Try not to hold in your emotions, it can be painful and it’s alright to feel negative at times. Holy hell, I was so pissed today and to a certain extent I still am, but if I were to have held in those emotions, my body would go haywire along with my mind. It’s always good to talk things out too, but the one thing that people DON’T do when they talk things out is they don’t actually do something with the advice. Everyone’s guilty of it and it’s not a bad thing, but your problems will move a lot quicker if you listen to someone with more experience. That person for me, is probably my older sister and my really close friends. For you, it could be a parent, a friend, anybody. It doesn’t matter who it is. As long as you know that they’ve experienced what you have and got through it, then it should be find to talk to them.

Try not to take advice from people who probably don’t know anything about your situation. Would you ask your mechanic for medical advice? If you would, then have fun rubbing iodine on a broken bone (HAHA it’s supposed to be a joke, comedy!!). 

Being emotional isn’t the problem, controlling your emotions is.

Displaying your emotions

The reason I’m saying this is because a lot of divorces these days are caused because of poor money managing skills and debt. Money management should be #1 on our to-do list of life, because no matter how you look at it, money is VERY important. 

Love can’t be the only thing pushing a relationship. Love and logic placed together are a sure winner.

Logic + Love = Success

Whenever I was listening in on conversations people have, it seems that everyone’s ego is overshadowing their intelligence. Clothes, music, friends, it seems that all of this plays into people’s egos. People start to forget about other people and are so sucked into their own egotistical world that they forget about the happiness. People will sink down to the lowest level because someone else insulted them. This is what happens when 2 egos collide. They argue and argue, and fight, and hate, simply because they are insecure about themselves. 

What people don’t seem to get, is that there is a difference between ego and self-respect. Big egos make you look like an ignorant asshole. Self-respect means that no matter what happens, no matter who says what about you, that you can recover and come out stronger than before, because you love yourself enough. I’m not perfect. Of course people’s words have hurt me, and guess what? They still do. It’s all a part of being human. I’m just asking people to stop being so self-absorbed and to start reaching out to others. When you get too self-absorbed, you’re going to realize that there is no one else around you that cares about you.

Ego

So why do people reject friendship? Is it because of their view of what ‘annoying’ is or what ‘mean’ is or what ‘bitchy’ or anything else is? Everyone has their own personalities, and that’s something you have to deal with. You should embrace everybody and everything around you, because you never know when you’re going to lose something close to you. It’s the hardest thing to lose someone you love but at least you know that you’ve worked to create that relationship, whether it be friendship, dating or marriage. It’s hard to lose someone but at least you have memories of when you were with them. It’s hard to lose somebody but it would’ve been even worse if you had never met them in the first place.

It’s also impossible to be friends with everyone, but don’t be so picky. You never know when you’ll find the most amazing person, even if their first impressions aren’t so great. People are a lot deeper than you think. They may have more in common with you than you think. 

You know what I find interesting? I find it interesting that (and yes, I stole this from Denis) people will date someone after only a couple of days of knowing them, while the people that truly care for them, that have been waiting for that one day where they would be accepted by them, are never accepted. I find it funny that people will simply go with another person because they ‘feel them’ or because of how they dress or some dumb shit like that. I find it funny that people will be with someone because they’re the same race as them. And I find ithilarious that people will actually BLAME a whole gender for one breakup. I’ve seen it before. I’ve seen messages like “all women are bitches” or “all men are dogs” and it’s just so ignorant. YOUR relationship is an isolated situation and it has nothing to do with men or women in general. 

Something else that irritates the hell out of me is how people take other people for granted. These are your FRIENDS, your LOVERS, the people that you’ve lived with for so long. How can you take them for granted, how can you take advantage of them? Is it because of something that happened in your past? GET OVER IT. Or maybe you just enjoy doing that type of thing to other people. I’m not one to make assumptions though, maybe you regret it and you’re too scared to do anything else. Maybe it’s a defensive barrier, a mask that covers your true emotions. Maybe you’re incapable of giving a damn about another person because you’re afraid of losing them. If you’re in that situation, I can’t say I can relate, but it’s a situation that people come by very often. I think this mask that we wear all the time may be the cause of a lot of negativity around us. We’re afraid of showing our true selves, so we mask ourselves to make sure other people don’t think weirdly of you, or don’t think of you as a bad person. I think every once in a while though, that we need to take off our mask and just let out our true emotions. 

Why am I writing such a long note? A lot of stuff happened, and I’d prefer not to make it public. I just want to let everyone know that if you love someone, not to take them for granted. You never know when you can lose them. When I say lose them, I mean that they can die any day. When I say lose them, I mean that because of the way you treated them, they could be gone from your sight within moments. Don’t take people for granted, they have a lot more control over your emotions than you think.

Insignificant Problems

DanceCubed

WE’RE PERFORMING ON JUNE 29TH!! I’m nervous, but recently, I watched a Macbeth presentation and one of the actors said himself, “Whenever I think I’m nervous, I just say ‘I’m not nervous, I’m excited!’ and my nervousness slowly dissapates.” It’s an interesting concept and it works! Distractions also help, if I’m distracted before the performance, I’m not focusing so much on how much I remembered or how nervous I am.

I’m getting into the basics of hip hop dancing. I purchased a How To Breakdance DVD and it’s proven to be quite effective. The only problem is that I’m too weak for some of the moves. That means I have to focus on losnig weight and gaining muscle this summer. No more McDonalds for me! It’s all healthy eating and working hard. Learning the basics is really fun to be honest. I believe that working from the bottom to the top proves to be stronger than being a genius at it from the start. Hard work beats genius in my opinion, simply because you have more effort going towards it. That’s why I’m so focused on getting stronger, slimmer and becomine a better dancer.
I’m sick, but I don’t think it’s much. I’ve been coughing more than usual but it hasn’t really affected my performance. To be safe though, I’m going to the doctor’s tomorrow to see if there’s anything I can get prescribed to me. It wakes me up sometimes but I’ve chosen not to think about it in a bad way and just continue to do what I do best: practice!

Well, that’s a small update but I hope it’s an effective one. Hope y’all liked it.

The Basics, The Performance and The Sickness

One word. HORRIBLE. Nah, I’m lying, it was GREAT! The owner and the staff are extremely EXTREMELY nice and the dancers + choreographers are awesome! The only condition is that you speak up and ask questions when you need help with something. That’s the whole point of the lesson. If you don’t get something, ASK! Simple.
Anyway, I can’t wait for day two. We started out with a great song: You Ain’t Know - Lil Wayne. I wasn’t expecting this to be a fast paced dance but surely the choreographer proved me wrong. This dance is fast but it actually goes along with the beat.

Anyway, off to practice!

What is my passion you ask? Well, I always had a thing for rhythm…dancing, music, lyricism, poetry, instrumentals, etc. I’ve always loved that type of thing. And it’s about time I pursue that interest.

Anyway, this blog won’t be about webmastering anymore. It’ll be about my adventures. Random updates, my personal life, my stray away from webmastering, etc.

Personal Issues

After a while, everyone will die. The same applies to my family and my aunt who is lying on her death bed right now. I am not obliged to say much on this topic though, so I shall move on.

Video Blog Success

And here I was trying to sell them for such a small price. Right now, I am averaging at around  $20-$25 a day from these blogs alone. They have become addictive to run so I have decided to run a bigger network of them to make a great amount of money from them.

It’s late, so I will only update this much. I will update with more tomorrow. Peace.

Updates

Niches are an interesting thing. In my lifetime as a person who looked at niches, I have noticed a few. Some of you may remember the notorious PROXY age or the Myspace resource pages, the directory phase, too many to count. Why do these get so popular though? What is it that made people choose to go for niches instead of investing their money into a larger, maybe more beneficial project? Well let’s look at the reasons:

• Easy to access: You could find a free proxy, Myspace or directory script anywhere. Just use a certain Google search like “free proxy script” or “free directory script” and there you’ll have your answer.
• Popularity factor: This one is pretty obvious. Whenever a niche is at large, and you see people selling the websites for fair amounts of money, you want to get in on that too. With the amount of times your eyes saw those proxy sites selling for hundreds, even thousands, you wanted to get in on that. I sure as hell did!
• Ease of creation: Most of these scripts are just: download, unzip, upload, step one done! It’s so easy to do it, why wouldn’t anyone go for it? Even the big dogs could make a little extra on the sides with such ease.
• Capitalization: I was a big fan of this. Once I recognized that these niches might die out soon, I figured out a way to capitalize on the market. I, myself opened up a proxy building shop, where for $20, I would build a proxy site for the person and get traffic/revenue to it. Easy job for me, it was almost automatic. Through that, I made over $2K. That’s nothing compared to some other people though. They totally dominate with add-ons, resources and whatnot, and whether free or paid, they capitalize on it somehow.

Hope that answered some of the basics of why Niches are so popular. In the next episode of NicheESE, I will discuss how to know when a niche is dying and when to stop.

Until Next Time

NicheESE Ep. 1

In other news, I have been lazy to update much these days BUT I am back on track today! No more pain, no more laziness, and more production! I’m going to the doctor tomorrow to get his diagnosis but from what I know, I feel way better compared to the pain I felt before.

I will have a sexy update for you all tomorrow as I’m off to take my medication and going to bed. Goodnight to you all!

Until Next Time

Almost Recovered!

I’m going to try something new. First off, I’m going to sell my video blogs. I will build some more, that’s for sure but at the moment, I want to try experimenting and getting into the big leagues. Like most of us, we feed off of the high traffic sites for our own money. The biggest example of this is Google, but there are other sites like video sites, tutorial sites, etc. I personally think I have been on the down-low for too long. From this day on, I’m going to work towards the big leagues. I have nothing against doing things that relate to the smaller league. In fact, I will most likely still do it, but my big goal is to get to the prowess of sites like Digg, Veoh, and maybe even Google!

I’m going to start with a new project called PhotoshopBlogger. It is going to be a content based blog that provides you with free Photoshop resources and free tutorials. You can consider these sites as being ’step one’ towards my goal of the big leagues.

Now I’m going to have to take my medication and sleep, so thank you for reading my blog update. There shall be more to come tomorrow!

Until Next Time
