Self-Promoting Loser

January 28, 2010

I’m a fan of criticizing our society and everything I think is wrong with it.
But I’m also a diehard realist, and always consider if what I’m suggesting is possible.

Why Sell Out?

July 9, 2009

It’s so easy to succeed in the online world.
Want to now the trick?
Give it time.
How old are you? If you’re young keep it in mind, because these guys have been at it for a long time.
The problem I see with all the people that follow them religiously, is that they all want to be like [...]
