I tried searching for petes pad on google and to my surprise, despite having done absolutely no promotion for this blog this site appears #1. Which is a fair effort I think since the search shows a number of well made popular sites that have been around for awhile.

I guess this just goes to show that whatever you write on the internet is easily findable even if you do absolutely no promotion or you don't think anyone links to you, it will be found.

So, its about time that I really start posting dirt on myself that people can actually use isn’t it? well, I suppose its the sole reason that whoever actually reads this thing reads it, so without further ado..

You know, I was sitting here about to write this post about how I just cant be fucked doing anything at the moment as a way of getting started getting some stuff done.. because its hard to procrastinate talking about yourself, and it would serve as a good bit of momentum to get going..
But then again I've procrastinated myself out of using a quick NLP pattern to end my procrastination so you never know..

Well its been a bit of a busy period because I've been trying to get a lot of things sorted so I havent written up some of the stuff here that I've been planning on.

So that wonderful substance that we all worship during exam time, conference or just a big night out called Red Bull actually has side effects and I discovered some of them (I'm sure the others will hit me when I'm thirty, but who cares, its not like theres life beyond 30 anyway so i'll get over it).
I've always been the guy to have 2-3 cans of Red Bull right before an exam, or for the last AIESEC conference I brought 6 cans to keep me going and by now I've noticed that whenever I drink a bit of it my short term memory is seriously fucked..

Well since it seems that every man and his dog is writing their own blog I figured I may as well hop on the bandwagon and start one myself, you know, for anyone that can be bothered reading my crazy thoughts on things, or for anyone that wants to find an abundance of dirt on me without going to the trouble of just asking one of my friends.

So you know, just in case I ever want to enter politics and my opponents are running short of arguments, I thought I’d be charitable and start an easily searchable achieve of things I’ve done and my opinion on things in case they need some dirt.

Well, the other day one of my friends asked me if I didn't think it was questionable to study persuasion because some people might see me as someone that's manipulative and only interested in my own personal gain..

I don't think I need to say anything else here, Derren Brown is a mentalist who uses a lot of covert hypnosis and NLP to do his mind tricks.

While he arguably chooses subjects that are more suggestible, its none the less a good watch to see what you can do when you learn these skills Now... even if you choose to do nothing else other than watch these first few videos; the added realization of what can actually be done will mean you'll surely look back and thank yourself you took the time to watch them

Ok, i'll get back to posting my own stuff soon, but then again, your probably getting more value while i'm posting someone elses

Well done rapid induction here (and its funny to see one fat white guy hypnotist surrounded by asians):

Another cool video, this time it puts a nice spin on the idea that 'non believers' are 'immoral':
