"Shameless Self-Promotion Isn’t Shameful"By Michael Aaron GallagherShameless self promotion isn’t shameful, it’s called advertising. Many people are afraid to promote themselves to friends, family, and acquaintances because they feel there is a stigma associated with it. You don’t want to be seen as arrogant or braggadocios.You do want attention for your work though, don’t you? I mean, a

Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder has landed a cameo role in the latest series of Channel 4 series Shameless, says a report in the Sun. Ryder is allegedly a huge fan of the TV show and thinks it is really funny says an insider, ‘His scenes in it are particularly hilarious, He has a very dry sense of [...]

If you didn't already know, in addition to these here ramblings, I also write for a local Austin website called Austin Sound, which we hype as being the "independent music source for Austin." Recently, we put a good deal of effort into redesigning the entire site to make it more, as they say, "user friendly." That means you should go check it out, read a little bit about what's going down with Au

Lollipop-sucking Jorge "Travieso" Arce won over Thailand's David Lookmahanak in the main event of Top Rank's "Latin Fury" championship boxing card held in Aguascalientes, Mexico.I watched that main attraction on television via Solar Sports and even though I'm not technically well-versed in boxing, the way I saw it, Lookmahanak clearly won the fight.True, Arce dropped the Thai in the 7th round with

OK, so this is the farthest thing from the tone of my usual posts, but it's my blog and I can do what I want. However, I guarantee that when I self-publish this blog in book form (using blurb) for Jack to read someday, I'll leave this post out. So, anyone here have a paypal account? There's a new "paypal-esque" site called "Revolution Money Exchange." It's the same idea as paypal . . . and

Class was going on. John and his two friends sat on a desk. John's attention was not in the class. He seemed to be restless, waiting for the class to finish. He glanced over the class, particularly looked at Nancy. But she was busy taking notes. He remembered the last night incidence, and felt bad about it. What she would have thought about him?... In front of his friends and Merry he should not

Yep, it's true. I am shameless and damn proud of it! I really could care less if it offends anyone, either, because let's face it, life is too short to go around sporting an offending-ass stick all the time and I'd rather enjoy every moment of it rather than bitching and moaning about how everything and everyone offends me.I'm sure it helps that I'm not all that easy to offend. Between you and me, I prefer to be the offender and not the offendee, if ya know what I mean. *wink wink*Anyhoo... today I am shamelessly promoting myself, something I NEVER do, well at least not very often, and because I know you ARE so very, very, very nice deep down, much like myself, (oh, don't worry, I won't tell anyone if you won't!), I would like to guilt nicely coerce you into doing the following things for

I hate blatant advertising, which considering the ads everywhere sounds kind of hypicritical, but I do have to mention this ad.I have a fossil watch I bought at dillards about 5 years ago, a fossil blue. Best watch I have ever owned EVER. I am notoriously hard on watches and they usually last about a year at best. I bought this back when we lived in Dallas on a whim, they were on sale for like 49 dollars or something. It is durable and lasted though day in day out abuse at work, at home, in the garage and doing yardwork... you name it. The battery has been replaced once last year, but thats it. The glass on the front is even nearly unscratched which is surprising for as many times as I bang my wrist into a table, wall, etc around the plant.Here is my watch...Anyway, if you ever need a watc

  I hope everyone will forgive me if I drop slightly out of character for a moment and offer a bit of shameless promotion for an old friend. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending Brent Cash's stateside album release party and snagging a freshly minted copy of How Will I Know If I'm Awake. I'm just getting around to mentioning it because, friend or no friend, I wanted to give  the disc a few spins (and, yeah, I'm talking about vinyl on a turntable) before I recommended it. So now, with a clear conscience, I can honestly say... holy crap, is this good! I know, given the fact that this blog caters to the rubber monster suit crowd, that a lushly orchestrated Burt Bacharach style pop album might not appeal to everyone's taste. But if you are at all a fan of pop music and

Okay. You caught my attention too. Congrats Winnilicious aka Winnie. But before I go into that let me first do a short recaps of the week. Okay. Let's see...

Tuesday’s episode was the last in the current series of Shameless. The Channel4 show is very popular, and rightly so. It is very well written and great to watch a program which still retains some relative uniqueness (even with Skins) unlike many other shows on British television. I managed to watch all 17 episodes in the latest [...]

As many of you know I have been a fervent supporter of Lars Carlberg and his portfolio under the moniker Mosel Wine Merchant. From Clemens Busch's brilliantly naturally-made, wild yeast fermented Rieslings to Beate Knebel's beautiful and fleshy yet nervously mineral Rieslings from Winningen to Stefan Steinmetz's stunningly pure Rieslings from Brauneberg and other small plots within the Middle Mosel to Stein's aristocratic and filligreed Riesling's there is not a dud that in that portfolio. Yes that is a long sentence but I am excited about these wines and even more excited that all of these producers will be at Chambers Street Wines pouring this Thursday April 17th from 4-7 pm at 160 Chambers Street. Also in attendance will be Gernot Kollman who consults and makes the wines at Knebel. He i

Although Obama may say he stated it wrong, I will come out and say that people to cling to religion out of frustration.When things don't go people's way, they think an imaginary being will snap their fingers and will solve their relatively minor problems while ignoring all the real pain and suffering that occurs around the world on any given day. I wouldn't call it frustration like Obama. It's just plain old-fashioned narcissism.And the reason they cling to guns? Fear of darker-skinned people. Let's be honest for a change, please.Will someone explain to me how rich Hillary Clinton gets to accuse someone else of elitism? She is such a phony.

I discovered the Web site, Best of Blogs the other day. They are running this contest for, well, the best blogs. You can nominate yourself or have someone else nominate you. I can think of a dozen bloggers who are funnier than me or have more subscribers. But as a shrink I once had said, "If you don't love you, nobody will." So like a big doofus, I nominated myself. So go to the site and nominate yourself, or vote for me. Voting begins April 14.Another interesting thing I found on the Web this morning: Speedo has made a new swimsuit that has led to 12 new world records since February. The suit is $550. (You can get two regular suits for less at the Men's Wearhouse _ I guarantee it). It _ the Speedo suit, is made of extremely lightweight, water repellent fabric -- electronically bonded rath

As you are all no doubt aware, I am quite a keen photographer. Since starting my blog in June 2007, I have gained even more enjoyment in taking photos as I have been able to capture moments in my life and share them with other people. I have also gained so much enjoyment in viewing others' photographs too. Seeing how they view the world around them, seeing how they interpretate themes and topics.Over the past few weeks I have been surfing the net to find ways in which to get some of my favourite photographs published, rather than just having them fester away on my hard-drive.I have found two great sites, the first was RedBubble.com which you can find a link on the top of my right hand sidebar. The second is DeviantArt.com.Both sites are wonderful as all you have to do is upload your photog

Heidi from eRamblings has tagged me for a meme, which is excellent, because my brain is benumbed by the sinus medication I had to use to to counteract the effects of a less-than-delightful chemical bath that someone decided to douse themselves with in an effort to smell like an embalmer's wet dream. I did not know that one had to smell like three thousand dying flowers to pick up a card at the post office.Oh, yeah, and then I thoughtlessly threw some whiskey on top the sinus meds. Oops.The meme's rules:1. Go through your archives and link to five of your favourite posts that you have written.  · Link one must be a post about family.  · Link two must be a post about friends.  · Link three must be a post about yourself.  ·

Thought I'd let you in on a little secret... I've got a side gig. I am authoring a monthly column on the Incentive Magazine website. I think they will be spinning off the Incentive section of Manage Smarter as a separate online entity in April and your's truly is going to be authoring a monthly column. Hopefully, it will be beneficial (or at least comment-worthy) to the incentive world. A preview column is up now...

Back in my not too distant past I was once told by a distinguished lady told that I had a good voice for radio. Now you can be the judge of that as I was kindly asked by Eamonn of Football In The Capital to make a guest appearance for his Christmas special on his Nearpost Radio Show. The show is going to air on Christmas Day at 6:30pm on 2XX 98.3fm. For all those outside the Canberra area, the show will be available shortly after the show as a podcast at Football In the Capital.

Ok kids, in case anybody is still around after yesterday's distasteful rant, I thought I should tell you that tomorrow is the last day to purchase my book, Antisocial Commentary, at the low low price of $9.95 with free shipping. So really you should order it right now, because if you wait until tomorrow you'll forget. You know how you are.Thanks to everybody who has bought the book so far, especially Mark Jabo, who seems to be planning a Very Antisocial Christmas. I mailed the latest batch out on Monday, so if you haven't gotten it yet, you should be very soon. If you don't, please send me an email at diesel - at - mattresspolice.com.Oh, and for those of you who tried to buy the book only to have PayPal threaten to charge you $3.00 for shipping -- sorry about that. I've fixed the form now, and I've refunded the people who overpaid. And for those of you who are morally opposed to PayPal for whatever reason, send me an email and I'll give you my address so you can send a che

A few years back Neil and I were able to attend the CD release party of our good friend Noel Wentworth. Not only were we friends, but fans as well. His first CD, Motion, was a favourite in our household, and his second, Change did not disappoint. It was full of energetic, passionate music that alternately had us dancing and swaying. He is an artist in the true sense of the word and we're awed by his talent.So we were a little annoyed that we had to wait to hear him sing. A fellow named Ryan Donn was opening for him, and it was with some amount of annoyance that we anticipated having to listen to his performance before Noel's.I laugh over that now.Ryan Donn, a Scottish born Canadian singer/songwriter, took the stage. And he simply blew us away. It's hard to put an experience like that into words. It wasn't just great music and superior performance (though it was that), it was entertainment in the truest sense of the word. The man is funny. Neil and I laughed so hard at cer

I have talked several times about my daughter taking a class on the US Constitution. Actually, we both took it but I did not turn in a term paper. I just really didn't want to take a scholarship away from a child who could use it more. So, anyway, this class was about 6 weeks long and for 2 hours every Tuesday night all we did was study the Constitution. All the articles, amendments, etc. We went more in depth than MY high school teachers went and I was involved in student government programs throughout my state. I was part of the Kentucky Youth Assembly and the Kentucky Youth United Nations Assembly for three years followed with arguing a case in the Kentucky Youth Supreme Court my senior year. You would have thought we'd studied the constitution really well but we didn't. So, anyway, guess what?!!? SHE WON A PRIZE FOR HER PAPER!!!! We had the announcement conference tonight and you want to know what she won???? An all expense paid trip to a week long student freedom semin

Humans are interesting creatures, not unlike animals in their desire to shun pain, to do what they can to avoid the sting of a wound, be it physical or emotional. About the time I stopped posting to my blog I had stepped into the axis of my pain, and I have to admit, it surprised me.Just weeks earlier I had been talking with my friend Mary, explaining that I had already mourned the end of my marriage three years ago. All that was left to grieve was the impact it was having on my children (can we say denial?). I was efficiently moving through my divorce, checking through these emotional steps like items on a To-Do list. That’s when the unbearable pain hit me, stealing my breath. Suddenly my heart resembled a split melon, wide and messy with emotion. I thought I was going to die, thought I wanted to die, and gravitated towards my ex, the only one who truly understood how much our divorce hurt.Not until this moment have I recognized two types of pain. One steals upon you slowly and befo

Rita and I had a nice road trip yesterday afternoon. The trees were a gorgeous palate of rusts, greens and golds; the air crisp.

In the interest of full-disclosure, Rick is my second semi-cousin 4 times removed, or something like that. His mother, my aunt... nothing that would hold up in court. We spent five years in the early 80s working in a branch of the Kentucky Jaycees sometimes called the "northern Kentucky mafia" with Steve Miller, Jeff & Ruth Eger, Gary Moore, Jim Parsons...

This video has instigated quite a huge number of comments ranging from supporters of the 3 louts to pitying the old man. Some have even voiced their concerns and wanted to help the old man. When DK first posted these ugly foreigners laughing at the “slowest taxi in South East Asia”, Miss Loi corrected the title to “Three Slowest Brains from Europe”. The original video has been removed and a certain Mr B0Davis was pinpointed as one of the brains in the video. I wonder how true it is but then again, online CSI-ers have usually managed to point out the culprit. After reading the comments, I found myself getting angry at those arse holes. However, before posting anything online, one has to calm down because anything that gets online, stays online. My comments on the whole issue. The old man was doing his job and didn’t complain about the load. It’s his job and most people at his age often don’t complain despite being challenged. The load laughed

I love rich people! Not just because they’re better than you or I (which they are, in every way), but because they’re also a constant source of amusement. For instance, would you like to purchase a blank piece of paper for $5000? No? What if I told you that it was a painting of a polar bear in a snowstorm? Deal! While you’re viewing your new acquisition, can I interest you in some raw eggs, scraped from a fish’s cunt? No? Well, what if I put those eggs in a tin, gave them a fancy, ooh-la-la French name and charged fifty bucks? Merci! You might be a little parched with a stomach-full of eggs scraped from a trout’s vagina. Can I interest you in a glass of expired grape run-off, crushed between the fat, hairy toes of a scruffy European peasant? No, monsieur? How about if I tip it into a bottle, slap on a label with a date and waffle on about how 1992 was an awesome year for grapes? Oui oui! That’s right. Rich people will buy anything (and I mean anything), as long as it has

If you like middle of the road, backwater towns, you’d love Er Rachidia. Now I’m not complaining, on the contrary, I did like Er Rachidia. It had all the infrastructure that makes for a decent stopover. It was low key in a rather pleasant and undemanding kind of way, the town was billiard table flat and on a scale small enough to navigate on foot without breaking into the slightest of sweats (all to easy to do in the Moroccan lowlands), there were internet cafes, banks, enough budget guesthouses to engender some healthy competition, eateries and salons de the a plenty, and, best of all, it had a bar. This place really was an oasis in the desert. As I said, I was quite struck on Er Rachidia, and that was even before we met its inhabitants. (more…) Related Posts

As part of my continuing (I just started doing this today) effort to show my loyal readers (all four of you) exciting, cool things online (i.e. things that will benefit me in some way), I want to quickly write about the Blogger’s Choice Awards (and why you should go vote for me). What are the Blogger’s Choice Awards, you ask (as if the name didn’t give it away)? I’m glad you asked. It is a site where anyone (this means YOU) can nominate and vote for your favorite blogs in numerous categories. You can even nominate and vote for your own blog (no comment). You have to register at their site, but it’s quick and free and once you do it you’ll be able to nominate and vote for as many blogs as you like (Note: do not vote for any blog that is competing against me in a category). So why participate (as if the honor of voting for me isn’t enough)? Well, for one, it’s fun. You’ll come into contact with all sorts of new and interesting blogs.

A friend suggested that I might increase page views to BNY by posting scantily-clad photos of myself in my blog; however, in the grand tradition of cropping my eyeballs and blurring my face, I wanted to continue to keep reader's guessing.So is Katie ... ?A)B)C)D)Visit becoming-a-new-yorker.blogspot.com every day for your chance to learn the answer when she finally reveals the winning photo in a future blog post.

Honest. I don’t brag about myself, do I? I was tagged for this meme by Shinade.  Really, I was. Although she displays a tag-free zone button on her site, someone tagged her. Now, I don’t promise that all my responses will be 100% truthful, but hey… that’s part of the fun for you, you get to try figure out which ones are! Four jobs I have had: 1. Tutor  2. Sanitary Engineer 3. Head Sandwich Maker 4. Party Planner Four films I have watched over and over: 1. Titanic (No matter how I try, I just can’t get that spitting thing down…) 2. Groundhog Day (Oh, the irony…) 3. Pirates of the Caribbean (I must have a thing for ghosts with bad manners ’cause it ain’t Orlando Bloom.) 4. Pretty Woman (It was a form of punishment. I’ve reformed so as not to have to watch it again.) Four Places I have lived: (I prefer to list four places I would find interesting to live instead of places I have lived. And by that, yes,  you can assu

As most of you know, I am a writer. I write poetry, columns, articles, short stories and novels all while using my creative powers in the world of advertising as a full time copywriter. I’ve had a good year as far as publishing goes … and now I am famous. Well … famous in Buffalo, NY that is - as far as The Hamburg Sun News is concerned. As my publications become available, I’ll post them in this blog. Stay tuned for the publication of Best Lesbian Love Stories: Summer Flings, published by Alyson Books due out in October. I have a story entitled, The Sight of Her, which will be included in the anthology. Hey I’ll admit it … I’m not afraid of a shameless plug! the hamburg sun news, buffalo ny, best lesbian love stories: summer flings, alyson books

Slate says, "In her early review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the New York Times' Michiko Kakutani explains that the paper scored its copy at a bookstore on Wednesday.Her 1,100-word review posted that evening. Wait, how can you read a 784-page book and write a considered take on it all in one afternoon? In a 2004 column ... Slate's Jack Shafer looked into the instant-review phenomenon after several critics pumped out their responses to Bill Clinton's My Life a mere 24 hours after getting their copies. The secret: Skip and skim. One writer told him, "Did I read the whole thing? No." Another writer said he had read the whole book, but with this caveat: "Closely enough to take a short quiz? No.""~With that in mind, I present my review ofRick Robinson's first novel: The Maximum Contribution“In The Maximum Contribution, Rick Robinson has vividly captured the essence of the deals that make…or more than likely... break so many DC politicians. The 224 pages of The Maximum C

I found this great idea to generate back links to your site at the blog of Courtney Tuttle. It is very much like the ViraLink from Andy Coates, except you are able to add anchor text into your link. Jimmy Huen from FoundersCafe came up with this idea.If you join today you will likely get a nice payoff. I’m betting that this ‘tag matrix’ will fill all the way up.==========Copy and Paste below this line==========Instructions:1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “ViralTags” below courtesy of Founders Cafe.2.) Substitute the Host Tag and one of the “Viral Tags” in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog’s URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their “Viral Tags”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Tags” below.4.) Encou

The postman came this morning - no it wasn't Postman Pat - and dropped some things through the letterbox. In the pile of things he popped through were my stickers from Bala Graphics. They look rather splendid when positioned on Roger in appealing ways. I've just got to decide upon a final position for them before peeling back the paper and adhering them to the shiny red plastic. They're a good advertisement for the blog during my gap year and a bit of shameless self promotion never hurt anyone.Good lines, stay safe and see you on the wet stuff...Iain

Famous last words I know, but I'm liking this Big Brother series. Last year's freaks 'n' totty show was ugly; like the drunk in the corner of the room no one wants to talk to for fear of being bored to death. This year, it's zesty and with more girls than boys, it's feisty. Above all though, it's actually FUNNY! Chanelle is the biggest Joker in the pack for me: that accent! It's all "I knuuur" this and "Duuurn't" that. In this clip she's worried about the hygiene in the Big Brother house and the fact they might all get genital herpes from the toilet paper. Bless.And I just love this clip of the argument over hair straightners. Chanelle is so right. Her hair IS a bubble that's hard to keep straight. Emily, playing the alpha male with everyone preening her, takes all that time to do her hair and it still looks like shagged-all-day-in-bed hair afterwards. Love Lesley's wry disdain from a distance...And Shabnam! Completely. Barking. With the whites of her eyes clearly visible,

The number of widgets on this blog is getting positively obscene; I may have to do some clean-up in the near future. If you find this blog takes an hour to load every time you look at it, let me know.Anyway, you've probably noticed the shameless "Please do my advertising for me" box on the sidebar, right underneath our trademark Rocket Mitre. New in the Shameless Box is a little form whereby you can receive notifications via e-mail whenever I update the blog. For the sake of saving space, I've eliminated the "Subscribe to the Sci Fi Catholic by Email" button, but you can still subscribe to the FeedBurner feed via e-mail; you'll just have to click the big orange button like everybody else from now on.I might as well tell you about some of the other buttons over there:The "Bookmark" button takes you to a handy page where you can bookmark The Sci Fi Catholic on any bookmarking service.The "Get My Widget" button enables you to put a widget on your own site that features my handsome m

The Ladies... have put up there "Hot Blogger" brackets, and yours truly was chosen as one of the lucky 88 in the field. I'm the 19th seed in the Campbell division, so that means that I have as much chance as Eric Mangini in a bodybuilding contest.That said, I'm shamelessly asking for a few votes, just to make my first round loss a bit more respectable.And yes, that is my picture right there. My apologies to those that thought that I'm this fine gentleman in the picture below. Sad thing is that I'd probably have a better chance at winning if I sent in his pic....

A year at Burger King my senior year of high school taught me that humanity is vile. A summer waitressing the graveyard shift at Steak-n-Shake left me totally exhausted. A month waitressing at a Chinese restaurant in my hometown brought me to the realization that I was neither blonde enough nor personable enough to bring in the big tips. Six weeks at a Dell computers call center has caused me to

There is this video by GMA News that is so appalling and disgusting regarding a grocery gift card supposedly coming from a supermarket owned by defeated congressional candidate Benjie Lim. In it we see throngs of upset and disappointed people that turn out in droves wanting to get their “freebies” or electoral bribe to exercise their right of “suffrage”. It was so pathetic seeing people react in

First of all an update on the competition. Due to several requests I have extended the due date until July 1. Several of the ladies who would like to enter will be on holidays, and it seems many others are busy around this time with school ending and the like. I have also given up with the Google spreadsheet, due to some technical issues. So if you are participating, just email me your blog

I promised some people free stuff if they came here. But cheapmommy that I am, I don't have much stuff, period, and certainly not much to give away to you, my new readers.But please don't go. I can rustle up something. For instance, I do have a very attractive bottle of Kellogg's cinnamon-toast-flavored syrup in my basement. I have no idea how I got it, nor why syrup should itself be flavored with cinnamon toast, but I am happy to give it to you. It is Jumbo sized!I also possess 3 or 4 unused swim diapers from last year, size 1-2. Happy to make them yours.Seriously, if you are looking for freebies, you incredibly shallow and materialistic people, I'm sorry to be such a cheap shot. But cheap I am. And whiny. And lazy. And selfish. And all those sorts of things that you should have gleaned from my name. You Who Seek Free Stuff, please stay a while before leaving in disgust. I have a lot of most excellent free advice here, such as my previous post where I teach you how to teach your t
