Online Sex Industry!!

What to say about the online sex industry?Not something we talk about every day is it?
I think everybody knows these days sex is everywhere!It's used in advertising, it magazines and on the internet!
I think all people know about porn sites exist but I just cannot understand why men and women young or old would like to exploit themselves like that for any stranger to see.
The sex industry makes millions and it makes you wonder what strange people are sitting in front of their computer for hours on end paying to watch strangers "getting it on" I'm telling you, there's strange people in the world these days!
What I think is worst of all it sex trafficing websites, men(or we could call them sickos) purchase women to use them for sex, it's just disgusting and disgraceful and I don't know how someone could do such a thing.
Theres one good thing about sexual images being used in advertising though like who doesn't like seeing that aero add or the D and G adds for aftershave, I've never heard a girl complain when them adds come on!
Anyway thats the end of my rant about the online sex industry!

Search Engine Optimisation

So before last week I couldn't have even told you that Search Engine Optimisation existed but now that I know a little more than i knew before Colin will be happy to know! Basically it's about appearing number one in googles search results when someone types in a phrase or keywords to search for over the whole internet. I never knew that it was such a big deal to be number one but the more I think about the more I realise it is important especially for companies as most people who search the internet don't check any pages after the first page!
There's also the big deal of organic v's paid-for listings basically if you follow all the rules of SEO you have a pretty good chance of getting first or hopefully close enough to that but even before first you have the paid-for listings which companies pay for each time somebody clicks them they have they advantage of guaranteed of being at the top but they have more disadvantages for them as only 20% of people click these sponsor links there's also many other disadvantages as you could even have your opposition clicking the link to cost you lots of money although this is called click fraud and I honestly don't know who would have the time to do that kind of thing.

Random little blog!!

Got my tickets to x-factor, so excited about it even though the seats me and my friends got are pretty crap and chances are that we will be using binoculars if we even want to see the stage! Really wanted to go see Chris Brown but of course unlucky me didn't get tickets! The day before they were released me and my friends were like "Sure we can get them Friday, they won't be sold out that quick." then I get a phone call from one of my friends Thursday at like 11 o'clock telling me they were all gone, devastated wasn't the words.

No going out next weekend for me or the girls we are officially becoming pioneers, well for one weekend anyway! All any of us remember is they were handing out free jameson and coke in the famous luna and all of us at any stage of the night had a drink in each hand don't know why since I hate whiskey but sure when its free its rude to say no!

Hoping to go to London after x-mas as long as the parents buy me a ticket which hopefully they will!Can't wait to go over havn't been there in ages and can't wait to see my cousin Ruth feels like ages since shes left and missing her loads and all the wild nights out with her especially her going away party with us in Finolas!

Ruths leaving party

The weekends antics!!

Had a great weekend since my parents were gone to England for my aunts birthday only to be awoke by my phone ringing Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, it was my brother telling me the coffee shop was broken into in all fairness why would someone ever rob a coffee shop I don't know what they think were hiding in there so that was the great news I had to tell my parents when they walked in the door. It actually amazed me that robbers could go to such effort to break into a coffee shop they got on the roof, took slates of the roof and hammered through the ceiling, took a walk through the attic hammering through parts of the ceiling trying to decide where to jump down eventually deciding the mens toliet, all that effort to get away with like 20 euro if even because the alarm went off so they ran off aswel the hammer they used probably cost more than 20 euro and they left that behind! So I'd say the cost robbers lost money breaking in instead of gaining money, their loss!

X-factor results!

X factor
I'm actually so happy that Daniel left the x-factor Saturday night was in a friends house before a night out when the results show came on and as we were all a little tipsy we were screaming with happiness, was great! He didn't deserve to stay in the competition as long as he did it was a joke he was still there but he was getting the sympaty vote of everyone. Can't wait until next week I'd say Rachel or Ruth will go, hopefully! I still don't know who I want to win I'm still undecided but I think Diana and JLS have a pretty good chance. It's nice to see someone like Diana who's different from all the usual acts and JLS are by far the best band that have ever been on the x-factor of course they have the benefit of Marvin in the band as he is really good looking, so if the Rep. of Ireland could vote JLS would have my vote!

Christmas soon!!

Xmas tree I'm actually so excited!I'm worse than a child when it comes to this time of year me and some of my friends are the same the other day we let the children inside us out and we rented the new film "Fred Claus" and we got selection boxes, I know awful sad aren't we but it does cheer you up from this awful weather and from those sick days! I'm still not sure on what I want to get all I know so far is ghd's since my broke last month I've been dying without them so anything else I get is all suprises to me. i just love the whole idea of Christmas with all the family getting together but this year one of my brothers won't be here so thats one less person at home and thankfully one less person to buy for. I have very little money and alot to buy and I can't decide what to get anyone I just wish people would tell me what they want instead of saying they don't mind because I'll end up buying something awful and that they will most likely hate.

Virtual Communities

Virtual Communities


Bebo Facebook Myspace


At the minute bebo is becoming a bit annoying it's slightly, can't live with it, can't live without it. It's strange now thinking back to the times before bebo it's like, what did we ever do on the internet?? It's one of the first things you'll ask someone when you meet them and want to stay in touch you automatically find yourself saying "do you have bebo?" Wherever you go it's always on someones mind even on a night out people will take a photo and you'll be there saying "please don't put that up on bebo!". It's a great way to keep in touch with people you meet and with friends and family who are all over the world as the majority of people these days will have joined some sort of virtual community wheter it's Bebo,Facebook or Myspace and you'll meet some people who have joined all the virtual communities out there. It's hard enough for me trying to keep Bebo and Facebook I can't think of using any more with all the time it takes up.

Mid-term!!

I don't think the past week could have gone by any quicker bit of a joke if you ask me.
Started off with babysitting, not a good start with three screaming kids, then there was work which was just as exciting as babysitting if I'm honest but it all got better Friday night.
Friday started off fine with fireworks and drink with the family and then home to get ready and out with the girls. It was a really good night that's what I can remember was a really good night and it mostly consits of being at the bar, I learnt alot never ever drink practically a bottle of jagermeister when you have work the next morning at nine which goes on til six!!Saturday couldn't have went any slower at one point I thought the clock stopped but Friday night was all worth it thats a Halloween I won't be forgetting any time soon!
