The result of no SEO?
Feb 18th
Hey Hey Kids!
(Insert Krusty the Clown laugh)
So a few days ago Horold Sy brought up an interesting point when he commented on the Bloated Penguin mentioning SEO. SEO means Search Engine Optimization, which basically translates into how well search engines like Google and Yahoo will find you. Simply put, whenever you search for something on the Interweb, these engines give you results of what they “think” your looking for.
This particular blog has 0 (zero) SEO attached to it. I haven’t gone into the back end and adjusted any keywords or descriptions – hell, I don’t even give images alt tags. More >

"It's all about Strengthening the Brand"
Good morning to everyone on this sunny Feb morning (and if its not sunny from where you are just imagine our beloved star creeping over the horizon).
*Whoa, that was such a radio DJ intro, I might as well just give everyone the traffic and weather report before I start playing Katy Perry… again.
I digress, back to the topic at hand. Developing a brand voice is one of my many tasks in this carnival of a career I call writing. But this isn’t something I actually went to school for – I never took any high-priced More >
This doesn’t sound good….

My new Neighbors
So I was getting ready for bed last night when someone slipped a sheet of paper underneath my door. Sleepy, dazed and a bit “out-of-it,” I picked up the sheet and read that there are governmental plans to build a JAIL about 5 blocks from my house.
So what was turning out to be a pretty dismal year in terms of property value for my apartment… Has just gotten a lot worse.
Here’s a direct quote from what was slipped under my door:
“In 2012 the provincial government has plans to build a 700 person penitentiary on the corner of Willingdon More >
My Relationship with Diana

Lets go Lo-Mo
Good morning and post Vanlentine’s Day to everyone.
I took yesterday off from all computer contact and communication in an effort to not end up single by today and so far its working. Anyways, I was recently given a Diana Lomo camera as a gift. I’ve never actually been a photographer per-se (A complete shout out to Harold for catching the typo from earlier – Thanks for the SEO bud!), but I’ve always enjoyed the art of pointing and shooting and seeing what comes of it. Sure digital photography gives us that instant gratification, but there’s something to be More >

So not River
Anyone catch Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman the other night? If you haven’t I’m sure this is only about 1089790454 blog post about the interview since it happened; so thanks for reading this one!
Anyways, Joaquin Phoenix recently told everyone in his life that he is retiring from acting and becoming an R&B singer (or rap star, I still can’t figure it out). I guess after a butt-load of terrible movies (We Own the Night, That BAD Shyamalan movie about aliens just to name a few) Phoenix finally saw what most people have known for years… ahem – You Suck At Acting.
Thank goodness More >
Who is Amitabh Bachchan and why is he so awesome?

Amitabh Bachchan
Hey what’s going on?
So what’s with my fascination with Amitabh Bachchan? I recently watched Slumdog Millionaire and became absolutely enthralled with the first story. When Jamal is asked about a Bollywood film star he tells a tale of when he was young and how he met Amitabh Bachchan after diving feet first into a pile of shit.
So after seeing how much of a star Amitabh Bachchan was out in India I decided to ask around. Turns out Amitabh Bachchan was bigger than roti out in India through the 70′s and 80′s. A brown friend of mine confirms this by More >
Amazon Keeps Offering Me Porn!
Feb 11th
Here’s my situation. I was looking up a director’s cut of Midnight Meat Train – not because it looks like classic cinema or anything, but its one of my favorite horror stories that I remember reading in Uni. From there I was offered to look at a musical called Repo! The Genetic Opera which actually looks really interesting. When I was on the Repo page I saw a link to My Name is Bruce – which I still haven’t seen so I clicked. On the My Name is Bruce page there’s a film in the suggestion area called I Was More >
Tony Almeida’s Twitter
Feb 10th
For the last couple of months I’ve been following Tony Almeida’s Twitter account and I have to admit, he’s pretty damn awesome. I’ve gotten THIS close to dropping him a response only to be stopped by my conscience screaming to me that this isn’t real. But is it?
Check out some of his Twitter Posts:

And this one too:

Sadly I have to admit, Almeida’s Twitter posts are more entertaining than the show….
