Applying for a scholarship with a cartoon? See how I helped Anabel apply for Marie Forleo's B-School in a different way...

Created a video for Anabel, who wanted to go about getting a scholarship to Marie Forleo's B-School a little differently.  Thought I'd share it with my favourite people.  See below all this text.

If you don't know Marie Forleo, but are interested in creating an awesome business, you can check her website out at: marieforleo.com or rhhbschool.com

If you don't know Anabel, but are interested in having a happy lasting relationship, check out her cool method here: happyblueprints.com.au

P.S. I don't have rights to the Marie Forleo picture below, but I wanted to show you what she looks like so the cartoon made sense.  If the people at Marie Forleo want me to take it down, please email me at danielgrantnewton (AT) gmail (DOT) com, and I will do it immediately.

Massacre of the Tennis Ball Heads by Daniel Grant Newton

Superman vs. Batman (Dark Knight)

Hi my favourite blog friend, 

Hope you have been well, or super duper fantastic.  As you will not know unless you are part of the CIA, for the last number of weeks I have been in Haiti, and while I have been working on some interesting ideas, I have not had the internet connection to share them with you.  

As a result, I have scoured the mountainous lands for an illusive internet point, and only now, after climbing to a summit and speaking with a wise blind goat herder, have been able to post (this is utterly completely true except for the part about the climbing the mountain to speak to a wise blind goat herder).  

Anyway, now here we are.  And...  Here is a picture I drew in my pad and taken with my phone.  I will share more when I get back to Canada.

Highest salute!

Daniel

If you believed the Mayans, you just got PUNKED!

Hello dear reader,

I am taking a week's break for the holiday season.

In the meantime, I would love to hear from you about what you have enjoyed about this blog, and what you haven't.

You can email me on danielgrantnewton @ gmail . com

Also, if you are looking for a good Christmas present for someone, you could be the coolest kid in class and buy someone The Last King of Shambhala for just $9.99, making them quiver in excitement, thereby causing a cataclysmic eruption that fulfils the Mayan prophecies!

Anyway, have a wonderful holiday season, best wishes to you, and see you in a week's time.

Daniel

Yes, it is time to buy a new calendar (to all my Mayan readers)

On Tuesday, I wrote to the survivors of the Mayan Calendar detailing to them a brief overview of my top 9 articles for 2011.  Now I am recording the articles for 2012.  

Perhaps one day when aliens have colonized this empty dead planet and they want to know about our culture, they will uncover the Internet in a Google Plus Tomb, dust off the ancient sands, and celebrate these masterpieces of human potential.

Goodbye world... until tomorrow when I post the next chapter of The Last King of Shambhala ... survivors, do not forget - a new chapter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
