…and therefore I occasionally search Google/Twitter for mentions of moi.
It’s always awesome when someone you really respect says something nice about you :-)

6 Pack Update (4 Months)
The whole 6-Pack Experiment started roughly 4 months ago.
The plan was to get 6-Pack abs in one month…did that happen? Not completely. However by month two and three I was at a physique I was definitely happy with.
With the help of MyBodyTutor, my attitudes about eating and exercising were completely changed by the 2nd month. It was very easy to eat well from that point on.
The 6-Pack Experiment has been officially over for a while now….so have a I slipped back into bad habits? NOT AT ALL! I never gave up any type of food…just ate good and not bad.
Currently I eat pretty well and do Bikram Yoga every other day.
Here are some updated pictures:
(All of these were taken in the last 2 weeks or so…the last picture was taken yesterday after eating a meal):
Four months ago I could wear those shorts without a belt….now they literally fall off without one.
Considering I’m no longer doing the rigorous ab exercises I started off doing, the results are pretty decent. I don’t have rippling washboard abs or 0% body fat, but this physique is quite satisfactory to me.
P.S. I wonder if posting tons of douchebaggy photos of myself online will come back to haunt me one day?? Good thing I never wanna be president!
1st Aug Post
Really tired….barely made the first post…but here it is:
My favorite thing…
One of my favorite things on this Earth is:
Sitting at the state capitol building.
…in the wee hours of the morning
…alone
…reading
I have easily spent hundreds of hours here.
It’s open 24 hours, heavily guarded, meticulously maintained, and extremely quiet at night.
There is something that is simply marvelous about sitting on one of the war memorials inscribed with the names of thousands of people who have died, sacrificed and fought for the unbelievably cushy and enjoyable life I get to lead.
I sit there and read. Or plan. Or think.
It’s truly a humbling experience that reminds me we all stand on the shoulders of giants.
I sometimes wonder if others have such a remarkable place to call their own.

Why Facebook Sued Me
You can see all my previous posts about FacebookProfile.com here:
- Category listing of all posts
- Introducing FacebookProfile.com
- How I had the site designed
- The chalkboard gimmick
- Because of FacebookProfile I was in a Lebanese newspaper
- Because of the Lebanese newspaper I was on Digg
- Selling FacebookProfile.com
- Sold it
Interesting side note:
Because of the screenshots I’ve posted from FacebookProfile.com of my own Facebook profile back in the day….my whole profile (including phone number, address, email etc.) has been in HUNDREDS of documents including newspapers, magazines, published papers, blog posts, books, news stories and presentations all over the world!
Another interesting side note:
Till this day, if you Google the term “Facebook ASCII”, 98% of the art you find was made by ME! You will see it on many different websites, all by people who:
- Read my blog posts about how much traffic FacebookProfile.com got.
- Made their own Facebook-related site.
- Swiped all the content from FacebookProfile.
After it was bought I didn’t care less. However the next owner of the site never updated it, then about a year later the site disappeared…
It also doesn’t matter anymore because most of that ASCII made back then is now obsolete due to changes in Facebook’s text editor.
Hot Car = Hot Tea
I used to do this with plastic water bottles,
but plastic bottles + lots of heat = not good.
So now instead of gross water that I never sip, I just keep different flavors of tea in the car all the time!

August 2010 Goal – Writing Everyday
I hate making up blog post titles
Well I’ve certainly been a lazy bastard lately.
It seems I’ve got the Tim Ferris “4 Hour Work Week” down for my business House Of Rave, because I swear that’s about as much effort I’ve been putting in lately.
I say this in a BAD way. Just because I only have to work on it for 30 minutes a day, doesn’t mean I SHOULD. It also means that I can GET AWAY with only 30 minutes per day, but it doesn’t GROW without a little more effort.
While I tend to be productive in other areas throughout the day, I remember seeing a video….I’m not sure who said it, I think Eben Pagan, but it said something to the effect:
What actually “makes you money” in your business is the thing that’s actually interacting with your customers. This could be web page content they see, or a shopping cart they use, or a video you made…..
… etcetera etcetera ….
I realized I’ve been slacking off in that department, so I dusted off the ‘ole camera and did a little content creation:
