Today i got hosting for my new website through www.brinkster.com I chose to go the Professional Package.

• 1 Free Domain Name
• 1000 MB Web Space
• 30 GB Web Traffic
• 400 Email Accts
• ASP/ASP.NET/PHP

My brother Luke got me onto them, he's getting hosting through them too. No more Geoshities hosting for me.. and whats more is that my favicon.ico now works!!!! sweet. the favicon.ico being the little icon which appears at the start of some website url's. Now that I have Asp/Php support I think im going to have to learn some and use it in my site.

Im supposed to be preparing for an oral a project presentation right now but I really can not be bothered. Im feeling so tired and blah that I really don't want to. Oh well I guess Ive only got 3 more days of Tafe (study) left .. for ever!! so I better put in the 1 hour of preparation. I need to learn how to think ahead and do what's best for me in the long run. Yeah who cares.. im gonna go drink a cofee, goodnight!!

Do the maths


Had Tafe today and got stacks of work done which was nice. There are so many hot "hair and beauty" course chicks at my Tafe, its great.. would love to be enrolled in one of those courses... just imagine the guy to girl ratio... I should be making the most of the fact there are so many hot girls at my Tafe campus but I'm not, Im an idiot... I need to grow some balls and just walk up to them and talk to them. If say I was in a situation where I was in a class with one of them it would be fine, I could talk to them about class. Im ok when I get talking to a girl but it's just the first initial "approach" I don't know how to go about. And that's why I don't have a girlfriend... I try not to think about that much as It only depresses me but meh....

I'm thinking about getting a loan soon and buying a new car!! My car's too old and is starting to blow smoke :( which can't be a good thing. Im thinking of getting a Toyota Camry like a 95 or something... i like the look of em and they'd be pretty economic, I want to get an all white one.. but the model that does not have the black strip on the sides. One of my mates said it was a chicks car and I could'nt mod it much but i don't care too much bout that at the moment, when Im 25 I will get a sick sports car and do it up.. until then It's gonna be a Camry I'm thinking. Or even a Holden VP?? I don't really like Holden's much but a friend of mine just got one for $4000 and its pretty sweet.. It's just a car, I should'nt really care about what it looks like..Ahhhhhhhhh!!! I dunno!!!

Actors who can't act - a list


Because I'm bored an have nothing better to do with my time I've decided to make this list. This list is inspired by Harrison Ford's *ahem* performance in the piece of shit film "Air Force One" which was just on TV.

Here's a list of actors who need to be stabbed in the eye with a rusty fork:

- Steven Seagal
- Michael Madson
- Whoopie Goldberg
- Nicholas Cage
- Harrison Ford
- David Carridine
- Sandra Bullock
- Ted Danson
- Richard Gere
- Tori Spelling
- Shannon Dougherty
- Rachel Grifiths
- Quentin Tarrantino
- Patrick Swayze
- Ben Affleck
- Kevin Costner
- Michael Keaton
- Steve Abott (Sandman)
- Lucy Lui
- Chuch Norris
- Jennifer Aniston
- Meg Ryan
- Jennifer Love Hewitt
- Freddy Prince Jnr

These are all of the "actors" I can currently think of, theres probably stacks of others that should be up here. Most of these actors made it into this list due to the fact that they can only act in one state. Their performances are wooden and unconvincing. Boredom accentuates my negative side. Sorry. Next time im bored i will post something positive and upbeat.


It is now appropriate to laugh


Ahhhh Friday night... 7:49PM... sitting on my nice leather chair writing this with the TV on in the background. "Everybody Loves Raymond" is on at the moment, man I can't stand that show. It would be alright if it wasn't for all the canned laughter going on every two seconds. It's so dumb. Most of the time whatever's happening isn't even funny but there it is.. the canned laughter from an audience which isn't even there. Canned laughter is so dumb, its for dumb people who don't know what is funny. You know the people....the people who laugh when they think that they are SUPPOSED to laugh. These people don't listen to what is being said because they are too busy anticipating how they will react. On the topic of canned laughter here is a funny article I found about just this very topic http://webclipart.about.com/od/mixedclipart/l/aa122501.htm.

Got a demo of Need For Speed Underground 2 from work tonight and was playing it before. It is soooo sweet.. so good. The graphics are insane, the music's great and It makes me want to buy a brand new top of the line "gaming" machine so I can play it at it's full capacities. In short, get it!!

Probably going to have a relatively quiet weekend this weekend
(insert *canned laughter* here, informing you that you should now laugh you mindless retard)
as I'm going to try and finish some Tafe work.. 2 more weeks left and its all over .. Woo Hoo!! However I find that the weekends where I do very little and stay home mostly I get really bummed and burnt out and get all depressed. Which in turn makes me lazy and unmotivated to do anything about it. It really is a vicious cycle that often ends up biting me in the arse. So I will have to go out and do something/anything so this doesn't happen. Cya Later

bah...


I downloaded acquired "Anchorman" off of Limewire last night and just finished watching it. It was pretty damn funny, Will Ferrell is hilarious in it. I am thinking of acquiring "Team America: World Police" because I really really want to see it but then I am also thinking of just waiting until December the 2nd when it comes out at the cinema's over here. I mean if I download it the quality of the movie will be bad, the picture will be dull and blurry and the sound will be hollow. It would be at least 10X better to watch it for the FIRST time in a cinema..

Had a yiros and a coke today with my Mum and sister and Mum was telling me i should not drink coke as it is bad for my health/teeth/stomach/what have you and so Im going to try to cut down on the junk food and sodas as It only leaves me feeling sick and not being able to think clearly.

How to make a wad of cash!!!


All you have to do is follow these relatively simple instructions and you can make yourself some serious cash!!!

First of all you have to be quick if you want to make any money from this but here is how I am supposing you can increase your bank. The idea..... a club remix of the classic Van Halen song "Jump". Club remixes of classic hit songs are where its at these days and are an easy way to pretty much guarantee instant success and major play in clubs and radio stations everywhere.

The good thing about a club remix of a "classic" hit song is you have a pretty big audience, the younger kids will love it if you do it right with a "now" sound and the older people will also love it as it reminds them of simpler times when they were younger and carefree.

If you listen to the song, it now sounds kool again and matches the current trend of electro/80's/synth which has crept back into popular mainstream dance, pop, hip hop, alternative music and fashion. You could pretty much just re-release the song and it would do pretty well but that is not the way of the dance remix. Here's how you do it so its banging in the club and gets you your stack of cash.

1) The the heart of this new remix and the key to its success is the very start of the song. The synth driven part is what will make it popular.

2) You leave out all the original words except for the main chorus part of "Jump, you might as well jump" "Jump, go ahead and Jump". But really emphasise the words "Jump" and maybe loop them continuously for a bit in the fashion of "California Dreamin'" remix by the Royal Gigolos or "Sunny" by the Boogie Pimps.

3) You give it a solid bass line and a "new" sounding beat. Maybe throw in a "Benni Benassi - Satisfaction" sounding loop in the parts between the synth of Van Halen's "Jump" bit.

4) You market it right. It's all about the image. You make a film clip that is different but similar, you make the clip funny, risque', and "now".... It's all about making the viewer FEEL something. You get it out there to all good radio stations and the right clubs which are always looking for the next big song to play.

5) NOW all you have to do is sit back and watch your bank grow beyond your wildest dreams and expectations.

New Leather chair


Did some filming last night with Tim, Karl and Natasha. Halloween!!!!! It was so much fun, we got some good footage. Karl and Natasha went trick or treating before hand and had their costumes on when I arrived.... they got some shapes, tim tams and lollies from the people they door knocked.

Today I slept in and it was real enjoyable, On awakening I turned my upper torso to the right and cracked my back which brought a wave of relaxation over me. I really like waking up and cracking my back it feels so damned pleasant.

I GOT A NICE NEW LEATHER CHAIR from Officeworks today!!!!! :) Woo hoo.. I will post a picture up here. Im really excited about it too, its so comfortable and I figured that since I am having to do so much work on my computer for Tafe and all that that I might as well sit in luxury.

my new leather chair

Zunic, Marco, Sappola and John came round a bit before and I showed them the footage from last night. They liked it and we decided we should go film some more stuff on Friday night.
