Peace & Quiet
posted 09 July 2005 18:42 by martin
Well it's Saturday afternoon on a weekend when the girls aren't here and I'm not pissed - that's different enough on it's own to merit mention. I've had a really nice realxing day today - not done a great deal beyond some domestic chores, and the weather has been great so I've been soaking up some sun and reading a book. Alan has gone back to his parents house for a few days and I'm enjoying the space and the peace.

Had a really nice surprise yesterday - DavidB phoned me from the states. It was the first time we have talked 'live'and it was great to hear from him - it made my day!

Off to see some friends for an hour or two tonight, then I'm in work very early to set a job running that takes 12 hours, and back at 6pm to implement some major new hardware on the main system I look after - looking forward to it!

you've seen the vendors at the mall, fake l. vuitton & burberry purses...
you've seen the fake j.lo / manolo boots, the fake "juicy" terrycloth outfits?
chances are we all have bought some designer knock-offs - and why not - same style for less money? what's not to love? well...what's not to love is if you look like you came straight from the swap-meat / flea-market. you don't have to wear all of your latest "cheap" finds all together at once because IT WILL SHOW - that these are the cheap imitations! if you pay attention you will see even jessica simpson will wear some raggedy-looking jeans with some hot sandals or a poncho - which she made fashionable again. you better believe those old jeans are still gaultier or prada so why not use what you already have - mix it up a bit, quality with knock-off...
quality doesn't have to be cheap....check for the closest marshall's or some of your favorite designer's outlets in the area and you'll be surprised what you might find. favorties of mine right now: charlotte russe / arden b. & bebe
so - you absolutely have to look ghetto-fabulous, wear all those knock-offs at once - try to look like j.lo or beyonce - you won't! instead, why not create your own style, have fun!

Dulles
"You cannot carry it? Send it!" The blunt scissors, objects and other nail-clippers being prohibited on all the flights, EDF Ex proposes to you of the poster since the airport. Was necessary to think of it. "You cannot carry it? Send it!"

The sun lies down, the Greek, the Indian and me are all bored a little on Road 66 South, any line, endless in length. It is necessary more than two hours to cover the distance which separates us from Washington, even by exceeding the limit of 60/70 miles of the hour. One stops taking gasoline, the toilets are as niquelles as those of a hotel 4 stars, at least a trick which I will miss when I return to Home. The station is a faggot of rednecks, who fondle their pieces of dried ox drinking their watery coffee. One buys a Coke, I spend my last dollars.
"who crawls, who runs, which scrapes, which been able and which irritates!Cockroach! Beuaaaark! And in more that draws!"
On the way home, the airport within the periphery of Washington, with the Indian and the Greek, my K7 preferred of pop Indian in loop in the radio car, much more festive than the country which is diffused with length of day by the local radios. It rained all the day, the interior of the car is soaked, the sliding roof flees in spite of the Scotch tape. It is violet, with a sliding roof and of the fenètres which open more, and the trimmings of the ceiling . It is always more comfortable which white the Volvo old woman of the American who feels bad in spite of his ceaseless raids of febreeze on the seats. This is also better that the car of my year with Cville, red Ford which one had baptized Bruce because it resembled Bruce Willis... at the end of Die Hards. It was full with blows of fists, proudly raised a small French flag to the back, and its meter worked once or twice. Always practical on the motorway.We take a break in a 3 star hotel and watch porn movies

How it contributes to our success or failure.Frankly, I'm feeling pretty annoyed today.I just got an email from someone who sent me an angry email demanding to know why they hadn't made any money from Affiliate Marketing yet. They had sign-up in an Affiliate Program several weeks ago.I replied by asking what they had done to promote the Affiliate Program.I bet you can guess what they had done.Nothing. Nada. Zip. Hadn't lifted a finger. Hadn't run an ad. Hadn't done a bless-ed thing. And he wasn't going to "waste money and time" on eBooks and courses.And he was mad at me?Hey, guess what. Affiliate Marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. And anybody with any sense at all knows that. If you don't market, you have no right to expect money to come out the other end. Nowhere on my Website did I promise to make him rich without effort. Because I can't. It would be a lie.I'm going to let you in on a secret. There are no magic web sites or business oppor-tunities that, for a low one-time or monthly fee, will start automatically pumping tons of money into your bank account.Oh sure, we've all seen lots of sites that promise that. But really, how could that possibly be true? If an owner of a web site ever developed a fool-proof system, why would they share it with you or me? They'd be stupid to do that.There ain't no such thing as a fr/ee lunch, on the web or anywhere else.An Affiliate Marketing Home Business is just what it implies.It may be on the internet,but to be successful you must put fourth the same time and effort as if it was any off-line businessHey,just you know - Affiliate Marketing is the ideal Home Business.It's low-cost and low-mainteance,but the less capital you put in it,the more time you will need to spend to make Affiliate Marketing your successful Home Business opportunityYour success is your responsibility. Not mine and not anyone else's. And I thank God that I live in a country that allows that statement to be true. It's what made Amer ica a great country. And that attitude is what makes all successful people tick.Another thing that bothered me about this guy was his unwillingness to invest time and money in learning his business.Now I'm not saying learning all this is easy. Sitting in front of the TV is easy - this requires some thought, effort and dare I say, work.But - I will readily admit that it is a lot easier to learn and perform in this business than most others.I've always said that investing in your own brain is the most valuable way possible to spend your money. (And it's a pretty sad thing if you don't think so.)So, to that random guy out there, and anyone else wondering why they aren't making money, take a good look in the mirror. Are you promoting the product or waiting for cash to fall from the sky?We are all responsible for our own success. And I thank God, our country and the soldiers who have fought for our freedom that this is so.And by the way,the best Affiliate Programs are "FREE" to join
