Lazy Update.

Posted by James | Posted in Life | Posted on 23-11-2008

I’ve been so lazy with posting lately, everyday for about the past week I’ve sat down and thought about posting and even had little ideas of what I could discuss but I end up forgetting or get side tracked. I’ve actually been social lately. ;) Been going out with friends or not sitting infront of a console or screen for as long. It’s not going to achieve anything because sometimes you zone out and just think about how you’re wasting time and feel uncomfortable..

I attended a dinner about a week ago for some friends who were leaving to another state in Australia, they’ll be greatly missed but when I look back on the night or even when I was there. I was such an outcast, everyone was sitting their giggling or talking in their own groups. I wasn’t alone the whole night but for the majority I felt so self conscious and was worried about my every action. I really don’t want this to happen everytime I’m out. It worries me, I haven’t really established many friendships with people and I don’t even have much in common with many ‘normal people’ – My music taste and dress sense is enough to scare people off but that’s just who I am.

I want to fit in with people but I don’t want to fake who I am or have to change myself too. You’re probably thinking why the fuck would I want to be their friends right? well I think that some people judge to harshly when they first meet you so they already have very vivid opinions of you that may not be completely true. I think once they’ve seen who you are then they come to realise that the minor details of things you may not have in common aren’t as important and tend not to matter.

Wow, I went pretty off track for a blog that was meant to be an update, Life seems decent at the moment, I’ve sat my exams last week and finished school which is great, means I can work now and get some money together for things I want to buy. I’m hoping to start a little project on my computer case soon, going to draw the ’snake heart’ logo on the case then cut them out with a nibbler, I don’t want to give the rest of my idea away but I’m going to blog about it and maybe tut on how to use it.

Here’s just one big update, I’ve cut my hair short and actually sat for my drivers test and got it. One last thing… Amber’s still a fucking cunt. :)

Money Making Blogs.

Posted by James | Posted in Rant | Posted on 08-11-2008

they’re a load of shit.

Let me give you a break down on why I think this and why I will always have this opinion of these ‘guides/blogs’

I know several people who own these blogs and I’ve read them but never tried to follow these guides, all they are is a blog full of advertisements to the same sort of ‘quick buck’ blogs that promise you ways to make money. They’re laced with affiliate links with promises. Many of them tell you to open blogs and to use affiliate programs then link you to them with their code and get money. It’s pretty much like a pyramid scheme and everyone is falling for it.

They advertise horrible products and are full of advertisements, sure they’re making you minimal money but it quickly dies down and they’re telling you to recycle what they’re doing with the same programs and claiming money when YOU sign up. Why not do something orginial and develop a unique idea that could make you so much more and in the end, you’ll be a lot happier when you’re not stuck with a blog that looks horrible and just recycles what another 100,000 blogs already say. It’s been done time and time again.

Honestly, we all want to make money but unless you’re making something unique with unique content that’ll keep users coming back then you won’t be making money for long and you’d have wasted a lot of time.

Goodluck with your online ventures and I hope you find your niche. :)
