So I actually really liked writing the article the other day so I thought I would write another one. Today I got up and was really looking forwarding to pwning some noobs on Bad Company but unfortunately our electricity is out. So hungover, no shower and its pissing it down. Before I go on, something I saw the other day really bugged me, a few months back a friend said I should invest in .me domains. So I did and brought two Oliver.me and Poker4.me. A few months after that I sold it for a couple of hundred. I read the other day about a site called www.About.me (btw that’s Montenegro). It’s already got 400,000 b3ta users and I’m thinking I should have kept that name now.

Anyway moving on, everyone knows that when someone tells you not to do something you end up doing it anyway. I’ve done a lot of stupid shit that I know its bad but I had to try it anyway. Nothing crazy but pretty bad. My first ever taste of whiskey and cigarette was with my mother, (will quit). She said if you do it,  it should be with her first. I think she was trying to work out if I was already smoking at school, I was 15 years old. I’m not saying it’s right but there are some really good lessons I’ve learned. It’s because the way they are told. I’ll give you some examples. When I was very young my father bought me and my brother some action figures and we were throwing them up the side of a cliff face near the beach. My Dad took out a few pounds from his pocket and did the same. After a few throws me and my brother turned round and asked “What are you doing?” He explained that we were throwing away money. You can say how is a kid supposed to understand that, we must have been about 5 to 8 years old.  However I still remember it. Actually that reminds me of another story where the next door neighbour Colin gave me and my brother five pounds each. My Dad said you can have half now and half later, then ripped the note in half. I was about 6 and it made me cry. Actually I don’t think there was a lesson there but it still makes me laugh. My brother tells me about the time Dad told him to clean up his room. Of course he didn’t, so that night when he ran to bed he jumped up and landed on a Atari system, my Dad had put all his toys in his bed LMAO. I’m pretty sure he cleaned his room after that. I was nineteen or twenty and I didn’t take my clothes off the line, so when I went to bed that night I put my head on my pillow and hit something hard. It was clothes pegs.

It’s not just my father that teaches like that, I have a very good friend called Simon. He’s a stone cold ninja and he’s created some amazing websites and I always buy my domains through him. In the past I have asked him, how do I code the website to look like this, his reply is always the same; “You know”. Come on fuckhead, just tell me it’s easier. Same reply. My boss has been doing something similar recently and it had me thinking about this.

If you want to teach someone, I think this is the best way to do it because they will remember.
