<p><em>Check <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/smallbusinessmarketing.htm">small business marketing</a> strategies here or email: kurbpromo@gmail.com</em></p>
<p>1: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/webdesign.htm">WEB DESIGN</a> + DEVELOPMENT: Most small businesses websites don’t succeed because it doesn’t provide a compelling experience for consumers who visit their site. You can’t afford to see your website as a static platform. It must develop at least every month. Continued commitment to developing website design and content that more effectively express your brand as well as help your customers to get the information they need to buy from you means they are confident to make purchases, and sales happen. If your website</p>
<p>2: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/ppcadwords.htm">PPC MANAGEMENT</a> / ADWORDS: Pay per click advertising on Google and other content networks is the fastest and most powerfully qualified option for advertising spending in 2009. With as little as $20 p/week you can begin highly measured and precisely targeted campaigns with us on Google Adwords. Adwords is great for any service business or business offering high value products and is even more effective when targeting genders, age groups and cities/regions. Even amateurs can return positive ROI advertsing on Google through Adwords but experience in using the PPC can lead to radically enhanced results.</p>
<p>3: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/blogpromotion.htm">BLOG PROMOTION</a>: Blogging is still a top strategy for small business marketing as long as it doesn’t interfere with normal operations. A well maintained blog developed over months has so many advantages in reinforcing your whole online marketing effort from SEO, customer service, website development, the work put in to build a lively and dynamic blog will never be wasted. We provide blog set up, blog design, blog promotion and can even create content and run your blog for you.</p>
<p>4: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/videomarketing.htm">ONLINE VIDEO</a>: Online video is yet to flex it’s muscles as the new power in online marketing. Buyers seek engagement, trust and authority with products, service providers and brands. They seek stories that give commodities and their brands value and credibility and video is the most powerful way to engage people and quickly create trust, authority as well as impact. Businesses using videos will have a much greater opportunity to appeal to visitors, and more importantly online video is only going to get bigger and continue to steal more influence from traditional TV.</p>
<p>5: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/seo_service_nz.htm">SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION AND MARKETING</a>: Search engine marketing is still the most powerful marketing technique accessible to entrepreneurs on small budgets, but precisely for this reason that SEO finds itself at #5 on this list. SEO is competitive. SEO is a challenge for new websites. Ranking highly in Google for your favoured keyword search terms is better than any advertising and would give you unmatched access to your market. But the results of SEO work can vary. A Successful SEO campaign takes research, it requires a lot of tedious tasks, and that of course costs. I will underline how powerfully effective our SEO can be but you must have the patience and commitment for it if you are in a competitive niche.</p>
<p>6: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/internetmarketing.htm">EMAIL MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING</a>: Maintaining relationsips with a client database through email marketing is still one of the most powerful ways to generate dependable recurring revenue. We provide professional email management solutions for all our clients, but those who are interested in email marketing should know you will have to build your contacts first through other online marketing efforts, most often a blog, and then maintain your mail out, which is going to need content. Once you can graduate to greater levels of automated email marketing, you can implement powerful systems to create wealth with minimum maintenance.</p>
<p>7: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/socialmediamarketing.htm">SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING</a>: Anyone who tells you they are a social media expert had better be ready to back that up with proof. Social Media is not a strategy for ROI. The aim of social media is to build meaningful relationships with engaged social media users who have the power to build a powerful, authoritative and authentic word of mouth. Just like blogs, building a strong social media presence has many benefits for small businesses, but must remain practical in terms of the bottom line.</p>
<p>8: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/freelancewriter.htm">Article Marketing</a>: Article Marketing leverages written content for exposure that can be syndicated far and wide to provide exposure to click through traffic as well as considerable SEO benefits. Article syndication as well as freelance article creation is offered as part of our general online marketing strategies. If you don’t have time to build your web presence, it’s better we create monthly content for you then having no new content at all.</p>
<p>9:<a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/internetmarketing.htm">Viral Marketing</a>: More powerful than spreading ideas is building an idea that spreads itself. Whether a video or other media, the essntial concept is the power of an idea to proliferate by way of online sharing. The success of a Viral Marketing campaign is never assured and taking risks to put forward powerful branding messages or leverage powerful value propositions that engage so deeply that it spreads online or through word of mouth is a longshot but always has the potential to be outrageously successful with a bit of character and flair.</p>
<p>10: <a href="http://www.kurb.co.nz/internetmarketing.htm">Community building</a>: Again building a community around your brand makes long term commitment and personal contribution unavoidable. You can’t just create community based loyalty to a brand overnight. Certainly, strategies to nurture your community and provide functionality by way of a forum or other platforms to encourage different kinds of interaction and user driven content creation around your brand can be provided easily and inexpensively, but early on there will need to be a dedicated effort to inject activity into the community space. This can be more time consuming and long range than many small businesses are prepared for.</p>

AFTERNOONS ON 027 684 8250</p>
<p>Hi, this is Matt from Kurb Promotions in Auckland, New Zealand and I&#8217;ve been growing my small business working with artists, talent and entertainment industry businesses around the world for 18 months using a combination of technology and experience in internet marketing to target and engage new audiences. Online marketing is changing so quickly and our experience could easily put you ahead of the pack in reaching new online customers.</p>
<p>Did you know there are small business entrepreneurs just like me generating sales leads for next to nothing every day by using new online media and cutting edge internet promotion strategies? More poeple are online every day and more people are searching online for the products and services they need.</p>
<p>I hope you&#8217;ve heard of the revolution going on in marketing right now. You&#8217;ve heard of Myspace, Facebook, Blogging, maybe you&#8217;ve looked into search enginge optimisation or pay per click advertsing. These are two of the most superior marketing techniques available to entrepreneurs today.</p>
<p>But blogging, social networking, video and new applications and software tools online are making it easier to be found by people searching for what you provide and connect with customers online in this way. It&#8217;s called Web 2.0 and what it means is that small businesses, freelancers, are connecting with audiences online in a way that&#8217;s never been possble.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been 18 months since I seriously began using online marketing techiniques to market my businesses and I am generating just short of 6 figures in annual profit.</p>
<p>MY MARKETING BUDGET IS ABOUT $100 P/month</p>
<p>I&#8217;VE NEVER HAD ANY PAID LISTING IN ANY PUBLICATION INCLUDING THE YELLOW PAGES.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s so much opportunity right now for business to connect with customers online, especially in New Zealand.</p>
<p>Services our packages cover (please follow links to read more):</p>
<p>Social Networking promotion and branding: Social Networking sites such as Myspace, Bebo and Facebook are a goldmine of branding and promotional opportunities &#8211; creative ideas, design and presentation coupled with our uniquely effective and highly targeted marketing techniques help to establish your brand on this essential new platform. Lets talk about how we can use this new media to create visibility, access and familiarity for your project.</p>
<p>Search optimization and marketing: Google&#8217;s influence as the world&#8217;s leading search engine is underlined in New Zealand &#8211; a country with the world&#8217;s second largest internet saturation &#8211; where over 90% of the 87% of New Zealnaders with regular internet access rely on it for everyday searches. Google.co.nz and google.com are the two most frequented sites by new zealanders &#8211; underlining just how important it is to employ every tactic in order to manipulate this tool to favour returning your result over your competition.</p>
<p>Web design, development, maintenance and promotion: For those businesses who do not have a website we provide a full and completely affordable range of options for implementing and regularly updating your website and getting it live.</p>
<p>Video and content marketing: The new frontier of online promotion is the power of cheap video marketing through youtube and many other video sites that when coupled with social networking and basic viral marketing techniques can be incredibly cost effective marketing and branding exercises. This also covers autometed distribution and promotion of video, audio and written content through blogs, podcasts and other content providers</p>

<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Here’s a pretty long but still real simple and useful article on search engine optimisation.</p>
<p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The thing about SEO work is it doesn’t happen straight away it often takes MONTHS to see the tiniest changes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">But this is the thing about music promotion. We all know the music industry is heading online. And I can tell you that for the foreseeable future that searches drive online information and basically as boring and un rock’n roll as this stuff is, it’s SO VITAL in the long term!!!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Luckily for musicians search engine optimisation is just one of many skills I make available on our digital coaching packages for artists as well as small business – check it out more here:</span></p>

<p></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Let’s face it. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a complicated subject—and not only is it complicated, but the professionals don’t even agree about what works best. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">On the other hand, it’s become pretty obvious that SEO is no longer something businesses can ignore. Especially small businesses. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Where does SEO fit in with small businesses, home businesses, and freelancers? How can a small business owner make sense of the many parts? Is SEO practical or effective for small business? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">These are all questions I’ve been asked repeatedly by clients, and I’m pretty sure they are questions that are on the minds of many business owners out there. With that as my motive, I’ve created this article to explain everything a business owner should (and shouldn’t) know about SEO. </span></p>
<h2 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">What is SEO and Why You Should Care</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Search Engine Optimization is about getting more traffic by improving your rank in organic search. By organic search, I mean free search. So at it’s root, SEO is about getting free long-term exposure for your business. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Now there is an important distinction to make regarding types of SEO. There are generally considered two types of SEO, white-hat and black-hat, and they vary based on their primary goal. White-hat SEO is about making your site easy for Google to read, creating valuable content with relevant keywords, and building links in an honest fashion (more on these later). Black-hat SEO is pretty much about tricking Google into ranking higher, and doing anything dishonest to influence your search positions. There are several blurry areas, but for the purposes of this article I’m going to stay firmly within white-hat territory. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Now that we have that finished, let’s move on to the interesting parts. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Why you should care about SEO</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The internet is only growing, and people are spending more and more time immersed in its digital waters. At the very center of this trend are search engines—they are the primary way of finding or being found on the internet. SEO is about getting you ranked well and helping you profit from search engines. </span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">SEO brings traffic. As in, people looking at your business.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">SEO increases visibility, so your business can be found.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">If you set yourself up correctly you can benefit for years.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">SEO helps manage your company’s reputation online.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">SEO is a necessary step to marketing your business online.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">If you want to expand your business onto the internet, there really isn’t another choice but to understand and implement good SEO practices. Without them, chances are you won’t get very far online. </span></p>
<h2 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">Code, URLs, and Crawlability</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The first step in optimizing your site for search engines lies with making the code and URLs of your website “crawlable”. Just as a quick warning, these are things you should know about, but you should probably have your web guru implement them. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The code</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Basically, in order for you to rank and get traffic from Google or other search engines, they have to be able to read your website. The key point is that search engines can only read text. This means all of your images should have a textual description, you should have a lot of textual content, and you shouldn’t have an entirely flash or javascript website. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The URLs</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Once search engines can read your website, they index (save and file) each page based on the unique URL (the address you type into the bar). This is important because some websites don’t have a unique URL for each page, which leads to the content getting all mixed up in the search engines. If your website does this, chances are you won’t rank well in Google or any other engines. Take a look at the picture below for examples of good and bad URLs. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Not only are unique URLs important, but having keywords in the URL is also important. Search engines count URL and Title Bar keywords heavily, and if you aren’t using them then you’re missing out on a vital piece of SEO.</p>
<p></span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Semantics</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">This is something that we’ll look at more in the content section, but it needs to be at least brought up with regard to code. A properly optimized website will use semantic code to market headings, paragraphs, lists, etc… This means that each part of your content is given a relative importance. Google uses this prioritization to figure out which keywords are important, so you should ask your webmaster to make sure your website is coded properly to use these standards. </span></p>
<h2 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">Content and Keywords</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The content and keywords of your website are both things you probably have control over (you might even be able to edit them yourself), and are both parts of SEO that you can implement yourself. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Content</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Content includes any text, images, audio, or video that you put on your website. For this article we’ll focus on text, since it is the primary way Google understands your website. The others need to be described with text in order for Google to register them. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Here’s the simple overview of content and SEO: </span></p>
<ol type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Content is good</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">More content is better</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Lots of content is the best</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Content is what search engines rank. If you have a lot of content, you will have more pages that can rank, and more ways to get traffic. So the more content you have, the better.</span></p>
<p>But it’s not quite that simple, content quality is very important. A high quality article will get a lot of traffic from social media and will get more links, which is a big factor in SEO (see the next big section). Also good content will be relevant to your website and have relative keywords in it. So don’t just throw up a crappy page and expect it to rank well—your content needs to be well thought out and provide some good value.</p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Keywords</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">When Google reads your content, it distills everything into a list of keywords. It is those keywords and phrases that control what searches your website will show up for, so they are of crucial importance. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">There are three important things to consider when looking for keywords. Is the keyword relevant to my business? How often is the keyword searched for? How competitive is the keyword? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Keyword Relevance</strong> You want to find keywords that have to do with your business so that they will bring in traffic that is valuable to you. A good way to come up with relevant keywords is to just brainstorm and come up with a list of words and phrases your target customer might use to find your website. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Keyword Popularity</strong> You need to find keywords and phrases that are being searched for regularly, or else you might rank #1 and get no traffic.</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Keyword Difficulty</strong> Once you have a nice list of popular and relevant keyword phrases, it’s time to cross out most of them. Many keyword phrases, and most individual words, are extremely competitive and very difficult to rank for. When you’re just starting out, it’s best to go for the easy ones first.</p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Content Structure</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It’s important to structure your content in a way that is semantically correct. This means using the right heading style for each heading, and using them in order of importance. A properly structured page will look like an outline with big headlines, little headlines, and paragraphs. This semantic structure helps accessibility, helps people scan your pages, and help search engines rank you properly. Here’s an example of good and bad page structure: </p>
<p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">Popularity, Links, and PageRank</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Once you’ve dealt with code, content, and keywords, the rest of SEO is kind of like a big popularity contest based on who links to you. Each website that links to you is saying “hey, this site is cool” so your ranking goes up a little. But it goes a step further than that. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Do you remember what happened in high-school when one of the cool kids said something was cool? That something all of a sudden became much more popular than if a normal kid had said it was cool. Google works in much the same way—links from authority sites count much more than links from a new website. The end result of all of this is something Google calls PageRank, similar to link popularity in other search engines, all of which is basically a measure of how important your website is online. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">More Links, Higher PageRank, Better Rankings</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">In order to give your site more weight, and get ranked higher, you need to build links from other websites—especially authority sites (sites with high trust and high PageRank). There are many different ways to get links to your site, some are good, and some are bad. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Some good ways to get links include quality directory listings, blog comments, writing articles, guest posts on blogs, and social media. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Get Trustworthy and Natural Links</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Probably because of the number of people competing for search rankings, it has become reasonably common for businesses to try cheating the system. Most of this cheating involves the process of automatic link building, and most of the time it works terribly. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">In order to defeat the cheaters, Google has made trust a key element of ranking well. This trust is not built upon the number of links you have, but on the type and quality of each link, and the overall appearance of all of your links (your link profile). Because of this trust system, it’s very important for you to get links naturally and really aim for quality links. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Link Quality</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Getting a quality link has several parts to it: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Originating Page</strong> The page that the link comes from needs to be a quality page, with relevant content, and not too many other links. If the page is a “links page” and has little text and mostly other links, it probably isn’t a great source. Also important is finding a page that has a relatively high PageRank itself. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Anchor Text</strong> Anchor text is the text that actually links to your website. Good anchor text will have relevant keywords in it. Bad anchor text will be irrelevant or just a URL. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>No-Follow</strong> This point needs to be here for accuracy, but it definitely complicates the matter and is something that you should probably ignore if you’re new to this. Basically, a link can be formatted such that it won’t transfer any benefits to your site. These links are called “No-Follow” links, and shouldn’t necessarily be avoided (they can still send traffic) but they won’t help your search engine rankings. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Basically, you’re looking for other up-standing citizens of the internet who will link to your content because it provides value. If you try to pay for links, or get free links with no editorial control (anyone can get in), chances are you’ll end up with low quality links. </span></p>
<h4 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Getting Links With Content</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">One of the best ways to generate links is by creating outstanding content and publishing it on your website—you want to create the type of article that is so in-depth, or of such high quality, that other people can’t help but link to it. This type of content is often called <em>linkbait</em> because it is designed to get links. Some people find that a term a bit spammy, but either way the fact remains that you can get good links by creating really valuable content. </span></p>
<h2 style="margin:auto 0;"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Times New Roman;">Should You Pay For This Stuff?</p>
<p></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Whether or not you should pay for SEO services depends on your situation and your marketing goals. If you want to build a popular website that generates a significant number of leads, it’s probably going to be necessary to get some SEO help. On the other hand, if you only have a business card website that helps you sell in person, and don’t really want to sell or market online, then it might not be worth the time or expense to go after search traffic. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Consider whether or not you’ll be able to get a return on your SEO investment. If you send more people there, will your earnings go up? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">If your website can’t generate leads, or sell your product, or make money, then you might want to think about that in more detail before investing in SEO. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">When thinking about investing in SEO, it’s a good idea to see what resources you can afford to spend. You may be in a position where you want to pay someone to do all of the work for you, or you might be in a situation where it’s better to spend the time and do it yourself. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Whatever your situation, I always recommend hiring a professional to deal with things like code and website structure. It’s very rarely worth it to learn highly technical parts, especially considering they change frequently in SEO. The content and link building are things you can do on your own if you have the time and energy. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I am REALLY enjoying “stuff white people like” probably because . . . yeah.</p>
<p>WELL I’m ACTUALLY PART MAORI ACTUALLY LIKE YKNOW LIKE 1/8</p>
<p>Musical comedy i<span>s a pretty good idea because when you have jokes that aren’t that great and music that isn’t that great, you can mix them together and create something that will entertain white people.</span><span>In most situations, white people are very comforted by seeing their own kind. However, when they are eating at a new ethnic restaurant or traveling to a foreign nation, nothing spoils their fun more than seeing another white person.</span><span>The arrival of the “other white people” to either restaurants or vacation spots instantly means that lines will grow, authenticity will be lost, and the euphoria of being a cultural pioneer will be over.</span><span> </span><span>Recycling is a part of a larger theme of stuff white people like: saving the earth without having to do that much.</span><span>Music is very important to white people. It truly is the soundtrack to their lives, meaning that white people are constantly thinking about what songs would be on the soundtrack for the biopic. The problem is that most of the music that white people like isn’t really dance-friendly. More often the songs are about pain, or love, or breaking up with someone, or not being able to date someone, or death.</span><span>So when white people go to concerts at smaller venues, what to do they do? They stand still!</span><span>If you want to understand white people, you need to understand indie music. As mentioned before, white people hate anything that’s “mainstream” and are desperate to find things that are more genuine, unique, and reflective of their experiences.</span><span>In white person law, if you meet someone at 80s night and then go out for breakfast the next morning, then you are automatically in a relationship. There are no exceptions.</span><span>To a white person, a view of water from your house is the greatest achievement in life.</span><span> </span><span>Often times, white people will make a joke about how hard it is to define irony.  It’s not that funny . . . But the reason that white people love irony is that it lets them have some fun and feel better about themselves.</span><span>It is not known if white people actually enjoy plays or if they are just victims of massive peer pressure. The only real advice around this subject is to never accept an invitation from a white person to go see a play . . .</span><span> </span><span>Hahaha</span><span> </span><span>More @ </span><span> </span><span>http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Not EVERYONE who was an emperor of the Roman empire ran around fucking horses and what not.</p>
<p>Marcus Aurelius was the nice old bloke in &#8220;Gladiator&#8221;.</p>
<p>The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>The sexual embrace can only be compared with music and with prayer.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive &#8211; to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
<p>You have power over your mind &#8211; not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.<br />
- Marcus Aurelius</p>
