that’s the russian nightmare near me hahah. one day i might train with him. i think he’s afraid of me even though he is basically something right out of mortal kombat hahahha. he thinks i’m a russian mail order bride probably. i think i spy him watching me murder myself on the treadmill like a total f–ing lunatic some mornings for warm-up.

hahahaheehehehea nice. so tryng to impress jeff here. that chick in the foreground to the right came from the magical world of facebook. social media works for business yo! but you need a virtual salesman like me to push it.

rah scary raymi. scary raymi army. anyway, here is an example of how funny my life is and how fun. i get to take my diva persona into emails, business emails. here’s an example of a back and forth one from yesterday.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5469864841/in/set-72157625990984371/

HEY RAYMI WE HAVE THIS TOTALLY STUPID CONCEPT/PRODUCT INVENTION AND ZERO SOCIAL RECOGNITION OR INTERNET INFLUENCE WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU OUR CRAP TO HOCK ON YOUR BLOG THAT YOU SO DON’T WANT AND NO ONE WILL EVEN GO FOR BUT PLEASE DEMO IT FOR FREE THANKS THIS IS(N’T) A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU HOCUS POCUS ALAMALOCUS!

me: i don’t promote for free what is your budget?

UM, WHAT ARE YOUR STATS?

me: ten k daily

ZERO RESPONSE.

it’s not that i get as many hits as xiaxue (so don’t) or the like, it’s me, i am the influencer here and look at my alexa ranking. i have put company’s business on the internet map just by linking to them repetitiously. i’ve raised the level of my frenemy’s blogs too so i don’t really link to them anymore. the closer i get to the 10,000 ranked website in canada, the pool of competition thickens exponentially. i have been too kind to too many for too long.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5469866025/in/set-72157625990984371/

in short, i busted my ass to get where i am now here, how much is it worth to you to have an advertorial with raymi? it’s worth a lot, it’s more effective to be seen here, my finger is on the pulse. people battle daily for my opinions, responses, whatever why am i even saying all this? i think i am still defensive about this entire blogging racket and i am tired of explaining it to people the same crap over and over again. HEY YOU CAN MAKE MONEY FROM THAT WHOLE NEW-FANGLED INTERNET BLOG BOX THING HOW DO I START ME ONE OF THOSE? ugh.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5469866607/in/set-72157625990984371/

i take all my rage out at the motion room. they’re turning me into linda hamilton and i am making the personal trainer rounds right now for variety, it’s fun. but i can’t try my tricks with the new ones so it’s more effective. even when james is screaming at me i am like oh baloney shut your face then laugh like hell into my towel as i am lying in a disgusting pile of my sweat.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/raymilauren/5469867137/in/set-72157625990984371/

always wear tighter clothing. i am shrinking and learning this and i know i’m in the zone when i start to shrink out of my clothes or for five minutes i look like a lanky praying mantis or jimminy cricket then it’s all downhill from there. yes. downhill from looking like a grasshopper that’s right.

i like aerobicsy stuff cos i can practice my dance rhythm and i pretend i am a cyborg fitness video background demonstrator dancer. i also like the floppy flop of my ponytail because i now associate with thumper and that’s the direction i am steering my brand. bambi bunny playmate. look, you think I think i’m insane? can you imagine the machinations going on in the head of an ACTUAL chick who takes this stuff legitimately seriously? my word.
