With cost of living going up like crazy, I think we can all use some ways to save more and more of the “little” money we have:
Milk – almost or just about $4.00
A damn banana – $.35 – $.40 cents for ONE
Rent – over $1000 bucks for a tiny studio.
After reading 5 Favorite Incredibly Gory Horror Films by Geek Tyrant, I Netflixed the following (2) movies and believe me they left me feeling like I wanted to throw up, my stomach turned a few times, I cringed and hide my face behind a pillow. UGH! sooo sick!
First I would like to thank Arie for this opportunity to talk about such an important subject to me, keeping readers loyal. For me this is the essence of the entire business of blogging. My goal is and has always been about building a regular community around my blog with readers and writers that care. From my very first blog a few years ago to the excellent collaboration on Blogussion I have found that keeping readers is far better than having to find new readers everyday. To keep readers I focus on 3 things, sincerity, content, and communication.

Wordpress and Blogger are the two most popular blogging sites out there. I use Blogger. I have tried Wordpress, wasn’t feeling it, I guess I didn’t like Wordpress formatting. At the time when I tried Wordpress I had already been using Blogger for about a year, then something happened and I figured I’d give Wordpress a try, but it didn’t work out for me, so I went back to Blogger and purchased a new domain.
How often do we find ourselves spending more time emailing, typing documents, etc… on our Blackberry/PDAs than on our computers? I must admit I am guilty on all these charges! Well, I’m NOT ONLY a Blackberry addict, but I love my Mac if it could fit in my pocket, I would carry it everywhere! Anyways, […]

After watching Good Hair I realized how much money is wasted on hair products by not only women but also men. I thought about how many different hair products I’ve tried to make my hair more to my liking. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE my hair, but there are times when I wish I […]
Remember that (still) very popular book Eat, Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, well there’s a “male” version to that book, Drink, Play F@#k by Andrew Gottlieb. I did not read either book yet, but I did skim through Drink, Play, F@#k and it was pretty funny. Apparently Warner Bros thinks the same because they […]
A month or two ago, a wonderful young lady contacted me via email and told me she wanted some insight on starting her own blog and wanted to know how to go about it. I was shocked, I am NO professional blogger, and I look up to the real professional Bloggers out there, like ProBlogger, The Huffington Post, Mashable, TechCrunch, LifeHacker, Gizmodo, Engadget, Joystiq, even TMZ to name a few; these people are amazing!! And someday I’ll be just as amazing as them, but as of right now I am just a young apprentice. :-)

While looking for a way to express/promote my blog for my upcoming event Blog Café 1.0, I thought that having my blog website on a t-shirt would be a great, yet simple way to promote. So I wanted just a tad bit more, so I thought about what would make it “standout” so then it […]
The leaked version of BBM 5.0 was released a few months ago, tons of BB users went straight for it, and after a day or two many hated it, some liked it, one or two loved it. I heard mostly hated comments about it and a lot of “I want my old BBM back.”
Nothing annoys me more than going to the airport and having to deal with people that apparently are not up to date with traveling rules and regulations on what to bring on the plane, when going through checkpoint. The worst is to be slowed down and wait so much longer because someone is bringing a […]

If that’s just a day without […]
