My Sad Side of blogging | Dark Side | The Voodoo Ritual | Curse | Spam | Another One of those days
Blogging can become a curse sometimes and i think about this but you know its better not talked upon when you are demotivated a stressed out . Offcorse blogging has loads of plus points but yes you should never undermine that it got negative effects as well. The criticism ,the pauperism , the spamming culture , the down time on my site , Keeping things in order , Lazy ness, add via widget placement , checking all your mails so you don't miss out on something and numerous things that afflict a blogs uncertain future . When you are blogging then its up to you to face all such problems and you should be prepared for this . Its a fact i will be proving some of them . Its essential that all newbie blogger learn something from this . I will be pointing out some tips and tricks . And yes i will also be asking for your help to understand a few things too .
I am like this baby . I can't seem to grab everything that i see at least for the prizes i.e. They look so pretty and yet i try but i never seem to win its like a curse all my fellow bloggers are winning a heap loads i am still stuck in a heap of junk thinking someone might come along and give me a light or a direction to follow .
Even if thats not enough i got ticketing troubles now that i have my VISA i can't go to Canada until the 6th having some real bad schedule i just wish this moment of depression passes by although i am a really happy go lucky kind of person but sometimes if you persuade something you get trapped in the middle and when the time comes your nowhere neither here nor there . Can't get enough of it . Then comes the newbie stunts i pull of . I forgot last time i spammed on PB i am really sorry for that . But thats life . You can't learn untill you make mistakes.
Spam
If you've been reading any tech news sites lately, you've probably noticed two distinct trends:
1) Lots of reporting of the storm worm, with sub-stories related to mass hijacks of publicly-owned websites for the purposes of infecting the public's PC's with the Storm worm. (With still further subsets focusing on the "Russian Business Network" (or "RBN") being behind the whole setup.)
2) Lots of arrests, convictions, and imprisonments of large-scale illegal spammers. (Including one murder-suicide of a previously incarcerated illegal spammer.)
3) More raids in Romania of online scammers, predominantly eBay scammers.
4) Lots of arrests and indictments related to the TJ Maxx identity theft incidents from last year.
As with last year, 2008 is proving to be an extremely bad year for illegal spammers.
I define an illegal spammer as the following, which is more specific than CAN-SPAM:
- They don't care who they send to, or whether they actually ever wanted to hear from them in the first place.
- Further to that point: they actively seek out email addresses of total strangers to start spamming them. They know that these email addresses are not actively seeking to be sent spam. They don't care.
- They try to get as much deliverability out of their messages whenever they know that their messages are being specifically filtered against (remember: they know these people don't want the messages in the first place.)
- They spam the same individual numerous times per day. (And in many cases: per hour.)
- They spam urls representing largely illegal or fraudulent websites, selling either fake or counterfeit products, in violation of international law.
- They never opt anyone out, ever, and never honor any inbound communication regarding spamming.
- In many cases, their sites actively filter for any words related to spamming in their email or contact forms. They are well aware that they operate in violation of the law, and the public's privacy.
Well if thats not enough there are major spam kings who are willing to spam during thier sleeps as well. Many spammer are locked up in high security prisons so if your up in here to spam think twice before you do it .
Subscribers
So as you can see i am not doing well with my subscribers too . If your new here and like what i write then please do subscribe to my blog . You might not know what you miss out .

Look Alikes- You might be thinking what are look alikes . Well they are bloggers who try to copy or make thier idols and start plagerism .

They are just these to indtimidate you with unfactual information and copied stuff from the NET . its not like you will face them everyday they are few who can achive thier own standard and look different so which clan you in .
The Flight To Canada 1 day to Go
Yesterday
Had a rough day yesterday i had to take out most of my junk out of the house consisting of old broken Cds, Useless papers, Broken watches and you know all that crap. But yea everything has a silver lining mine was that i will be leaving for Canada tomorrow and i feel soo excited as well as nervous . I just hope everything goes well and have a lovely journey . My friend Adi has already left last night and i will be leaving tomorrow . I have to make it in time wish i don't mess up my classes and miss them .
The Ticket Consultant
I kind of booked my ticket yesterday over the phone and got away with a sweet deal the was like begging for it so like i got it for around 38000 INR/- which is supposed to be much but as compared to the prices that they were giving out at this point of time well it flat out cheap. M just lucky to get it at this point . Or i was getting a normal ticket to halifax for 60000 bucks . That money doesn't come easy . I needed to buy a laptop . So yesterday after search a lot on google i finally stumbled upon a site . Well i had a mano-e-mano converstation with the one of the staff . Damn it took them 2 hours to find me ticket and you won't believe i almost got angry at them for taking soo much time and i had to keep telling them please don't make me land in the US or i will be bummed with whole VISA questioner it was like reapeating the whole thing over & over . Every time this help line attendant gave me ticket she said " I have found you the best deal its for 43k " But when you go into the details yea its through America . This happened 3 times finally when she gives me the right ticket it costs 75000 i was like WTF . And then like her manager i think she was on round or something so i said to her i am sorry i am not satisfied with your results .
Manager - Complimentary tickets
Then the manager comes on and says we are very sorry for the inconvenience some of our staff is new here . Then she offers me a ticket to Toronto @ 38000 well i was more than Glad to take it and since it was a change flight from London i was like Thank you and she explained me that they keep 7% of their tickets in the VIP quota and like they are always reserved for them . And these seats aren't given until the last moment . So after getting this complimentary gift i am set to depart on the 3rd of Sept. And well it hasn't been a pretty site in my home everyone is like crying . Its like i am not going to have a net connection there . Seriously the net makes the world a much smaller place . I just hope this journey is awesome and my stay there a enriching experience .
The Baggage
Getting all my packing done . The per scribed weight that i can take on to the flight is as below:
2 Bags of 157 CM each holding 23 kgs
1 handbag 8kg holding .
Like i am trying to cover up the ground here and filling the bags to the foretold weight . And weighing them . I roped one of the bags the other on i will be doing tonight . Baggage is set now for those tickets .
Now Headed to...
I have to goto CP to Collect my tickets and well yea . Its pretty far from where i am staying . So sionara to all my readers and i will get back to you as soon as i buy a lappy in Canada . Don't worry i will fill in the blind spots and give you full info on my journey . Hopefully i may get on some neat pics . What do you expect i am going there so have to drop up in there and check out the new pirated arrivals . Am a gamer so gotta keep upadates . Haven't played i new game in 2weeks now feels like boredom . Well i finish a game well atleast i try to finish it with in 24hrs . But few games like GTA aren't built for that kind of treatment . You need a dedicated player to finish that one . Its like on the verge of impossible and seeing the new release making a hit on the market i want to get a Ps3 of my own . But the console costs a lotta dough anyways see you guys in Canada.
