Woo. Happy birthday, May the first.
Ugh.

I've got a couple of good things, and a couple of bad things.

First, the good: I'm creating a site right now, and it will be opening very soon. It's an interesting experiment, and if it works, I may expand, though I'll need to learn more about servers and computers, especially coding. Also, life is going okay. I might go and check out a movie tommorrow, and play some DDR at the theatre, if I'm in the mood for a drive and a flick(I really like the setlist on the theatre's machine).

Bad news. I've been checking up on a few things I left sit on the web, and none of it is looking good. I've probably got a few long-distance phonecalls to make, and I'll need to have a chat with a local agency about overseas issues. I'm waiting on some pretty vital emails, as well.
My calender is keeping me fairly busy, too.

Anyway, tommorrow promises to be busy; I've got a big job ahead of me too, but I don't mind it in the least; If my little project works out alright, I'll be able to start my own business, though it will take some time and a lot of effort. Speaking of which, I should probably get on that; It won't write itself.

The first part is free, and will be available before May 2nd. Contact me for the link; I'm watching for prying eyes right now.
Oh, and because I love you guys, here's a teaser;

He tasted blood; again. Trying to get to his feet, one of the older boys pushed him back down onto his stomach, and knelt on his back.
"What've ye got here, Inky?" The puppy barked and backed away. Dirik grabbed it's rope leash, drawing it tight. "Some mutt? I wonder what sorry lot you got this runt out of, eh? At least you two go together well, a runt and a runt." Sneering, Dirik grabbed a stick. "Maybe it'll play fetch?" He whipped the stick into the dog's side, eliciting a yelp.
"No! Stop it, leave him alone!"

"I'm sorry, what was that, Inky? I don't believe I 'eard you!" Dirik laughed.
"Dirik, I think we've 'ad enough fun wi' Inky here. Weren't we to go fishin'?" Asked Jed. "We got to be back afore dark, and me Mam said she'd cook what we caught."

"Wot, just up an' stop? No no, lads, the fun's just beginning." He took another swing at the puppy, and another. Tears rolled down Jereth's face, but he couldn't move. The puppy had backed away at each lash, and Dirik kept pulling the rope in tighter and tighter. With a growl, the puppy lunged forward and bit into Dirik's leg. With a yelp of his own, Dirik dropped the leash and stick. "Ow, ooh, get it offa me! Get it offa me!" Shaking his leg furiously, he shook the puppy off. It shook it's head, dazed, then started to walk away. "I'll teach you a lesson, you lil' mongrel!" He grabbed a folding knife out of his pocket, and flipped it open. Stepping on the rope leash, Dirik brought the puppy closer to him...

And that's where the teaser ends, folks. Sorry about cliffhanging you. You can get the whole story later. Watch for it. And no, I don't condone violence against animals.
