  • Blogging, Man

    Let's talk marketing.  Now, I can't come off as an expert here, because there are lots of fields in marketing.  At the same time, this language may be unknown to you.

    Am tempted to read - hefty - books on marketing.  I actually have a book on selling (Selling for Dummies.)  And am a bird in the world, right?  I don't know if being textual is harmful, or it's action all the way.

    When The Apprentice first came out, I basically watched every show.  Why?  Because I wanted to learn how business worked at a very raw level.  And Mr. Trump really criticized someone if he was being too textual.  I remember that statement all throughout the years, because it is tempting to deal with things on a X and O basis, meaning, it's hard to live and die by the textbook.  'Cuz what ended up happening was, a contestant had superior degrees at superior universities, but he didn't last long at the top place.  'Cuz what ended up happening with the finalist, and ultimately the winner, was dealt with the project on a street level.  He did deal with the laptop a bit, probably organizing his MS Project, but when it got to the grind, my goodness, he knew everything of how the set ups and systems were gonna work.  And I really give it to him, because he knew success in his mind, he was smiling whenever he was on camera.

    The final project was for him to run a golf tournament...

    Business is dangerous that's why I try to learn and open about it.  It's dangerous, because so much could be invested by it, especially financially, and it still might bomb.  There's this sushi place here in Milton, and all the credentials are there, but two stores down, there was another sushi place which opened, and it happened to be Buffet, and everyone went there.

    I believe when a business is struggling, marketing has to be engaged in.  The way I see marketing is getting clients' attention.  If eyes can just look (or glance) at the company, and the products, that's already great right there.  But for hard marketing, it's been taught to me that it's ninety percent communication, ten percent brains.  It's hard.

    I think what's happening now is that things are shifting online.  So the web is another study.  I still like my sari-sari out going with the food, and I firmly believe it will always sell, because I've been with women who really likes to go pick up items at stores.  (Sari-sari is like a fast food restaurant - 'cept foods are exotic.)

    With Facebook, the communication is in the comments (with people) and wherever text can be produced.  I think what's also dominant is the picture taking, because it is true, pictures are worth a thousand words, and people get awed with spectacular photos, and Mark Zuckerberg himself placed a Like on products.

    Facebook will remain great if the business of it is well, so far, good business, nothing can really harm them, and I can't under estimate, because they're just codes away from making systems on their site.

    That's really how powerful technology is...

  • Xangons, Am So Not Gone

    Kidding again, you know.

    Wow, the turn of events at SC2, sorry, this is basically my life right now.

    It took me forever with battlecruisers, because with SC1, it took forever to make them.  They made them a little speedy in SC2, so now, talk about mass production.

    As long as they're around, it's basically a win.  I don't really know how to tell my game right now.  I think battle.net is so intense that you gotta be communicating with your teamates, you have to see the dynamics, meaning where your opponents are at.  It's a hard game.

    Am blessed 'cuz there's millions of people who go online, and am always gonna get a nice competition.  Am not gonna go around online, and ask people to play with me, lol.  But wow, these craft games.

    I still deal with Cityville, and one thing I learned on that is, there's "energy".  It's reasonable that for every work, energy is decreased.

    But with SC2, at least I have a life now.  I kept being problematic with the lack of it.

    The fierceness, last game I played, it was really toe to toe, and I understand that opponents are great with their stuff too, but am like to everyone, "Bloody hell!"  That's probably the second time where it was gutsy.

    So bedtime now.  Tomorrow, morrow.  Tomorrow will be fine, am being a child before God that am just gonna trust and depend on Him.  I did that today, and it turned out the greatest.

  • Too Much Blogging and Am Getting Fat!

    Oh yeahhhhhhhhhh. (c) Randy Macho Man Savage.  My mom has kept commenting that I've gotten fat, I usually avoid or neglect these type of comments, but I don't entirely believe in looks.  The reason why I'm putting up my weight problems is that, I just wanna be active.  Fat comments can be disappointing, because I did walk outside for one hour over a very cold weather.

    It's not about losing weight, like soon, am gonna get an aerobics 'game' for PS3, because we have Move, and I happen to like aerobics.  Last week, I was with people who were into PX90, and am gettting into it too.  Thing is, I just need a good workout.  I try to get into boxing sometimes, but am never gonna fight anyone, I love Pacman's body, I saw his last fight, and dude's overall strength was inspirational.

    My struggle with my weight is that, I live a balanced life, I just don't focus with working out-working out, but does it in brains, godliness, and diet.

    But wow, I had a good day, am just disappointed right now, because am walking around the mall, and am like, Wow, Dry.  Am not criticizing the mall, if I had all the money in the world, I would buy so many stuff.

    For your workout, what do you do?  What do you do from gaining a lot of weight, to at least burn calories.  I curse, 'cuz I just wanna be in that running mode, hacking, and perspiring, you know, feel accomplished.

  • Xangon, What's Up?

    Problems.  Yup, "Problems".  Problems to me is a phenomena, because it doesn't matter what stage you are in life, they always exists.  I deal with things like engagements to forget about them, but after the activity is done, I'm back to problems.

    Like right now, I feel free-spirited, because am writing.  But after this writing, am back to problems.

    Experts have said that you don't have to look for problems that they'll just come to you.  And am understanding now that this is a lifetime thing.

    I went picture taking today, and the snow is good where it adds uniqueness in my photography world.  'Cuz for a while now, it's always been green trees and such.  But to have the snow in bulk form, the production came out like I was in North Pole.

    If you wanna see my pictures, visit my Facebook.

    Yup, I deal with Facebook a lot.  I have a lot of plans on the internet, mainly because I graduated from computers, and the way my professor mentioned it, was that, there's no limitations with computer coding.  And over the years, I did see that.  The net came off weak when it started with HTML, but now, it's much more powerful with XHTML, PHP, and JavaScripts.  I've learn to keep myself up to date, I don't know everything in the library, I don't think no one does, but just to get a sense of where technology is headed with this online thing.

    I'm gonna keep dealing with the Internet, because everything is shifting here.  It's a powerful platform, because you can do advertising and promotion.  I think what makes it powerful too are the photos.  There's really an advantage with show a thousand words in jpeg form.

    There's a lot you can do in social networks, I have fields, but am not gonna learn everything.  The best thing I can do is experiment.

    But it's ironic in a way where Twitter was just a side project.  Even with my low-key photos, people have commented how they liked it and such.  It's really business where no one knows what's gonna succeed, and what's gonna bomb.

  • Uh-Huh!

    There's a lot of confusing on my part.  I still deal with music, but this evening, I realized that I should also deal with books.  The ratio of time where I spent on music and books have music at an alarming rate.

    I just wanna write well.  I know everything is style (even music), but to write classic entries, am not really an expert at it.

    It's all memory for me, but still, I wanna write good.

    Even right now, I can't extract anything that this writing will be left empty.

    I don't know what else in life to touch upon.

    In my sense, my activities are the ones which are gonna dominate my text.

    Am basically watching the Miami Heat lose to the Indiana Pacers, and it's no guarantee that the big three for Miami Heat will win championships.

    I have a point there, and it's like am gonna stop writing.

    It's really different with music, because I engrossed on it too much.  From hip hop to country, I dealt with it.

  • How the Weekend Went

    I have written about it on Facebook, some aspects over what happened to my weekend.

    My weekend basically started Thursday night.  Thursday was also busy that I would like to google map it to show my out goings, because it was one wild day.

    Thursday night, I was able to learn some exercises for P90x, because I was in an apartment with people who have been on it for two weeks.  I learned lifting own body weight, so the squats are all there - push ups.

    If I can recall my stays over this course of time, I was at malls a lot, why?  Because I like to move around walking.  I was at Square One, Yorkdale Mall, Erin Mills Town Centre, Bramalea Town Centre, and Milton Mall.  To an untrained mind, this could be all boring, but I've grown to understanding shopping and clothes.  It's amazing how succinct clothes are when the right person walks into the room.

    With my fashion sense, I still believe in one toned color, like if a woman has to go all red, that's fine, that's classic "Lady in Red".  If a person decides all black, I mean, no criticisms from me.  But I believe we live in an age where from shoes to haircut is gonna matter.  Am entitled with my opinion, lol.  I deal with magazine ads, and before I would always criticize them for being commercial all that, everyone does it.  But the great jacket...  I mean, I'll show a picture of what I mean.  (Men.)  I'll show women also.

  • Marc Anthony It Is

    So it's youtube galore.  Why?  Because I love it, son!  Just kidding.  :)  I deal with Marc Anthony a lot on youtube, mainly because I've grown to love latin music over the years.  I loved him with You Sang To Me when it came out, and then a few years later, I would find out that his untitled album was great, so I bought the album, and no disappointments there.

    What ended up happening is that I have his discography of piratebay.org, and I have so much respect from him that I basically know his hits - even the Spanish ones.

    I love his singing and voice.  I think latin is spectacular that it's inspirational to sing with.  I can never get at his pitch, but I did find one Magic Mic with the right pitch with "Am I The Only One."

    The emotion he puts into the song is uncanny.  This morning I was crying with one certain song, because I do have a love life, and latin is formulated that it's gonna get the language of your love out.  One thing I noticed is that, I can't stop listening to his materials, it's in a way where the relevance is always there, I suggest you listen to "Love is All", and you might understand.

    Even this song am on right now, it's not a classic album, but frigg, his voice along with the Spanish guitar, yummy.

    So blessed with these songs, and I discovered them just membering myself to music forums.

    Well, Xangons, I've been with Facebook Notes for the past few months now.  Am sorry.  I went there, because I thought the market was greater.

    I think Xanga should change its system where it has to be like Facebook, basically.  Connectivity should be easy, because to market here in Xanga, you have to leave comments on other people's sites, and it's repetitive and tedious.

    I dunno.

    I have to study marketing, because I don't know how marketable I am, :)  I wanted my materials to be in discussion, but what's really there to discuss.  I think for your part, this is gonna come off as an entertainment.  I mean, am not gonna write emotional entries having yourself teary eyed.  It can be frustrating though, because a lot of effort is put into this, and I don't know if...  I dunno, I understand my thoughts versus a lot of thinking out there.  I understand my thoughts are coming from an individual.  Am not seeking for fame or love for this, but I understand that I have to be aggressive with my marketing.

    I think patience on being on the web is critical, because this is gonna take time and hard work.

    But am praying, because I understand writing is essential, and having it read to the public has to be in a way where it's stepping stone.  Just marketing, :)

    With my Facebook, I tried to be creative putting pictures, I mean great pictures, on the bottom to add value to the entry, and I don't know if it worked.  But pictures help, because they are worth a thousand words.  And for my craft, I really tried putting more words into this thousand-words mentality.  Am really putting out language there, even with my caption, I tried to be humorous, anything to at least get the person's attention.

    So am back to xanga, why?  Because not a lot of writers in Facebook.  I tried encouraging others to get into it, because I would love to examine and gather thoughts, I mean, this country is basically up based on ideas.  America became mega based on ideas.  And to keeps extracting ideas would help in function, companies die for it, peers examine it.

  • Xangon, I'm So Not Gone, Uh-Huh, Blog On

    The ensument of the day.  I can't remember what I did last night.  I played Starcraft and was not favoured to win, but during play, my team was winning.  It was a fun game, dude thought he could air attack me, then to his surprised, I had turrets built already, and he had to retreat, I loved it.  My server went funny though, so I didn't get to finish the game.  But it was a win game for me, because I was already starting a new base just right beside me.  I was only troubled, because my base was the most exposed to enemy lines.  But it's really okay, I understand too, because I've been playing for almost ten years.  The whole time that I've been playing Starcraft 2, I've been using Terran, even in SC1, I was Terran, so you can imagine the skills built over it.

    I'd like to switch to Zergs or something, but I just love Terran, I love the volcanic effect on firing on opponents.

  • The Explanation of Massive Visits

    Am not sure if I've already mentioned this.  But there's always that one entry that keeps getting visited by an Isreali - as my Footprints showed.  Am writing about this, because it did get me wondering:  If you're gonna visit my site, why is it always on the same link?  This visit is not only rare, but that one particular had over two hundred visits.

    So my analysis on it?  Am not being concrete about it, but it's like this, the visitor is from Israel, and the entry talks about God blessing me.

    The Bible did say, through Paul's writing, that the Gentiles are gonna be blessed that Jews are gonna be jealous so some will be saved.

    I chuckled, no offense on the Bible, because that entry did talk about my family vacation to Florida, it also helped that I was writing it in the hotel.

    That's really how the world works where we don't know what's gonna happen in our lives.  Financially, I wasn't expecting to get a lot of money from the government, I've always thought that I was gonna work really hard for income, but thus far, it's been clean cheques every month.

    A lot can be said with spiritual things, but am one of those people who digress, 'cuz it could be boring to a few people.  I think the excitement comes when the matter is down to earth.  But personally, I get a kick out of talks with how Abraham's life went.

    But I think stories dominate our taste in our lives, I think amazing stories are hungered.  I even brought it up to my Bible study group at church over what limits discussion to information to gossip.  I really said that if the story is amazing and true, I think there's nothing wrong with it.  Gossip becomes dangerous when stories become fabricated.  Fabrication is tough, because even in psychology with everything exposed, wrong things can still be said.  And wrong perceptions dictate wrong decisions on personal lives.

    But amazing stories have to be said, because it's good for marketing, and the world is bored.  I don't think people hear killing all the time, which is common in our world, that we've been warring for ages now.  I think unique, definitely unique and interesting stories make the world go round.
