Obama
I’m glad I left the U.S. when I did. President Obama is doing the opposite of everything he’s promised; probably more than any politician in history. I suggest you get on YouTube and watch “The Obama Deception”, then verify all the claims made in that film through your own research.
Don’t take my word for it. Look up the info yourself. The world’s powers don’t control the Internet … yet.
They will if you let them.
I used to think the democrats and the republicans were both evil, but in different ways. Now I know they’re both bad, but in the same way. Political affiliation does not matter. Look to who is pulling the strings at the top. Look at the corporations.
America’s Future Number One Auto Journo Visits Australia
Me in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
… and let me tell you, this place is pretty effin’ amazing, man. As I work tirelessly to find a job, I will be less present on this blog, but that is not to say that I have forgotten about my dreams. There are some great things coming down the pipeline. I’ve learned something of significant value during my time here. I read Paul McKenna’s Change Your Life In 7 Days and I found that when I was trying to actualise my dreams, I was doing it completely wrong.
Turns out you actually have to imagine those great things happening to you for them to actually happen. So let’s say you want to be the richest man in the world … and you’re a woman … simply saying to yourself, “I will be the richest man in the world” isn’t going to get you anywhere. You have to imagine yourself (being a man) seeing your bank statements growing. You have to feel how it feels to have a massive fortune. You have to imagine seeing what you expect to see when you’ve amassed great wealth.
This is very powerful information. Everyone should read every book written by Paul McKenna. I have been listening to his hypnosis tapes since I was a little boy. He helped save me through many of the treacheries of childhood. Now his books are helping me reach my goal … you know, the one where I want to become America’s next top automotive journalist.
My Christmas Wish List
Life Must Be Treated Like a Monet Painting - Not Toilet Paper
Here’s a quote from yours truly: “The term ‘American Dream’ is so ’20th century’. The way things are going in this country, we’re in the 23rd century.”
The United States is the modern Roman Empire, but we aren’t about to fall. We will continue to thrive, but the days of people immigrating here for a better life are over.
As for me, I’m leaving this country the day after Christmas. I’ll be landing upon Sydney, Australia on the 28th of December.
I have effectively given up on America. What I want for Christmas is something America cannot give me, and that’s a job. Yes, I may be currently employed as a tutor, but I care not to increase my hours, for making it full-time is not in my best interest.
There’s plenty of work in Australia – they have not been affected by the Great Recession. I have my one-year working visa and I plan to obtain employment down under within my first three weeks in the country. I’ve always fancied living out one of those stories where someone comes to a country with little money in his pocket and ends up becoming someone important and established.
As a writer, I need to expand my horizons through life experiences. How am I to be fascinating to readers if I haven’t traveled the world? I’ve only been to Europe so far – there’s much more life to be lived. There’s much more land to be traveled.
I tell people what I’m doing and their eyelids dilate like a vaginal canal upon childbirth. The first thing that comes out of their mouth is, “Oh, I could never do what you’re doing.”
The sad truth, though, is that they can. They just let their minds multiply their adversity to discovery and living life. Life is to be lived in the same way bubble wrap is to be popped. When you just exist you make a mockery out of the brilliance of life’s potential. This is the same as using a Monet painting to wipe your ass.
So that is why I am fleeing this country. I may not make it in Australia. I may return to the states in three weeks. Who knows. At least I tried. At least I got a vacation out of it.
Is what I’m doing stupid? I’d love to prove you wrong. Is what I’m doing crazy? I would hope so.
Free Golf Carts … What Are You Waiting For? I Said “FREE GOLF CARTS”!
Golf Carts, Golf Carts, Get Your Free Golf Carts
It’s a new day in America. We are living in a country where the government is practically giving out free golf carts. This is amazing.
Now this isn’t the government’s way of honoring Tiger Woods, nor are they planning a national holiday for the troubled golfer.
What we’re dealing with here is a tax credit that allows you to buy a golf cart and then get reimbursed for the purchase price – think of cash for clunkers, but cooler.
So what’s the catch? There really isn’t one. Just buy a street-legal golf cart, and the government will provide you with a tax credit in the range of $4,200 to $5,500. If your golf cart happens to cost less than what you get back from the government, hey, Merry Christmas from the U.S. Government.
Here’s a place where you can start shopping for a golf cart right now: http://www.villagesgolfcartman.com
What are you waiting for? This golf cart stimulus ain’t gonna last forever.
Surviving The Recession
How many people do you know who have been affected by the recession? Probably more that one. Has the Great Recession affected you? It’s very likely, even if you haven’t lost your job. While the economic litmus test is unemployment rate, often times we neglect to think about those who are underemployed.
While the national unemployment rate is hovering around 10 percent, the underemployment rate is closer to 22 percent.
I’m a person who loves to take bad situations and make good out of them. My political views are more left than right, but I’ve taken a page out of the right-wing playbook: instead of waiting on others to get me through this recession, I’m taking the initiative to rely on myself to get through this recession.
So how am I doing that? I’m diving head first into going for my dream of becoming the future number-one automotive journalist in North America.
I think one possible way of doing that is creating my version of Top Gear; one of the most popular television shows on the planet with 350 million viewers worldwide. It is also the TV show that has inspired my career path for the past seven years.
American audiences are craving more Top Gear, but they’re stuck with year-old episodes on BBC America. NBC tried bringing an American version of Top Gear hosted by Adam Carolla to the primetime lineup, but that fell through … and that’s a shame because I was at that pilot episode’s filming, and the show was hilarious. More on that in another post.
But there is a craving that needs satiation. My goal in life is to fill that content vacuum.
So what’s the next step in achieving my ultimate goal? Today I’ll officially unveil this site to my pals on Facebook. I should have my business cards by week’s end as well.
And in the near future? Well, since I’m starting at nothing, I have to ask a lot of questions, so in my interview series, I will be asking people advice on how I should tailor my path to success … not just in the automotive media, but in other professions as well, like acting and business and academia because however people have become successful, the common thread among them is the good advice they can give.
This site is here to inspire all – not just the car people.
I’m still figuring out how to post my newsletter sign-up form to the Web site, but I’ve already set up everything on the newsletter side, so I’ll suss out the WordPress side soon.
