My website for buying prayers has been featured on AOL Small Business!

My LA roomie Trent misses me… he posted these two funny articles on his blog about it.  I especially like the video in the second one:

• “Missing Roommate“
• “My Roommate is Probably Being Raped“

I miss you too sweetheart. 🙂

I am loving LA. Clients are pouring in like water into a submarine that just got hit by a torpedo. I am going to have to hire people so that I can keep up with the amount of work getting thrown my way. Scary because all I have is a home office at this point. Today, I’m going to meet up with an owner of a popular restaurant in Beverly Hill for lunch that I met yesterday to discuss doing some work for him.… read more “Business is Good”
