The story of a guy who was born. He was born and then did a lot of things that are now past. This is the story AFTER all that. This is going to be good. Maybe Pulitzer good? I'm salivating already.
Hey all! So as I've mentioned before, I'm part of a site called Pay Per Post where you can put up your blog as an adspace for others so that you can write a blog on their behalf for payola! I know, cool, right? Anyway, an interesting one came my way this time - Guest Post Secrets! The entire premise behind the site is that there's a simple thing that one can do in order to become better "known" in the blogosphere - and that's by writing a guest post for someone that's better entrenched in the culture than you are! But, as you can learn from the site itself, this is far from being an easy feat! In fact, there are rules and regs, steps, do's and don't's, etc. that one should do in order to make sure that they do it CORRECTLY. Getting Guest Post Secrets, from the research I did, looks like a pretty solid way to get the knowledge needed in order to do so! If you want to see what a satisfied customer from the site looks like, please read below:
I greatly enjoyed the videos in Guest Post Secrets. Not only did they sound and look professional, you have a very good speaking voice and a great way of breaking things down step by step.
I especially liked how you called out specific resources and provided cut and paste email templates.You made it so easy to start guest posting; all the tools were right there for me. In the 6 days since I bought your product, I've already sent out one guest post (will be published Monday), received a request to guest post from a second blog, and queried a third site and been accepted to do 2 for them. (I offered two possible topics and the blog author liked them both!)
Thanks for taking the time to make up such a helpful product. It was just what I needed."
Sorry it took me so long to respond. Let me finish the answer I'd been putting together for you now.
Surprisingly, this is a VERY easy question for me to answer.
The key thing I want to accomplish in my lifetime is making Fish 'n' Chimps (FNC) a household name. Since 2003, the ideas surrounding FNC have been developing in my head, on sheets of paper and on the computers I've had over that time. It's gone from a number of different scraps of paper and ideas all over the place to a better-developed idea with a skeletal storyline, a cast of characters with each being very individual and better art than I've ever seen come from my hand.
It will take a long time to make this goal/dream happen - it's not a short storyline by any means, and I'm hoping that eventually it will get to the point where I have a staff of people working on it. But that's a long way down the road.
The first thing I'll need to do is get up off of my ass and get back to producing the strips.
"Sleep is for the weak" - I've often heard this and lived by it for many years of the life I've lived so far. SO not true, as yesterday proved to me - sleep is really good to get, and as you get older (I know, I know - I'm only 26...), it's something you come to appreciate a whole lot more. Yesterday was a good example - me, feeling tired as hell, decided to take a trip to the nearby mall after work to get some jeans, since all of mine are either too baggy, ripped in the wrong places or just not my style anymore. So all was well until I needed to get my butt home - ONLY TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND MY SUBWAY PASS.
Well this was a problem. With the fact that I already pay $111 monthly for the pass, I wasn't too keen on paying extra fare in order to correct my mistake. But my mistake it was, so extra fare I did pay.$20 and one spent token later, I eventually made my way home, and emptied my bag of the day's contents. And what was at the very bottom? That's right. My April subway pass. Joy: Finding it. Not so joyous: Having bought tokens that I didn't need! Do I chalk it up to fatigue or am I just the idiotic victim of my own disorganization? I leave that to you to deci...Nah, here. Let's see what the magic poll says!
However, I did not write this just to whine and complain - I do come bearing gifts! Simple ones, but I hope they help some of my readers out there. I tend to skim through the main free papers in town day to day, and they're full of tons of info. The problem, though, is that they're placed in locations that're more convenient for commuters to grab and read while on the go - but the people who're looking for work tend to be home, trying to figure out the next steps that they need to take so that they can find another job. I've been there - I know that going outside wasn't a priority - in fact, it often took quite the effort JUST to get out there if the motivation wasn't there on a given day. So I'm going to try and get some of this material to the people who can actually use them. Today's material will focus on using the web as a means to find that next job!

Alison Griffiths just might disagree with you. In fact, I could likely take some pointers, but that's not what this blog is about, is it ;) http://www.metronews.ca/toronto/comment/article/501220--what-exactly-are-we-spending-our-money-on Anyway, thanks for reading yet another of these fantabulous posts.

Q: How do you juggle work, side projects, a girlfriend, friends, sports and social time? A: Not very well, apparently! Let's not kid ourselves, folks, I definitely haven't been as attentive to this blog as I'd like to be - in fact, my performance has been downright dismal at times. But I still haven't quit. Originally I was just going to put up a quick sound clip for today to talk about what I've been up to and whatnot, but I felt like it would be doing my readers a bit of a disservice as to what they might expect from this blog. Work's been busy, to say the least. There's a lot of expectations for a lot of deliverables to land correctly, and I'm at the helm on a number of them. Unfortunately, and this is something I should have taken into consideration, it's affected a good load of my extracurriculars as well. I make an effort to fit in at least one day of sports per week, biweekly Bible study sessions, time with Sarah, hangouts with friends and other obligations that require my attention - but due to this, it seems that too many projects fall by the wayside. I know that some of my friends are experiencing much of the same when they try to balance their lives as well with the projects that they're trying to accomplish on the side. It's not easy at all, but there is a way that one can approach it and hope to obtain any success from their endeavours whatsoever.Discipline.I haven't been disciplined enough, and I'll be the first to admit it. When I started this blog, I aimed to do it daily so that everyone could keep updated on the progress that was being made - but then progress wasn't happening. Things were taking longer to get done than I'd like and I was getting discouraged. But that's far from a good reason to bow out. Do parents quit when their children make a mistake? Did some of the greatest entertainers in our history throw in the towel when they made one bad song, movie, book, etc.? I think not. It requires a paradigm shift and the dedication to get where one wants to be. But do I have it in me? That's an entirely different question. One can always try, but this world will quickly tell you that trying is often far from good enough. I have a backlog of content to share and projects to attack, so I hope you'll walk with me this week as I try to wade my way through it all and hopefully save the 2010 20K from the gurney! Running total = $192.14Thanks always,--case p.P.S. Attached the sound file for posterity.
Ha, I don't normally post stuff like this, but sometimes we all need a little help. Sarah was kind enough to show this article to me from The Toronto Star (no, she wasn't dropping any hints), and I think everyone should take a look to see what they agree with, disagree with, or even think is just plain stupid.
A few key things I'll note:
Outside of the Facebook item in the women list, I'll pretty much agree with everything there
The men's list is WAY longer than the women's list. Is this telling or just plain biased?

I was trying to get an article up entitled "60 Ways to Lose Your Lover", but I'm guessing that something is up with the way that Posterous is rendering images tonight, so I'll have to get it posted another time.
Sorry for what seemed to be spam - it was just a frustrated Casey trying to get his blog working!

My bad, y'all - it's been a while, I know. Here's my formal apology and promise to get back to doing what I do... well, maybe not best, but at least what I was doing before :)
Give it a listen and feel free to give me a piece of your mind!
