Well unfortunately I’ve got bad news - the website everyone in the world has been waiting for, “The Quest to find the best Eggs Benedict in Kingston”, is going to have to go on hold.

A lot of urgent work came up over the last few weeks which is going to keep me busy, including a few HUGE projects. One of which in particular is very lucrative and the opportunity practically fell on my lap - but it’s something I know NOTHING about so I’m going to have to spend a lot of time and energy focusing on it, and educating myself about that particular topic.

I’ve also been busy building quite a few mini-sites, like Books In Order, the sister site of Order of Books, as the latter has been doing extremely well and I wanted to capitalize on that market.

Anyway just wanted to make a short post on here to bring y’all the bad news. Also I realized I haven’t did a “Movies I’ve watched recently” review post. The last one was in February actually, christ.

Honestly I haven’t really watched many movies recently. I’ve been catching up on The Apprentice the US Version, the best show ever. I’m pretty much caught up so next is the UK version.

Anyway here’s movies I’ve watched since Feb:

Paul: I stopped this around the 50 minute mark exactly 3 fucking weeks ago, and I was unable to finish it since. It was dreadful. I FINALLY watched the rest tonight. The final act actually wasn’t half bad - actually felt like everything had a purpose, while the rest of the movies purpose was “lol watch Seth Rogan as an alien swear”. Probably *

Limitless: Pretty fun movie. Was one of those movies where it could have been way better, but was still solid. About ***1/2

Had tron on in the background today. Godawful. Not even worth rating.

As an internet marketer, I cringe at the WWEs attempts to hit it big on the social networking sites.

They constantly talk about Twitter, and trending on Twitter. The commentators mention it, the performers mention it during promos, and they even pop crap up on the screen about it.

Twitter trending topics is OVER guys. It hasn’t been relevant in a year or so. These days, Twitter has about 90000000 trending topics per day. Seriously, bring up the trending topics page and keep refreshing it. What’s trending isn’t even relevant to events either - it’s just the most random shit.

I mean fuck, here were things that are currently trending:

#3words
#LiesIveToldMyParents
#overthesummer

Devoting so much time, energy and marketing to trending on Twitter for 20 fucking minutes is just RETARDED.

Look - you want to know how to market on the internet? You want to “go viral”? Of course you do - it’s the hot buzz word these days.

Here’s how you do it.

Bring back the Hardcore title, and bring back the 24/7 rule.

It’s that simple. Bring it back, then have it contested 1-2 times a week. In REAL places. In front of REAL people.

Then sit back and watch that shit go viral.

Because everyone has a camera phone. Everyone will be recording it. It’ll be all over Youtube in no time, all over Twitter, shared everywhere, attracting old wrestling fans, current wrestling fans and non wrestling fans.

Do it in restaurants, at Disneyland, in airports - wherever the fuck there are people, DO IT.

Did you see the huge reaction to shit like CM Punk at Comic Con? The videos combined on Youtube have over a million views! Everyone was talking about it! It was because it was unique, it was viewed and uploaded by new people. It was money!

This shit is easy. Do it. Do it now.

Unrelated: Just built Top 10 Casinos and Top Blackberry Apps. That’s one good thing about watching wrestling again - it’s a great background show while I work!

Boy am I glad July is almost done with.

With everything that’s happening in the gambling world at the moment, the LAST thing you really should be doing as an internet marketer is taking time off, yet I was basically forced to take the whole month of July off.

I’m not exactly complaining because it’s been a fun few weeks - but man, the stress of no work and falling really behind is getting to me.

The first week we headed to the cottage for the week. I always load up my Netbook with potential work before going there, then end up never doing a goddamned thing. As soon as we returned my sister came over for two weeks, so we were really busy with her a lot.

So yeah, practically no work done the last 3 weeks, which is really wearing on me. Hopefully get back to the grind soon.

On top of all that, it’s our 9th anniversary today. Well, 9th anniversary of hooking up, 6th anniversary of our wedding. With every crazy thing going on though, we’re not really that bothered with it. Mason had eye surgery yesterday, so our day today basically consisted of him waking up at 4am screaming because his eyes were in pain, battling with him to take eye drops, saying goodbye to my sister who was flying back to Scotland, me fighting a nasty cold and coughing up blood mostly due to the heat, and oh yes: the heat. We’ve basically been huddled in the living room all 4 of us with the air conditioner the last few days.

Hopefully the weather will chill a bit this week, and I’ll be able to buckle down and get some work done.

In other news, I quit drinking. This isn’t a long-term thing or anything - I won’t be attending AA every Monday. It’s just a short-term thing while I get my shit together.

Basically I’ve always had the inability to control my drinking. When I start drinking I won’t stop until someone makes me(ie: time to leave the bar or w/e). I’ll just drink and drink and drink and drink.

That’s bad enough, but the after-effects have worsened. What was once a horrible one-day hangover has now stretched to two days, both mentally and physically. Physically I’m sick for two days, vomiting constantly, unable to hold anything down and just feel completely worn out. Mentally man I dunno - I’ve been getting insanely depressed after drinking.

Last weekend for example I was in Ottawa for my best friends 30th birthday. I got pretty wasted the Friday night and that was it - no drinking Saturday or anything. But even on the Sunday I was to go downtown to see the Buskers with the family, and I had to take a valium just to get up and do that as I was just feeling mentally like absolute shit.

Really is no fun, and not worth the few hours of fun for the 48 hours of sheer utter hell.

I don’t really drink anymore anyway. The only time I drink is on Tuesdays when I go out with my buddy. When we go out we aim to just have “5 pints” - but usually go overboard with 7 or 8 so I’m fucked up. What I may end up trying is starting off by just drinking coca-cola or water or something, and then with an hour or so left have a pint before we leave. That way I’ll still actually be of my senses and want to leave, not being in “omfg must drink beer like water” mode.

Anyway that’s my stories. Gonna go to sleep now.

It’s been fun times here at Scotsmanality HQ.

First of all since May I’ve been “quitting” smoking. I put quitting in quotes because well - I don’t actually plan on quitting, just drastically cutting down. It was getting the point where I was smoking 15-20 a day which was ridiculous and not needed.

Now I’m down to 1-2 a day, and sometimes I forget to even have one. I could probably do a final push and quit - but I’d rather keep it at this pace for awhile. It’s just hard to give up that high you get after going many hours without one.

Work-wise, I’ve been very busy. I just finished setting up an ipad setup for my affiliate program reviews at AffiliateBlble.com - full details here. I also launched the website OrderofBooks.com.

What’s crazy about that site is I wrote an article on AffiliateBible about launching it, and a 10 step process. Next thing I know I’ve got 5k hits just for that article from StumbleUpon. Crazy stuff.

I’m hoping things will be a bit more relaxed in July & August, as June has been a crazy work month. I’m off to the cottage on Saturday for a week, so my plan before then is to just do as much non-content writing work as I can, then when I’m away do as little work as possible.

When I come back - well, I hate this humidity a fucking lot, so I plan on spending that time focusing on writing content while sitting outside in the cool air. If it gets too hot outside or if the weather gets shitty, I’ll spend time inside adding content to the actual websites.

I’ve also been reading a lot. If you haven’t read the Andy McNab series of books - yeah um, get the fuck on that. His Nick Stone series is something else. And buy em here.

Alright this heat is getting too much for me, time for a cold shower!

I spend a large part of my day being entertained by the internet. I probably watch about 10+ “funny” videos a day on Youtube, usually linked in forum posts or websites like Failblog etc.

After about 15 years of being connected to the WWW, my searching is over. I found the all-time funniest video on the whole internet. I can now go to sleep a happy man.

Everything about that just kills me. Just thinking about it as I try to write about it fucking kills me. I want to write about it more but I don’t want you to get spoiled so just watch it and appreciate it for the awesomeness that it is.
