Hey Ryan — Do You Know How To Count?

by Administrator on June 25, 2010

I’m talking about Let’s Get Social. Your video sales letter says it’s a 17 minute video. It actually lasts about 43 minutes.

You’re too good to have to trick people like this. And you talk too much. Watch a few of Eric Holmlund’s sales videos; he’s probably the best out there, and you can learn how to do them without jabbering on and on and on and on and on…

And how about some controls to pause, stop, rewind… You could be selling gold for pennies on the dollar, but the uncontrollable sales letters are annoying. The only reason I let this one play is because I wanted to make this blog post and I could keep it going while I putzed about the kitchen. I won’t buy simply because it’s one of those uncontrollable videos (not to mention the fact that you don’t know the difference between 17 minutes and 43 minutes…).

Thanks, says the grumpy old man…!

Spaghetti.

Cream.

Bacon.

It’s called spaghetti carbonara. You can get it in almost any city in Europe.

Does ANYBODY in Colorado Springs make REAL spaghetti carbonara? Not chicken, not broccoli, not some concoction smothered with that nasty american chemical cheese…

If you do, please leave a comment with the name of your restaurant. Chances are pretty good that you’ll have me as a customer soon.

Thanks. And hopefully we won’t starve from lack of healthy, natural food in the meantime.

The Death Of A Republic?

April 18, 2010

A friend (who is also retired from the military) passed the following to me. I haven’t checked out the facts (and don’t plan on doing so), so please don’t consider them to be accurate and “quote-worthy”. The reason I post this is because I have heard parts of this before and I have a rather [...]

Should I Treat My Business As A Ministry?

March 14, 2010

I’ve discovered over the past few weeks that one of my true passions is trying to live my life the way that God wants me to live it. To put it in the words of another, I want God to shine his spotlight on my life and show me areas that he wants me to [...]

Experimenting With Blog Post Titles And Permalinks

January 20, 2010

I’ve decided to try a new experiment for my blog posts. Normally, I get an idea that I want to write about and I’ll use that idea as the Title of the post. However, as I write, I usually end up editing the title ever so slightly.
As a result, by the time I’m done with [...]
