Bonnie Sullivan,  Scranton Vegan Food Examiner wrote an interesting article about social networking and Volentia.

That’s what I do

If you don’t have a decent .com domain yet – you best start searching RIGHT NOW

The best names with the biggest “brand potential” in my opinion are derived or made-up names. With a little bit of creativity you might still be able to come up with a good name…

Experiment and search for a name at dotropolis.com – if you find one you like and it’s still available – register it immediately! A strong domain name is the beginning and the end of your web presence.

If you are going to need a whole slew of domains for SEO, I highly recommend you get yourself a reseller account at commissionweaver.com – then you can register all your domains at cost…

Dianne called me on the phone
she said Ben I’m feeling so alone
I think I need a little need a little
of your tender touch

I feel agitated, so frustrated
why is life so complicated
simplify me, gratify me
make me a melody
you know, you bring out the best in me

Dianne waited at my door
she said Ben don’t you be a bore
I think I need a little need a little
of your tender touch

I feel agitated, so frustrated
why is life so complicated
simplify me, gratify me
make me a melody
you know, you bring out the best in me

Dianne danced upon my porch
she said Ben I’m burning like a torch
I think I need a little need a little
of your tender touch

I feel agitated, so frustrated
why is life so complicated
simplify me, gratify me
make me a melody
you know, you bring out the best in me

“new music in my head
tossing turning in my bed
is it something that she said
or just the way she makes me wet”

lucid baby lucid i am
i see it clearly now
it’s fairly obvious
must be an angel
riding high on my shoulder

lucid maybe lucid i’ll be
the past is over now
the future’s open
there’s so much more
wider spaces with no names

hit a little bump in the road
and you know how it threw me (yes it did)
jumped right up got back in my seat
you know you’ll always find me back on my feet

lucid surely lucid can be
a great experience
it’s such feeling
floating gently
flying high in the sky

hit a little bump in the road
and you know how it threw me (yes it did)
jumped right up got back in my seat
you know you’ll always find me back on my feet

lucid baby lucid i am
i see it clearly now
it’s fairly obvious
must be an angel
riding high on my shoulder

must be an angel
riding high on my shoulder

shackled by your own thoughts and your fears
you’re falling down at the bottom of those stairs
will you ever climb that high
will you ever learn to fly
will you ever get beyond the point of no return

swallowed by the depths of your desire
hallowed by the heat of your own fire
will you ever make the time
will you ever cross the line
will you ever get beyond the point of no return

a slice of the pie might be nice
a lucky break and no more mistakes
guess you never know what the garden of life might grow you
a bed of thorns
maybe a rose

the spider webs inside your mind
hidden in confusion you might find
a sense of your direction
a step into the spotlight
when you finally get beyond the point of no return

the point of no return…

Back in the day I remember going ape on “fuck you like an animal” in a club called the Twilight Zone/Utopia in Nelson

Being an Internet Marketer and a musician as well, has me watching Trent Reznor of NIN with interest. Here’s a guy who succeeded in the “old” music industry but also gets the “new” music industry.

This interesting Wired article has some food for thought..
