This is a Test...

Testing, testing, one, two... three...

Hi everyone, it's been a long while since I really paid much attention to this blog.

According to the stats provided by the Blogger people though, it would seem that a lot of people filter through my various entries on a monthly basis!

Which has me rather curious... are they REALLY people? Or are they bots? Or are they vastly intelligent porcupines? 

If you're a real person and you are reading this, please leave a comment below, say hello or tell me to get lost or whatever, just let me know if a) you're an actual real person and b) should I get back into blogging? c) are you a porcupine?

Cheers

Calamari and Me

Tonight I am rather exasperated and my heart is decaying for lack of company. I’ve been on my own for nine days while my wife and wonderful child are in Ozzie lappng up the sunshine and all the other glorious gems in that great big red treasure chest. Here I am in cold but beautiful New Zealand, alone in am empty house that is so quiet I can hear my fingers banging away on the keyboard like they were angry chickens who had just walked into a KFC and seen what was on the menu… Because I am in this despondent mood I would like to talk about something that brings me much happiness. Something other than my wife and wonderful child because although they make me happy, their absence and the steady reminder of it makes me sad and leads me to iniquitous thoughts of eating more of those “hundreds and thousands cookies” I found in the pantry or the box of Cadbury chocolates that doesn’t belong to me…. Nope, I must harmonize my thoughts to brighter and nobler affections - such as Calamari.

Pimp My Hundred Bucks - Part Twenty Three

Imagine for a moment that I’m a chubby dude running up a very long and frighteningly steep hill and I’m trying to explain my week to you between long drawn out death defying puffs of air. I’m  deep breath  still  wheeze  trying  sudden burst of hyperventilation  to  gasp  reach  groan  the top  flatulence  of  huff  this  puff  HILL!!!! Chances are I’m about to fall over so you’d best get out of my way because death by human donut could occur any moment now. That’s how I feel about this marathon to reach $500. Not only am I a snail trying to run a race with birds but I’m a fat snail recovering from an Easter binge. Seriously I did some working out today with a mate who is sixth dahn  in Karate. He was kind to me but within only ten minutes I was choking and spluttering on the grass and that was just from the stretching. He worked me hard until I sort of flopped on the ground like a melted ice cream! Again that’s what turning my $100 into $500 has become, a workout that I can’

How to Turn $20 into $100 in Ten Easy Steps (Or at least how I managed to do it)

Before we get started, as a disclaimer this is not intended to be financial advice but rather encouragement.  Below I have jotted down the simple formula which I have used to do just what the title claims - turn $20 into $100. The steps are easy to follow and the process only requires a bit of time and patience, an eBay account (or any online trading site you prefer) and the product of your choice. The process works. Anyone can do it. So here's how it's done... Step One: Find an item of interest that you know something about and that you can easily reproduce or purchase at a low cost, preferably less than $10. Step Two: Use $10 to purchase or manufacture the item. Step Three: List the item on eBay or any online trading site of your choice. Use the remaining $10 to cover listing and success fees. Obviously, list the item for more than it cost you to purchase or make. On that note, make sure the price you sell the item for is enough to: 1. Cover what you pa
