Ya’ll-the readers- are my everything: By visiting my blog ya’ll are giving me encouragement to work even harder. Right now, I could be focusing on affiliate marketing and be making a lot more money than working on this blog. But I enjoy posting and working on this site, because I actually have a fan base!

I created this blog to share my appreciation of the internet. I know I’ll never become famous, but I do want to feel important: I want my opinion to count, at least online.

I’ve created several blogs in the past. None of which I really liked posting in. This blog feels different… it’s actually fun to work and write on it. It’s great to see comments ya’ll are giving me, I appreciate every letter of ya’lls comments.

This website is growing: Ya’ll love me, googleloves me: I have almost all my posts indexed in Google. Look at these stats. I start this site last week and you can see the growth. You can clearly see that this site is growing huge! I haven’t even started my major marketing campaigns, yet and I have near 100 uniques a day. Pretty impressive for less than 1 week old blog.

Sure there are a billion blogs out there and so many other things to do. But you guys are reading my blog, right now! This makes me really happy and ya’ll have no idea how much I appreciate it. I hope ya’ll keep on reading, cause I’ll keep on writing interesting things. Let’s rock!

Yeah!

Tired of constantly visiting your favorite musician’s Myspace page to listen to your favorite single? Well now you can download them in a matter of seconds, using Firebug and Windows Media Player.

#1. Download the Firebug plugin for the Firefox Browser. This is a useful tool for determining what things you’re downloading from the site. It’s mainly used for configuration of website, such as fixing the css. You can download it here.

#2. After you install Firebug, you should see the Firebug icon on the lower right side of the browser. Right click it and enable it; also you can it open it in a new window for convenience.

#3. Visit the Myspace page you want music out off of. If you have firebug open you should see a list of stuff that you’re downloading from the site. The major thing you should see is a big file, usually more than 2mbs.

#4. Right click the location and copy it.

#5. Open windows media player and right click on File. Then open URL and put your copied url in.

#6. Once media player recognizes it, open your file and save your mp3.

Now you finally downloaded a song off Myspace! If you liked this guide then subscribe to this blog: I’ll write more useful guides later.

Yeah.

When the word “Prison” comes up you usually think of solitary confinement, for most of the day, with no fun whatsoever. This is actually not the case in the Prisons in the Philippines: Apparently, their prisons have dance programs. If you ever plan on committing crime, do it in the Philippines because then you can become a professional dancer after you come out.

Inmates dancing to Michael Jackson’s famous song- Thriller.

Inmates dancing to the popular Souljah Boy- Crank Dat Superman.

So how is it that these prisoners do dance with choreography that well? It seems like they have a lot of time on their hands, so they probably dance all day. If I was in jail, I’d do the same thing. But unfortunately, this will never work out in the prisons in the United States: Just imagine all the Southern Mexican gang having a dance off with the Krypts. Yeah, that probably will never happen, so your only option-in USA prisons- is to workout and get strong orr read the bible.

Yeah.

So you’re in the market for a new car. You want it to be affordable, stylish and reliable. Looks like you can only get a Hyundai or Toyota right? Wrong! When it comes to cars, looks can be really deceiving.

Whenever you see a Mercedes or BMW you automatically think BALLER, but that is not typically the case: Both of those car makers can be relatively cheap. For instance…

How much do you think this Mercedes CLK500 is worth?

$19,000

Or this BMW 330i?

$19,900

Now this Hyundai Azera?

$22,100

The truth is, out of these three used cars the Hyundai costs the most. Sure the mileage on the Hyundai is definitely better than either the Mercedes or BMW, but Germans build quality cars. I have a 1992 BMW 318is and that car is built like a tank: Few months ago I was involved in a rear end hit and run and my car doesn’t even look like it got hit. The other car’s hood really busted and I’m surprised that he fled the scene. My roommate, the other writer of this blog, has a BMW over 200k miles; talk about running forever. The point is BMW/Mercedes mean business when it comes to quality.

When you’re looking to purchase a new car, you should really consider buying a used Mercedes or BMW. They are quality cars that will give you the image of prestige everywhere you drive, at an affordable price!

Next time you drive around town and see all those people driving BMWs and Mercedes, some of them might not be as rich as you think! So get out there and ball on a Budget.

It was 8 PM on Monday and I had just finished a meeting with my group for my MIS (Management Information Systems) class. I was in a hurry to get back home so I could study for my economics test the next day, but oh wait, I had to go back to Jester Market to buy a blue book for the test and a pen…that’s right…I’m in school and don’t have a pen. So I go down the huge hill and get my pen and blue book, and start going back up the giant hill.

I’m pretty relaxed and not in a hurry to get back to studying now and am just cruising. I stop at the stop light and debate whether I should go through the red repeatedly, but because of my paranoia and fear of cops, I decide otherwise. The light turns green and I’m going pretty fast…1st gear…2nd gear…3rd gear…4th gear…CRASH.

Let’s step back. I come up to the first stop sign and there’s a black Ford Ranger truck that just pulls up. The truck stops and I check his lights…no blinker. So I decide I don’t need to stop at the stop sign, the truck is going straight. WRONG.

As soon as I’m passing the guy he turns right and I am there on my bicycle blocking his way. The truck wins, I go flying,my bike meets Death, and my body meets the concrete. I get up right away feeling a little hurt but fine, check my jeans (they aren’t ripped ) and the guy comes out to help me.

What do I decide to do? Laugh. I think it’s funny and stupid and he begins to laugh and I say it’s OK and he goes on his way. Then I realize I can’t ride my bike, I didn’t get his insurance, and I have to walk up more hills with my bike in my left arm and an achy body.

I finally get home, this is by the way the hottest day of the 2008 in Austin, TX, and I laugh and show my roommates what an idiot I am. I get to my room after feeling stupid in front of them and call my girl friend to tell her how stupid I am. She’s shocked at first but we laugh about it…and my arms starts to hurt.

I think it’s nothing, that it’s just a scratch and check my legs for scratches (jeans are still OK!) and get on the computer. The arm starts hurting more and my girlfriend suggests I go to the ER to be safe. I take a look at my insurance card and see $200 vs. $75 if I just wait until the morning. She suggests I call my dad, he tells me don’t worry about the money, and we’re off to the bus to go to the ER.

We get there around 10 PM and it’s packed. My arm is really starting to hurt and nearly every one in there has a sore throat or some other BS. Seriously, why do people have to go to the ER for a cold…Anyways, we sit there and wait…and wait….and wait…woohoo! It’s 11:30 and my name is called. I go to the back and get my blood pressure taken, they ask my pain level (I say a 2/10 like an idiot), and they tell me to go back to the waiting room…

I wait there for another hour and woohoo! my name is called again at 12:30. My girlfriend by the way is sitting with me through all this…So we go back and since my pain level is a 2 i have to sit in the visitor’s area. I sit in this visitor’s area for 2 hours! I’m finally called to get x-rays done and sit in the waiting room for another 2 hours!

Then the nurses begin to fight because they don’t know where any of the patients’ charts are. The retard in front of the charts says to not worry about it and when they get mad at her she says “whatever”…

The doctors finally get back from trauma at 4:30 and tell me I have a very small fracture. I opt to not get the splint and he gives me a prescription for Vicodin.

We’re so tired of the hell that is Brackenridge Hospital and decide to walk back since the buses stopped running long ago. We step outside and it’s no longer the warmest day of the year, it’s one of the coldest. We step back inside, call a cab, and 45 minutes later the guy arrives. We get home around 6 and fall asleep almost instantly…

The next morning I e-mail my economics professor. I ask for a make-up and I expected this was an excusable absence, but he tells me the final will replace this test grade. THE FINAL IS NOT EASY!!!

So, in conclusion, this week has been horrible. Oh yeah, when I woke up that morning I had a text message saying that Yao Ming is done for the season and playoffs…WOOHOO…

So an AMEX consultant gave a presentation in my marketing class: She told us all about the different ways they promote their cards and the difference between a charge and credit card.

What are the different types of Amex cards?

Gold

Green

Platinum

Centurion “black card”, funny thing about this card is that it was made because people were asking about it. In the 1980′s people started rumors about AMEX actually having a black card. It wasn’t until 1999, that AMEX decided to make one. You can’t get this card unless you already have an AMEX platinum and spend 350,000+ a year on it. This card is by invitation only. The AMEX consultant told me that they don’t even market this card based on reason: It markets itself based on image and people having the self-conception that they must need it to become  a real baller.

 Whats the differences? The big difference in these cards is the annual fee. All the charge cards Green-Centurion have annual fee. The Centurion’s fee is 3500 per year and a 7500 initiation free. Also the spending limit on all the Charge cards can be very flexible, because they are 100% not like credit cards: With ordinary credit cards, they raise your limit every once in a while. AMEX is  willing to work with you when it comes the credit line: If you’re struggling one month and need your credit line upped, you can do it!

Whats alike in these cards? AMEX is still around because it focuses on quality treatment of customers.  AMEX representatives do their best to help out their customers and assist their needs. The one main thing these cards all have is Airline benefits. Every one of charge cards gives you special privileges when it comes to traveling. The platinum lets you stay in a special airline lounge in the airport and special hotel reservations.  The Centurion card actually has 24/7 person service. For instance, you can call AMEX and they will reserve you the best basketball tickets, plane tickets and hotels etc.  AMEX isn’t about being reasonable, it’s about quality.

So is an AMEX charge card like a debit card? No, unlike debit cards you don’t have to pay off the AMEX charge card every month. But be warned the charge cards carry a huge APR, so you might want to pay in full. Back in the day before credit cards were made AMEX made it’s charge card with it’s own system. Now, because of the complexity of the system AMEX is still using it but they changed the rules up. Now you AMEX cards are just like ordinary cards but are more flexible.
So why get an AMEX card? If you travel a lot, want quality service,  and/or need a flexible credit line, an AMEX card is right for you: They have excellent service, coupled with many travel rewards/benefits and are very flexible with allotting credit for their customers.

Yeah, all this AMEX loving coming from a VISA+Mastercard holder But I really wish I could get an AMEX Charge card without paying the annual fee’s
