“Can you sign this disclaimer form?” asked the Doctor, an hour before I was supposed to have surgery. By now my fingers felt numb, I had departed ways with MySpace and wasn’t sure where 2009 would take me.
Before I went in, I remember thinking: A year ago my friend told me about RSI and now I’m in hospital about to have an operation. How things can change so much in …
Now, usually my posts are about helping, inspiring and telling stories or theories. I dont often let people know much about me besides the work side of me, but I am going to write a couple of posts about the nightmare I have been living with throughout 2008 and 2009. I am a pretty closed person but with this post and 1 more, you will read a true, personal story about me and the long battle I have had with Repetitive Strain Injury aka RSI.

“Guys, do you …
The last half of the naughties saw a lot of growing trends; availability of Broadband on a large scale, online video growth went through the roof, connecting to friends/acquantances became easier and the gap between an unreachable celeb to the common folk decreased due to the likes of MySpace & Facebook. However with the good, always comes the bad – and they can trend too! One in particular has been the rise of the Internet Gangster.
Urban Dictionary describes these “hoodlums” as: “One who uses the internet as a front for …
Jay-Z once said, “A wise man told me don’t argue with fools/because people from a distance can’t tell who is who”.
When he said this in 2001, there was no Twitter, Facebook or even MySpace. So if you saw two people arguing, it would usually be in the flesh. A few years later, arguing online seems common place and depending on the size of your network, a lot of people can watch the argument unfold. People don’t always know who started it, and probably don’t care, …
I have heard many wonderful things about the world of Yoga, so last night I thought I would see what all the hype was about. I was told Bikram Yoga (Yoga in a very heated room), was the best type so I went with my friend Saj to South London to participate in a relaxing night of “exercise”. It can’t be that hard, right? I mean how difficult can stretching and breathing be?
Since I was diagnosed with RSI (repetitive strain injury), my physio’s have recommended I …
I have worked in music and online for over 10 years now and I used to think that it was just this industry where it was not based on talent alone to break in. However over the years I realised it’s every industry. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
One of the reasons social networks have become so powerful is because people are becoming famous overnight. Unless you were already a celeb, the 1 thing in common people who became famous all had were powerful communities ie, …
See I believe in money, power, and respect.
First You get the money.
Then you get the muthaf*ckin, power.
After you get the f*ckin’ power muthaf*ckas will respect you.
(Little Kim-money, power and respect (radio edit))
I think this is true in gangster films and some aspects of real life but if you relate this to the world of social media, I think it is in reverse. First you get the respect, then you get the power and once you have the power then you will get the money.
Respect
Content is king and to have …

Imagine, we have three tasks. They are all at zero out of ten in terms of where we want them to be. We get the first task to 7/10. We are not 100% happy with this, but it is at an acceptable level. Therefore, we let the “perfectionism” inside subside for that particular task, in pursuit of “perfection” of the whole task. Lets repeat line.
“Therefore, we let the ‘perfectionism’ …
I was sent this post by someone who wishes to remain anonymous. We were constantly going back and forth over this concept and I really like his way of thinking. Now this might not be for everybody but it is definitely food for thought. It is a long post so I have decided to break it up over two parts. Let me know what you think. Do you ever apply this concept?
From now on, I want you to put an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin….I don’t care how …
I hate being someone who is all talk, so today I made a public service announcement stating the fact I will be doing an online video series about social media and general topics. I said I would do something like this ages ago but now I am making that commitment. So here is the first one, I hope you enjoy!!!
