OK I've never been a big reader. I'm more of a film goer! I've literally read around 15 books in my lifetime, and half of those have been biographies or autobiographies, which is nothing to brag about. But of the few books that I have read I can highly recommend Ben Mezrich who is the author of the book behind the hit film 21 and the book that formed the basis for the more recent The Social Network.


It can be difficult to actually describe and persuade someone to go out an buy a book, particularly those that prefer not to read like me, but I can't stress enough how amazing the Ben Mezrich books are! Often starting slow but building up steadily to generate a really accurate picture of the various fictional or non-fictional scenes, Ben Mezrich's writing makes his books impossible to put down! I've read all but the latest of his non-fictional books, in order of release and thoroughly enjoyed each one and finished them in no time! 

Again to emphasis the entrepreneur factor, the books are always circled around aspiring success wanting entrepreneurs and risk taking personalities, never focusing on more than just the one person. If you watched The Social Network or 21 and enjoyed them, go out an buy the accompanying books from Ben Mezrich because you will not regret it. Better still, order through Amazon using the book links below, because this means I'll take a minor cut from Amazon (Stick it to the maaaaaaan!). I'm actually going to visit my own blog and buy a book from my own affiliate link because my copies of his books were borrowed! 

Final thing really, if you ever feel de-motivated about things, or just have a business or enterprising streak in you, I urge you to take my advice here! Read a Ben Mezrich book and enjoy. Peace

Being a none religious individual and very much against people who choose to preach their religious beliefs I always found it amazing that mum buys more pressies for me on Jesus' birthday than my own! Anyone else find this happens with them? Sort of pisses me off especially when you consider my own beliefs which couldn't be further from what we're supposed to be celebrating on Dec 25th. I think to myself "well celebrate health and being with family and friends" which puts my anger at ease somewhat! Anyhow I've been thinking lately and for the past few years that I want to stage a birthday party for my 10,000th day old birthday! 



I calculate that if my date of birth is 11th Feb 1986, I will be 10,000 days old on June 29th 2013. Now I know that it seems ridiculous to be thinking about this given that it's three years until the date however I really do want to stage the most over-exaggerated, ostentatious and ridiculous birthday party you've ever been to! I mean MTV shit! Entertainment, bands playing, huge venue, fireworks, amazing food, casino entertainment, shit loads of bodies, fire eaters, clowns, bouncy castles, magicians, Susan Boyle playing the bongos, the lot! I want celebs there to wish me luck with my next 20,000 odd days and I want it to be a massive success. I need to save some cash so that I can fund this but can you honestly say that you've been to a birthday party where the aforementioned factors have been present? We all know the answer to that! What more reason do I need to make this happen! So who wants to come to my 10,000 day old birthday? Because I also want outrageously flamboyant invites to send out too!

Hi, I thought I'd start this blog by introducing myself and take it from there. Well the dude on the right is me, Daena Hayhurst (MachineDaena or Pokergeezer7) with a bit of an old school hero of mine Sonic the Hedgehog or to put it another way, a random fancy dresser from a recent night out (legend). 



I'm currently 24 and have been educated at Manchester Met uni with a degree in Business Enterprise. I've got experience as a recruitment consultant but more recently have been looking to online initiatives to make me money. My ambitions are to start and run my own business and to inevitably get rich in the process. I fancy myself as a bit of an entrepreneur but have yet to prove this really! I'm quite into gaming, sports, keeping fit and learning new things. I also socialise way too much as I have a habit of not being able to say not to people. My good points are honesty and integrity, as well as just being a genuine kind fella. My vices are tendencies to drink plenty and gambling. I guess for now the aim of my blog is to let people know who I am and what my aims are and as things progress I'm sure I'll post about things that annoy me, do it for me, rage me or just things that I believe people may want to hear my opinions on. For now I'll say nice to meet you and take it easy :D
