Michael Jackson: August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

It’s pretty crazy that Michael Jackson is dead, (& Farrah Fawccet). I wasn’t  his biggest fan but he had good music that spanned over 4  decades. He died in over $300 million in debt and possibly because of a prescription drug overdose. Even if you have money like Michael did , so fucking what?! In the end it may be money that ruined him.  It’s a day I won’t forget, just when Princess Diana was killed (I was in Whistler). You always remember where you were when big events such as this happen. September 11, 2001 is another one that feels like yesterday, even though it has been 7 years. Life is fragile and days like these help me appreciate all I have and all that I am grateful for. Enough on that.

Have a great weekend, it’s Friday. Have a good one.

Back To “The Secret”

Lately I have been down because like I mentioned my income has dropped because of Google making it harder and harder for affiliates to advertise on their system. I don’t want to go into the whole thing because in reality it’s one of the stupidest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. Basically Google is trying to eliminate the “middle men” (affiliates), they basically want advertising business only from actual online business, not people promoting for the online business. Confusing? Yeah don’t bother worrying about it, ha ha.

I have been getting away from advertising with Google because they have drastically dropped the amount of traffic they are giving my affiliate sites. I have gone through hoops to follow their guidelines but they just push it way to far. They may control a huge amount of the internet traffic however there are many other places to advertise online and I am in the midst of testing these other sources. Why they are pushing away someone (me), who has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly with them is crazy (especially since I truly do try to make them “happy”). Google will see once their revenues drop in the next quarter that they way treat affiliate marketers is horrible.  Hopefully they will realize that this part of the customer base spends millions and millions of dollars with them monthly. In most cases affiliates spend more on promoting products than the actual product owners do.  I have no clue why they are doing this, Yahoo and MSN don’t treat people nearly as harsh as Google. There is no compassion or human feeling from the biggest online ad agency.

What comes around goes around, let’s wait and see what happens.

I have found it hard to focus being in such a depressed state of mind. I am going back to my roots and have started watch “The Secret” once again, over and over. I point to “The Secret” as being my number one reason for helping me focus on what I actually want from my life, financially. I achieved every single goal that I wrote down, and some of those financial goals were HUGE.

I am now resetting my thinking to focus on what I want and not what I don’t want.  That is the basic principle of the “law of attraction”. Controlling how you feel is one of the most important things that you will ever learn. It worked for me and now it will work again. I don’t want to ramble on and on about this. All I know is that it does work, and I am living proof. Even though I get into these depressed moods lately, I knew in the back of my mind about “law of attraction” I just forgot about it the last while. I am already changing that once again. I don’t want to be the victim anymore, so fuck that, it’s  time to start make even more monies online.

Don’t Leave Your BBQ On!

Sometimes I wonder where my f*cking head is. Yesterday we had some awesome Italian sausage from Columbus Meat Market.  I fired up the BBQ to cook the sausage and when it was almost done I lowered the heat. I took the meat off after 5 minutes but I forgot to turn off the bbq! I then put the black bbq protector cover on the BBQ and had lunch. Like 2 hours later wifey is asking why the BBQ is still hot. Needless to say dipsh*t (me), left it on for like 2 hours! I snapped 2 photos of the plastic water nozzle that was sitting on top of the BBQ. I don’t even want to think about if I left that on all night, house catches fire perhaps?!?! I’m luckier than I think I am, be grateful for what you have you jackass (me). I could of had less to be grateful for if my house caught fire, enough said…

The Dancing Donkey

Saturday sillyness: It’s fun to see OTHER people looking like mules. This chap actually gets paid to dance on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby. He works for Church’s Chicken and has been doing this for at least the last 4 months, rain or shine, snow, hail,  or even hurricane he is out there dancing his thing (whatever it is that he does..).  I give him credit because he gets paid to dance like a donkey, and probably eats tons of free chicken. Mackdaddy…

we went to Maple Ridge this afternoon to visit my brother who’s camping there but couldn’t find his camp ground, so we drove around a bit and then went home. What a bust…  And he has no cell phone reception so I couldn’t even tell him we couldn’t find the damn camp ground.

Thanks For Standing Me Up!

Last night I was supposed to meet a couple who were interested in looking at the Burnaby condo to see if they wanted to rent it. Our appointment was for 7:30 pm, he called me at 7:29 to tell me he placed the damage deposit on another palce. Awwwwwwww thanks buddy you give me 1 minute notice, that you’re not coming? You a-hole, I was like 1 minute away from arriving at the condo. Then I had another assh*le (2 days ago), who was late  so I called him to see where he was, and he said he was on the way and he never showed up (real nice d*ck head).  Some people have no respect for other peoples time, they don’t give a sh*t.

Today, I am showing it to 2 other people, hopefully it’s rented by this afternoon, woot!

Anyways, I had my digital camera and went to check out a place that I USED TO do graffiti at, years ago. Don’t give me a hard time about graffiti, listen to the news lately? Go get a bail out like GM and Chrysler did, with OUR tax money. Yeah, don’t worry about graffiti cause the government is robbing you blind.. Anyways I snapped some photos, some of the stuff looked cool, lots of it looked like hell. It’s underneath a bridge on Highyway 1 in Burnaby. You can’t see it from the street, very “out of the way”, so no one has to see all that “vandalism” that those damn kids do.
