Summer Ramblings

by Bud on June 15, 2009

First lets take care of some business shall we?

New Theme:

If you haven’t noticed ( you’d be crazy if you haven’t), my blog has been completely redesigned.  The design was done by David Wright (better known as Blogger Dad.) He also runs the blog I Draw Comics as well as coauthors the blog Collective Inkwell. Not only does the design look professional but it’s simplicity stands out and fits my blog perfectly. I can honestly say he is Thesis master.

David specializes in Thesis design, so if you’re looking for a wonderful custom Thesis design, I can happily recommend him. You can contact him here.

This design is here to stay and I couldn’t be happier with the way it looks. If you’re reading this, thanks again David it was a pleasure working with you.

Graduation:

Now for something even more important:

As of last Thursday, I officially entered the transition between being a senior in high school and a freshman in college. I will be attending Mizzou this fall.

Aside from the many goodbyes I’ve had to say over the past few days, I couldn’t be happier. Graduation was sweet :-D

Summer Plans:

I expect my summer to be very busy.  Starting the 20th my friend from Texas will be visiting followed by another buddy of mine on the 26th. The three of us are like brothers so I’m excited to see them. It’s the first time either of them have been out of the country (USA), so it will be interesting to see how they react to the wonderful city of Shanghai.

Not only are my two friends visiting, my summer to do list is almost over flowing. I have a bunch of projects I wish to start, as well as about two dozen books I wish to read. Because I’ll be doing a lot of reading, you can expect I will have a lot of material to contemplate and reflect on , which means more blog posts! I also plan on setting a week or two aside, to finally go through my photoreading course.

Because one of my buddies also likes to meditate, we might also take a quick trip into the Chinese mountains. It should be fun. 8-)

Although I’ve been in Shanghai for two years, I have yet to visit Beijing so that’s definitely something me and my friends will do. If time permits we might also take a quick trip to Hong Kong. I expect to be doing a lot of traveling,  so that means a lot of pictures. :-o

My friends will be staying with me until July 9th so we will have plenty of time for some fun.

The Future of A Boundless World:

Although I’ll be busy traveling with my friends, you can still expect to see two or three posts a week. And if you find me slacking off I expect to see some emails holding me accountable. I take this blog very seriously.

Over the next few months I plan on writing  an e-book, one that I know my loyal fans will love. Pull out your credit card and toss it aside because this beauty won’t cost a thing.

I’m super excited to be bringing you such a powerful e-book  that I know will be of tremendous benefit too you. As I’m of right  now it’s still in the planning stages but If you have any suggestions for topics you’d like to see covered in the e-book, just head over to the contact page and let me know.

As of right  now it looks like the title will be :

A Boundless World
Consciously Creating
The Life of Your Dreams

I will be putting a lot of time and effort into the making of this free e-book over the next few months and I know you will find it valuable. Many e-book’s today are drowned in hype and filler, but I can safely say my e-book will not be fluff free.

Not only am I working on the e-book, I also expect to be doing a few interviews with some top notch personal development bloggers to give you a more complete perspective of the topics this blog discusses. If you would like to be interviewed for A Boundless World just send me an email through the contact page.

Over the next few months I also plan on ramping up my guest posts to get my name and my blog out into the bloggersphere. The infancy stage of this  blog is no more. :-D If you would like me to contribute a guest post or interview send me an email.  Provided your blog has more than a handful of readers I’m likely to comply.

Although  I won’t be on the computer as much as I normally am,  I will still read your comments and respond to your emails daily.

Because the conversations with my friends tend to be highly philosophical, expect my posts to follow suit.  If you’ve thought my past posts were deep, you haven’t seen anything yet. I hope you don’t get offended very easily because my purpose is to help you grow. ;-)

I also plan to begin monetizing this blog in the near future, but I’ll leave those details for another post.

Just thought I’d keep you guys in the loop with what’s going on. I’m really excited about seeing this site bloom to it’s full potential.  I can honestly say, it’s only the beginning. After all we do live in A Boundless World :-D

Hey Bud, site looks awesome.

Was surprise to hear it was running on Thesis. I use to tinker with lots of scripts so I might have a ‘look under the hood’ and see what’s what.

I like that you were more personal in this post. Congrats on the graduation

Hey Bud, congratulations on your graduation!

Your new design looks great and I’m sure you’ll be following it up with inspiring writing throughout the summer.

Enjoy your time with your friends, the last summer prior to college is often an exciting one and I hope you get a lot out of it! I also think it’s great that you’re going to travel and experience more of China before you come back to the U.S.
