Accident or collision?

i wonder this often.......is a car crash considered an accident or a collision? If it was an accident, that means it wasn't meant to happen but if it was a collision it could mean many more things. For example, someone who's drink driving knows that they could very well have a crash...so is it really an accident?

Fresh From Florida

Where I come from farming is a big thing but it’s rare that I myself ever think of farming as anything other than the old buddy down the road out ploughing a field. Check out this ‘Fresh From Florida’ video advertising the importance of the $87 billion industry that provides the whole world with food. These guys really do make an impact.

The Time Off...

So half of my exams are over...yes...that quickly. I mentioned them earlier this week and i'm sorry i haven't been able to make an update on how they went. Basically...i'm not too sure...the first psychology module i did i felt like it went great but i ended up failing miserably so i really can't tell right now. Let's not think about it...we'll revisit it in august when it seems important to me then.
I've been moving stuff in since tuesday (in to my new house that is) and hence the huge lack of updates, i'll have some pics of the house pretty soon, it's still a bit of a tip but it won't be long before it's sorted out.
The sun is shining outside...so i'm gonna go for a walk. have a good day!

PPP Direct

PayPerPost just recently put out a new release to their site and with that came a new version of PayPerPost, PayPerPost Direct. With PayPerPost Direct a small button is placed on your blog for advertisers to click to individually hire you to write special posts. You specify the price of the details, if the advertiser likes it then they give you an exclusive opportunity. You then have a couple of options, you can accept this, negotiate it, cancel or flag it. This is a great idea in my opinion, for example, I only have 2 votes out of the 25 posts I’ve taken to make up my overall tack rating which leaves it at 4 out of 5. Now this restricts me from taking particular posts and some advertisers may feel that my style of writing suits the kind of post their looking for but as I don’t qualify for their opportunity I’m unable to take it. This means the advertisers could be losing out in many ways.
PPP direct offers much more than it’s competitors and allows for the advertisers to not lose out like this at all as they can contact me individually and give me an exclusive post. f you are using ReviewMe or any competitors services you will know that they charge between 50-100% markup on your post, whilst PPP charges only 35% on theirs, this allows you to keep more of the money you’ve earned. PPP direct cuts out the middlemen and allows for you to make such huge savings on your posts. Why not get paid to blog and check it out.

The First Exam...

First exam in a matter of hours and what do i do? sit up to play the xbox for a bit and then come on here. Why? because i simply do not care about the exams i'm doing tomorrow...and why's that? because i only need an E in this subject...and i'm pretty confident i can do that. Now you may be wondering 'but don't you want to do even better than that?' my answer is no, not really. I only want to do well enough to get back in to sixth form. I'll give an update of how it went later on or maybe tomorrow...i'll maybe end up doing way better than i expected...or i'll maybe end up failing miserably. who knows.

BAH REVISION!

So i've kind of slacked on the revision...maybe it's my lack of interest in psychology right now. To be honest i'm really not in to it as much as i used to be. I WANT to say that it's my teachers fault...and that probably is partly to blame. The week my first teacher left for maternity leave my grade in the class was an A. When the substitute arrived he immediately dropped me to a D and i feel like from then on in i haven't cared about the subject at all. At first i thought it might be a motivational thing, but now i'm not too sure...i mean, if the teacher wanted me to be motivated he would have given me a C, which is considered the average grade but most people want to be just above average. Having a D says 'you know less than average' and that doesn't motivate me at all...it just makes me feel below everyone else. A Failure, a mess, a wreck, a nobody. I feel like giving up on revision for the subject...i'm quite sure i'll fail.

www.nigelliott.com

Check it out. I'll probably post some small things to it the odd time. I may eventually do something more with that domain but i really like it the way it is now. So check it out, sign up if you want and we'll get a little network going. It's a great new concept which really challeneges the conventional blog.

Tumblr

I recently just discovered Tumblr, it's pretty cool, it's like a new kind of blogging where it focuses less on long posts with a lot of stuff in it and has much smaller things that you can share, for example, you can share just a picture, a quote, a piece of text, a video. It's quite interesting, i might set one up with a new domain or something and post some of the wee interesting things i come across.

Nothin' like PayPerPost

You may have noticed I’ve been in to the whole blog marketing thing for a while now and I specifically favour PayPerPost. I’ve really enjoyed using their service over the last 5 months I’ve been a member, I’ve become a frequent reader of the PayPerPost blog, I’ve participated in the forums quite a bit and most of all I’ve generated quite a bit of income from the site, almost $200 in fact. Initially my plan was to save my money but as I discovered I’m able to make more and more every day with the plethora of opportunities on PayPerPost’s website, I can put a bit aside and use some to buy a few Xbox games every now and then. PayPerPost is a really great site and has been very loyal to me over the 5 months, I can’t wait to see what improvements they have for the service over time and I hope it gets even better.

Silence Fell over my living room...

I watched United 93 today, i hadn't seen it since maybe a year ago when it came out in the cinema. That film has really moved me a lot. It's such a tense film especially knowing that it's based on true events (according to the government...and without mentioning conspiracy theories). I could almost feel my body going in to 'fight or flight'. As the plane went down my heart pounded...and i was again reminded of how fucked up our world is.

WhoGets

whogets.com is a site offering loads of prizes to win in their online contests, the prize values range from $10 to $600 but there's a twist. The twist is that YOU get to decide who walks away with these prizes, whether it be the needy student or the random contestant number 3, you decide who wins. This is an interesting new concept for a website like this...and who can enter? Anyone! You just find the prize you want to have and enter the semi-final pool and if you're selected to be a finalist, tell everyone why you should win and sit back and wait. All of this for free? you betcha' ;-)

Exam time....

So now i'm off school for my study leave...i'm not exactly, off...i have a lot of studying to do if i want to get back to school next year and a lot of work for my exams but i have a feeling the studying is gonna be a no go this year and i'll spend most of my time on the xbox or playing guitar or on my latest project which i won't discuss with the few readers just yet as it's still under production and what not.

I'll hopefully be able to update this thing more now that i'm out of school, HOPEFULLY! ...it's been lacking content lately.

Bid4Prizes

Bid4Prizes is a site where you bid on particular products but there's a twist, the lowest unique bid wins rather than the traditional higher bid. Personally i'd love to win this 20" LCD Monitor to hook up my mac too for some video editing and with the lowest bid winning why not have a crack at it? There really are some great products on the site to win and with a concept like this it’s definitely worth trying out. Where I come from there’s nothing like a good bargain and it looks like there’s plenty on here to be found. Definitely an interesting service.

Spiderman 3...

So i just went to see the movie........and i'm back now.......the cinema is usually a pretty crazy place when a group of us are there, we're like a bunch of 7 year olds out to celebrate our mates 8th birthday after having a can of red bull and pretending we're the coolest lads on the block...let's just say, we're immature. Whilst we mucked about quite a bit (we don't condone throwing sweets) ...the movie was enjoyable but i'm really not sure what to make of it, it seemed like it was gonna be a real action-thriller kind of thing .....and then suddenly peter parker is emo and doing the funky chicken (no joke) ...to be honest i think those parts spoiled the movie a bit, if he had of just been much meaner in a more serious way it would have made the film better. I can see that they were trying to be funny...but it just went down the wrong way with me and seemed a bit cheesy and out of place with the other movies. It was still enjoyable...a little dodgy but be the judge yourself. Go out and watch it ;-)
