073: Cigarettes & Red Bull: Understanding Human, Race, and Religion. Through Mass Communications?

Sunday, January 3, 2010

My brain is still pounding from whatever things that happened for the past few weeks, thus disabling my concentrations on the revisions for tomorrow's exam (or rather, later in the afternoon). If I get a penny for every confusion I've had for the past weeks, hell, I could buy an island! (Okay, that's exaggerating)

I get mixed reactions from the people I know. One was surprised (and she calls me stupid), one was baffled, but supportive.

Maybe I can attribute some psychological explanation to their reactions (why not? I'm supposed to be revising now, and probably this will help me get a better understanding of the subject). The surprised one was having this perception that I won't be foolish enough to be wanting it, and wondered what made me wants it. Her assumptions of the thing was all negative, and she was not supportive, but rather, waiting for the 'demise' of my need (or should I say want?). The supportive one was practicing cognitive dissonance. He probably thought that it was a bad idea, but, he still supported me. (Okay, I don't think this will help me for exams, :-P )

It doesn't matter what they think. I'm certain that I have found what I was looking for. Sadly, I'm also convinced that I won't get it. This is probably a once in a lifetime thing. And now, it seems that I won't be getting it no matter how hard I tried.

Damn, I hate myself now. Why must I be different?

Hey there,


First and foremost, I happened to chance upon your blog via the Nuffnang Ad Exchange program and I realised that your blog is truly awesome!



Hence, if you don't mind, I will like to propose a really beneficial deal which goes like this,



I will visit your blog whenever I see an advertisement on my own blog and then I will click on the advertisement if there happens to be one on your blog.


You might be thinking, “How am I sure that this guy is going to click on the advertisements for me?” Well, simple, nuffnang has this program called Community *NEW* which is right below the Analytics under Referrals. You can go check it out frequently to make sure that I have visited your blog promptly.


Then you might be thinking, “So what? He can visit my blog but it still does not prove that he has been clicking on the advertisements.”


Yes, I totally understand where you guys are coming from. But, rest assured I will not be so selfish that I visit your blog merely to save myself in your list. Clicking on the advertisements takes me less than 2 seconds and I do not suffer any loss at all by doing that. So, I swear to you, mark my words that I will click on your ads consistently throughout the month. As far as possible, I will do my best to visit your blog at least twice a week!

Let's say I click on your ad once a week, you will a minimum of an additional 80cents per month. But if I click on it on other computers whenever the chance arises, you will definitely earn more than that!


By the way, my own personal blog is at bizybay.blogspot.com



So, what do you say? Would you like to collaborate with me on this project as well whereby we visit each other's blog and click on the ad for each other whenever we see the opportunity?


It will be great if you can follow me on my blog!!! That will make it easier for you too.


P.S. Do let you friends know about the blog if you like it! Thanks a gazillion! Appreciate it deeply from my heart!!!


Regards,
