July 25 Tuesdaywent to counseling today
The lady there told me I was in perfect mental health!
never heard that before =]
(been waiting to say that all day)
laterz July 22 FridayI worked this morning... it went really well suprisingly enough. I'm starting to get a hang of my class and they are starting to get used to me. After I finished with the class I took off down to a coffee shop on the coast to meet my new business partner, Carey. He's a really top bloke and I'm really looking forward to working with him. I kinda put him on the spot and wrote up an agenda for the meeting... This actually worked really well and I think I might try to keep doing it for the most part.
Basicly dad is going to be our figurehead, the man on all our video's and products. Carey is going to be doing our corporate liason doing the big thousand dollar deals. Me? I'm gonna be the project manager and systems co-ordinator. The other guys we can mix and match - all except 1 person.
Probably a girl or a charismatic bloke. We need someone - either thai or a westerner we havn't decided. Someone who is going to be really intergral in the business. Someone who can answer emails and do basic accounts, help me out in dealing with the kids and write up meeting agenda's. Send out memo's...
you know all the fun stuff.
Need to starting thinking of people.
Then on the last night my brother is free and in australia... What do i do? I call up my cousin and we play games and watch movies...
Oh well - see you next life time big brother =]
peace

SaturdayWent to a graduation lunch today - some people were graduating from the tesol course and i thought i would go catch up with my old mates (moms business partners) I usually don't think about it but I rekon being able to call kim and ingrid mates is pretty cool.
Anyway after that I went to Dicey Rileys for a beer with some old work mates of mine... used to work at a software company with them. They were late and i was sitting at this table by myself with my beer, and there was some random bloke sitting at the table next to mine who looked nice enough so I walked over and sat down... told him to buy me a beer =]
Shot the shit for half an hour and then my mates arrived and we chatted for another few hours - got home in time to eat and sing happy birthday to my cousin and then called my sweet, beautiful, bored girlfriend... kinda felt bad cause I ran outa credit on my international calling card and then i was outa credit on my mobile too... after all that I took off to wolfmother (phew!)
Hopefully my sweetheart will be online or something tommorow so we can chat for hours! :)
After all that it's time for bed
cya later I'll tell you all a story about a joker and a thief in the nightWolfmother... WOW
That concert just went NUTS. I can't feel my body! I just got poked, prodded, elbowed, punched, kicked, slapped, groped, wacked, splashed, yelled at, headbutted, bitten and drunk.
IT WAS AWESOME. lol
It's really cool to see a good band who actualy has a decent amount of support ya know? There were about 20 thousand kids there and about half of those in the mosh pit. I'm currently soaked from head to toe... i think it's sweat... i don't think most of it is mine... I hope its not anything more suspect  July 16 BIFFSaw this while looking around the webs.

http://www.biff.com.au/ Tell me if you see anything in there you like while your over and we can go catch it. July 12 you still love me baby?patient: isi July 11 My Marketing spiel for the Thailand thingBILL GATES IS DOING IT Why arn't you? Well here's your chance. We here at the MSI Foundation believe in giving back to a world that has given us so much. We are looking for generous, like minded individuals like you to do the same. We believe in helping those people less fortunate than ourselves. There is an old addage that goes 'Give a man a fish - He will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime' That's why when we were approached by an orphanage in Thailand to take ten energetic young people and train them to successfully make money on the internet, like we have been doing for 8 years, we jumped at the opportunity. In September 2006 we will be moving our headquarters from Brisbane Australia to Thailand to start this unique endevour. To help ease this transition we are taking on an extremely limited number of smart, business minded entrapraneaurs from all around the world who are willing to comit $2100 USD for this worthy cause. Quentin Brown, the CEO of the MSI Foundation and world famous creator of MP3 Sound Stream www.mp3soundstream.com is backing this project 100% and is commited to personally train, along with many other talented online marketers, the team of inexperianced young Thai orphans. He believes with the right training and the right direction anyone can make money online. What he doesn't believe in is throwing money at unaccoundable charities to do with as they please. That's why he's prepared to offer, for a limited time to the entrapraneuars who invest in this opportunity, full resale rights to his inventory of products. Including the world famous MP3 Soundstream, his invaluable couching products with step by step instructions on setting up your business and much much more. (See www.msifoundation.com for more details) We think that you should see exactly what your money will be going towards. So not only will you get a whole existing inventory of products to sell online right now but when these ten passionate young people have been fully trained by the best in the business and are pumping out all kinds of differant products, the exclusive few who invest their $2100 USD now on the ground level will have amazing opportunities to use these young professionals newly aquired expertise. You will also get resale rights to some of our best products. Not only that but every month you will recieve a DVD containing video footage of training sessions and staff meetings so you too can learn all the tips and tricks of setting up your own online business. WOW To get involved simply send an email to quentin@mp3soundstream.com or visit www.msifoundation.com and fill out the form down the bottom. old idea'sOk i'm gonna put up some old correspondence i got lying around for the next few days - most of this stuff was going through my head when i was 13 or 14 but it's interesting to look at. 1. ordinary men discus events good men discus people great men discus ideas how great are you? July 09 ThailandOk so I'm going over to Thailand in a few weeks with my dad and his business partner Carey. We are going over to talk to our lawyer and get a feel for the place and the people. Also to see how well the three of us gel as a team. From how I see it dad will be the big name with all the experiance. Carey will be our marketing guru with experiance in that field and I'm there as someone to trust and rely on to get the work done day in and day out. To do my job properly I'm gonna need to get up to speed on working online and making products using video, audio, camtasia screen captures and strait article writing. I'm gonna need to practice setting up professional looking websites in less than a few days and I'm going to need to be able to teach ten other young thai boys how to do the same thing. Interesting. Here's the premise. We get 10 Thai orphans with no previous experiance online other than checking email and surfing websites. We give them state of the art equiptment and a encouraging working enviroment. We provide them with the very best in training from world renouned internet guru's face to face or through teleconfrencing. They are encouraged to try their own idea's and produce as many products as possible. These 10 inexperianced Thai orphans will hopefully become sucessful leaders in their respecive fields who will in turn train others in the mystical way's of internet marketing. its a beautiful self perpetuating product. now i just gotta learn how to sell it July 08 MoooSo here I am blogging.
In the words of the late great Bill Hicks
'I'm not proud of it (I was hungry)'
But indisputably I am here and I guess I am blogging. Eerie. So I'm in Australia, back in this house that doesn't feel so much like home any more. Eight months in China and a month traveling half way around the world on trains planes and bus's seem to have altered my perspective a little. Go figure.
I like to think of myself as someone who looks at things from as many differant angles as I possibly can. To do that I have to keep a fairly open mind.
Even then some things you just never even consider. Like it's a little hard for me to take into account the feelings or the the headspace of a old evil latino woman without a little bit of investigation.
Being in China showed me a huge span of differant people and personalities that I had never encounted back here in Brisbane.
Now I just gotta figure out how to make some money from all that experiance.
I'll talk about that later - I'm still getting used to the idea but it'll probably make me feel better to write it all down.
hmmm |
