Silver investments

Money is important, I think we can all agree on that. Perhaps, in an ideal world pecuniary matters would not count for as much as they do but there it is. I think it is a fact that most of us need to make a living in order to pay our way. That is just the way it is. Personally, I like the notion of pulling my weight and doing my best in order to try and make ends meet. I suppose it is that way for most people, all things considered.

Investing is another avenue open to those who are interested in improving their financial situation. And, needless to say, there is a huge number of investment opportunities available out there. It goes without saying that you can invest in just about anything. But how do you know which investments are more sensible than others. Obviously, you will want your investment to yield a healthy return, that is only natural.

Consider, for instance, investing in us silver coins if you are looking for opportunities. It is a great option for serious investors, let me tell you. Silver is a stable commodity that will always be a way of secure investing. The experts all agree, do not take my word for it.

Why not learn about bullion and silver coins and simply find out more. There is a world of information out there and you could learn a lot.

Learn about different bullion coins

and study up on how to go about investing in silver. Head on over to Monex and get all the info you need. It is a great site with some great stuff that you need to see for your self.

Mass matters

I was just attending Mass in the beautiful Saint Mary’s Cathedral here in Sydney. As always I was transfixed by the Eucharist. Of course, also as usual I was annoyed by the Asian tourists who wander into this stunning church and take pictures with their concomitant cameras as if they were in Disneyworld. I just find it so disrespectful, the mind boggles.

Feeling good

You could even say I'm feeling groovy. Had a good day at work and tomorrow is Friday again, thank Loki. Went for a lovely curry at my favourite food place in town. It is actually in the basement of the stunning Queen Victoria Building, a popular haunt whenever I am in the city centre. Lovely gubbly..

Life is good

Life is good. Oh yes dear diary. It is a fact of life, my life, at the moment. I am in love with a gorgeous woman and am feeling great. I couldn't ask for more, to be honest. It's almost sickening but I don't care. So there..

Medical provision

We are all fully aware that there are a wide variety of medicines for all manner of ailments and conditions. At some stage in our lives we will have had to use some type of medication or others. It is almost unavoidable. But nowadays there is also a thing called medical marijuana. In some places it is already available and people have begun using the compound for medical purposes.

Of course, there is also a great deal of misinformation about medical marijuana. It is not easy to find out the accurate information regarding this controversial and sensitive issue. Have a look at Medical Marijuana Colorado for a highly reliable information source that will inform you on all you need to know.

Weekend joy

I, dear readers, had another great weekend in the company of my good lady. We had a nice meal on Saturday and went for a walk in the woods on Sunday. A lazy, lazy Sunday morning was just what the doctor ordered, let me tell you and no mistake. It was pure joy to relax and unwind after the working week.

Top topped

The Indonesian authorities have claimed they have terminated terrorist mastermind Noorden Top at last. This time they really seemed to have got their man. Top had been responsible for many muslim-inspired atrocities, among which were the Bali bombings. I'm sure there will be other zealots to fill his shoes but it's good that the Indonesians apparently seem keen to fight Jihadism. Let's hope so anyway.

Medical products

In life, some things are more important than others. For instance, when you are ill you need to take care of your self. You may in that case have to purchase medical supplies. Now, Allegro Medical just happens to be one of the major and most highly advanced independently owned online retail outlets. This is guaranteed. They offer life improving products that are just the best..

Poetry project update

Well, the latest is: there is no latest news. My contact who seemed to want to enter into some kind of venture using my poetry is silent as the proverbial grave. I have tried to contact him but alas 'twas to no avail. So, it begs the question whether he was serious to begin with, all things considered. Oh well..

Poetry project

I have been negotiating with someone who is looking for content to add to a software application. He seemed interested in my poems so I sent off two files and came up with two titles. I think my poetry is good enough to warrant someone doing something with it. We will see what will happen.
It is nice to be working on a poetry project again for a change. I'm all for it!

Loved-up getaway

Now let me ask you honestly: Who does not relish the notion of taking his loved one away on a fantastic romantic vacation or weekend get away? Is there really anything that can beat packing up for a romantic trip and forgetting for once about work and everyday life? Love is carefree and deserves the appropriate attention. Treat your significant other well and celebrate your love. That’s the idea I think.

Well then, why not book a fabulous and romantic cancun vacation in one of the luxurious Karisma hotels right there on Mexico’s beautiful Riviera Maya. You should know that these wonderful hotels are located near the loveliest white sandy beaches. Here you will be treated to an outstanding service.

God's canvas

No art work could better God's canvas, the colours and brush strokes of Nature and Creation on the sky. It's just mind blowing how impressive Creation really is. That's what I think anyway. Beauty is enchanted, in my opinion. I stand by that..

Kokoda

Kokoda, that infamous name once again holds sadness for Australians. Nine Aussies were killed when an aircraft crashed in dense jungle in Papua New Guinea. The plane was on its way to Kokoda and the people on board were planning to walk the gruelling track made notorious by the fighting in WWWII when Aussie forces were up against the might of Imperial Japan. The crash site looked horrific. Memento Mori..

A great vacation

Let me just say right off the mark that, all things considered, I am a bit of a big fan of life in general. Of course, like anyone else I do have my off days as well, but in general I do enjoy my life as it is with all its ups and downs. So, there you have it. And yet I can say that some things make me smile more than others. For instance, a nice meal with a fine wine and some great company is one.

Also, I simply love going on vacation. There are few things so enjoyable as a great family vacation spent somewhere truly spectacular. Check out the white sand beaches of Riviera Maya for a really wonderful vacation. There is nowhere quite like it.

Life and such

Life is pretty darn good at the mo. I have to admit that all in all I am pretty happy right now. I have some gainful employment, a girlfriend, friends and family and to top it all off my doctor said that my cholesterol levels are spot on. So, I'm going to make the most of it and just enjoy myself for a while. As Paul McCartney said: What's the use in worrying? And I agree with him there. So, there.

Ashes

On Thursday the third test of the Ashes series will commence. Can't wait. It's strange but I find listening to the commentary in the background very soothing and comforting. I don't really understand the game but it fascinates me that both Aussies and the English are so keen on the Ashes. It really is quite something. And you have to admire a game where the athletes stop for lunch and drinks and what not. Where's Warne when you need him?

Putting together a great rare coin collection

Collecting can be great fun. Many happy hours can be spent collecting that rare commodity that you happen to be interested in. It can be a veritable passion that consumes the collector to some great extent. But, have you considered the notable fact that a collection can also provide one with a very valuable investment option?

For instance, if you are thinking of building up a rare coincollection then you should definitely look into using the outstanding services of Monaco Rare Coins. Have a look at their website to see the many ways in which they can help you build up a fabulous rare coin portfolio.

The city

I love Sydney. I know I have said it before and I will say it again. This is a stunning city where life is pretty darn good. I've moved around a bit in my life but I am starting to feel that this is the place where I want to put down roots and settle down. Sydney, I love thee..

The can

Whatever you, make you you Don't Lick the Can Man..., okay?

My beautiful city

A picture of my beloved Sydney Harbour, taken on an overcast sort of day. I have come to love this city, the city of my birth and the one that I am slowly rediscovering. As world cities go this one is a stunner, to say the least.

Poetry or prose

I'm currently working on a novel and so far it is going quite well. I still look back fondly to my poetry writing days as well but I want to forge ahead with this big prose project. What I would really like is to develop a prose style that is quite poetical in its tone and feel. Some of my favourite novelists are able to pen a sentence that just flows on in an eminently aesthetic manner. I'll just keep working on it and see if I can develop my 'voice'..

Sound investing

In these uncertain financial times with all of their concomitant worries and problems it is good to know that there are still ways of investing in secure commodities. One of these sound investment prospects remains gold. Whether it is gold bullion or gold coins you would like to consider investing in, Monaco Rare Coin can help you out.

Gold is one of the most secure ways to invest your hard earned money. After all, are we not all looking for a bit of financial security these days? I know that I for one certainly am. You simply cannot go wrong when you invest in gold assets, such as gold coins or bullion.

Show

Last night I watched Letterman and he had Howard Stern on. He was quite entertaining and affable and made for a good guest. Certainly better than the previous show when famous airhead Paris Hilton was the main guest. That was just annoying and slightly embarrassing. And yet I gather that some men find her attractive. Quite honestly, she repulses me somewhat.

Pub

Spent a great night down the pub with some good friends of mine. It was someone’s birthday and this someone also introduced her new fellow to us. A nice bloke who seemed to cope well with all the attention lavished on him as the proverbial newcomer. A fun and raucous night followed and a great time was held by all. So there.

Fabulous jewelry

Is there anything in this world of ours that denotes luxury and a sense of well being quite like a stunning piece of jewelry? I doubt it. For ladies it is just a wonderful accessory to be able to add a thing of beauty to their own natural splendour. For we men it is a joy to surprise the woman in our life with a present in the shape of a fabulous necklace or ring or pair of ear rings. That moment when that precious little box is opened and the look of awe and joy on a lady’s face are just invaluable.

Check out the fantastic fashion jewelry of Holsted Jewelers for a great range of superb jewelry.

Sleep

After years of not being able to sleep in any more I am now finding I can quite easily have a bit of a lie-in. My apartment tends to be nice and quiet and a veritable haven of peace and tranquility. I feel okay here and perhaps that, in turn, enables me to really unwind and relax for a change. Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Call me old fashioned.

Poetry, that whimsical

I'm about to give one of my poetry books to a good friend of mine. I hope she'll appreciate it. You can never really tell when you give away one of your own books. Do they really like the gesture or do they think you're up your self and imposing your ramblings on them, abusing their friendship in some way or to some extent. We'll see.

A helping hand

Sometimes in life we can all use a helping hand to be honest. Sometimes we just need someone or something to help us along and improve our situation if possible. For instance, if you are suffering from some ailment or disease you will reach out for whatever can bring you relief or sustenance.

At AllegroMedical.com you are able to choose from a truly huge range of life enhancing products to help you, whatever situation you may find yourself in at any stage. If you happen to be looking for exercise equipment or dietary supplements then AllegroMedical.com is the place to look.

But also if you need to get adult diapers or a heart rate monitor then equally this site can help you out.

Bus joy

I got back quite late from town last night on the bus and found that in contrast to some other places I have lived in the past, the experience was a safe one and there seemed nothing to worry about in the way of personal security. There were a few people waiting at the bus stop, the bus showed up dead on time, the driver was courteous and friendly and fifteen minutes later I was back home. Great stuff, really.

Ideas

I am working on a novel. And last night, in the midst of some De Profundis inner turmoil, I developed some ideas that may take the story in the direction that it needs to go. I love that feeling of knowing what to write next, that feeling that you never want to stop writing and just want to keep the thing going for ever. It's really a most wonderful feeling.

A great online MBA program

For a start, I think that we can all agree that few things in life are as rewarding as the sense of a genuine achievement. And let me state that achievements come in all shapes and sizes. But personally I feel that it is a great feeling to achieve a goal in life through hard work or some other kind of dedicated effort. We can include in this of course a course of education that leads to an invaluable qualification.

For instance you may want to look at the excellent school mba at Capella University. This online MBA program from Capella University is an excellent option for those who wish to maximise their talents in a rewarding course of study.

Capella University always takes great care to mix traditional business courses with a series of professional effectiveness MBA courses that just happen to have been designed to deliver the knowledge and skills that can really take you further. All the way to the top!

My books

I have just taken another interest in my published books. I had sort of left of trying to promote them as I did not seem to be getting very far. And, of course, I will soon be working on the production of my latest slim volume of poems in which I try to reflect some of my impressions of my new life in Sydney. Que sera, sera.

Rain and then some

It just stopped raining. It was another one of those torrential downpours that I have become familiar with living here in Sydney. I love seeing the rain pour down in gulping streams across the windows. Knowing that it is a good thing when it rains in this country is a good thing too, I suppose. Let’s hear it for the weather gods.

Gold coins

There are obviously many people out there who have hobbies and enjoy spending their valuable free time on them. Other people have passions they cannot do without. These leisurely pastimes or spare time pursuits can be whatever you like. Some like collecting postal stamps, some go for long hikes in the country, yet others love reading and writing and so on and so forth.

But a hobby or personal interest can sometimes be quite lucrative as well. For instance, if you are into buying and selling gold coins you could really be on to something good. Experts in rare coins such as for example Monaco can present you opportunities that are available for you on the rare coin market right now. This could be well worth looking into and it may well be very profitable as well.

Music

Tomorrow, I will be joining a few friends at the nearby Birchgrove Acoustic music festival. Hopefully, the weather gods will be on our side. It happens to be held in a really nice little park by the harbour foreshore and the views are truly amazing. I’m looking forward to spending some time with my mates and enjoying the music offerings.

Wanderlust

I'm living in a huge country and I can't wait to get out of the city and go travelling and seeing some of the wonderful places. I'd love to go up to the Top End and visit the Kakadu National Park. And, of course, I'd like to go back to the far north of Queensland as well. And, the Pacific islands keep calling me as well. A hopeless romantic I'm not impervious to the island idyll idea. Call me old fashioned. Go on!

Options trading

Money is on most people’s mind these days what with the news constantly telling us how bad the economic outlook is and how it is going to take a while to get out of the much publicised global down turn. Of course, it does not quite have to be all that bad. In fact it is quite often possible to earn good money with for instance investments or stock options trading even when the wider economy is not doing particularly well.

Have a look at the website for PowerOptions where you will find a veritable treasure trove of information on stock options and trading. I have recently started trading in stock options and so far it is going rather well.

It is quite interesting to keep track of my earnings and I have found lots of useful information on PowerOptions. Check it out.

Ostara

As so we face Easter and the Resurrection of our Saviour. Although, strictly speaking I am not practising this time of year does mean a lot to me. Somehow it makes more of an impact than Christmas. I think I’ll try to go to Church at some point over the weekend but knowing me that may very well not happen after all either.

Bar food

Went for a meal last night in a local pub. I had the steak special, surprise, surprise, and my dinner companion opted for the bangers and mash. Behind the bar were the two nice girls and a new star in town, a young Scottish bloke with a winning smile who seemed to be highly appreciated by the two girls. It was a fun night but unfortunately there was no live music yesterday evening. Oh well..

A dream vacation

Is there anyting better than going somewhere wonderfully romantic for your vacation? Usually, you will want any vacation to be a wonderful one but more importantly now you can stay in a truly fabulous Adults Only Hotelwhich makes your vacation of a lifetime just right, I think you will agree. There are many destinations to choose from when considering where to go for your vacation.

You should certainly check out the white sand beaches of Riviera Maya. You see, the word Karisma comes from the Greek and means ‘divine favour’. Karisma hotels is a group of divinely favoured properties located on stunning white sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya. This is the ultimate destination for a gloriously romantic vacation. This is a silver style vacation option that is certain to impress. Especially, since there is a wonderful emphasis on gourmet-style food choices. Go for it!

Books

Reading. Now I'm living the life of a single man again I have started to do more reading and I have to say I am really enjoying it. There's nothing quite like settling down to read for a few hours on end in a book you just know you are going to enjoy. What a pleasure for the senses. It engages the whole spectrum of human emotions and triggers thoughts that you would not have had otherwise. I've just put up a few book shelves and there is extra capacity, enabling me to buy some more volumes. Hooray!

Sports overkill

As if there wasn't enough sports on Aussie television we will have a 24-hour free-to-air sports channel tomorrow. All the sports you can stomach and then some more. And just when you get enough of all the sports, you get some more sports. Oh well..as long as they include some proper football, I don't mind.

Beauty schools in Michigan

Of course, it is evident that education is an important issue these days and for young people looking for a college or other type of training it is not always easy to find the right path that is suitable for their situation. There are all sorts of people and not every kind of training or schooling will be the right choice. Of course, there is a multitude of schools and colleges to choose from and that in itself, that huge choice of options, is not always a great help.

I want to let you know about these michigan cosmetology schools that I have heard about. They are Regency beauty schools and they just happen to be the fastest growing beauty school in the land. They have expanded from a mere two Minnesota schools in 2002 to nearly thirty campuses in a number of states and it looks like they will keep growing in the future, that much seems certain.

Poem to a friend

I sent a poem I had written to a friend in the UK. The poem was about my feelings about Bristol and leaving that part of my life behind. It's emotional and whimsical and aims to evoke the 'feel' of Bristol, that funny old town in England. I got some good feedback from her and that means something to me as she is quite a culture-vulture as the French say..

Funny stuff

There are lots of British comedians who appear here in Australia. Before long I am hoping to catch a few of them doing their stand-up. I had meant to see Dylan Moran but I have other engagements that weekend, unfortunately. There is still Ross Noble in June and I am hoping to get someone to go with me. I have seen Mr Noble in Bristol and he was very, very good. Utterly entertaining in his off-beat way.

Music

I've got all my CDs again after the delivery of my things from England earlier this week. It's great to be able to play my own music again. I have to use the DVD player and telly but will get a sound system soon enough. I played Secrets of the Beehive by David Sylvian this morning and really enjoyed it all over again. Lovely music on a lovely morning; that's what it was..

Salted

Tears stain short-lived joy
Curtains drawn reveal a void
Show must roll on, ineffably
Worlds and words escape
Only momentarily
Dreams re-invent themselves
Before they take their leave
Forever.

Beeb wireless

I’m just now listening to the radio. I’m listening to BBC’s Radio Five Live on the internet. I used to enjoy listening to this station when I lived in England. Somehow, the station seemed more balanced and less politically correct than some other BBC programmes. And, there was always something to laugh about as well. The British sense of humour, you can’t beat it, really.

Sharky

There have been quite a few shark attack reports in the news recently. Surprisingly, a lot of these shark attacks have taken place in the harbour, which apparently is rather unusual. It seems that the reason why there are more sharks around is that the waters in the harbour are much cleaner. So there are now more fish and that in turn attracts more sharks. I’m staying on terra firma for a while.

Precious metals

Most people have, at some stage or other, dreamed of what it would be like to be truly wealthy. One of the images that denote real luxury and riches has to be the sight of those amazing gold items that are so impressive to just look at such as jewellery and art objects. With american silver eagle you can invest in gold bars, gold bullion, coins, silver, platinum and palladium and other products. And, as everyone well knows, investing in gold is generally one of the safest options that will keep their worth in years to come. You can’t really go wrong with gold, that goes without saying.

Generally, it is always a good idea to keep your self informed of the current gold price. Purchasing gold has been recognized for ages and ages as one of the most reliable ways to preserve one’s wealth and buying power. And of course gold bullion is a unique investment. From time immemorial to more recent times, humankind has had an enduring affinity with gold bullion that has truly stood the test of time. In all ages and across the world, people have been fascinated with the beauty and the magic of gold. It makes sense, after all.

Big ships

I missed the Queen Mary II docking in Sydney Harbour. Only days previously I had marvelled with a sense of awe at the sight of the enormous Queen Victoria ocean liner lying tied up at Circular Quay. What a great ship. The sheer size is so impressive. I’ve always liked travelling by ship. It’s just so elegant to glide your way to where you want to go..

The working week

The working week is, once again, over and done with. An exciting week at my new job, I will spare you the details but it has been good and uplifting. I have discovered that a challenge can, after all, be a very good thing all things considered. Of course, once I had knocked off it was straight down to the pub for a schooner. Can you blame me?

Wedding shop

Let’s be honest: who doesn’t get a bit soft at the thought of tying the knot. Is there anything more evocative or romantic that those few words? I don’t think so. I know that I for one really enjoyed my wedding day and that is a man saying this. The day was a wonderful one and I felt really really in love and over the moon at the prospect of spending my married life with just this very girl who meant the world to me.

If you happen to be looking for wedding gifts or bridesmaid gifts then you should definitely check out The Knot Wedding Shop where you will find everything you need and more besides. Have a look for your self!

Funny is funny

Funny stuff is funny stuff. I like the Aussie sense of humour. It is witty and at the same time very robust and down to earth. It has that cheekiness I like in British humour but has added a few direct punches for good measure. Some of the Aussie telly adverts are really funny. Good stuff!

Sport mad

Sport mad. The Aussies seem to be crazy about sports. Any sport, it seems. During the week it is not so bad but sometimes on the weekend all you see on each and every channel on telly is sport. Golf, cricket, rugby, tennis, indoor netball for crying out loud. I suppose it’s just a case of that’s the way it is. Ah well. I think I’ll find a good book to read.

New York restaurant info

I like living in a big city. I love having the amenities on my door step and always being able to do something fun or to go somewhere fun for a night out or some other type of relaxation. Of course, you need to get the right information on where to trip the light fantastic or where to go for that great spectacular meal out with a loved one.

The Village Voice is a great read with insightful articles on any aspect of New York life but there is more. If you are looking for a great New York Restaurants check out the restaurant section of the Village Voice.

Peter Pan

Peter Pan, that whimsical poetic figure in Kensington Gardens. I had a look around the fabulous statue in the park shortly before I left England. It was a special moment and one that I shan't forget. Ever. It was a magical sort of thing, not easily explained. The picture will have to suffice.
