Don’t Diss Criminal Minds
Mason had a gymnastics show tonight(video coming later) and at it, I met a guy I used to work with. We decided to duck out early and go have a pint and watch the end of the Penguins vs Capitals game at a pub. So we’re there, and I’m wearing a pair of jeans, and my Criminal Minds t-shirt:
So we’re minding our own business standing up at the bar, when the guy besides me turns to chat. He’s been making “witty” comments all during the game, hoping I’d join him in conversation, but I ignored him the whole time. So finally he turns around and stares me straight in the face while saying something, so I have to respond.
Then he looks down at my t-shirt. And he says, and I quote: “A T-shirt for a TV show? Ha ha now I’ve seen everything. Especially for Criminal Minds – that show blows.”
Yeah. No.
I’m not a very argumentative guy. Really, I’m not. I’ve gotten to a stage in my life where I really don’t care about arguing or debating anymore when it comes to opinions – you’re never going to get someone to change their mind, so really, what is the point? Look at my posts on NPP and you’ll see I rarely if ever debate shit anymore. I’ll only get into an actual argument if there is fact involved, and I know I’m on the right side.
So I had to interject myself here. I got a fact for you BITCH: Criminal Minds is awesome, and anyone that thinks otherwise is just plain wrong.
Actually I didn’t. I was close to, but then it was like meh, what is the point? It’s like if I dig a hole and discover oil, am I gonna go tell some random bar about it? Fuck it I’ll keep it for myself, and that’s the way I feel about Criminal Minds. Seriously – if you guys aren’t watching it, go rent season 1 right now and try it out. You will absolutely fucking love it and be hooked forever. There’s a reason it’s in the top 10 each week for the ratings: because it’s just that fucking good.
The characters are so incredible, the storylines great, and everything in it just clicks. Please – watch it. That goes for you Taff and Homer.
Anyway I came home and watched a bunch of Criminal Minds videos on Youtube to make me feel better. I’ll share my favourite one with you guys – the music for this is just brilliant, and so chilling compared to what goes on during the actual video.
Spoiler note: One of the males leaves the show. If you don’t want to be spoilered, don’t watch.
Busy as a bee, oh how I ache for you Fallout 3
Remember my update last week on my blog? Where I said that I’d come home from Edmonton this Tuesday, just in time to engross myself in the new Fallout 3 DLC, and finally go through my 2nd playthrough as a bad guy, something I have been fucking dreaming about as soon as I finished my 1st playthrough?
Yeah. Hasn’t happened yet. Not because I didn’t feel like it – I’ve seriously turned on the XBox 360 at least 10 times, so tempted to start it, then turn it off right away because I just have so much fucking work to do. I even bought the Broken Steel DLC on Tuesday – yet haven’t even played it yet.
When I got back on Tuesday I spent all day catching up with my e-mails, as I had got behind, as well as do a few website upgrades. I was jetlagged as fuck, yet I stayed up all day pretty much and just worked worked worked. I was up till about 3am.
Wednesday was more of the same. I decided not to go to bed until I had cleared my priority to do list, which had got cluttered with about 35 items. So I was up at 8am, and worked until 4am with barely any breaks at all. Yep, nice fucking 20 hour session, yet I enjoyed every minute of it. What can I say – I just fucking love working. THat’s something you really need for this business – a passion for it above all else.
I also spent some time buying some new domain names, and doing renewals. That was fun – dropping about $600 at Godaddy in one shot. Fuck.
I grabbed four hours sleep, and woke up today(Thursday) at 8am, raring to go. With my priority to do list done, I decided to work on 3 of my websites that really needed some work done. Rakeback Resource took me all morning, as I worked on a lot of promos, coding and stuff, and spoke with my coder about future work needed.
I then bought PHPBayPro, which is an ebay plugin for WordPress. Basically it adds ebay auctions to articles in WordPress, based on the content that is there. Check this DVD Deals page or this NBA Tips page to see what I mean as I spent all day implementing it on there.
So I did a bunch of work on the DVD Deals site, then I worked on NBATips.net. Long story short – the Search Engine Optimization(SEO) there SUCKED. I made major fuckups that I didn’t realize until a month in – like title tags and shit like that were ALL the same. See – when I create a site, I like to spend a month after it’s created just adding content, not worrying about anything else. Well BIG OOPS when I saw this was messed up.
Yet….I couldn’t change it. As we were #1 in google for huge NBA related phrases, getting 2000-3000 unique visitors a day. If I changed it even the slightest I ran the risk of losing those rankings, and believe me – I’ve been in that situation before.
However I’ve built up an NBA Tips mailing list of over 20,000 members, so I’ve got that to fall back on, so I spent a few hours today working on the SEO of NBATips.net, as well as a few design changes etc.
I also managed to pick up the domain DealerDan.com for just $100. Mother fucking SCORE. I woulda paid four figures for that 😉
I’ve been keeping myself sane by watching Spin City episodes. On Season 2 just now – such a fun little show, and easy to watch while doing other stuff.
I was going to write about my schedule over the next week, but I’ve made some toast and rice krispies, and am off to watch this weeks How I Met Your Mother. Pip pip!

Wow. Just……Wow.
I’d say that subject heading pretty much sums up the last week, which I spent in Edmonton. Even as a teenager, I don’t think I came close to getting as shit drunk as I did in this last week. I just got home and am exhausted and going for a nap then I will write some day to day recaps – but just as an example – 4 of us went to the International Beer Fest, which had 150 different beers for sample.
We did all 150.
In under 2 hours.
