New Advertising Opportunity

In this day and age there are so many opportunities to explore in advertising products and services. Blogging is an exciting and open format for people to express themselves online for everyone in the world to access. One of the newest and most exciting avenues that has recently been developed to bring advertisers together with bloggers is at SocialSpark.com It is only in its early stages but it is an exciting environment that brings companies together with bloggers and also creates and online community for bloggers to build relationships with other bloggers. In the future I am hoping to see opportunities to speak about more commmon everyday products that we all use in our daily life. It would be cool to speak about New product launches from favorite companies like Coca Cola, they seem to have such interesting new product variations that would be fun to discuss. Other favorite companies of mine I would love to see would be anything chocolate, I am a Chocoholic and love when Candy bar companies come up with new variations on old favorite products. I recently tried a reese whipped bar which is a lower fat version of the favorite reese product. I can't wait to see what comes next with Social Spark it is going to revolutionize the paid for advertising market and is really revolutionary in it's thinking.

Happy Mothers Day

This is a special day to say thank you to that special lady in your life that raised you with much love and caring. Guiding you into the person you are today. Thanks Mom.

Silver Metal

Did you know that one of the most prescious metals today has more uses than just monetary. I was recently researching prescious metals and after searching through some internet sites I found some very interesting facts about silver. I discovered that silver is not only used for coins and jewellery but also for industrial use as well. It has been estimated that more than 95% of the mined silver has already been used in industrial construction because of it's unique properties including strength, malleability, ductibility and ability to endure extreame heat conditions. Interestingly enough Silver is also used for health care products as it possess uniques anti-bacterial properties. To care for burn victims, dressings recieve a layer of fabric containing silver which can prevent secondary infections to the wounded area. It certainly was very exciting discovering the history and uses of one of the worlds most valuable commodities.

Renovation Frustration

Just got the call from the renovator and although we were expecting our work on the windows and garage door replacement to be completed today it will be delayed until next week. Someone is coming today to finish up the framing of windows but the siding didn't arrive and had to be re-ordered for next week. It can be frustraiting when you want the job done and it is delayed, especially the front entrance of your house looks like shambles. One good thing though is until all the work is completed and signed off on we don't have to start making any payments for the job.

Horror Movie

Horror fans unite the most controversial gore fest is about to be released to theaters. This film is so controversial that it is being released as not rated and is only going to be in 10 cities for less than a week. Normally if a movies is rated so harshly it can not even be released in theaters but releasing in theaters on May 9th for one week only is one of these movies, Frontier(s) this movie will test the boundries of what you can handle. The movie starts out with the main character in Paris she hooks up with her ex-boyfriend and a couple of thugs to pull off a daring heist. On the run they hide out in what they think is a quite peaceful inn but little do they know very soon their lives will take a desperate change. The inn keeper has a few surprises up his sleeve for these folks and what will unravel will push all visual limits to what you would believe could be. There is torture and violence around every corner and you will be haunted by the images you take in. If you are unable to make it to one of the cities that are showing Frontier(s) select theater listings. don't worry it will be released on DVD on May 13th so you wont have to wait very long to get your own dose of this unrated gore fest

The sun is shining

Well after a week and a half of straight rain, we were blessed yesterday with a sunny day. We were able to get some work done around the house, gyprock on the new wall in the soon to be unveiled family room. We also had Jay's final basketball tournament of the year where the Jaguars finished 3rd overall, they were excited with medals in tow and newly promoted team Manager (Carrie). They looked like they had fun and coming up next I hear they are going to have a year end game against their schools girl team. It should be a fun game to watch, I'll have to be sure to take some pictures of that game for sure. The sun is shining on us again today so we'll see what we get into today.

Frontier(s)

Interestingly enough every once in a while a movie is created that is so over the top it truly makes you cringe in disbelief at what is being displayed in front of you. Releasing in theaters on May 9th for one week only is one of these movies, Frontier(s) a movie so bloody and Gorey it was labled with an unrated rating. From what I saw in the trailer it appears we are in for one hell of a ride with this movie. There is ultimate violence and gore around every corner. Torturous villains bent on pushing the limits of human tolerance to their breaking point and beyond in his dark forbidding inn. I tend to be a bit on the squeamish side and almost feel sick to my stomach with the images burned into my head from the Trailer. Eerily enough seeing the trailer has peeked my curiosity about the film and I find myself needing to find out where everything goes, normally I would have avoided this type of film. I can certainly understand the controversy over this movie and it absolutely pushes the limits of anything we have seen in the past. The movie is only being released in 10 cities, I will have to travel to "the Circle" in Boston to see the flick.

Saturday Nights Racing

Well it was an exciting race in the end last night for the Nascar series in Richmond. They managed a last minute sell-out crowd, the 33rd consecutive for the event. It appeared for much of the night that Denny Hamlin was easily going to win he dominated the entire race until the ending laps. The Fan favorite do Dale Jr. gallantly took the lead and the crowd was excited as it was 2 years ago at this event he took his last Checkered flag, what an appropriate end if he could pull of the win. In the end though after getting booted by a loose Busch and a few beer cans littering the track it was Clint Bowyer celebrating in victory lane.

Birthday survival

I have survived another birthday, the big 33 has come and gone. I had to work last night which kind of sucked and made it a rushed party with the family. We had spaghetti and salad with yummy cake for supper. Carrie and the kids got me some work out shorts/shirt and a new pair of sleep pants "The perfect Sleep pants" as the label says. I broke in the shirt and shorts on the treadmill last night and the sleep pants I would have to say might just live up to the hype. Midtown brand from Zellers for only 12.97 and they are better than pairs that I've gotton from other places for 20-30.00. Here's to making it another year.
