MattG.Net: Internet Marketing Meets Life…

This weekend should be the 5th annual Hay-on-Wye Festival of the literature and arts “piss-up” weekend for me, Jumbo, Col, Tat and Hugh, but we’re not gonna be there.

It’s a shame but life moves on, we’re all off doing other things and somehow it’s just not where we’re at this year, maybe we’ll come back to it next year or some time in the future, but for now, the tradition we started back in 2003 has faltered.

I know that the friends I have shared this “qaulity” (drunken & relaxed) time with for the last few years are still great friends and we’ll do it again, but I also know that we don’t HAVE to do the weekend just because it was becoming a bit of a tradition.

• lol! just realised that even tho I’m having “down time” relaxing with my sis, we’re still throwing around a HUGE viral marketing idea! #
• best part is my sis isn’t even vaguely in to marketing, horses are her thing, but she’s always in a bubble, and it’s growing.. #

ok, so I admit, I’ve been getting lazy with blog posts again…

I blame it on http://twitter.com/mattgarrett

it’s so easy to just twitter during the day as i’m doing stuff that I kinda feel like i don’t need to post anything here as I know that the “tweets” will get automatically posted here, but it’s still not the same as doing a “proper” blog post.

So what am I up to at the moment?

lol!

since moving to the new place in Leckhampton, Cheltenham, I’ve been kicking back and remembering what it’s like to have a life again, so now I’ve got a huge backlog of work to catch up on, which I’m slowly getting through, but tonight was another night off as my big sis, Tag, turned up so we had to go out so she could see my new local and have a burger.

• Anyone else ever been “stiffed” on a “bonus offer”? http://mattgarrett.com/buying-the-bonus/ #
• Having to twitter “manually”, Twhirl.org won’t login to my account. Sounds like I’m not the only one having problems with twitter today tho! #
• Might actually get some work done today, it’s back to dreary wet weather, so no sunshine to distract me, time to focus and catch up. #
• good post on the importance of having “downtime” - http://tinyurl.com/5d7bfl #

• ooh, tempted to not do a follow up post to that last one just to keep you in suspense… @ me if you want to know more… ;p #
• @chrisknight not been to the gym in 18 months plus, but second trip out on the bike tonight and I managed to make it to the top of the hill. #
• @chrisknight being fit is not just physical, it’s partly a state of mind. what you think you are capable of, you are, and vice versa #
