I'm here for ME! - The Shameless Self Promotion Thread

I've got two. One that I tried to take somewhere, and one thats kinda taking off on its own.

Its my personal blog, but it hasn't been updated since January. Its usually just a sounding board for ideas for my other blog and just end up deleted from this one. But its a chance to lay down personal narrative and write about anything at any time.

This is my project. I'm a young (24) conservative, and have felt for years that nobody thought I existed or gave a shit what I thought. So I took to writing my ideas down and it led to a blog. One that has attracted some attention (more than I expected) and people looking to write with me. I'd like feedback on this project, if you have any. Not so much on the material- everybody has an opinion, but on the execution. What can I do to make it more appealing? What in my writing style works, doesn't work...should I just hang it up? (I post under my nickname- Mickey)

I'm a rare poster around TIB, but I lurk a lot. I appreciate all of your opinions and your overall general knowledge. I think there are some of you out there who could help me. I want to take my idea bigger, but I'm grasping at straws at how, as its unfamiliar territory for me.

Any ideas?

 

I've been reviewing Belfasts nightlife for the last year (poorly).

<a class="postlink" href="http://belfastnightlife.blogspot.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://belfastnightlife.blogspot.com</a>

Get's about 50 local hits a day, made me 25quid in ad revenue and gets me into clubs for free every now and then.

We were filming something else when we decided to take a break and do a little skit (read: no preparation). Damn I look good. It's on my friend's account, he's uploading it to youtube I think, so no one can see it on youtube too.

 

I've run out of pride.

I'm in charge of the corporate blog here and... it sucks. I have no illusions about that. But if you click here it'll make me look... less bad? Is that all I can hope for? Less bad? Crap.

PS. I'm not even going to get into a discussion on the worthlessness of corporate blogs and corporate social media in general. Just believe me, every time a company says OH MY GOD FACEBOOK! They're chances of going out of business increases by 2%. It's science.

 

What's this? A Youtube channel with drunken shenanigans, amateur wakeskating, and rope swinging? How unique and exciting /mouth fart*.

I've been using the video on my new camera a lot and figure this is the easiest way to share the videos with my friends. Couldn't hurt having a few more eyes looking at how we spend our free time I guess.

Didn't know this thread existed until today. Neat.

Been working on this blog for a few months, and my two newest posts are lifted from/link to TiB. Figure it's only fair to link back. Everything else is new. Enjoy, but not too hard.

Oh, and next one to join the Facebook page becomes the 69th member! Exciting.

I created an iPhone game version of Liar’s Dice after having fond memories of playing it during Red Dead Redemption. In that game the AI was so terrible it was kind of sad. In the iTunes App Store the only other versions are incredibly unnecessarily cumbersome and difficult to play. I have absolutely no artistic ability (or really any programming experience), but the game I made is actually pretty fun.

It’s 99 cents with a Lite version coming in about a week.

Here’s the link:

The rest is just ad text:

Lying Liar’s Dice (Text From iTunes/App Store)

Lying Liar’s Dice is a near perfect port of the classic bar game Liar’s Dice. Realistic, streamlined game play and challenging computer opponents highlight this (currently) no frills iPhone adaptation. Features include:

- Play Against 1-5 Computer Opponents
- Quick Game Play With No Load Times or Unnecessary Waiting
- Terrible (but Adequate) Graphics!

Lying Liar’s Dice is the definition of Mobile Gaming which places Quick Fun above all else. The average game with 5 Opponents will take about 5 minutes to complete and will be filled with strategy, thinking, and most importantly FUN. As the game progresses immersion and emotion are guaranteed!

An Absolute must try for anyone who wants to play Liar’s Dice on the go.

Liar’s Dice is a game which tests the deception, strategy, and analytical abilities of its players. Each player begins with 5 dice and the objective is to be the last one standing. Each turn players place increasing bids to determine the total number of Two’s through Sixes currently rolled between them with One’s wild. If a bid is challenged, the total number of the bid die are counted and the loser of the challenge loses a die. A simple and fun game which is best learned through experience.

 

My cooking blog.
CookingWithBrasky.blogspot.com

my new job is sucking up my spare time, as well as life force. However I will be posting about a dozen new meals and step by step pics of the ones up.

 

A work in progress, probably sucks but I need an outlet. I have a few more updates written, so maybe wait a few days

<a class="postlink" href="http://ramblingchemist.blogspot.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://ramblingchemist.blogspot.com</a>

Apologize in advance... I cannot spell

 

SGEDIT: No.

 

I have a website. It's fantastic. You'll love it. Yes, you specifically. I get personal like that.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.jrussellmikkelsen.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.jrussellmikkelsen.com</a>

There's a little something for everyone: a webcomic, short stories--some funny, some tragic, all true--and my personal favorite, reasonable offers to outrageous craigslist ads.

Having been a poster on RMMB for years and TiB since Mr. Max shut it down, I will venture a guess that either The Emails or the House o' Crazies will be a good place for you to start. Please note the House o' Crazies has been undergoing major revisions but new stories should be ready within a month.



An interesting side note: in light of my discovery that Chater is filthy rich, I ran the test on my own site and discovered that I too am wealthy beyond belief. My website is worth a whopping $140!! Suck on that doubters.

 

My buddy just finished law school and took the bar exam in July. Now he's writing and blogging about finding his first job. You can read about it here:

<a class="postlink" href="http://jdjobsearchindc.blogspot.com/?spref=g" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://jdjobsearchindc.blogspot.com/?spref=g</a>

This is not me and he doesn't know that I'm linking this, but if you're a budding lawyer or looking for work you might find some of this amusing or, even, helpful.

 

I don't have a blog or anything, but sometimes I write stuff and put it on facebook. As such, I don't get too much feedback, just a few "likes" and "Haha!"s... So here is "The Joe[Canada] Friend Application"! Any feedback is appreciated!

Spoiler

According to facebook, I have 169 friends. Quite frankly, however, I'm not convinced all of you qualify as--or even want to be--my friends. So, I took the liberty of creating this highly scientific, e-harmony-esque-but-not-gay-at-all, application/questionnaire to determine which of you have what it takes to be my friend. Alright, cell phones off and you have 12 minutes... Begin!



1. We enter a bar, and I see a girl who I think is super sexy. I say "Hey, see that girl over there? She looks like she's my type, don't hit on her, ok?" To which you reply (if you are a girl, just pretend you're a lesbian):

a) "What, are you calling dibs on her? That's a human being, with feelings, how dare you refer to her as if she's just... just... PREY for you to HUNT! Let me tell you something about feminism..."
b) "No problem! I'm honoured just to be here watching the master at work!"
c) "That's a girl?"
d) "I'm a lesbian and we should have a threesome with her!"


2. Joe[Canada] is to Society as _______ is/are to Literature

a) The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
b) Those "Turn to page 59 if you go in the scary cave" choose-your-own-ending books
c) Everybody Poops
d) Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay on DVD


3. It's my birthday or Christmas or whatever. You really want to impress me with a great present, so you decide to get me a:

a) Remote control monster truck
b) Bag of socks (nice socks)
c) Thoughtful, hand-made, ultimately useless thing that relates to some inside joke we have
d) Whole bunch of porn
e) b and d


4. The apocalypse is happening. Shit! Nobody knows what to do, because people only prepared for zombies and no other doomsday scenario. "Yeah, and then we'll take our shotguns and drive around in a sweet Hummer!!" Good plan, idiot. Now you're getting stabbed in the throat for the can of beans you're carrying. Anyway, what do we do?

a) Stab that second guy, because we fucking need those beans
b) Waste no time, and immediately work together to gather essential goods to last us 2-3 days while we think of a more long term plan
c) Start our own society in which we have absolute power and then rebuild the world
d) Take our shotguns and drive around in a sweet Hummer!


5. Pineapple Express is the best movie of all time

a) Totally!
b) Maybe, but Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is up there too
c) I'll show myself out


6. I just fell into a fast moving river and am desperately clinging to the last rock before an enormous waterfall with big sharp rocks at the bottom. What do you do?

a) Quickly fashion a rope out of plants using your expertise in outdoor survival
b) Run around yelling for help even though we're in the middle of nowhere
c) Throw rocks and sticks at me
d) Tell the world my story


7. You win the lottery, and I convince you to give me most of it

a) ...Yes? Then what?
b) Wait, you can't have most of it! (I'll show myself out)

b) Whether we should pull over or try and outrun the cops
c) How bad the bullet wound in your chest looks
d) How much I hate getting tasered in the face and going to jail


9. We're at a party, and a large muscular fellow wants to fight me because I allegedly told his girlfriend that she was a "big dumb bitch" (his words). I'm clearly way too drunk to have said anything of the sort, so you:

a) Beat up the big tough guy
b) Let me get the ass kicking "that I deserve" (your words)
c) Convince the big tough guy, using infallible logic, that his girlfriend is, in fact, a big dumb bitch
d) Make up a story about me having a serious brain condition and convince him that if he hits me I'll die and he'll go to jail. Then we throw a drink in his face, kick him in the shins, and run away


10. Rate the following attributes you consider to be most important in a friend, with 1 being the most important, 2 being the second most important, etc., down to 5

[ ] Intellect
[ ] Integrity

Aaand pencils down! You can send me your completed applications in a signed, sealed envelope no later than August 28th. If you're reading this after August 28th, I apologize, but I have only left this up for educational purposes. I'm probably with a good friend kicking some big jerk in the shins as you read this!

 

I'm trying to break into travel writing. Unfortunately, I'm bad at funding my own trips, so I entered a contest to get a few new places under my belt and develop better clips. It's a free entry, and I'm saying this is for my own selfish benefit: I want to be a travel writer.

I started this blog so I could harass another blogger, but I kind of got into it. Rep point me if you enjoy anything in it at all.

 

I started a blog which I've been thinking about for a while. Basically, I needed somewhere to write down all the lunacy I see happening in the world so I don't feel inclined to yammer it out every time I have a serious conversation with someone.

Besides, I think someone needs to say these things. I might as well get ridiculed for it.

<a class="postlink" href="http://senseandlogic.wordpress.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://senseandlogic.wordpress.com/</a>

 

So... I've kinda decided in the back of my mind that I'm going to go ahead and do something I've wanted to do for awhile. Actually make by business grow some.

What do I do? I make custom riflestocks and stock blanks. By hand. What does this mean? I make very fancy wood gunstocks that help the gun shoot frighteningly well.

Because it's going to get crazy and I tend to take lots of photos and like sharing them, I figured a blog would be a good place to organize them.

Behold!

<a class="postlink" href="http://northernriflestocks.wordpress.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://northernriflestocks.wordpress.com/</a>

I've got one post up and I need to figure out how to upload photos properly. However, if you follow it, you'll see many many gratuitous photos of my fancy rifles and projects. Maybe I'll try and teach people a few things. Anyways, I know I flood the Guns and Ammo thread with my work, so if people want to see more- check it out.

 

My brother made an album. It's mostly heavy metal but a few of the songs fall way outside the genre. Check it out (I made the awesome penis-tower album artwork as a joke and he actually used it).

<a class="postlink" href="http://scarletcitadel.bandcamp.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://scarletcitadel.bandcamp.com/</a>



Interesting backstory--my brother quit his six figure job to do this for fun, and recorded the album by himself in his apartment. He's going back on the job market but I was pretty impressed that he followed through with this.

 

I'm not sure if there is a better place to post this, if there is please let me know.

I've been practising my writing a lot recently becuase it's something I really enjoy. I've been submitting pieces and getting them printed in my student newspaper which I was very pleased with. Now I've started with a sort of mini-novel about my experiences as a Student. It's not a tucker-max clone, although I can see why some people might think that, just I'm only twenty and so have been writing about what I know.

The writings not great, far from it, but I'm hoping to get better over time and feel this is good practice. I've got 10,000 words written so far, but have only put up one chapter so far as the rest hasn't been gone over as finely as it should have been, I'll be putting the next 'chapter' up shortly. If anyone has any constructive criticism please let me know. Here it is:
