I started this blog because I was told I had to... I must admit even the forums I'm signed up with I lurk more than put myself out there... Confident, but not open to ridicule...
However, I'm getting into this business and enjoy the small things like which posts are more popular, how many people in how many countries check my blog out, etc...
So after posting a couple today I though lets have a look... to my surprise in Feb I had people in 17 different countries landing on my page - to some that's nothing and I appreciate that, but I get a bit of a buzz I must admit.
So I went deeper and checked out which blogs were the most popular - no surprises, you dirty buggers, hot guys vs. hot girls was number one!
Then I went a bit deeper and I think this really shows you how as a global village we've really grown to develop our search engine techniques, all these keywords were used to find my blog;
"hot guys don't" - don't what?
girls period sms - what? I mean really, what?
he likes hot girls - that's not as bad as the last...
hot girls on sms - still fairly tame... although like you I'm still recovering from the second one
hot girls australia - hmm, probably find something suitable if you left your bedroom
hot sms thoughts - you're on the internet? surely you can find something good enough there?
Now we get into the insecure faction of my readers...
how to intercept sms from girlfriends phone - told you
nokia "intercept sms" - apparently the Nokia's are big snitches with this kind of stuff
spy on my girlfriend's sms and calls - this guy should buy a new girlfriend I think
stealth call back sms - hmm, possibly a spy who's been speaking with his spy mates about black box operations? I wonder if he knows Jason Bourne?
Can I say whether you intentionally landed on this blog or not (and going by the keywords used to find me, I'll take that as a not) I would like to thank you for looking around anyway, even those buggers that spend less than 2 seconds.
Have a great weekend.
Speak soon.
Cheers,
C
P.S. if you need to speak to someone about the second one (I know I'm still a bit shocked and I knew it was coming) let me know I'll find their IP address and will bill them for your costs! :)

FIFA 08
This is really going to show my maturity - but it's my destressor which happens to be a lot of fun at the same time.
Recently I bought FIFA 08 for my PS2 - no I don't have the lasted PS3, but no doubt at some stage I will acquire one. Anyway, it has Clive Tisley and Andy Grey as commentators, and generally their comments fit the scenario and well, make sense.
There are some though that I thought I would share - please note these are loose quotations, but you'll get the idea.
At the start of a cup match Andy Grey at one stage makes the comments "well Clive, I don't know about you, but I think this side will either win it or lose today" - one word, insightful... I wonder when he was at the recording studio and that came out of his mouth what he was thinking at the time -no a bad line mate, not bad at all...?
The other comment I thought I would share with you (although there are a few I'll this short);
Again another cup match between the Gunners and some minnow team Clive says "well on paper this match has already been won", in which Andy replies "I don't know about you, but I've never seen a match won on paper" - what about paper football Clive?
I lied, I just had another one pop into my head - it was a FA match between Chelsea and Arsenal, and Clive says "no other competition in the world could put these two clubs together..." umm... OK then... hmm... What can you say? I love it.
Honestly, I'm not taking the micky out of the developers/programmers/designers, etc... in fact if I have to admit I love it - when they say the right things it gets boring, when it's something that makes them look a bit dumb it's great and I find it quite amusing.

Advertising and kiddies
Can I say, in general I really like advertising and branding and all of that. I like the way James bond wears an Omega watch and that makes me want to have one as well, and how car ads make me want to buy them as well.
On the weekend I saw my brother and his kids, went out for lunch, then back to my parents for coffee and to raid the fridge (lunch wasn't that great), and the kids sat at the kitchen table and draw pictures.
Now my nephew is 10 - when I was 10 I was riding the streets pretending I was in the BMX Bandits and made up a fictional gang called the "crew of 87".
Outside of that I had no clue about clothing brands, bands (outside of AC/DC of course), or any of the generally accepted products marketed at 10 year olds today, which is what surprised me when I looked over and he was drawing fashion label symbols.
I mean it wasn't until I was 11/12 years old when we discovered Adidas 3 strips - and if you tracksuit pants had 2 or 4 strips you were going to get teased for being poor - ironic because the area we grew up in we were all poor - at least I knew my parents :)
It seems today that advertisers are managing to market to younger and younger kids, and I wonder to myself what kinds of additional pressures are we adding, to kids as well as their families - I mean we all can't be good at shop lifting. But as well as how that impacts on their development as children into adulthood?
I mean socially I found that competition really heated up at the age of 18 when we were allowed to hit pubs and clubs cruising for girls - that's not true, we stood in the corner and wished the footy players from Carlton would bugger off!
So what will life be like for them when competition really heats up in 8 or 9 years time?
One to ponder I think.
Cheers,
