It's Finished!!

I finally got my ass into gear and finished the finance newsletter I've been writing. Hopefully it can take off, but I need You to read it! As an incentive, I'm offering $25  NZ bank accounts to people who read it and tell me what they think (for the first 15ppl). If you want to read it, email me (it's on my profile page), and I'll send it to you. After, please tell me what you think, and if you like it, forward it to others.

In other news, I was at work today and I swear customers wait for good songs to play before telling me to get shoes. I have to listen to the same boring  songs all day, and miss the ones I actually like because I have to go out the back... I recall hearing three songs twice today. I have to go all day tomorrow too so I'm going to go insane..

Merry Easter everyone.

update

Hi. My attempt at polyphasic sleep has been postponed till saturday...on friday I'm working from 9-9, so it would mean I'd have to sleep for 20mins three times! It wouldn't go over well. So instead, I'll put a video here worth watching...but I only have 50mb to last all tomorrow, so I'll delay that too.

Instead, pay a visit to this. If you know Rich Dad, Poor Dad, you should definitely read the criticism of him. Or go back through my archives and find the link to "What is Man," by Mark Twain. That is something I'd recommend to anyone for summer (or winter) reading...

Stay tuned for the polyphasic sleep diary. Coming soon...

34 sleeps till Christmas

Hi everyone. Has everyone noticed all the Christmas decorations out in the shops, to entice you to spend more? Some places have actually had them up since the start of november, which is crazy. Is Christmas a holiday which deserves 2months out of every year? If you include the mid-year Christmas celebration, it goes up to 3months.

Yes, it's a perfect opportunity to see your family/friends, and do idiotic things (which is also what new years is for). But has it become too commercialized? Do you feel you have an obligation to get a gift for people close to you? Like your parents? Your siblings? Your close friends? If you do, then maybe you should think about saying to them "all I want from you is a hug, and that's my present to you," How do you think they'll react? It's hard to say...

Anyway, tonight is my last proper monophasic sleep. From tomorrow, I will start to experiment with polyphasic sleep starting tomorrow. This will also be where I keep a journal of how it goes. I'll have plenty of time with only 2 hours sleep a day. Stay tuned...

Quote of the day

Women don't belong in the workplace. Their menstruation attracts bears. That puts everyone in jeopardy: Ron Burgundy

Sorry for not writing in this for a while..exams and all. Only one semester (including summer school blah!) to go!! That's only 12 (+6argh!!) weeks! Then I'll be rolling in the cash! (but probably not..)

Therapy

Ok, so you can't take happy pills to get over this..I think most of them have black box warnings, so don't risk taking them.

I think the best way for us to get over it quickly is to face it head on, like that whole ripping off the plaster fast thing...

EDIT: Deleted all the rest cause it was all so boring..(actually I should've probably deleted this whole site).

Important things..

so I cooked taco's for my family tonight and it couldn't have gone better, or could it? Stay tuned for what really happened, the dramas and controversy, later...

Onto more important things, I've decided to start sending out a weekly finance email. Unlike most email newsletters, this one will be free (at least until it starts costing me money). But the first 50 (ambitious?) subscribers will receive a free lifetime subscription. Although this means that everyone who subscribes will never have to pay, I'm just covering my bases.

I know finance is boring to alot of people and that most people don't really want to think about it, but I assure this newletter will be informative but interesting at the same time. Each week I'll try to centre the articles into one topic. I'll also put some useful maths which you can use for things. Maths is boring, so you wont find any, since people wont subscribe if I did that..There will also be a prize you can go in the draw to win, but only if you're a subscriber..

And because of the new anti-spam laws, I will send an Arsenal related email which you will have to reply to activate your subscription. To subscribe, send me an email (link is on my profile page), or just comment saying you want to subscribe. Or just contact me however you can.

And feel free to send suggestions of what should be featured in it.

My prediction for the NZ France game: 63-11

Do you want to be famous?

Becoming famous on the internet is pretty hard. Well, actually it's not..if you have a blog, all you have to do is mention paris hilton, britney spears, or some other famous person who often makes headlines. That way when people search for these people, your site will come up and people will click and read it. If what you write is good shit, then they'll probably come back again to see what your update is like, then if they come back for a third visit, then you've got a new fan.

But if writing about paris hilton crying when david letterman asks her about jail doesn't really appeal to you, you can just have random pornographic remarks scattered around. Believe it or not, the most common way people come to my sight is by googling panties/wet panties, or some kind of variant along those lines (this was from one of my first posts). People really mean it when they say sex sells.

This system can be applied to any medium on the internet: youtube, myspace...ok that's all I can think of now, but it no doubt works for everything. True, to get fans, what you say needs to be good to get people to come back to your site, but it'll definitely get noticed without much effort on your part.

Becoming famous on the internet completely on your own accord is a different story..lonelygirl15 is one example that comes to mind...also that quotation mark blog.

This is my goal, and it should be the same for everyone who keeps a blog, makes videos, or has a website. The rewards are the greatest when you are original. (I wanted to put something at the end to inspire you, but it's too late and I can't think properly...so imagine what I would put here).

Here's Paris Hilton's interview if you haven't seen it yet
