Need money? I've got your answer.

Whenever you find yourself short on money, don't go out and get a loan, don't ask for money from relatives or friends, don't sell your body, don't do any of the normal things you'd think of to raise a bit more money. What you need to do is very simple. You need to get yourself a nice bottle of wine or spirits, whichever you can afford, and have a very relaxed evening. You should drink the stuff, then get on to Youtube and watch self-improvement videos. Tony Robbins, The Secret, and all those inspirational people. Their videos will definitely have an effect on you. You will almost instantly begin to LOATHE these charlatans. Your mental processes will be slightly enhanced by the alcohol, and so you'll be able pick apart every little thing that these self-help speakers throw out onto their glossy eyed audiences. You'll begin to feel immense anger because of the fact that these people are rich beyond belief, even though they don' say anything that means anything. The alcohol will now be acting strongly on you, you'll become adventurous and daring. You'll begin to devise a business plan to go toe-to-toe with self-help gurus. This business will skyrocket as soon you begin to meet more and more people who were also short on money and turned to self-help gurus. This business will rival Microsoft for annual profit eventually, and Bill Gates will turn to YOU for self-help advice. But you'll say "No. Self-help is a lie and a scam, that's what my whole company is based on, Bill".

Anyway, I'm short of money at this present time. I've gone out and bought the cheapest bottle of Vodka I could find. I've just got home and I've booted up the old Youtube machine in front of me right now, and I'm about to watch an incredibly long playlist of self-help videos!

Wish me luck, if anything I've written above makes any sense at all, it means I'll be rich, rich, rich in a few short years.

Name of my upcoming company? Well, how about "Tony Robbins Can Piss Off Pty Ltd".

Bye bye.

The 2014 World Cup for Football, or soccer, if you prefer.

I'll say this straight up front, I'm betting quite a large amount of money on Brazil to win the 2014 World Cup. My reasons, I hear you ask?

Well, first of all, Brazil will be in their own country with their own fans. Secondly, they have the best centre-back pairing in the world(Thiago Silva and David Luiz, or Dante). Brazil has never really been known for its outstanding defense, but Thiago Silva is the captain, and possibly the best defender on Earth. Thirdly, the rest of the Brazilian team is full of superstars. Oscar, Neymar, Pedro and Hulk to name but four. And fourthly, they play better than any other team in the world at the present time. They beat the reigning World Cup winners, Spain, in the Confederations Cup earlier this year. Spain was untouchable during the last World Cup, and Brazil beat them comfortably in the Confed's Cup.

So, who else has a chance at next year's World Cup? Well, the Belgian team looks very, very promising. They have a pretty dismal record in all World Cup competitions, but now, their team is filled with superstars like Benteke, Vertonghen, Mirallas, Dembele and a few others with silly names like that.

England? Well, England have ALWAYS had a very experienced and highly skilled team, but for various reasons, they've not been able to win a World Cup since 1966! They will most likely not win, but it'll be incredibly dramatic and fun to watch the England team next year. Even more fun will be watching the semi-deluded English public follow their team to the bitter end.

Spain? I don't really fancy the Spanish team to do very well. I'm a bit biased because I don't particularly like the way the Spanish team plays football. They play very effectively, but their style doesn't interest me as much as the fast counter-attacking, long passing style of play. Spain will probably do quite well, maybe even reach the semi-finals, but I wouldn't count on them winning.



Germany? I think Germany will do very, very well. I'd expect them to make it to the semi-finals, at least. They have always been a powerhouse in world football, and their current team looks like of their best ever. Cold, clinical and efficient is the German way, and their football team exemplifies this in its barest essence. Germany will do well in next year's World Cup, as they always do!






Italy? I've always thoroughly enjoyed the way the Italian team plays. They are ROCK SOLID in defense, and they counter-attack with blinding speed and skill. But, their current team has undergone immense changes. They no longer play in the "Catennacio" style. Catennacio means door bolt. The catennacio style emphasized a near impenetrable defense, and then would rely on skillful players to score the goals. One goal would be enough in the catennacio style, because the defense would simply not allow opponent goals to be scored. Anyway, Italy no longer plays with this very unique, they now play in a more midfield orientated style. Midfield domination is the key part of the current Italian team's style. And luckily, they have several of the world's best midfield players. So, Italy should do well in the World Cup, and I hope they do, because I really like the way they play.

There you have it. If you have any thoughts on other teams that might stand a good chance in the 2014 World Cup, let me know in the comments.

Cheers,

Andrew.

    

 

Does anyone know what Grand Theft Auto V is like?

Is anyone out there a game tester, or has had access to the game "Grand Theft Auto 5"? If you have played the game, can you please leave a comment regarding your thoughts. Is the game as good as everyone thinks it will be, is it enjoyable to play, does the huge size of the map have any disadvantages? Things like that.
Even write a list of pros and cons if you want to.

Thank you,

Andrew
