Alphaville Big In Japan 1984

Big In Japan - Alphaville 1984.

I found this after watching a song called "Forever Young" also by 
Alphaville and read the title of this song so checked it out as the 
songs title is like a thing that everyone's heard.  I think you might 
have to click the You Tube button and watch it on You Tube.  

Anyway the song is kind of catchy.

Heard this once and wrote it down then looked it up again today.  It starts of ok but is just average but then good when it's like "take me for a ride" I think that's it anyway.  I just like this song for now and am posting it.  I have turned out to be quite the Rihanna fan anyhows.

My Life Information.

Hey all.  (I'm talking to myself no one reads this).

I been playing a little bit of Diablo 3.  I'm back up to $105 US dollars in my Paypal account but haven't had any sales for a couple nights now which is sad.  My inventory isn't the greatest I guess.  I am planning to expand with my brother lending me his D3 account so i'll be able to list twice as many items for sale, as most know there is a 10 item limit on the D3 Auction House.  This means i'll probably spend between $10 and $15 dollars on acquiring new stuff to sell for profit so will knock my Paypal balance a little.

My phone bill is in a little bit better shape so i'm going to try and save for a 24" monitor.  At the rate i'm achieving at the moment it's going to be a fair while.  Another thing is that the ads on this page have been doing alright.  I'm nearing the payout threshold for them but it's probably still a year away.  It seems that the ad's pay more now than they used to back in the day.  I'm also getting more traffic so that helps I guess.

I only actually got my new power supply on Monday after my old one died the bang.  One of the cables is to short so needs to be lengthened otherwise it seems fine so far.  Today I got my ram back that I send for warranty.  Again so far it seems ok and there have been no system crashes.  The original ram started to crash my machine after the first few hours.  It's been like 6-7 hours now without incident.  Yay.  Finally a stable computer.  I had the chance to buy an am2+ motherboard for $55 dollars but it sold before I finally decided I wanted it.  Very sad.  I have a quad core processor that would be faster than what I have at the moment it just needs a MB.

What else has been happening um.  I made a couple more pages on Indiegogo.com and gofundme.com , these are websites where with a page you ask for donations.  Some people have made a lot of money to start their project or fund whatever or maybe a sickness or something, some have made over 10k or even 100k.  I haven't gotten any donations but I did get one comment that's about it.  On my page I said that my suffering was probably in the top 5% of all time suffering.  I reckon it could be up there in about the top 2% of all time suffering without to much of a stretch.  I guess people just don't see my page buried in amongst all the others or they don't believe me.

What else has been happening er.  I had some new neighbours move into the flat next door to me.  O.  The landlords who had the house on the market because they were getting divorced - well the husband bought out the wife so I don't have to move.  This is great news.  I need stability.  I don't want to be moving around all the time and also there were about 5 open homes which was really annoying with people coming through all the time.  I would still love to own my own home one day with all the benefits that it comes with like cheaper living costs like rent.

Anyhow i'll leave it here for now.  I haven't been doing much at all as usual.    

Christian More Love, More Power - Jeff Deyo.

Christian More Love, More Power - Jeff Deyo.

I have been pronouncing Jesus as Daysis as in Days is Christ.  Daysis can be made to sound like Jesus.  Also I have been saying Endalls as Angels.  Anyway I just like this song so i'm adding it.  I could be a Christian if I believed in the bible but it seems so primitive for a God.  Sure there are some good things in there and i'll definately keep reading and listening but to say I believe what most churches believe would be difficult.

I believe in love I think.  Though that fails.  It's not a power to defeat much today of what is happening - of the suffering there is in the world.  Love falls short.  Who is there to help.  Drug could/can aid.  But do u get addicted and live a lesser life because of it.  Love won't help you with general issues or even important things.  It's quite an effort to summon up love which for me i'm probably not achieving/doing anyway it's just something that falls short.  How to love when you suffer?  Dunno.  Much to hard.  But that's possibly what you need to do.  I tried but failed.  Maybe I have never loved.  I had life a lot easier when I was younger.

Anyhow today is my birthday the 11th of May 2013 and I turn 35.  Happy Birthday to me yaya.

GPU Z ATI Radeon HD 7750 Sapphire 2gb

This is the GPUZ of my new video card, an ATI Radeon HD 7750 Sapphire 2gb.  It cost $130 nz dollars which is about $110 US dollars, the $130 cost includes $10 for courier.

GPU Z ATI Radeon HD 7750 Sapphire 2GB.

Since my original 600 watt power supply blew up I thought that it had taken out the video card with it.  I was only running an old 400 watt that was very dusty.  It had enough juice to power an ordinary 64mb pci video card but not enough grunt to run a pci-e.  I didn't know this till after the new video card wouldn't run either so I new it had to be something else.  I finally managed to borrow a 550 watt power supply and both video cards worked fine from then on and I am now able to run dual monitors.  I have a 22" and a 17" set up.  

Anyhow I now have to spend the rest of my hard earned Diablo 3 money on a new power supply.  I had a go with Diablo 3 and my new video card and it is alot better.  It doesn't lag for so long when there's alot of stuff on screen happening.  My new power supply is going to cost about $66 dollars including courier for a 600 watt.  600 watts should be more than sufficient for a while.  I got like 6 years out of my 400 watt power supply before it failed like it did with not being able to run a pci express video card.  I hope all is well with how it fits into the case and such.  It's a pretty small case.  I wouldn't mind a new case.

So with Diablo 3 as an update I have now earnt and drawn down into my bank account $145 US dollars or I got about $164 NZ dollars.  This is all since beginning trading on the 28th of March 2013 and it's now the 7th of May 2013.  I did have a brea k in trading cause my computer was down with no power supply but that was only about 3 days.  

As I write this I also have about $30 dollars in sales waiting to clear and go into my paypal account which will take the balance to about $40 dollars.  It's good.  I only just drawn down some money and I got almost enough to draw down again.  

My next drawdown is going to go on my phonebill as that's about $200 in debt.  After that is in control i'm then going to buy a new monitor hopefully.  A new 24" screen for around $180 NZ dollars I think they are.  I hope I can make it quicker than I can spend it.  Lol.  Not.   

Anyhow enjoy the GPU Z of my new 7750 video card and my mad rambles.  If you ever played Diablo 3 consider using the Real Money AH again if you have stopped playing.  There's still money to be made.

New Video Card ATI HD7750 + D3 Update.

I have been talking about Diablo 3 Real Money Auction House in my last post and will update now.  On Sunday the 21st  of April 2013 I passed $100 dollars US in my Paypal account for the first time.  That same day I withdrew $90 US which basically equalled $102.93 NZ Dollars and on Wednesday the 24th of April 2013 the money was there in my account.

That all being said I was going to spend the money on buying World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria and 1 months subscription.  Unfortunately on Tuesday the 23rd of April the power supply in my computer decided to die taking with it the video card.  I have a spare power supply but it's only 400 watt and it's quite old like nearly 8 years old so it will need replacing soon enough.  Anyway I have ordered a new video card.

GPU Z ATI HD 7750 2GB

I spent $131.41 cents including courier on an ATI HD 7750 which according to a review written days ago is the most powerful video card in its bracket for the money and it's also the most powerful before needing an external power supply.  In other words it draws all it's current from the PCI-E slot.  According to GPU Z it's nearly twice as powerful, maybe two thirds as my old card which I paid $185 for back in 2010.  Plus is has 2gb of ram.  My old card an ATI HD 5670 had only 1gb.

I also spent $12 Dollars on couriering 2gb of ddr2 800 MHz of ram that I bought that was faulty and made my machine crash periodically.  It was $6 each way as it had to go to Auckland where I bought it from.

My mum paid some of the cost of the video card but it means that I can't play World of Warcraft as all my hard won Diablo 3 money went on the video card.  

So anyway that's it.  All my extra money I earnt has gone....  Although, I have been getting a few sales recently and my Paypal balance will be up to $58 US dollars by this time tomorrow once some money has cleared.  I still had $10 in there from when I withdrew the $90 but this does mean I have earnt yet another $48 dollars since the 21st of April 2013.   I earnt like $150 US total in a month from March 28th when I very first started trading in D3 to now.

Diablo 3 Auction House.

Diablo 3 Box Guest Passes and Notepad.

Recently i've been playing with the Diablo 3 Gold and Real Money Auction Houses.  I've been buying gear on the Gold Auction House and then re-listing it on the Real Money AH with mark-up to make a profit.

I started with $2.50 in my Paypal account and have worked my way upto currently having $55 US dollars in my paypal account with another $11 in sales due to clear overnight tonight, so really i've got $66 US.

Not only do I have $66 US dollars but I also have 10 legendaries all valued between $5-$15 US dollars listing value on the RMAH which are currently all listed and waiting for someone to purchase them.

All I did was research the markets and bought low and sold high using the price difference between the two different Auctions houses.  I buy gold off the gold AH for US $0.25 cents a million.

With the US $2.50 I had in my paypal account I  bought 10 million gold and then bought one item off the gold AH.  I sold that item at a profit and then once the money had cleared I had enough money to purchase enough gold to now buy 2 items from the Gold AH.  I just continued in this pattern of purchasing gold looking for bargains on the gold AH and re-listing them with mark up on the RMAH.

It's taken about 3 weeks to earn that money so it's not like you'll be able to earn enough to make a decent living but if you have some spare time like me then this is probably something you can do to earn some extra money.  The game has paid for itself so far.  But it is a dying game.  It's nearly a year old now and people will be moving away.  An expansion will revive things but that's probably a year or two away.

What the Diablo 3 AH Looks Like.

It's has been fun getting sales of things and watching the profits roll in.  It's getting harder now though as well.  There don't seem to be as many bargains as there once was.  I do wish that I had been doing this earlier.

One really good way of getting gear that will fetch a good price is to bid on items.  You basically need to be there when the auction closes but you can get gear this way alot cheaper than sometimes paying the buyout price.  Sometimes it's worth the wait to place a bid not to get the gear straight away .  You should place a bid at the max of what you think the item is worth and on how much of a mark-up you can place on it.

If you plan of using Diablo 3 RMAH then stats to look for are Critical Strike Chance, Attack Speed and Critical Strike Damage.  Anything with one or two of these stats is worth alot of gold.  These stats also when combined with Vitality and one of the primary stats Dexterity, Strength or Intelligence make them item even more expensive.

With the money I have earned i'm going to purchase World of Warcraft - Mists of Pandaria and some game time and start playing that again.  That at least is my hope.  I also hope to make a lot more money from the Diablo 3 RMAH as I make better choices in gear selection and learn to price stuff more efficiently for sales.

If you own the game and you have some free time and a couple dollars in your paypal account then you should definitely look into trading on the AH for some spare dollars and a bit of entertainment.  You don't even have to play the actual game you can just trade pretty much like what I do.  If you persevere and do the maths you should make a profit.

Skrillex Cinema and Santigold Disparate Youth - Mike Tompkins Dubstep.

I thought these were quite good covers especially since he is only using his mouth and a couple of mikes to do stuff.  Talented as.

I'm guessing this would be like playing the piano.  I do think there is some skill in what is achieved here.  He would have to make edit all the samples himself and assign them buttons.  Then you would have to remember  where everything was I guess.  Much more skill than I have ever shown in this life.

I'm almost depressed by how untalented I am.  I do like his solo at the end.  I would be depressed if the music didn't cheer me up a little from being so good.

So it's kinda like depression at his skills vs mine but happiness at his skills and achievement and the end result.

I have the skill of suffering.  The one ring the suffer - RING to bind them all.  My precious.

Trouble - Taylor Swift

I thought I should include the original Trouble.  Walk off the Earth got me into the song Trouble.  I have already posted their cover of the song but thought I should include the original as I got a few listens out of it.  Trouble is definitely one of my favourite songs.

Since listening to Trouble I have been a fan of Taylor Swift.  The top two songs, posted here,  I listened to for a little while. They are ok.
