I’ve long forgotten what it’s like to have a long weekend.  For the entrepreneur who calls the spare bedroom the office, days and nights and weekdays and weekends often blur.  This is particularly true of those of us who are internet marketers and earn our incomes online. Last weekend, Easter, I decided that  the 9 – 5 may have a point: take some time off.  And so I did.  Four glorious days of it.

You know what was so good about it?  Yes, spending time with family and friends, but the truly surprising part was that it was really invigorating to get back on the computer and get moving again.  I got a surprising amount covered.  The brain seems to think faster and I think you waste less time, because, well there is so much to make up for.  I think I’ll do that more often.

I was intrigued that one of my posts this week was not only indexed , but actually got a Google Broad position of 98 and Phrase position of 48 – OVERNIGHT! I’ve never had anything like that happen.  The post in question is This Too Shall Pass.  I think it’s the video which I embedded into the post .  Now I don’t think that any video would garner that kind of attention, but this one is really tops.  You just gotta watch it.

This Too Shall Pass – 09/04/10
This was my first attempt at embedding a You Tube video.  I think I missed a step or something as after you click on the video it asks you to click again … but the video is so hilarious.  You really do have to watch it.  I then drew some parallels from the video to blogging.

The gloves are off.  Two of my fave bloggers Dave and Pat  seem to be duking it out in the blogosphere  or so their posts seem to suggest.  They’re both sharp dudes though and even though the titles  seem to be at polar opposites,  there is some common ground there.  Definitely a must read.

Dave Doolin – “Dumb it down” they say… No! I say, “Smarten it up!”
