Tight Election Contest

Well the Queensland state election continues to be a tight contest with neither party throwing a knockout punch. Perhaps the most disastrous thing to happen in the last week is the holing of a container ship and the spilling of oil on S.E. Queensland much beloved beaches. I think this more than any other thing demonstrates why this Labor government is unfit to govern and needs tossing out. As with most things in the last 11 years under labor its too little, too late, and yet another cock up response to a problem.

Having been advised that the ship had spilled oil what did this government do? Nothing? They didn't try to contain the spill, or soak it up at sea or even use chemicals disperse the slick - no they sit back and wait for it to wash on the shore and a put toxic sludge all over some of the nicest beaches in Queensland. Finally days later they get off their asses once they realize they can't hide it for the public - you tend to notice your favorite blue water beach with dark brown water and your shoes destroyed by the toxic black muck at your feet. Then they scrap off the surface sand for dumping elsewhere - that's Labors solution for most of whats wrong with this state - slow response, wrong response, wasted time and effort.

Captain BLIGH call me Fletcher Christian - because I for one will be voting you off the ship.

Fellow Queenslander's feel free to mutiny with me and let's get a new government in Queensland.

Queensland goes to the polls on March 21 - Bring on the Borg

Thankfully Queensland now has the chance to toss out our current incompetent government. Anna Bligh sees on the horizon the huge budget deficit coming her way and decides to dodge the bullet by going to an early election. Hopefully the people of Queensland won't be fooled and will realize how wasteful this Queensland state Labour Government has been. They have been unable to fix the health system and our education system has slipped to the lowest in Australia. Why? Because the Labour government has no real idea on how to solve any of these problems - they believe their own spin - if you say its all alright for long enough it's got to be true. As a state governmment employee I've seen first hand the desire to disort the facts, cook the books, hide the true figures and ignore any constructive criticism - its a dirty word to have an original idea or to say that a problem actually exists - they perfer to sweep it under the carpet and pretend there is no problem.

Money has been wasted on sports and the arts that should have gone to core state government functions - health, education and emergency services. Under this Labor government the staff moral in hospitals, schools, police, ambulance and fire has hit an all time low as the state government has mistreated and bullied its employees to follow the mantra - everythings ok, we are the SMART state ..... lies, lies and more lies has been the mantra of the Queensland labor government. If we fail to vote out this government be prepared for a debt ridden Queensland for decades to come. We have already lost our triple A rating meaning we pay more interest than ever before.

Hopefully 21st March will be the date for Queensland turning over a new leaf.

Carlo Sand Blow

If ever you visit Rainbow Beach, Queensland, can I suggest you take a short detour to the Carlo Sand Blow. Most people visit Rainbow beach to go on the ferry to Fraser Island. But there is heaps you can do at Rainbow Beach itself. Rainbow beach is 71 km from Gympie off the Bruce Highway. I suggest if you want to see it before it changes forever, now is the time, because the traditional feel of the beach side town is being destroyed by the building of numerous large white units close to the beach. Shortly it will be just another Noosa.

But back to the Carlo Sand Blow. The Carlo sand blow is a huge sand dune kept open by constant wind. Great fun to walk over - so long as you are cautious and don't try to get too close to the cliff edge above the beach. The Carlo Sand Blow is accessed by a short walk - about 500m down a well define gravel path with a slight rise and a series of steps through surrounding bushland.

The sand dune itself is worth seeing, but if you're lucky you will also see para gliders taking advantage of the steady winds. There were three there on the day we visited and you can see a white chute in the middle of the picture below. There is a sign saying para gliders are not to land amongst the swimming section of the beach, but I imagine if you are landing at speed you don't always have a choice of where you end up - typical government red tape - please don't crash here!


You can try sliding down the sides of the dunes, but I don't know if the climb is worth it, my calves are still paying for it today. But if your a health nut and want a great work out for your legs - climb the steep side of the dunes bare foot. I personally like the views the best - the blue sea, the cool wind, well worth the trip - though I suggest you take a bottle of water - it gets hot. The picture below gives you an idea of the scale.

New Breed of Flower?

Is this a new breed of flower? No its proof that flowers in vases continue to 'drink' water. Blue dry was put into the water and was sucked up the stem and into the very tips of the petals making for an strange, but interesting looking flower.

I haven't written much random rabble lately as I've been a bit frustrated at the search engines. I had a couple of sites doing really well but then they just die - not happy jan! With this lost in search engine numbers so the adsense income died - very annoying - earning money on the internet is a bit like a lottery - some strike it rich, some get little payouts and some get nothing at all.

Politics and current events are boring at the moment so not much to talk about there.

That said I've written a few new articles on the Nintendo Wii and started a new blog based around the Wii. If you are looking for a place to download games for your Wii click on this link.

Beijing Olympics - China comes of age

Well I for one loved the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. The music, history and lightening was fantastic and the use of the stadium itself as a backdrop was magic. The swimming center with its radical design - "the cube" with its plastic bubbles is cutting edge design and when lit up at night will be a must see attraction in Beijing years after the games has finished.

China has really put on a great display with beautiful venues just dripping with history and color. I'm sure their tourism industry will get a big boast from the media attention. The temples, palaces, the great wall - It all shouts - come and visit. I stand by my previous post - China does seriously need to become Environmentally concerned, aiming to improve air and water quality - but I now say it because China should not hide its wonders in a cloud of smog.

As for the Olympics ..... Well done, China, congratulations.

Rising Oil Prices

Every one other than rich oil producers - hate the rising price of oil and we are all feeling it at the pump, which means less money in your pocket. Thankfully since moving to a small town my fuel bills are smaller as I travel less distance now. I'd encourage those petrol guzzling Americans to get rid of their SUV's and drive economical cars. And stop using fuel oil to heat your homes - get a wood heater. What you burn is carbon neutral so long as you are planting trees in place of the ones you are burning.

One particularly disgusting site was the Chinese having to clean up the bays where the Olympic Sailing is suppose to take place - huge green algae blooms not just in the water but growing above it as well stacking huge rafts of green crap - yuck! - I think China will need to re examine how it industrializes or the sudden leap forward will be a leap straight into a toxic hell hole.

It's interesting how the internet works. This blog on random rabble from my mind receives a lot of hits from tattoo searches thanks to the picture of the cow tattoo in an early post.

My first ebook.

First I've written my first ebook. Its 23 pages and 6,500 words long. Its all about how to making money with Global Domains International and understanding the GDI back office. It's not to bad even if I say so myself. My only problem was I couldn't embed the links in with the text, so I just put an activate link in brackets after the text - not ideal, but I'll sort the problem out in later editions. It's nice to get your first ebook completed and I hope its the first of many now I know how to do it.

Not every day you get a comment post from Robert Kiyosaki

If you don't know who Robert Kiyosaki is - go to your local bookstore or library and get Rich Dad Poor Dad - and get yourself a life.

I had Robert post to one of my blogs - on making money online. What a shock - a man I've revered and admired actually blogged me! Robert has started his own online blog - called not surprisingly Richdad - I predict it will quickly become one of the most popular blogs on blogger and have a page rank to match once the word gets out. His posts are full of great financial information and he continues to teach. Now it looks like I better get investing in some gold and silver before the recession really hits.

Robert thanks for your comment.

Great Hail Storm

Its been awhile since I've seen a decent Hail Storm, but we had a good one yesterday. Not so much due to the size of the hail - the biggest pieces were about marble size. But more due to the quantity. My wife picked it on the drive to get our son from school. As we came to a rise that has a great view at a set of traffic lights, the sky had intense greys and bubbling of a thunderstorm. My wife said, "Those clouds have hail." Sure enough without half an hour the hail came down.

I've included some pictures of the hail here. It was heavy enough to trim the trees of a lot of their leaves and the ground became frosted with a mist/fog rising up from the ground, it was very zen - the kids loved it - hell so did I. Its nice to be given a good surprise by nature now and then.


Thats not broken glass - it's ice.

Sense of Humor

I was surfing the net and it is good to see even coppers have a sense of humor.

There is a great thread with funny police photos - click the link below.

*Police Forum*

I hate the Flu

I hate the flu. It starts with a sore throat and then you know no matter what you do you are going to feel like crap for the next few days. Medications just seem to zone one out. Perhaps this is the real demonstration of where modern medicines limitations are. The only answer - drink lots of fluids and have lots of sleep - i.e. let your body natural immune system do the work.

However this allows me to remember how good I generally have it in life and what a precious gift good health is. It's not until your sick that you can really appreciate how good it is to be well. Perhaps that what life is - we put up with bad times because they make the good times even better.

That's my random rabble for today - very random due to a full on head cold.

Are you exercising enough?

After a decent walk today up hill and down dale, I realized that in today's modern world we don't do enough exercise or use our body as its meant to. Get out and exercise each day - you will feel better for it.

That's my random rabble for today.

Buying more ebooks - RICH JERK

I brought the Rich Jerk's ebook. After getting through the normal barrage of SPECIAL offers I downloaded the ebook. Very easy to download and easy to read. Its 65 pages long and covers the basic of internet marketing.

Now I've done the big move and unpacked the house (hell of a job - hopefully won't have to do it for a long while - at least I like the new house), I've decided to get serious about my online ventures. The article directory - article-gems continues to grow, but the growth in adsense income is slow, so slow - my best day was $8 - I only wish that was every day. It takes time to approve articles and so many of them will just be duplicate content anyhow. GDI has plateau at the moment until I can find a new way to market it so I'm going to get serious about clickbank marketing - with this in mind I've started a new blog to review clickbank products - making money online review.

Moving to a small town

Well we've moved out of the city into a country town. This has many advantages - cheaper rent, less travel, cleaner air, lower crime, etc. I don't know why we see the need to congregate into large cities anyhow. The town I've moved to has nearly everything I wanted and used before and its closer - so I don't why people always think big is better.

Earth Hour - What a Fraud

The media is going on about how wonderful earth hour is and how much power we will save by taking part in earth hour. Another typical example of mass ignorance. As most of our power comes from coal powered plants, this one hour, even if everybody cut power use to zero would be not save one thing - why? - because coal power plants take a long time to get up to full producing power capacity, they can't shut down for one hour, or even reduce the furness to low. They can't lessen the amount of coal used as they need to keep up steam pressure up. Letting it cool for an hour and then reheating it will only increase the amount of coal used - so you will have to forgive me because I'll be keeping my lights on. If you really want to make a difference - install a solar panel or solar hot water heater - you will make a real difference instead of some valueless P.C. hour of feel good crap.

Talking about crap - Man has a baby - more of the gender and sexual confusion rubbish from the modern media. One - Any person who has the tackle changed - is still whatever their DNA says they are. Painting an apple orange and injecting it with orange juice - won't change it into an orange - it just recks a perfectly good apple. Two - just how confused is this gay activist? Man/women/Gay/straight - I'm not sure she really knows, first she's a lesbian, then she's a "man" and now a mother! Get your head read lady. The "Gay" lifestyle promoted by the media only brings confusion and destruction of the family in the long term - the Bible, in particular Romans chapter 3 - points out the true fruits - this is a direct result of rejecting God.

What is olde England thinking?

Great Britain is tightening up immigration and visa rules and taking a dump on old friends.

No one should be mistaken the long history Australia and New Zealand have with Britain. The Union Jack is on the flag of both countries for a reason. Both had the majority of settlers from Britain, speak English, have a British based form of government and have the Queen as their head of state. That is why is was a shock down under when Britain is talking of changing long term immigration policy.

Britain has a long history of difficulty on immigration with politicians speechs of 'blood on the street'. Much of Britain is no longer British with urban ghettos of various cultures from around the world creating a 'multicultural' Britain for better or worse. In fact it is often said if you want to go to a real English city you need to go to Christchurch, New Zealand or for a Scottish one - Dunedin. Certainly the current political situation with Muslim Britain shows the dramas immigration has created and that all is not so rosy with having all the colors of the rainbow.

Now Britain is taking even closer steps to Europe and faces a flood of immigrants from the former Eastern European countries. So what does the British government do? Is talks of tightening up on immigration and getting rid of the grandfather clause. The Grandfather clause allowed one if they had a grand parent born in Britain to get a visa to work and live in the country for 4 years. From down under a six month visa was also available - there is now talk of getting limiting this to 3 months and getting rid of the grandfather clause all together. I'm not sure how my British grandfather would feel about this, but as his grandson - I'm not happy. Once again the British elite - much to the frustration of real British people - takes a step closer to Europe and dumps on its heritage. What was the point of all those centuries of empire building, wars, deaths, and transportation - if you are only going to spit on it at a later date - Queen Victoria would be vomiting in her grave. I would be also interested in the legal power a native of New Zealand has in automatically claiming British citizenship as guaranteed by the Queen in 1840 under treaty!!

The fact of the matter is if Britain cuts this last link to its former friends down under we may as well cut the union jack off the Australian and New Zealand flags and throw the Queen out as head of our state because Britain will have demonstrated that Europe is their only concern. If that's the case - don't come calling for us to get involved in your next war, or expect the flock of tourists you currently have from our countries - I'm off to visit the great wall of China instead!

CLICKBANK -Bum Marketing

I just read a great article on Bum Marketing - how to make money through clickbank without any money - hence the title "BUM".

Many people are struggling to make money today - thankfully the internet offers a way to make money.

Affiliate programs such as clickbank are a good way to increase you income if you are willing to educate yourself just a little bit. Bum Marketing points out the importance of article directories in this process - article directories such as article-gems.com - http://www.article-gems.com are a great place to start because they allow direct affiliate links in the resource box. Huge article directories such as Ezine articles attract traffic but do not allow affiliate links - so you need a intermediate website or blog - like Computer Games Review gives you an example of what I'm talking about.

Remember to make money online does not always require money - sometimes is just requires hard work.

SHOW ME THE MONEY~

Year continues to roll on.

Once again time flies and we are already into the new year. This year we get an extra day as this month is a leap year - 29 days in February.

My online business continues to grow with adsense income growing - my aim to the get to $100 a month min. by the end of the year, preferably $10 a day to give enough spare income to pay for an overseas trip. Along with this my other sources of online income include Global Domains International - a great MLM program and I about to get serious about my income coming from click bank and give bum marketing of clickbank products a serious go. I'll keep you updated as always with the progress.

Article-gems continues to grow and now is over 40,000 articles strong and it one of my online success stories.

Compensation for the Stolen Generation?!

Julia Gillard once called John Howard a cunning politician - and that he was. He was smart enough to know the moment you apologize for something - admitting what you did was wrong - that someone will then be holding out their hand for payment in compensation. And sure enough that is what was on the news today - A BILLION dollar payout for the 'stolen' generation is being demanded. Its not enough that a billion dollars a year was given to ATSIC to largely waste until the Liberal government put a halt to the gravy train - the lawyers and their professional salesmen - the professional agitators, see the Labour's government apology as a source of a stream of income for years to come. I can guarantee you it won't stop at a Billion dollars, that will just be the first installment. The Maori Land claims in New Zealand show that once you start throwing money at agitators and their lawyers that it fast becomes an open wound stirred constantly for financial gain. A billion dollars would be about $40 for each and every Australian. That's $160 for my family. I pay enough tax now for the drug users, the scumbags, the social welfare professionals, and the professional baby incubators without adding another special interest group to the mix - particularly when they are already over-represented in the social welfare bill. I worry about having enough to pay the petrol bill let alone paying for events before my birth. Now don't get me wrong - it was a crappy deal to be ripped from your family and thrown into an alien culture - but before we start whinging for all the poor native peoples of the world I would like to remind you of some of my own family history - I've got Scottish peasants who were thrown off their land and forced to emigrate or starve, I've got Irish ancestors who were forced off their land by English landlords, I've got French Protestants who had to leave France thanks to their Catholic neighbors wanting to kill them ala the Saint Bartholomew's day massacre, no doubt they left a lot of property behind as they had to quickly flee and I've got English ancestors who had the joy of the land enclosures that saw the small landholders stuffed by the 'crown' in the interests of the aristocracy. In fact if history teaches anything its that people get screwed over ALL THE TIME. Hell I'd like compensation for being sold a lemon car, over paying for a house, being assaulted and injured or a million other shitty things that life throws up - But it aint happening.

Call me a red neck or if your honest - call me someone to understand history and tells it like it is. If you want to get ahead - stop bitching about the past and get on building a future. That's why I respect the Jews. Despite a history of thousands of years of being murdered, butchered, robbed, etc time and time again they pick themselves up and get on with life and on the whole succeed. I wish some others would take a leaf out of their book. If you want to get ahead - not just in this generation - but for the generations to come - stop looking for a hand out and start fighting to build a legacy.

Now I've had that rave - I'll start on Cricket. The Australian Cricket team - the best in the world, have come up against the biggest cricket nation in the world - India and its been like the irresistible force against the immovable object. The result India has currently suspended its Australian tour. Eventually this was going to happen - Australia seems to have a problem with the Asian teams - I remember fights with Sri Lanka which saw their top spinner refusing to come to Australia for a while. The fact is Cricket is a religion in South Asia - Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh - and that is where the future and money of the game is. Hence despite being the best team in the world Australia should tread carefully unless it wants to run out of countries to play against. Its a shame Clarke's 3 wickets in an over would have gone down in history if it wasn't for the disputes and arguments.

That's my random rabble for today.

Labor wins Federal Election.

Well my last post was dead on the mark - labor won and won in a landslide. The liberals failed to help the battlers and paid the price. I think it will be out of Kevin Rudd's hands as to how the economy performs - with rising fuel prices and a coming economic storm I think he has been handed a poison chalice. America is about to have to pay the price for decades of debt and massive trade deficits, the country is nearly bankrupt and the US dollar is in free fall. When the storm finally hits the U.S. it will cease to import Chinese products and their economy will tank and then all Asia will follow - with no one needing Australia's raw materials - the building boom will stop overnight and the tradesmen who have been earning $100,000 plus a year will struggle to find work.

A storm is coming what have you done to prepare for it?

Looming Federal Election

Well Australia is in the throws of another Federal Election with all the promises and tax payers money thrown around like its candy. The fact of the matter is John Howard will lose this election for a number of reasons - he is seen as passed his prime - an old man desperately trying to cling on to power for the benefit of his own ego. His outrageous promise to keep interest rates low - something pretty much out of his control which has backfired tremendously with numerous interest rate rises (7 I think). That he let the housing market over cook itself and now rents are skyrocketing and new home buyers have stuff all chance of getting into their own house. Finally the lies about inflation - that it is at the top end of the 3% level - I don't know what inflation figure they make up but it is certainly not the one for the average Australian. We know our living expenses have near doubled in the last five years - petrol - doubled, housing - doubled, food - doubled - these are the items that make up most average peoples budget and when they go up we scream for a pay rise to keep our head above water. And what to we get - Workchoices - designed to push wages DOWN - that was the final straw for most Australians and that why I believe Rudd's Labor party will get in. Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of Labor and its radicals. Despite Rudd saying Marriage is between a Man and Woman, don't be surprised if the family unit as the basis of society is destroyed further by 'civil unions' or something similar being allowed and condemning Australia further into an Atheistic sinkhole. Likewise the Labor State governments are well overdue for replacement and look to see them start dropping like flies. Australians are smart enough to try and keep different parties in each position - stops them totally destroying the country.


Despite this I a life long Conservative voter will be voting Labor and that should have the Liberals quaking in their boots that they have lost traditional voters. Why? because I'm going backwards financially if I solely rely on income from my job (Just over broke). Thankfully my internet business continues to grow and gives hope that I will be able to buy that home and take my family on a world trip - things that make life worth living. Global Domains International is growing steadily and in about a year will be doing very well - if you need a second income and home business that won't drive you further into debt I recommend GDI which at only $10 a month is simply the best internet business out there. My article directory continues to grow - article-gems.com heading towards its first birthday and 25,000 articles. This time next year I hope to have 100,000 articles and be earning a serious adsense income. These two businesses combined income in a year I hope to be earning enough to meet my dreams of a deposit for a house and/or a world trip.

How Stupid are People really

How Stupid are People really? Watch the video and judge for yourself.

American Politics

American politics (and Australian for that matter) is known for lies, liars, and B.S. But American politics is quickly becoming the laughing stock of the world. Already having a President universally perceived around the world as a bit of a thickie, Senators were beginning to feel left out. So we have some self claimed right wing politician very anti-homosexual being caught in homosexual acts - totally hypocritical. These people have helped destroy a moderate Christian voice trying to speak to the world about real family values. In a world fast losing any form of morality any voice now trying to speak against this trend will now come under even more attacks.

Perhaps my best argument for outcome of do as you feel brigade is Britney Spears latest performance at the MTV awards - quite frankly Britney has never been the same since kissing Madonna on stage at the MTV awards - since then she has spiraled into ever increasingly weird actions - is there a link (i.e. removing all moral principles) and this self destruction. Judge for yourself. Once know for professional performances and the hardest working abs in Hollywood, she will now be known as having the softest working flap in Hollywood.


Here is a spoof of that performance.

RV's - Recreational Vehicles - Serious motor homes

One of my goals with my internet businesses is to one day own an RV and have my advertising all down the side. Some of the pictures below give an idea of what a serious luxury motor homes are being produced. They are better than most people's standard homes.








If you have to travel large distances on land why not do it in style. With Global Domains International I'm closer to reaching my goals, what are you doing to reach yours?

Simpsons Movie Reviewed

Watched the Simpsons - The Movie - and found it not worth the effort. It seemed just like a regular Simpsons episode just stretched into a movie length version.

It starts with Bart and Homer laughing at who would pay to see the Simpsons Movie when you get to watch them free on TV. After seeing the movie I not only agree, I want my money back. The Simpsons Movie was a total DUD. The storyline line - about the city being stuck in a glass dome a total stretch and why the Simpsons Family went to Alaska when it took about 5 minutes of the story is beyond me.


THE FILM STUCKED, BIG TIME. I wouldn't even bother getting it out on DVD. There were about 3 Jokes and most of those are in the trailer.

Just go to show, don't expect writers who for ten years have made a 30 minute T.V. show to be able to drag that out to a movie - obviously beyond their talents.

Here it comes, the next recession

Here it comes, with the stock market now reaching its peak and tons of nervous investors big daily drops are becoming the norm. I think October will be the big crash - its the traditional month when investors lose the plot.

Thanks to too much debt a period of contraction is bound to happen sooner or later. What are you doing to create a second income?

I'm building my online businesses. JOIN HERE.

What's with Hollywood?

What's with Hollywood? Or at least the female components. Young actresses seem to be going off the rails at a great rate of knots. Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and now Lindsay Lohan. I suppose that's what you when to combine money with no moral purpose, drugs, fame, and fast living with a sense of being superior to everyone else and your eventually going to come unstuck. Its really sad, drugs are not only bad - they are down right evil. She is just lucky she didn't kill someone driving around like a lunatic.


As for me I'm far to busy building a future for my family to be out at party's, etc. The last two months have been great in Global Domains International - not just for me, but for my down line as well. If you are looking for a source of second income I strongly recommend GDI. Over time it will grow to be your primary income and unleash your dreams.

Movies Reviewed

Part of having a family with young kids is the difficulty of getting out and about in activities at night that are family orientated. Thankfully nearby we have a drive in movie theater which runs two large screens with four movies. We watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.



People were raving about Harry Potter's first kiss, in reality it is a small part of the movie. Perhaps the highlight is a serious battle between the dark lord and the head of hogwarts with some serious special effects going on.

Enjoyable although the film always seems to be done in very low light conditions, probably to create a dark mood - but its over done and makes some scenes difficult to follow.

As for the story Harry is once again on the outer and a almost Nazi teacher takes over the school - will definitely appeal to rebellious teenagers out there - themes of fighting against the system etc. On the whole fits in nicely with the other films but would not stand alone. Unless you've watched the three previous films you would be wasting your time watching this one by itself.



Transformers will appeal to those who use to watch the cartoons, however for someone like me who wasn't into the cartoons the storyline seemed lamed, the special effects on the other hand were amazing and are really the only reason to watch the film and the young actress is easy on the eyes with a nice flat stomach. However I wouldn't recommend the film to serious people. This film is a fantasy play action adventure film, nothing more.

That's my blog for today.

Real New Zealand History

What is the real history of New Zealand, with 'indigenous groups' making ever greater demands of treaty claims to the New Zealand Government one wonders what would be the case if Maori's weren't the original settlers of New Zealand?

I came across an interesting site at http://www.zealand.org.nz/history.htm
which under the radical section proposes a very different history for New Zealand, one where many bloods were mixed together - a process that continues to this very day.

The Airship

Had an airship fly close by the house recently. What a sight to behold. It is a shame these are not more popular. They float by with more grace and less noise and the airplanes in such a hurry to get to the next destination. Airships give a chance to enjoy the view. The one is small compare to what was produced in days gone by. I would have loved to see one of the huge ones of yesteryear. Today they are relegated to advertising duties. This one advertising Holden. A much better ad than on T.V. or pulling a flyer behind a plane - now if I could just get one to advertise my internet businesses.

Busy week with GDI

I've had a busy week with my Global Domains International Business. I've learnt to convert more leads than ever and that means growth. The potential of the programs really starting to show itself. However what has made the difference is my mindset to step up to the plate and be a good sponsor. If you start any MLM business, ask yourself - would I want me to be my own sponsor. If you can't say yes to that question you need to change - big time. As part of being the best sponsor I can be I constantly update my blog - Ultimate Global Domains International - a help blog designed to help anyone in Global Domains International. On top of that I have regularly been attending training conference calls with Marty Orcutt and Tim Sebert - two blokes who already have succeeded online and in MLM. They give great advice. If your looking for a responsible sponsor who steps up to the plate, I would be happy to sponsor you in Global Domains International. http://website.ws/alstar70

More Random Rabble

I love computer games and one of the things that seems to be growing in popularity is the rebirth of 80's computer games. Classics like ghosts, karate, etc. Even though the graphics are very budget by today's standards many people still like playing them again. Why? Because they were a simple game play idea, the ideas they were based on were unique at the time on not just copy cat games and it gives people a feel of reliving their misspent youth. Fun all around. The copyrights still exist for many of these games, but most of the game houses are on to bigger and better things and its not worth chasing copyright on 'ancient' games where the legal fees is more than any possible returns.

Thats my random rabble for today.

Mac Versus PC

No doubt your seen those annoying ads Mac versus PC, where Mac slags off on PC - this is a different south park type parody on those ads. I found it very funny.

Disgust - Some sick evil bastard deleted 48 of my blogs

Some sick evil bastard delete 48 of my blogs - all my blogs. What is truly sickening it that most of the blogs were not for profit but for fun and the general education of the internet community. Particularly the recipe blogs, the blog on early Auckland History and the blog on the second world war which was dedicated to my Great Uncle Ivan who died in the North African Campaign. Which sick twisted mind would delete a blog dedicated to a dead Anzac - truly you are a sub-human being.

However I am not the type of person to just take this lying down. I will rebuild. Most of the blogs will come better and be even better.

See below for the recover cache off google. I will put the pictures and videos back but it may take time.

The Graveyard shift.

Any one who has worked night work knows why they call it the grave yard shift. Its because you feel like your partaking in a slow death. And in reality you are. Studies have shown that people who are shift workers lose YEARS off their lives. Such is the impact on the body. In fact most times I do a night no matter how much sleep I get during the day I feel like crap. Because I this I'm glad I'm building an income that doesn't require physical assaults on my body and that is slowly building my financial freedom.

Sucked in Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and is famous for little more than being famous has come to the full attention of the law. Bad enough that she believed she could drive around smashed in the first place - she then ignores the court and drives while disqualified. Hey Paris having a Bentley doesn't mean you own the road. Paris is a classic example of just because you have money - doesn't mean you have class. Likewise just because you have money doesn't mean your above everyone else. She could have easily afforded a driver but instead chose to ignore the court. I couldn't believe the shit her lawyer was trying to feed the press about his client being singled out. She spent her life trying to single herself out and now shouldn't complain about the results.

I hope the forty five days in Jail is a wake up call for a women who thinks it is cool to go around commando! I suggest she doesn't do that in prison or she might not like the added consequences!

Back into the slog.

Well after some nice holidays I've returned to the rat race of my government job. If my internet concerns keep growing though eventually going to work with be MY choice and not a choice because I financially have to. I choose the internet to start online business ventures because my business is own home based and doesn't physically wear me out. I have friends who have started businesses like landscaping, etc. But while they earn good money they are tired, sun burnt and spend less time with their family.

My idea of a good business is one that puts money in my pocket and increases your time with your family, not one that leaves to tired and without energy.

The other thing I love about the internet is it gives you a vent for self expression.

That's my though for the day.

Making Money Online: Google Adsense

Although there is much we do online simply for the fun of it. Most of what we do is done in the hope to earn some extra income. Eventually I want to be able to retire from my regular job thanks to online income. The internet has the potential to make this possible.

One of the easiest ways to earn money online is through Google Adsense. The easiest ways to get accepted is to click on a link and fill in the information required to be accepted as a Google Publisher.

One important rule:- NEVER CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADS. Google will ban you.

At first you will only make a bit of pocket money. However as your traffic builds up so will your Google income. One days I would love to be a member of the 10,000 club. These are people who earn over $10,000 dollars a month through Google adsense. The check is couriered out to them personally. On top of that they often get gifts from Google with Google logo's and the like - free T-shirts, promotional materials and more.

If your going to do anything online the very first thing you must do is join adsense.

The link is on the right column. Scroll down for the banner.

Another thing that is great from Google is Google Firefox browser. Its free, will remember passwords and more and I find it to be the best browser available. Its certainly quicker than most and you can easily open multiple tabs and windows.

Getting the Extended Warranty

My wife and I always get the extended warranty because we always seem to need it.

A lot of people go through life without any extended warranty they never have a problem, everything is easy for them. I am not one of those people. I live in the world of Murphy's law - if something can go wrong it properly will. This doesn't mean I can have success in life - it just means I have to work at it. My online businesses are growing and succeed because I keep at it. Other people join a program like Global Domains International and have instant success, others like me live in the real world where you are only rewarded by putting time and effort in. Likewise with building our other online business, Google adsense and affiliate marketing. Does this mean we can't enjoy success. No it means we enjoy it more because we earned it, fought for it, struggled for it. Great achievements in life are those achieved against the odds.

I recently listened to the story of a man who won the largest lottery prize yet - over $300 million dollars. You would think his dreams came true. He was going to help a lot of people. In truth it destroyed his life. He turned to alcohol and his life began to fall about. 'Success' was destroying him.

My wife and I don't have success fall in our lap. Take for example our luck with household appliances. We had a fridge die (replaced under extended warranty). Had a computer play up on three occasions (repaired three times - last time under extended warranty), its printer played up twice as well. The washing machine last month died (repaired under extended warranty).
And just yesterday I was saying to the wife about how the big screen television had been the one appliance we brought that hadn't caused us a problem. She had "you've jinxed us now".

You know what happened. Today I was watching the news on the LG Big screen rear projection television and I heard a sparking, smelt burning and the screen died. Thankfully its still under extended warranty and we will be getting a repairer around to fix it or replaced under warranty.

So we could take two views - one we are unlucky, life is unfair and give up. Or face reality - fight for success, put everything on a surge guard and buy the extended warranty.

Updating Blogs

Thanks to Blogger updating I've been busy updating some of my favorite blogs to take advantage of the new Blogger page elements options like RSS, HTML/JAVA, Photos, Links, Text, etc. There appears to be less templates to choose from but each site is more customizable.

Hopefully it will help to increase my adsense revenue. I'm aiming for $100 a month so I can get a monthly income check to spend on internet advertising. I think once I get that sort of regular money resource to put into my internet business it will really take off.

I even recently purchased some advertising - 20,000 views and even though a lot of the people will not doubt instantly click off I have noticed a descent increase in revenue, etc.

As they say it takes money to make money.

The Fast is over.

You never realize just how many cooking shows are on T.V. until you go on a fast.

My wife didn't want me to go on too long as she thought it would not be good for my health. I went 43 hours which is the longest I've ever gone without food. I dropped nearly 2 kilos - probably none of it fat - a bit scary. Never mind I didn't get that hungry but I did miss the taste of food. I also felt tired on the second day of my fast and was slower in doing things.

You'd think your body would be glad to get some food back into it, but even after only two days my reaction to eating was that I felt bloated and actually preferred the feeling when I hadn't eaten.

If nothing else it was a good discipline in self control and gave a chance for my digestive system to take a temporary break.

Continuing Business Success

If you need more money (and who doesn't), you need to have an online business. One of the things we do online and love is Global Domains International. Our down line continues to grow. It is an international opportunity that reaching across multi-lingual barriers. In fact our latest member/partner is from Argentina and represents a great opportunity to contact Spanish speakers.

If you looking for a great business opportunity we recommend GDI.

Hungry!!!

Well it is now 24 hours since I had something to eat and its not been easy. I just didn't realize how often I got up and went to the fridge to have a snack. I got up numerous times and went to grab a snack and just stopped my self in time reminding myself I'm on a fast.

The wife cooked chips for the boys tonight and that was not fun. I WANTED some of that nice fat and cooked chips. Smelled so nice. Although I've wanted food I can't say I've suffer any real hungry pains. I want to eat more because I want the nice tastes and flavors, not because I feel like I'm fading away. I haven't noticed any huge lack of energy, mind you I haven't been doing any physical demanding activities.

I went to the shops and brought some food. Thats difficult buying yummy stuff knowing your not going to be eating any of it.

WEIGHT: 78.2 kg. Probably not real lost of weight, just the crap that builds up in your digestive tract, etc.

MMORPG's

I haven't yet played too many MMORPG's. What is a MMORPG? It is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. I learnt about it from South Parks episode parodying World of Warcraft which was a total scream. Being a bit of a internet and game addict myself I'm a bit surprised I haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet. Probably Australia's lack of decent broadband speed is the main reason. Kevin Rudd's suggestion of investing in speeding up Australia's broadband speed sounds like a better idea than just leaving a couple of billion in the bank and gaining interest. I think in the long term Australia's economy will be disadvantaged if we don't embrace the internet more with billions of dollars in transactions occurring and great business opportunities like Global Domains International, affiliate marketing, etc. The funny thing about MMORPG is they have become so popular with millions of players that they now have their own economies with rates of exchange against real currency. In the case of Linden Dollars from the MMORPG Second Life the exchange rate is stable at $270 Linden Dollars to one US dollar. The whole point of second life is to create on online fantasy economy with shops, malls, casinos, etc all owned by their online creators. Some people have been so successful in this online world, they make 'real' fortunes - some are earning over $5000 US a month. I tried second life because its free to trial but I didn't think much of it, probably the experience was down graded due to connection speed which made the experience far from flowing. Australia really needs faster internet.

MMORPG's have been the subject of much humor and much satire probably because of their addictive nature and the fact many people prefer there fantasy world to their real one. This is only likely to get worse as these fantasy world's become more realistic. You will know the process between fantasy and reality has really blurred when the governments start taxing online fantasy revenue!

For the final word on MMORPG's I'll leave it to this Utube video in which various characters are in a 'serious' discussion on how to overcome a particular dungeon when a character called Leeroy Jenkins decides to take matters into his own hands.

Ebay Store Closes

We closed our Ebay Store.

In a desperate grabbed for more of our cash Ebay has upped the cost of running an online store from $14 to $20 (so much for a 3.5% inflation rate - yeh right). My wife had been running an ebay store selling cheap children's clothes. However ebay has shot themselves in the foot by increasing costs to sellers. No wonder most people on ebay are buyers. It costs the buyer nothing in fees, but as a seller you sometimes wonder if ebay is your silent business partner, rather than an advertising/auction supplier/forum.

Never mind we closed it and will concentrate on other online activities. Don't get me wrong we will still use ebay to sell one off auctions - we just won't have things for sale for 30 days. No doubt ebay won't cry at our lost. We've managed to sell a couple of thousand dollars of stuff that was lying around the home, but I don't think we have the means to make a real go of a successful online store unless we had the ability to import clothes direct from China.

I included this video below from YouTube which probably explains the ebay experience better than I can. Its a short musical video about ebay just click on the bottom left triangle. If you click on the middle of the video you will be taken to the Youtube site.

Going on a Fast: Fighting the Buddha Belly

I'm Going on a Fast to Fight against my growing Buddha Belly.

Thanks to a developing middle age spread I decided to go on a fast. I will be drinking water only and will publish my success and failure on the net. I'm on holidays at the moment so this is as good a time as any. I've been eating too much crap lately anyhow and its time to give the digestive system a break and clean out. Start time 18:00hrs Tuesday 17/4/2007. My previous best was for the 40 hours famine when I was a teenager so will be see how I go this time

Current Weight: 79 kilo's - 174 Pounds or 12.4 stone.
Stomach:- Looks like a fat gut Buddha Belly. Or five months pregnant.

Radical Solution:- Stop Eating.

Working on the simple, but radical solution that if I stop shoveling stuff in my mouth I will lose weight and fat I will track my results. This principle comes from the logical conclusion that their were no fat people in concentration camps - starve people and they will be thin - genetics is NO excuse. I've also read that it is a good way to clean toxins out of your system and is used for spiritual and religious purposes, enlightening the mind.

Of course sitting for hours in front of the computer probably doesn't help with burning those extra calories. I'm not so worried about the weight - in fact 80 kilos would be a good weight for someone who's 178 cm tall if it was all muscle - but it ain't. I don't have any fat on my legs, ass, arms - as with most men my fat ends up in one place - my stomach. Hardly an attractive look. Now I'm not going to say anything as radical as I won't stop until I have a six pack or rock hard abs - but I expect at least to see some notable to the size of my waist!!! Time will tell.

I told my supportive wife and she merely laughed? It is great to see that I inspire such faith in people especially those close to me.





In a blatant grab for cash I will be adding affiliate ads (like banners and the like) to this blog hence you will see some banners.

Visiting London ONE DAY:-

My Dream to Visit London - England.

It has been my desire for many a year to visit London. It was six generations ago that various branches of my family left England, Ireland and Scotland in the 1840's for Down under, New Zealand. Like most people I would love to travel but like most people there is one main thing in my way - Money. It doesn't help that the exchange rate of the Aussie Dollar to the Pound is not at all a poor Australian's favor making any trip to Europe an expensive option. Despite this I like to dream and have written my top seven sites in London that I would like to visit.

(These accompanying photos are royalty free coming courteously of Stock Xchange and Royalty free photos for websites, PowerPoint, newletters, forums, blogs, schools and homework - FreeDigitalPhotos.net).

My top seven sites that I want to visit in London as listed below - for the full article visit article-gems The British Museum - thanks to its old empire days here lies one of the greatest collections of artifacts in the world. Who cares if it was stolen, pillaged, whatever - I'm just thankful that its been protected all in one place. Founded in 1753 it contains many great treasures thanks to the former power of the British Empire. Some of the treasures include Egyptian Mummies, Portland Vase, Mildenhall Treasure, Sutton Hoo Treasure, Elgin Marbles and classical pottery. Such is the quality of the collection it could also be called an art gallery as well as a collection of human history.


Buckingham Palace - no, not to visit what has at least on the outside to be one of the ugliest palace around - but to see the sights such as the changing of the guard walk the mall and look at the Victoria Monument. I've seen it on T.V. for enough weddings and funerals I would like to visit in person.



Westminster Abbey - one of the best looking grave yards in the world. The Gothic architecture, poets corner and the historical tombs and monuments. Whilst there a quick photo op over at the houses of parliament and Big Ben (which is the name of the bell).


The Tower of London - just to lust over crown jewels, or to listen to the Beefeaters tell a few yarns, at least I won't be entering through traitor's gate. The central feature is the White Tower which was built around 1097 for defense purposes. The Beefeaters - or Yeoman Warders guard the tower. Eventually the tower was used for more internal defense of the realm rather than defense from external enemies. As such it functioned as a prison for many high profile including Henry VIII's wife, and other 'important' executions.




Saint Paul's Cathedral - more crypts and a beautiful place of worship. Design by Christopher Wren rebuilding plan for London after the great fire it has survived the blitz and continues to function as a church for all of London holding the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill and the wedding of Charles and Di. Like Westminster abbey there are many important tombs and memorials.


The Royal Albert Hall - preferably visiting on the last night of the proms. Opened in 1870 it brings a touch of ancient Rome to London. Name after Victoria's dead German husband it has an appropriate memorial to Albert out the front rightly remember a man who was such a fan of the industrial age.


London's Parks, Kew Gardens, Kensington, Regent's Park, Hyde Park, Green Park, Saint James feeding the ducks, The serpentine, the beautiful trees or just the spaces of green.


(Some would argue I've missed out the Art Galleries, great sites - Trafalgar Square, Madame Tussaud's, other museums, Tower bridge, the London eye - perhaps after a visit I might be able to better rate these).

Thankfully there are many sites on the internet that offer free photos. Photographers happy to show off their work on the internet.

If waterfalls aren't your thing - how about hot air ballooning.

Of course you can always shoot higher.

Miami Ink

When Tattoo's Go Bad A Look at Miami Ink.

It is interesting that one of my favorite shows on television is Miami Ink. Why? Because I am probably one of the last persons in the world who would ever get a tattoo. Despite this I still love the show. Even though I probably would never get a tattoo I can appreciate art. Essentially that is what Miami Ink is about, great artists producing a new art work each week. I especially like it when they go away from the traditional tattoo staples of skulls (tough stickers) and the like and move into flowers, wild life and portraits. The main characters of the show are the tattoo artists who work at Miami Ink. These include:- AMI - one of the main shop owners and very skilled with a hugely strong personality, dare if you do to call him bald considering he's a bit of a fighter. This strong personality comes out in his tattoo's his best work being when the client allows him to work free hand. NUNEZ co-owner of the business and is the party guy. He gives you the feeling he enjoys life and people. GARVER is probably the best tattoo artist in the shop having years of experience that wear on his body but when it comes to doing large pieces of substance he appears to be your man - just don't ask him to tattoo a fairy. KAT is the only female tattoo artist in the shop and is the person to see if you want a photo quality portrait of a close person you wish to remember. DARREN is the shortest in the group but that means he can get closer to his work. Finally there is YOJI the apprentice still nervously learning the trade. The show is mainly about the tattoo's but it is also about the artists and the people who come and visit. Most have a reason why they want a particular tattoo. This is what keeps the show fresh - new people every show. On top of that the show goes into the life of the artists - the fishing trips, the parties, the fun and the struggles, this makes you feel as a friend not just a viewer. Miami Ink is not just the name of a great tattoo shop Miami Ink is the name of a classic reality T.V. show. This article comes off article-gems article directory Of course not every tattoo is a work of art . . .

American's - Can anyone understand them?

America's double standards?

Don Imus, whose iconoclastic morning show regularly features interviews with politicians including presidential candidates, has been suspended for two weeks as black leaders clamour for his dismissal and urge a boycott of his programme .... In his show last Wednesday, following their defeat in the national championship final against the University of Tennessee, he told listeners: “That’s some rough girls from Rutgers...Man, they got tattoos - that’s some nappy-headed hos there.” The phrase “nappy-headed” refers to the tight curls of afro-textured hair, while “hos” is slang for whores. (courteousy Times Online) - once again showing how in the land of 'FREE SPEECH' how easy it is to stir up controversy! Considering worst is said on Jerry Springer and a million T.V. talk shows everyday once again we see how selective American's really can be. Obviously on T.V. its Ok, but on the Radio its somehow different?

Family Guy

Family Guy Fan

I love the family guy. I think it has taken over from the Simpsons as my favorite family based cartoon. Of course it is the baby that makes the show. His diabolical plots, super intelligence and desire for world domination provides much of the best scripts in the show. Having a talking dog is weird but somehow the show still works if your prepared not to ask too questions about reality.
