    "Bookie : Yo.\nme : Yo bro\nBookie : Just looking at the spreadsheet. Haven't had a chance to take it in.\nme : How do you mean?\nBookie : Meaning I just opened the file when you said \"yo bro.\"\nme : o\nBookie : Give me just a minute here.\nBookie : Fascinating numbers. The possibilities are huge, and you're heading in the right direction. (I.e., the possibilities aren't a unicorn and rainbows dream.)\nme : Aye, just sent the most-most recent version.\nme : It's like an autistic persons dream. So many colors.\nBookie : Frankly, if I hadn't seen it in action, I would scoff. As it is, I'm impressed.\nme : ~_~\nme : Aren't those projection #'s so beautiful\nBookie : Both numerically and aesthetically (those nice colors) -- yes.\nBookie : They don't even look real the further down one scrolls.\nBookie : It's like Monopoly money.\nme : I know :O\nme : (Like, it actually is)\nBookie : I notice that your projections are based on higher side estimates. What's good is that, even at mid-level estimates, the numbers are still impressive by most ROI standards.\nme : Well....\nme : I didn't bother to factor in realistic (personal estimates) on return visitors\nme : ~Or more fans\nme : (like 10M fans....\nme : Or, my hopeful returns\nBookie : Regarding returning fans, not tonight, but at some point, I'd like to talk to you about certain baseline content to feed returning fans.\nBookie : Tomorrow or after works better, b/c I'll have more time to talk. I also might start with a little memo, so get my thoughts in order.\nBookie : *to get my thoughts in order.\nBookie : Typos worse than usual tonight. Migraine. Functioning, but typo Hell.\nme : OK.\nme : Need to get a few more articles\nme : to plug in for overnight / early AM.\nBookie : Send me a list. I'll proofread carefully for typos.\nBookie : BRB. Gotta get something.\nBookie : Back. Send me links. I'm asking you too, because I just want you to pick your three favorites and we'll be done with it.\nme : Sent.\nme : I think I'm getting too fast at this....\nme : But, I swear this shit doesn't take long ~_~\nBookie : No, it doesn't. The time lag comes from my setting it up, sending it to you guys, then John working off it in the wee hours and doing his own stuff, and then him sending it back to me.....\nme : So, what are your hours?\nme : I need to figure out\nme : So, can work John accordingly.\nme : I'd like to move away from scheduling articles\nme : and move to working articles in real time.\nme : That way we can get more viral stuff\nBookie : Tonight, I've got 2 - 2.5 hours, and should be able to get all four to bed. Tomorrow, I've got to take my Mom shopping. That's the only big item on the list, and will eat three hours in the early afternoon.\nBookie : Other days:\nM, W, F: 6-6:30 a.m., 7:30-8:30 a.m. If I got to the dojo, I'm gone either from 9-10 or from 9-11, depending on your work needs. Then, I'm on until 3:30. And then I'm on as needed and as possible.",
    "T,Th: 6-6:30 a.m., 7:30 to noon. 1-3:30. And then I'm on as needed and as possible.\nBookie : Sat, Sun & Holidays: varies,but whenever I can snatch the time.\nBookie : If I have stuff lined up, I work efficiently. If there isn't a solid line-up or deadlines, I will drift away to work on all the other tasks in my life.\nme : How many hours in the evening...\nme : (average, if you had to say)\nBookie : After 3:30 or after 7 or 8 p.m.?\nme : Whatever...\nBookie : After 3:30, probably another 3 hours. After 8 p.m., between 2 and 3 hours on average. I can churn things out efficiently, as I said, if I have lists and if I'm not getting hung up on loading videos.\nme : so 5 hours before 3, 3 hours after 3, 2.5 hours after 8.\nme : 10.5 hours/avg M-F\nme : Ideally, everyone cycles 1 day out.\nme : So, 6th day(avg. hours)?\nBookie : That's averages. I cannot maintain the pace of a 10.5 hour day, plus family. I can be available solidly at the times I gave before 3:30. After that,I'm definitely available, but it may be hit and miss. Don't count on me being at my computer without breaks during those times.\nBookie : Anyway, let me work on those four articles now. Migraine meds are working, I've got a burst of energy, and I'm good to go.\nBookie : If I get these done now, do you need me at my computer first thing tomorrow a.m., or can I catch a bit of morning sleep or R&R?\nme : John will be on in AM.\nBookie : Good. I'll write these four now, and then rest a bit. However, since I'll be gone from 12:30-3:00 ish (my Mom's errands), if you have anything you want me to write before I leave, let me know.\nme : \"Book did 6 articles in the last 3 days\" ?\nme : (This is on me, I haven't been on...)\nme : (At attention for FB, have been working deals)\nBookie : I wrote several that haven't been published. They just lie there. I was also happy to help with all the contracts, but they took time. But yes, I was less productive in the last few days. Either I need to publish my own stuff, or I need to nag you more to publish it, so that I'm not just lying there, supine.\nBookie : As I said, I noticed that John publishes his own, but not mine.\nBookie : BTW, Cyrus, you beat yourself up a lot, physically and mentally, but you're doing something epic here -- and that's true regardless of how it turns out. I think you're changing the paradigm, and you're doing it on a shoestring budget, with a diffuse, small group of \"talent.\" And you're only 21. I admire you. And don't reply to that. I know compliments make you uncomfortable. Ever since my Dad's funeral, though, I resolved not to wait until people die to say nice things to them.\nme : hm?\nBookie : Work on Bill Maher post.\nme : HAH!\nme : Well... If we don't hit the 75 day #'s.\nme : It won't really matter one way or the other.\nBookie : I'm goal oriented. I'd like to hit the 75 day numbers.\nme : Cyrus will be epic-ally fucked.\nBookie : Yes, he will. That's why we're keeping our eye on the ball -- which is why I can't talk now. Must write.\nme : The Weekly Standard lady offered to fly me out, again, expenses paid.\nme : \"Sit with her for a day\"\nme : join her \"brain team\"\nBookie : Flattering.\nme : Sort of....\nme : It's as flattering as she could have offered.\nme : But, my line to Katie:\nBookie : More flattering is a big contract and lots of money.\nme : \"I don't want to, I'll go there, it'll go well, she'll say stay for a few days, she'll offer me a corner office, 10 years will go by, I'll wake up in a cold sweat, next to a person I hate, and two ugly children, and my life will be over.\"\nBookie : Oh, that's the obvious scenario.\nme : A text back from Katie\nme : Which now has me basically balls out in love with her.\nme : \"Do you want to be an entrepreneur or a serf?\" (Trying to talk me out of doing any deals with anyone \"I think you're the Steve Jobs of all of this ---- You're doing it all on your own, own way\" (etc)\nme : \"Do you want to be an entrepreneur or a serf?\"\nme : ^ Literally, in love.\nme : I saw that text, and I was like, this is the girl for me.\nme : (Not literally, obviously)\nBookie : See, two women who both think you're doing something worthwhile. I wouldn't go so far as entrepreneur or a serf. I'd just say that you've got an idea that has enormous possibilities, and you should work it through before you settle for corporatism (and ugly children).\nBookie : And now I must work, or you won't get your four articles.\nme : Its so nerve wracking now.\nme : Site, routine, everything is there.\nme : MrC has gone from school yard bitch - to, market bad boy.\nme : But, now ~ it's like ~\nBookie : And? Pressure?\nme : Everyone ~ is looking.\nme : Football is at us.\nme : And we have to sprint the entire field.\nBookie : Don't go all Lindsay Lohan on us.\nme : in 75 days.\nBookie : We will do it.\nme : I mean, it basically is that, now.\nBookie : Right now, you're polishing things for the sprint.\nme : No...\nme : Ads are turned on.\nBookie : This is Derek Jacobi time.\nme : (We caught the ball)\nme : Everyone is looking\nme : ~ And it's a long long sprint.\nme : In a very short amount of time.\nme : It's not like we're \"there\" in 75 days.\nme : It's just more like ~ 75 days from now.\nBookie : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2AwRAjweF8\nBookie : Jacoby Jones is who I meant.\nme : Football is a pussy sport...\nme : Let me find a better analogy.\nBookie : It's a metaphor.\nme : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8bIEk58LzI\nme : That's much more me\nme : I'm thinking mentally \"Newsbusters\"\nme : \"Hot Air\"\nme : \"Breitbart\"\nme : (Each of the little bitches being checked off the list)\nme : breitbart is the spear throw\nBookie : Great movie; great fight scene. I prefer less gore, but I get your point.\nBookie : Are we all going to die at the end of this?\nme : Who cares?\nme : As long as I shit on everyone elses head.\nme : Makes no difference to me.\nBookie : I prefer winning and surviving.\nme : I just want to win - here, and crucify my family opponents.\nme : Thereafter, I don't care, so long as I get crushed by a better opponent, doesn't particularly matter.\nBookie : As always, remind me to stay on your good side. And let me remind you again that, if I'm to get these posts done, I must work now. The Maher one is already in line. Working on the sleeper cell (no video), and hope to be finished with that in about 10 minutes.\nme : ok\nme : Really do need to overtake Breitbart.\nme : That's the only way to take his respect.\nme : That would basically say ~ Beat him, beat his remnants, win is definitive.\nme : Need 6 million Facebook Fans, and 6 Million email addresses ~ To put any argument to rest.\nBookie : We're working on it. But I liked Andrew. You can beat his site, but you can't take away the respect the man earned during his life. He too would be disappointed in how pedestrian his site has become. They're hacks. They report. They don't affect things as he did.\nme : If the numbers are there..... God knows I'll say quite a few things ~_~\nme : If we\nme : If we're* comfortably ahead of the curve, I'm not going to continue to pander to these dick-eating hillbillies.\nme : People need to be called on their shit.\nme : Anyway! John is on in AM\nme : Check in w/ him about times, but, tty2m\nBookie : GN.\n"
