few weeks (yes i know "he has finally cracked" maybe i do need a therapist). And between that and reading my bible I've come to realize something....I've been stalling.
Stalling what? you may ask. Well, the simple answer is Life. **Now before you freak out and ask, "what happened to Jon, and what kinda drug induced EMO sob story am i wasting my time on now?" Stop worrying, this isn't one of those...(no offense to those 
Back to the story... I've realized that I've only been half living. I've put half effort into school, church, work, relationships, etc...stalling
Now we get to the WHY questions (if you are bored, i apologize the end is near)
WHY the half effort?
WHY the stalling?
WHAT am I waiting for? (its my blog i can put a WHAT in the WHY questions if i want)
I've been waiting for a sign. prayed for one, looked for one, read my bible for one, all of it. I wanted some sort of key to success, some sort of message from God saying "here you go, the recipe for your personal success. Do this and you are set."
And guess what? I did get a sign. Oh no not the key to success deal. I got something else...more of a, "BAM here's a punch in the face now WAKE UP!"
And after being knocked out cold for a couple of weeks I slowly began to wake up and, without sounding to cliche, I've started realizing that this life is all i have to offer. And that is the message i wanted to share...
Live your life.
Pretty simple i know, but if you waste it, theres no reset button, no undo key, whats done is done and I promise you will regret it.
So thats it, Go live your life to its fullest potential, Help the needy, be a friend, build something, love your neighbor and your enemy (could be an enemy neighbor?) and most of all live your life to love God.
Now STOP wasting time reading this blog and Do it
