Unfinished Treatment
*EDIT: FINISHED. LATER TO BE POSTED :)
===================================================================
SCENE 1
There is disturbing noises going on in the background. The scene is pitch black, and all you hear is panting, and hesitant behavior. You hear a metal object drop. The focus is now all on a clean kitchen knife that is on the floor. You see a hand that is shaky, and goes for the knife. The knife is then taken by the hand, and nothing animate is present. You then hear a loud yell and the knife drop once more.
SCENE 2
Joseph is going through his daily routine, and then sits at his computer desk. He is an at-home entrepreneur, which means he deals with network marketing. He owns his own business, and writes a speech he must present for his company of 14 employees. He seems stressed and frustrated, and puts his head down on his desk. He falls asleep, and the scene is dark.
SCENE 3
You see THOMAS ring the doorbell of a home. “Joseph! I know you’re in there. Come on man, get up. We were supposed to go bowling this evening! Come on dude!!!” It is silent, and there is no response. Thomas walks around the house toward Joseph’s bedroom window. He looks through and finds Joseph at his desk, asleep. He chuckles, and bangs on the window. Joseph makes little movement and reaches for his alarm clock. He looks at it with his eyes half-open, and panics. He then realizes that Thomas is at his window, and then jumps.
SCENE 4
Thomas and Joseph meet at the front door, and converse about what they are going to do for the rest of the day. They then have their laughs, and Joseph carpools with Thomas to go to the bowling alley.
SCENE 5
Thomas and Joseph are both in the car, and they are talking about the other day they were together. “So how was work?” asked Thomas. “Ah, it was okay, it was a little slow.” They resume their conversation, and head toward Don Carter’s Bowling Alley, and park. They leave the vehicle, and walk into the facility.
SCENE 6
Thomas is sitting at the table near their lane, and Joseph is bowling. Joseph exclaims, “A strike, a strike! Ha ha, finally!” Thomas replies, “About time… hey we should head home. I’m getting kind of tired. “But…” Joseph says. “No buts, I gotta go home, I’m getting really tired. Besides…” “Who else is going to take me, I know.” says Joseph. They leave the bowling alley, and go to Joseph’s house.
SCENE 7
“Alright, I guess I’ll see you later.” says Thomas. “Alright, see ya.” says Joseph. Joseph walks into his home, locks the door, and walks into his bedroom to get onto his computer. A new email notification is on his browser. It is titled “READ THIS!!!” He looks at it really tired, and deletes it, thinking it was spam. He then yawns, stretches out his arms, and walks to his bed. Scene goes black as the light is turned off.
SCENE 8
A notification sound comes from Joseph’s computer. Joseph awakes from his bed, and groans. He walks over to his computer, and finds an email titled “READ THIS 2!!!” He seems frustrated, and deletes is again because it wasn’t in his spam folder again. He resumes with checking his emails from other network marketing companies, and walks to his kitchen to make breakfast. He eats at his dining room, and turns on the T.V. The news is on, and he watches and eats intently. He hears another email notification sound. He groans again, and walks with a sense of urgency to his room. An email’s title is read “READ THIS 3”. The exhales deeply, and says “Okay, I’ll read you…” He clicks, and a brief email is presented: “Joseph, today you will be experiencing lights. There will be one missing light, and random noises will occur while you are trying to sleep tonight.” He laughs, saying “Ha, these letters are so pointless.” He deletes it thoughtlessly, and resumes eating his breakfast.

Unpopular blogs, are only unpopular in traffic
Is your blog not getting as much attention as you would like? Do not be discouraged, it is not your fault at all. Unpopular blogs are only unpopular in traffic! All you need to do, is work for your quantities in viewers.
Traffic
This is the most important thing towards your site's success. Why? Traffic in your site indicates how interesting, and how well you are distributing your site's URL to the public. To distribute your site to the public in the easiest manner, try going to other blogs or boards that contain a thread in need of people's sites. Sites such as the ones on the left hand site of my blog help a ton, and visiting people's sites on those boards aid tremendously in your site's traffic. I know this because the people posting their sites on the boards/forums are in need of traffic amongst their sites, like you. In the end, if you subscribe to their feed via anything, and/or comment one of their posts, the chances of them being directed back to your site is very high. In doing so, your blog will be read. One person (other than you), reading your posts, is one step up to the popularity of your blog.
A Sense of Confidence
When creating, and maintaining your blog, do not be discouraged by the low numbers in your blog, whether it be comments, subscribers to your feed, or traffic. Always be somewhat, if not, really confident in your blog. Only you may keep your own blog from failing miserably. I am not saying that anybody's blog is miserable, but if you stay active in your blog, I guarantee there will be an opportunity out there for you, as a blogger, to keep that smile on your face everytime you write. Staying up to date, and having fun with your blog could become difficult to do, but once you get that comment or that subscriber, you will be satisfied. Keep up the work, and never be withdrawed from your dark blogs. Everybody as been there, and you are not alone. Pagerank is almost insignificant, and should not control your feelings for your blog, because that is not their job, it is only yours. Pagerank is almost like a resource for other advertisers to look at. Subside the fact that there is a 0, 1, or 2, or whatever number there is, because it is insignificant. Keep blogging, and in the longrun, there is only room for the rank to go up.
Your road to popularity
Even if you do not mind popularity, all of these tips are great for your blog to receive some views. Striving for a better blog, and perserverance for success can only get you there. The blogging world is like a huge road. There will be stopsigns, streetlights, and yield signs, etc, but acceleration is always present, no matter what signs there are. Staying straight with your blog, and commencing your goals with integrity, there is no time to look back, only forward. Therefore, success is just around the corner, all your have to do make the turn.

Nintendo Wifi USB Connector not working for you?
Okay, so for those of you that are frustrated with trying to strive for a wifi connection in your home for a Wii, I want to help save you money. If you purchase a Nintendo Wifi USB Connector at any store (like Wal-Mart, Target, Gamestop, etc.), be prepared to get a refund. You might get lucky with it, who knows, but do not count on it working for you.
This device is very convenient, and simple to install. It only takes about 5 minutes to get the software, and device reading properly. Some people even have trouble getting the Connector to even be recognized by the PC! I know it is only $20-$30 or so. Don't get me wrong, it's a great deal if you only need Wifi on a Wii. But, if it does turn out ineffective (which in most cases, is...), then don't hesitate to purchase a wireless g router. They are only about $40, and work in my opinion, more than 80% of the time. I've looked on a lot of blogs, discussing the defects of the Connector, and I had experienced it as well, and it is not worth the trouble. There is the firewall that could interfere with the connection, connection settings, your computer's internet settings, you IP, range within the Wii and the Connector, and lots more.
I would say, just buy the wireless router. The wireless router (most of them at least), are so easy to install and hook up, and have security (WPS) in my case. I have a Belkin Wireless G Router ver. 8000, and it is an awesome product for the Wii, and your PC. I have used it for about a month now, and no problems what so ever. Please, do not hesitate to try this product out. The security works outstandingly, not the best (because it is not the most expensive wireless router), but still is satisfying to have. If you have any questions about setting a Wifi connection in your household, or in your business, give me a comment, and I'll try to help you out.

Firewall/Antispyware/Antispam/Antivirus... etc
If you are not looking to purchase any products, try AVG Free, Avast, and Windows Defender! These are all great products to protect you PC from any viruses and such. And remember, they are all FREE, and ready to use once you have downloaded it.
A con for purchasing a product, is that once it has expired, the notification pops up numerous amounts of times, distracting you from surfing your PC. Plus, there is sometimes subscription fees for such products. Although their protection is off the charts, they are sometimes expensive, and expire as well. These "Paying" products are great if you have the money to spend. In my opinion, it is not worth the trouble, and plus, they take up too much space. I had a product (not going to specify for personal reasons) that got extremely annoying once the subscription was up, and I was so limited in protection. Another thing, make sure you purchase there products earlier in the year, so you get the full amount of time available. You do not want to purchase Norton, for example, in October. Then you basically only have 3 months to utilize the product. What a waste!
Well, hope I helped with any issues out there, and please comment this post if you have any questions, or things I need to add, and I'll be sure to review it, and consider for future reference.

Gas Prices Not High Enough?
However, there have been common cases in the late 1900s, of people striking against their city about the gasoline prices. Some resulted in drops of a couple of cents! By not going by car in the summer, and striking did just that! But even with these strikes today, not much could be saved. And the amount the U.S. intakes from gas prices, one gas station could not possibly lower their price just because of a strike. Sorry, but the chances of lowered prices, is almost inanimate. Fortunately, we have yet to live during the spiking gas prices.
Next time you go to your local gas station, the numbers on that sign will only go up. Please, be less frustrated, because later on, you will desire that price, just like in the early 1970s, when gasoline was only a few cents to the gallon. But look only forward, because we live in the future, and the future only gets rougher, balanced with the new innovations that are composed as time progresses. We only have room to hope for a new source of energy for our vehicles, one that is not as much demanded from everywhere around the globe. Only then, may we see the drop in the prices on the board.
