Life is excellent! Yes, I know it is Monday, but you are alive and that is what counts. I am grateful for my life. I have listened to the Secret and my favorite speaker is Tony Robbins, so you know what type of guy I am. I appreciate you reading my blog, and if I could give you a million dollars I would. lol. The best I can do for you is write a post.

I have read alot of blogs and have become more interested in making some money online. Everyone seems to be saying they are making money except me. I did put some Amazon affiliate things on and tried using that Google adsense. I have made no money, but based on all I have read I am inspired to try it differently. I don’t like all the advertisements personally plastered everywhere like John Chow’s site. He is probably one of the most famous money making bloggers out there making over $10,000 a month. Of course everyone wants that and more. I read Billy Warhol’s first post So you wanna Make Money Online! He has some good pointers that I will try to follow. I downloaded John Chows E-book 2 months ago but will read it again, since I have a better understanding about generating traffic, page rankings, technorati, SEO, and all that other bloggerese. Hopefully, it will make more sense to me now. I really want to just keep this blog as a journal of my random noid musings. My plans for now are actually to create another blog site for that purpose. If you have any ideas for a beginner like me, please comment below and share. Of course, I will continue to read your blogs and learn from them as well. To be honest with you, I don’t know how some of you manage 5, 10, or more blogs.

On the celebrity gossip news, I guess Britney Spears comeback was not well received. She sure has a lot of pressure on her to maintain her popularity and produce money. She still has a good fan base and I hope she is successful. Now the other crazy thing that happened was the battle of the Pamela Anderson ex’s Kid Rock vs Tommy Lee. I tried to watch it on youtube but it only had the after math. It’s hard to say who would win in that one. That is like a celebrity boxing match waiting to be made.

I watched 2 movies over the weekend. One was a foreign flick called Russian Dolls and the other was a comedy called Blades of Glory with Will Farrell and Jon Heder of Napolean Dynamite fame. Russian Dolls was not bad; just not good. It was long and I didn’t really care for the main character who was looking for love, but was guided by his manhood. lol. He was actually a jerk and just not likable. The comedy had some funny parts, but it is one of those movies where they show all the funny parts in the commercials. By the time you see the movie, there isn’t much funny left in it that you haven’t seen. I do think Will Ferrell is naturally funny, so I can’t resist but watch his movies. Blades of Glory was a good popcorn type of movie and I would recommend seeing it once if you like Ferrell. A movie that was really quirky that I saw him in was Stranger than Fiction (I put the trailer up above this post). The story set up was excellent. His character was likable. I thought the movie was very well directed and had a good ending.

The market ended mix today. No real direction and I think investors are just trying to see how the news will turn out this week. Any future housing information will probably be negative, but that may be factored into the market already. I think another event investors are waiting for is to see if the US will start a troop withdrawal. That really seems doubtful. I think we need to get out. It seems like Bush doesn’t care if he is wrong or no matter what most US citizens think. I don’t believe his motivation is to get terrorists. This war is based on lies and my guess has to something to do with him and his friends making money. Blood money. Check out this documentary Iraq for sale: the war profiteers. This has nothing to do with being a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. If you haven’t seen it, you will gain a new perspective on this war and why we are in it. I posted this before, but its worth repeating.
