What The Hell is Going on?

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:08:00 +0000

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Why don't you just turn of the goddamn TV. If people like you weren't gluing yourselves to a fucking box, douche bags like the Jersey Shore cast wouldn't be getting paid thousands to do another season of douche bag Shore. Why can't you realize that by the simple act of turning off the TV, we the people can literally take back all the power from the corporations and the government. Why? because it's their main medium for advertising and spreading their manipulative messages. This isn't some kind of conspiracy theory, it's just the way things are. Almost everything on television is not true, from campaigns, to the news and even so called reality shows are now staged and scripted.

Besides taking power away from the government and corporations, you can use all the extra free time to better yourselves and actually have a life. Even going on the internet is better then TV. Learn a new language or just learn how to speak English correctly, read, write, think, have a life...

Why Should Animals Have Rights?

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:02:00 +0000

Well...why shouldn't they? They feel pain, they suffer and some of them are smarter(literally) than some humans. As if that wasn't enough, killing and torturing them is just not necessary. But please...if anyone has some good excuses as to why we can and should torture, torment, kill, slaughter, dismember, humiliate, disrespect, destroy, annihilate and disembowel non-human animals I would love to hear them.

Hi I'm Jimmy...

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:10:00 +0000

and I'm a piece of shit. But you know what... I'm still fucking better than you... my standards are just higher. So... what would be considered great for you, would probably be mediocre at best for me... because my standards are higher. I believe being considered human should not be judged on whether one looks and acts human; being considered human should entail a certain awareness and consciousness, especially of reality. Unfortunately this would disqualify over 95% of the "humans" on this planet. But it's not that unfortunate because the rest of us would be the better for it. But don't worry, we'll still take care you, just like we're already taking care of you and all of your disgusting offspring. So go ahead and live out your generic existence and just leave the evolution up to us you fucking filth.

Had to get that off my chest...

Marketing Tips to Get More Traffic to Your Internet Business

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 01:19:00 +0000

When you have an Internet business, your goal is to get the most amount of traffic to your website. As more traffic visits your website, you stand a greater chance of getting the sale and increasing your income. If you have an Internet business, you’ll find the following tips will help to get you traffic:

Social Networking Sites

If you haven’t tried social networking sites to get more traffic, you’re definitely missing out. The following are just a few to try out:

Facebook

MySpace

Twitter

When you join these social sites, you can hook up with people that have the same interests as you. Keeping them updated on a daily basis will get you more people and more people means more potential traffic to your Internet business website. Just make sure that you do not join every social site unless you have the time to keep up with them!

Article Marketing

Are you an expert in your field? Make yourself and your business known by writing articles. Online there are several article directory sites that will let you submit several articles a week. Be sure the topic of the article is relevant to your line of business and when readers see the link to your website in your bio, they will be sure to click on it to see what you have to offer. To make the most of your articles and to help your site rank a lot higher in the biggest search engines, use specific keywords in your articles. If you are unsure of what keywords to use, just go to the site https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. Put in a keyword that is relevant to your business and it will give you other keywords to select from.

Forums and Discussion Groups

Millions of users visit a variety of forums and discussion groups everyday. The reason? It’s a great place to join others that are in your line of work or may be interested in an opportunity with your Internet business. Beware, though, as forums and discussion groups can become quite addictive. The best way to make use of these sites is to give yourself just a short time everyday to check in or at least three to four times a week. It’s also important to remember to put your website link in your signature. This way, every time you post in them, you’ll create another backlink to your site.

Marketing Your Online Business: Making the Most of Free Marketing Opportunities

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 12:40:00 +0000

With the state of the current economy, it is no surprise that many businesses have cut their budgets, including their advertising budget. Many business make the decision to cut back on their marketing expenses because they feel their business is heading for a downfall if they don’t. The fact is, it could be, unless they start taking advantage of the free marketing opportunities that are available online.

Social Networking

Social networking sites offer many opportunities to advertise an online business. Sites such as MySpace and Facebook will require a profile to be filled out. Business owners should always list their website domain name under their profile and whenever anyone views their page, they will have access to click on the business site. Facebook also has other marketing opportunities. A page can be created on the business that anyone can view and become a fan of the business. It is also a great idea to offer freebies to those people who become a fan of the business.

Classified Sites

Online businesses should also take advantage of free marketing opportunities in the classified sites. Many of these sites, such as Craigslist, are visited by millions of people everyday. After all, everyone likes a good deal. By listing products or services on these sites, a business can get noticed thousands of more people everyday.

Discussion Groups and Forums

Discussion groups and online forums are another strategy business owners should be using to promote their business. Again, When the business owner fills out a profile, they should be sure to include their business website and add it to their signature, as well. Anytime they post in the forum, their website will be there for all to see.

Article Marketing

Another great way to market your online business for free is to write and submit articles to some of the various article directories online. If the business owner does not have time to write the articles or the skills, they will find many web content writers that will provide them with the articles they need to promote their business. These ghostwritten articles can carry the business owner’s name and all they need to do is put their website domain name in their bio. The more back links they can create to their site and the more they will increase the traffic to their business website.

While businesses are cutting back on their advertising, businesses should be doing the opposite. With competitors out of the limelight, the business owner can get his or her business in the front. Taking advantage of all of the free advertising on the Internet will soon find their online business getting more traffic than their competitors.

Should Facebook Be Part of Your Marketing Strategy?

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:50:00 +0000

What is the successful business owner doing with their business that others are not? Did they just get lucky or is there some secret that they are not revealing? You may be surprised to hear that many of the successful business owners of today are choosing to highlight their businesses on many of the social networking sites, such as Facebook.

With more than 300 million active users on Facebook, those who know anything at all about marketing their business understands what this could mean for their business. Reaching a large majority of their own target market in one place is a rarity, but one that can not be ignored. Not only that, joining Facebook is free, so it also makes it one of the most cost effective strategies they can use in the promotion of their business.

But are there any downsides of putting your business on social networking sites? Not long ago, there was a big controversy over the terms and conditions that Facebook placed upon its users. The terms stated that anything uploaded to Facebook was owned by them. In other words, if a photo or logo was put onto a profile, Facebook became the owner of it. While they soon revoked this term of use, the fact is, it could happen again. For the business owner, it could be a major loss. This, of course, is just one of the disadvantages. There is also a risk of privacy loss whenever you market your business on social sites.

What the business owner must decide is whether or not the advantages are more important to them than the disadvantages. With the potential to reach as many as 300 million users in one place, most will find that this far outweighs the risks involved. But how do you best serve your business on Facebook?

The first thing you must do is create a profile for yourself on Facebook. Choose how much information you want to share with others and make sure you go to the settings to choose who can see the information you provided. Once you’ve created a profile, start your search to add friends to your network. These will be the individuals who can see your posts.

Next, you will need to create a Page for your business. Here, you can name your page the name of your business and set it up to inform the users of Facebook of what your company can do for them. You also will have the opportunity to create a Facebook Group, where individuals can choose to become a Fan of the group.

Of course, this is just the beginning of marketing your business on this site. Many business owners find it to be one of the most time consuming tasks they have put upon themselves, but most will also agree that it is one of the most enjoyable.

When looking for a way to market your business in an efficient and cost-effective manner, social networking sites, such as Facebook, may be just what your business needs in order to survive in this struggling economy.

What This Recession is Really Doing to Vegas.

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:17:00 +0000

I just came across a post on BoingBoing.net about how cocaine dealers in New York are being affected by this economic downturn as it's called. It's nothing new that pretty much everyone is being affected but none the less interesting. Living in Las Vegas and having been to a few strip clubs, it's easy to see that the strippers are definitely pushier than they used to be and the lines at the clubs are not as long. Put that together with the fact that nightclubs make you wait even if they're empty; having a short line means it's fucking deserted(yes, for all you tourists, you're not waiting because they don't have room for you, and the place is just the shit, you're waiting because the doormen are greedy douche bags and the club owners want it to seem popular).

On the other hand, there are articles out there proclaiming that Vegas is desolate and pretty much saying that everything's in shambles. Look! Things are bad. But, walking the Vegas strip and driving around the city, you can't even tell we're in a recession. There's a lot to be said about our resilience.

Overcoming Writer's block

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:09:00 +0000

So I'm sitting next to my rottweiler, watching the movie role models and trying to think of things to write about. After a while of sitting there doing everything except writing, I figured, the best way to fix this is to just start writing, so here I'am. This blog post is going to be about nothing and it's probably gonna be a bad post too. But; I'm writing so problem solved. Although this whole thing may just turn out to be one long ramble; you, the people reading this can learn something very important from this. One; the best way to fix writer's block is to just start writing anything. Two; whenever you want to do something and can't figure out where or how to start, whether it be in business, school, work or relationships; the best thing to do is to just start and not procrastinate. Three; get all the distractions out of the way(unlike me). Don't watch tv while eating cereal and playing with your dog.

How do you get over writer's block?

Make Money, Get Rich... And so on.

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:20:00 +0000

If you're even a little bit serious about making money, then you've probably heard most of the mantras and advice out there. You know what I'm talking about. The ones about persistence and hard work. The ones that tell you that when you fall you have to get back up and the only way to success is through failure...and so on.
While I do believe that all these things will help you become successful in whatever you want to do, it's beginning to irritate me for the mere fact that people use these qualities like they're plug and play or something. As if, when you follow all these criteria, you will become rich or successful. Most people touting the motivational rhetoric fail to mention that most people will never become rich and retire wealthy. I don't mean to sound negative. But; especially for the motivational speakers out there, I feel that it's important to stay within the realms of reality. Everyone cannot be rich or else capitalism would not exist. And there are a lot more persistent, smart, creative, hard working and talented individuals than there are rich people. Nonetheless, if one truly want to be successful (I myself would like to at least make $5K per month while not having to work) then one has to implement these qualities and use them without hesitation or effort. Knowing that the odds are against you is what adds to the challenge. Who wants to achieve something that everyone can achieve or already has?
I would like to end by saying that there are certain things that are also important to achieving success (whether it be money, or something else) and that's to not think too much into things and to act like the person you want to be or are going to be. Having a knack for letting things happen is often more important in achieving success than all the other qualities combined and usually ends up being the single catalyst for change in the right direction, in spite of all the hard work and persistence.

What if...?

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 11:16:00 +0000

- What if humans were actually aware, conscious and in tune with the universe around them and were able to see the truly big picture instead of being superficially intelligent and pretending to be civilized?

- What if humans actually made the world a better place instead of destroying everything they get their hands on like a virus?

- What if humans actually started to live up to the high standard that being human is supposed to encompass?

- What if humans could get passed obstacles like religion so as to actually evolve and really start on the path to true advancement?

- What IF we were actually worth saving?

Oh Yeah, That Looks Like it Doesn't Hurt.

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:26:00 +0000

I came across this interesting article on Change.org. The video below is pretty graphic so be warned, but everyone needs to watch this. This slaughterhouse is considered "legal" and "humane". If you can't tell by now; the title is a sarcastic one. This is by no means humane and one can only imagine what would be considered an "inhumane" slaughterhouse. Can something with the word slaughter ever be described or even put together with the word humane, wouldn't that be an oxymoron? Anyway, this is a small drop in the ocean compared to the unthinkable horrors we put non-human animals through everyday. Learn to become a better person, start here and here.

Political Rant

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:22:00 +0000

I hate politicians! In my mind politicians are synonymous with corruption. People vote and speak out and endorse certain politicians thinking that it will make a difference when the only difference it will really make is how and in what way you will get screwed. Sure, Obama will stop us from getting screwed by that douche bag Bush, but only to put in place his own form of the raping of the United States citizens. You know what, lets just hand out money to everyone, I want some money, maybe I should just take out a bunch of loans that I can't pay back, run up my credit and have 25 children, because you know what; there are no consequences. I'm not sure if all you people realize this yet, but you don't go to jail for not paying your bills, or for not paying back the money you borrowed.
If you don't pay the cell phone bill, all that happens is that it gets turned off. If you don't make the car payment, it just gets repossessed, then you just find some other place that will finance you for another car that you don't have to pay for. And if you can find a place to hide your car, like your garage, they can't even get it back, or you can just ship it to another country, bingo. As far as I'm concerned the only good reason to even build good credit is to screw the banks for a shitload of money that they won't be able to get back later. Hey, every corporation does it in one form or another and they even get assistance from our scumbag politicians to do it, and they don't get punished for doing it, just rewarded with more money.

The Best Thing You Can Do

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:09:00 +0000

Is to stop consuming animal products. Getting a prius, turning off the lights, recycling, does not even compare to the good you can do by just not consuming animals.

Cheap Marketing Tactics

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 06:24:00 +0000

Stickers/Decals-these can be made for a small price and you can place on your car, friends cars, bathroom stalls, windows, etc.

Bulletin Boards around the community where you post flyers, brochures, business cards, stickers, etc.
Classifieds sites-there are many websites were you can post for free such as Craigslist and Myspace, this may not work too well but once again it is free.
Cheap shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, track jackets, etc.

2. Problogger - a blog that pretty much focuses on helping bloggers and making them better at what they do.

3. Copyblogger - pretty much like Problogger, great advice, tools and resources for bloggers.

Two million dogs, cats and many other animals are skinned ALIVE in Asia every year. Please try to envision what it would feel like to be skinned while you're fully aware and conscious. Can you imagine the pain and the torment that would engulf your body as your flesh is stripped from your bones. Have you ever pulled even a tiny piece of skin off your body. It hurts! Now just imagine. When I read and saw the videos of beautiful creatures being tortured like that all I could think was "I'm going to kill those Chinese bastards". But I don't want to make this about race. Yes they deserve to die, but that's true of every race, so we won't make it about race. Instead, it should be about the individuals committing this mayhem. Shouldn't this kind of torture only happen in horror movies? I could fly over there, whether it be Canada or China or Norway and murder these people personally but that wouldn't be practical because I'd only be able to kill a few of them before I'm caught or killed myself and this slaughter would still go on after I'm gone. So instead I have to go same route as every other activist and try to raise money and get the word out hoping people will change their ways. So I' will end on this note.

Please do what you can for every creature. Including the ones here at home, even if it is just getting the word out. I will be putting up a donation button so that I can hopefully raise a little money to be able to self market and promote issues like this peacefully of course. God forbid I'm politically incorrect. And give the funds I don't need to a local non kill animal shelter.

Even if you don't have a job in social media you should be using social networks to build your personal brand.

3. If you're planning on moving to a vacation hotspot then get a job in the tourism and hospitality industry. Or you can teach English or become a tutor. Different places have different restrictions and require a work visa so be sure to check the trquirements for where ever you plan on moving to.

Don't pay for what they think they know

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:46:00 +0000

Do not pay for advice in something you can learn on your own easily. For example; investment advisors, financial planners, phsychiatrists, councilors, political scientists, economists and clinical phsycologists are what the great author Nassim Taleb would refer to as "non expert professions". These professions are for the most part BS. I would rather get investment advice from the writer of a business column than from an economist. Or, you would be just as well off to ask any normal, intelligent person about how to deal with certain situations or relationships rather than pay a psychologist.
Furthermore, with a little studying of your own, you can become just as proficient in these fields as any of these so called "experts", or at least proficient enough to make educated guesses which is just what they do, certificates and degrees aside. So save your hard earned money.

A Random Walk

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:18:00 +0000

Do you want to feel enlightened even if for just a moment. Do you want to feel in tune with the universe and the world around you. Here's a good way to put everything in perspective. Take a walk through a cemetery. Yeah, I know it may sound odd, but seriously, the amount of freedom and power you will feel may just change who you are completely.
Really knowing and fully realizing that you will die one day is the best way to free yourself from whatever maybe holding you back. But it's not easy. Even I have not completely realized my full potential and I know it, because I'm not living my life to it's fullest. But I do know that the moment you truly realize that you will one day not be here, will scare you to such a point that you will become paralyzed. The point of this is not to scare you. The point of this is for you to realize that you truly have nothing to lose. Why? Because in the end we lose everything anyway.

Torture And Kill The Real Animals

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 11:46:00 +0000

Animal rights is a very important topic to me. There's not much to say about this issue that hasn't already been said. There already thousands of blogs, websites, forums and organizations dedicated to helping animals. But it is still evident that human beings are very reluctant to change. To me, animal rights is a philosophical issue. Torturing and hurting animals is just not necessary. And in most cases it's not efficient either.
Animals, just like us, are going to die anyways. Dogs will age and die and tigers will die in the wild, etc. It's bad enough that we consume and exploit animals for our own benefit, but, at the very least give them a decent life up until death, give them a quick and somewhat painless execution and avoid destroying creatures that are on the brink of extinction. Humans are just so careless when it comes to the welfare of creatures that they should be protecting.
If a child gets killed by a drunk driver, everyone's up in arms about it. When a puppy in China gets skinned alive, or a baby seal gets clubbed to death in Canada, no one cares. When, essentially, the child, the puppy and the seal are the same. Their welfare is important to themselves. That puppy is screaming for its mommy as its skin is being ripped from its body. The baby seal is in agony and gasping for breath and all the while it does not know why it's being punished this way. Animals are innocent, bottom line, if you want to torture and kill someone, kill and torture humans. There's way too many of us anyway. In my eyes, humans are disgusting creatures. Our vanity knows no bounds. The incidents of torture are infinite, and almost all of them being committed by people that I would consider inferior to myself and whom ironically consider those defenseless animals inferior to themselves. I would not think twice about murdering and torturing these people, especially if it would save even one animal. The law and only the law is what keeps someone like me from committing these actions. Morality is not an issue for me, I'm somewhat of a Nihilist. But, causing pain and suffering to something that so clearly does not deserve it is just not necessary.

Poker Secrets The Pros Won't Tell You!

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 02:17:00 +0000

1. There's more luck involved than you think. Yup I said it. They insist it's a skill game but take into account every single variable in the known universe and guess what? Everything had to have been just right for what happened to have happened. So please, get over yourselves.

2. I'm by no means an expert on poker, but guess what! No one is!

3. Most of the pros that win tournaments would get destroyed in cash games and vice versa.

4. A lot of the "poker" professionals don't even make a living playing poker any more and couldn't even if they wanted to.

5. Ahem, do you really think they play for keeps on the show High Stakes Poker? I don't know, but it's very doubtful.

- This list will be added to I'm sure, but please leave comments or criticism as to what I may have left out.

Increasing Productivity With Your Iphone and Ipod Touch

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmy) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 03:12:00 +0000

There are literally thousands of applications for the Ipod Touch and Iphone. Many of these applications can be used to simplify your life in general and allow you to get work done from just about anywhere that there's a Wi-Fi connection. Plus, many of these applications are free. I'm not gonna go over individual apps because there are just too many of them, but I will address general ideas that most of you can hopefully use to make being more productive a little easier.

Keeping your finances in order has never been easier than with these devices. A couple applications I like are Kashbook and HomeBudget Lite and both are free. Kashbook lets you keep track of your debits and credits and HomeBudget is really useful if you'd like to make and stick to a budget. Both are pretty straight forward to use too.

For a free dictionary and thesaurus try using an app called WordWeb. It comes in really handy sometimes at the most unexpected times. The great thing about this app is that you don't need a Wi-Fi connection like most of the other same apps.

The most popular social networks are always at your finger tips with Twitterfon, Facebook and MySpace Mobile. All three are free although there are some Twitter apps that cost some money and I've heard a lot of good things about but I still prefer free. That's just me.

You can also blog on the go with an app called BlogWriter Lite which has a paid version called just BlogWriter. If you're really serious about blogging get the paid version but for me the free version has been sufficient. If you're not within a hot spot you can even save your blog then upload it later as soon as you can connect to the Internet.

If you drive fast like me, there's a free app called Trapster that will show you speed traps and known cop hiding locations that you may want to avoid or at least slow down when passing by. This app is better on the Iphone because you need a constant internet connection to really make useful. It will give you live updates while you're driving as it keeps track of your location.

To watch your stocks, I love Bloomberg. It gives you news and charts and it's free. There's also a great currency converter app call simply enough "Currency". Also, you can get The Wall Street Journal(WSJ) for free for the latest headline and market news.

Music is kind of the whole point of the Ipod so you have to get Pandora. It's also free and it is one of the best apps by far for music. But this one needs Wi-Fi. Still, is worth it.
Here's a short list of other good apps:

1Password - keep all your passwords in one safe place. -Free
DomainScout - domain name search tool. - Free
Movies - look up movie times and see what's playing along with the locations. - Free
