What more can I say? In December 2008, with my industry in desperate need of triage and a recession threatening to cramp my creative muscle, I endeavored to revive my long-abandoned blog.
Back in 2005, blogger was still a relatively fresh concept, but three or four years on, with once-hot social networking sites like MySpace already overtaken by newer models like Twitter, Digg, and their ilk, it seemed a little quaint to be blogging.
But I wanted a place to work through ideas in long- or short form, to co-sign creative artists, movements, trends, or just keep up the fashion/culture reporting that I'd been doing professionally.
I was reluctant to publicize BGNB at first, seeing it more as a private notepad, but the feedback when I did share it was always encouraging.
So here I am at a milestone of sorts. I mean, TV sitcoms celebrate when they hit their 100th episode; the centenary birthday is considered a feat in longevity. 100 feels special.
Anyway, I want to thank all of you guys who've been both loyal and unique visitors to the blog. I've loved getting your ideas: "You should write an article about _____"
I heard your complaints too about not updating frequently enough, but I find the posts lack something when I chase the clock.
Can't be your (media)takeout, I'm slow food y'all:) So much of pop culture is in the muck right now, deadening; more than ever we need to be Awake.
For all the site meters, analytics, and so forth, technology can't measure how you respond to a particular post. I encourage you to wield the power of your mouse and CLICK on the boxes if you think something is interesting, funny.
If you feel otherwise - have your say in the comments section! I welcome praise and criticism with equal humility.
Going forward, I'll take a short break. And then plan to deliver more focused content, more of my lens, less knee-jerking.
Finally, I've been called a romantic more times than I want to remember. I'll cop to wanting always to be inspired. I hoard images just like on the inspiration wall pictured here. What's that about?
All in service of living out my dreams. I wish you all the same.
-BGNB

Fees on payday loans are high can be astronomically high, sometimes half of the loan and if the
loan isn't paid, then that is another fee to add to it. These sorts of loans are extremely popular especially in the UK, a country whose economy is starting to shake. According to reports, loan amounts usually range from $100-$500.

Based on the amount you need, you may be unable to
repay your payday loan in only one paycheck. Osoba
may use this loan for any purpose, regardless of the nature
of their desires. If you do pay employees on commission, you may also want
to explore sales commission software like Qcommission that integrates with accounting systems like Intuit's Quickbooks.

A copy of the most recent bank statement is needed, and a check will need to be written in an amount of the
loan payable to the company. This puts many consumers
on a "perpetual debt treadmill," according to the
Fact Sheet. The Pew Charitable Trusts' Small-Dollar Loans Project conducted a study about how consumers borrow and pay back payday loans.
