Haha!

Man, this advert made me laugh.



That's funny, right? Yeah

And the advert led to this page. Check out the address. Forward slash infidels. I guess I never really thought of myself as an infidel before... But I suppose if you want to use the original meaning of the word then yeah. I'm an infidel. It's sounds cooler than atheist.

Oh, Hi!

I remember Hagakure... yeah, it's a great blog!

I'm shocked that we haven't invented banners so that people can willingly advertise us for no personal gain. Something to think about though.

I found a face sketch site today. I tried to sketch my own face. I enivitably failed.



Now if you see me in the street... Well, I guess you'll still have no idea that it's me. Never mind, eh?

Titan on Frq23 PodCast...

Hello H419, This copy is from Mr. Ben Mack and is in no way to be considered as a real attempt to sell you anything... : )

In just 60 minutes Chris will show you…
"My 'Paint-By-Numbers' System For Taking Simple Ideas, Expanding Them,
Focusing Them And Pocketing An Easy 5 Figures A Month (Or More) In Less
Than 3 Days… Guaranteed!

listen now! http://tinyurl.com/fldke

From: Dianne
Louisville, Ky

On a muggy spring night, this past May, two men - Frank and Rich - met
in the bar at the downtown Atlanta Marriott. Both casually dressed. Both
from out of town, and both drinking the same beer - full flavored, never
light and straight from the bottle.

As if on cue, both men flipped open their wireless and dialed home to
"tuck" their 4 year olds in for the night. It was like these two were
the same guy, sharing the same life.

Neither knew it at the time, but both were in town for the same
seminar,and ironically enough both were in the same business.

Frank and Rich were successful magicians. They began their new careers
around the same time, each even using their dining room tables as
makeshift home offices. And both men did all they could to continue
educating themselves on magic.

After a second beer, these two were laughing like old friends, as they
went on about the trials and troubles of hitting those same milestones
early in their trek.

The day they first profited. The day the money became substantial. The
day they told their boss to "take this job and shove it."

Once the conversation turned to actual dollars and cents, Frank spoke
with enthusiasm of his next milestone hitting 6 figures. Frank projected he
would hit this major landmark, in the first quarter of year 4. He even
raised a glass to Rich, so they could pre-toast that day.

This is the moment that Rich realized things weren't exactly the same
in their lives. You see Rich hit that 6 figure landmark a year ago (in
year 2) and was now shooting for 7 figures. That's right a number with 2
commas and 6 zeroes after it.

Things are not always as they appear. Two men, seemingly doing the same
exact work, yet one profiting much more, and far more quickly than the
other. It makes you wonder how it can be.

What could possibly be the difference in the way the two men ran their
businesses?

The Surprising Truth

Rich knew. He knew because he really was once just like Frank. But then
Rich got the magick edge.

And this is why I'm writing to you today. It's about that edge. The
magic edge that Rich found, and that Frank knew nothing about.

My name is Dianne and I have some amazing information to share with
you.

Information that is critical to your success in magick.

I met Chris through Mark Joyner about a year ago. He's a brilliant man
that will teach you a unique brand of magic that has powerful
implications for boosting your bottom line.

Dollars (Not Pennies) For Your Thoughts

You know, it's easy to get swamped with ideas. It's happened to me too.
Then I found a system that literally forced me to sort out my ideas and
turn them into profitable products.

Yes, the trick is turning ideas into money. You'll now know how when
you listen to our podcast.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Rich and Frank really did become friends that
night. They talk often and even sometimes travel together. You see Rich
is just the kind of guy who wouldn't hesitate to let you in on the secret
to his success. He told Frank about the system that gives you that
creative edge.

Frank was blown away by these simple tactics and strategies that
transform ordinary magicians into extraordinary social engineers.

Truth is I wasn't there at the bar that night. I didn't witness this
meeting of minds. I heard this story straight from Frank, who by the
way hit his 6 figures 1 month later.

He's now on track for 7. The only question is who will get there first?

Frank, Rich or You?

Rich sifted through the world of hype and exaggeration that is internet
marketing, and discovered a master of creativity. His specialty is
getting people to sift through creative ideas and find winners they can use to
dominate their niche. His name is Chris Titan.
Who The Heck Is Chris Titan?

What makes Chris Titan so qualified to supercharge your bottom line?

Good question. The fact is, Chris has been on the cutting edge of
innovation and creativity throughout his career.

He's a brilliant sex strategist, world-class magickian and business
author who has made companies hundreds of millions of dollars with his
strategies.


enjoy,
diane

Sunday Funday

Day of rest. Day of relaxation. Day of religious appreciation, if you're into that kinda thing.

Only, there's one problem with all of that.

I have half an hour 'til I'm meant to meet up a friend who previously skipped town and has now come crawling back (sucker). In this instance it's not simply my poor time management skill that has me feeling like time is draining away between my fingertips, this was a spur of the moment engagement.

But, it's all good. We'll have a nice coffee, she'll share with me her impressions of the urban hellhole that is Sydney, and we'll otherwise talk shit. Then I can continue the homework marathon.

I don't like being one of those folk that just talk about skool all the time, but, this is a really weird semester for me. I'm doing one normal* class, but, in addition to that, I've got a mulah-hungry ex-PR industry....person, who, in return for credit from a previous class, is assigning me random pieces of (crappy) assessment. Last time it was Nike, that's 20% out of the way. This time it's bottled water. I have to pull a creative brief out of my ass for a *new* brand of bottled water. At the risk of sounding like a 3 year old, I don't wanna!!

It's all good though. It will be Drop of Life, and it will be the best damn water you've ever had in your life. (Even if it doesn't actually exist.)


*If having a lecturer with whom you have drunk heaps of beer in times gone past & having a tutor who's younger than you are could be construed as normal.

The Ladder Theory

Everyone should take a moment or two or three to read this. It's, like, hilarious.

Then, everyone should take thirtyfour seconds to watch this magical color changing cup that I used to drink my hot chocolate in yesterday. (No, your eyes do not deceive you!)

Afterwards, and finally, just take a peek at this and think of one little girl that you all know, love and cherish dearly who really needs that item for her upcoming two-day-religiously educational-camping-trip-thing, (that she really does not want to go to, by the way) that she is being forced, or "strongly urged" as her mother puts it, to participate in.

This Is Me Trying To Figure Out What to Post On Hagakure419 Before I Forget That I Am A Member Of This Blog

I have nothing. So this picture is born about an hour after staring at the screen.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Suddenly, a lightbulb appears over my head.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I decide I should pack for an upcoming educational event! I think I have all the necessities.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Now I need to take my child to its father. To mothers car!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It's an emotional moment, but miraculously, I find the strength to let her go.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Home sweet home. Now I have no idea what to do... again. As the frustration of not knowing what to do builds, I decided to hit my head on a wall.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

After a half an hour of this, I check my email.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Did someone say we need a new post? I'm writing a new post! Me, me! I have a new post!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Nada has come to the rescue! Enjoy.

Midnight Myths

Due to difficulty sleeping last nite, I spent some time putting a bit of a different face on one of the Greek myths. You can check it out here. Would've posted it here, but, 'twas a bit too long.

'Nother audio post coming soon, although, be advised that this is contingent on me not falling (more) behind in the whole study-work thing in the near future.

My ongoing quest to cover the complete works of Stephin Merritt (not really) continues. This one's for you, you... and you.

In contravention of the Hagakure Songs Experiment's golden rule, I actually did three takes of this. In order to neutralize the violation, I decided to post them all. Pick your favourite. Heh.

I got my assign finished!!!

Actually, finished is a bit of a strong word to use in this context.

I handed something in anyway.

Wo0t!!!!

I'm amazed by the effectiveness of the line: "You know how you've extended my assessment deadline for this unit by, like, six months? Well, can I have another week?"

As far as I'm aware, it's got a 100% success rate.

Radio Stars

Sometimes I wonder what the benefits are of breaking the law.

For instance, if on a whim I decided that, after never having listen to the band Zebrahead very much, I wanted to listen to their entire album, what would be the benefits of downloading it?

This diagram below shows what it would look like if I had downloaded the album in only 15 minutes.

As you can see, it wouldn't have taken long. All 14 songs would have been downloaded before I knew it and I would have been quite impressed by the efficiency of it all. In this sort of hypothetical situation I'd like to point out that if ever I downloaded an album instead of buying it, I would later go to the shops and buy and an album that I would otherwise have downloaded. It evens things out.

So, the benefits of breaking the law, it's easy and convenient. But is it really worth the price of my soul?

How to write a post in 5 min or less

I can't believe it's Sunday. Where does the time go etc, etc? I've been too busy to even chase male tail. What's with that?

I've got too much to say to be able to say it efficiently in a five minute post.

But, I'll give it a go:

- I respect Bentendo's laudible decision to stay out of jail, as fun as full-time, compulsory institutions are. Personally speaking though, I've decided on an appropriate outlet for my affinity for flameage: fire-twirling. It won't happen overnight, but, it will happen.
- The cats are gorgeous. My fave is the first one. It's got all the moves.
- I've been whimsically eating some strange food combos recently that tasted quite good to me (and, no, I'm not pregnant) the most interesting of which are lettuce & lemon sorbet, and crushed-up Tim Tams & couscous.
- I've decided to give up even thinking about maintaining an individual blog again. Despite having acquired some worthwhile & interesting relationships via that medium, the desire and energy to do so again just isn't there for me right now.
- My song of the day is Gary Jules cover of Mad World. It has more impact in the movie, but, still, an awesome song.
- I've so gone over my five min, so....
- In the interests of getting my assignment done and graduating sometime before I die, I will head off and try to finish my written waffle on the amazing triumph of fraud marketing over truth that is the Nike brand. If anyone is feels a deep and abiding yearning for the inside of a prison cell, feel free to firebomb their head office with my full blessing.

Be back when my assign's complete.

Cats & Their Personal Stereos

Shortly after commenting on a recent post at an ajacent blog, a certain high-calibre H419 affiliate happened to receive an inspiring collection of feline-&-personal-stereo-themed animated gifs.

Struck by the syncronicity, and no doubt mindful of our ongoing commitment to providing the very best in animated gif-derived pleasure to our discerning readership, he rightly forwarded them without delay to our Acquisitions Department.

a decision has been made

i've decided that cos i dont want to go to jail. that i wont set fire to random things anymore. i think its a good idea. the only things that i will set fire to anymore are: fires, cigarettes and random bits of paper.

that means that i will no longer set fire to your hedge. so everyone is safe.

the end

stay tuned for updates on stupdity. i'm planning on taking it to a whole new level. but without fire.... somehow...
