And you can come listen to the music I like and share with me what you like. It does require you to have a Spotify account…but click the link and get setup. It’s super easy and you and I can share with each other! Enjoy!

I would cuddle you so hard…
I ordered mine today. I’ve been waiting for a shirt that expresses ME. LOL
Here’s to the crazy ones…
I know this quote has been made and heard a lot lately, especially since the death of Steve Jobs. But I wanted you to re-read it and think of yourself as one of those crazy ones. One of the ones who sees things differently. One of those who can’t be ignored because they change things. So, please re-read it again for yourself. I did this morning and it was enough to get me out of bed and get me back in action for life today. Hope you find strength in it today as well…
How much does the internet weigh?
OK…honestly I’ve never thought about it. You probably haven’t either. But did you know that when your Kindle or your iPad is full of data or a full battery charge that it actually weighs more. Sure, you will never be able to tell because the weight is so miniscule. This is an amazingly interesting video..go learn something!
JetPack Joyride…hop on!
Recently FaceBook did a little thing with Apple’s App Page and offered FaceBook users a chance to download a game called JetPack Joyride for use with your iDevices. I was a little hesitant at first….as I am with most free things from FaceBook. I did it though. Mostly because I trust Apple. And I didn’t regret downloading this free little gem.
HalfBrick, the company who also does my other favorite game Fruit Ninja (and the awesome new Fruit Ninja Puss in Boots!), did a really nice job on this game. I haven’t played a game this fun since the original Mario Bros. game….which we all know ain’t coming to an iDevice ANY time soon!
The game starts with you launching into what looks like a crazy underground tunnel equipped with your jetpack. There’s no real introduction to the game. You’re kind of thrown into it to figure out through stumbling your way through. I don’t have a problem with this, but I know some people get a little crazy about not knowing everything about the storyline and such.
I love this game. As I’ve gone throughout the different levels of play I’ve discovered that there are several missions to get through. You will see several coins to capture just by flying onto them. Scoop up as many as you can. You can buy lots of cool stuff in the store including new jetpacks, clothes, utilities and stuff like glasses for your character. The glasses do nothing…but I sure look cool with them!
When you see the rainbow squares throughout the level of play, fly into them to open a new suite to play with. Your jetpack will magically turn into a flying dragon, a gravity suit, a stomp machine and even a space ship that is really hard to manage because it transports itself to unknown spaces on the screen.
When you get “killed” you will go to a crazy slot machine screen if you have collected enough coins to reach it. There you will have a cool opportunity to either get some extended play on that level, move forward several hundred meters and all kinds of cool stuff.
This game is super fun. It is also highly addicted, like my Fruit Ninja is. This company seems to know what it’s players want in games…so I look out for their stuff a lot. And it’s free for a limited time by “liking” the FaceBook Page for the Apple App Store. I don’t know how long it’s there so you better move quick. Here’s some screen shots from the game:

How the whole thing started with Kermit…
Lucky Kermit?
Halloween ain't for kids anymore (or "mommy who is that scary lady?")
By risking everything including my reputation, I hope to bring a joyous diversion to your day!
I love Halloween. I mostly love the sweets. I wouldn’t actually say that I celebrate it as much as having it be a celebration…which may look like the same thing. I Googled “Celebration” and came up with “any joyous diversion” and Halloween is totally that for me! Going to places and seeing costume contests is really one of my favorite things to do. Dressing up…not so much! One year, I dressed as a woman…an ugly woman at that ;). I forgot where I parked my car and my heels were killing me. I took off the heals and walked so much on the pavement that my footed pantyhose broke and they flopped around on the top of my feet as I walked…like a floppysock that ripped but you had the tube part pulled up. Pretty gross looking I’m sure. My favorite times are going to costume contests and watching others put up with getting around, getting a drink, sweating it all off, etc. By the end of the night, you look like a hot mess and nobody can distinguish what you started the night as. “I’m an angry cat!” one woman yells out at 2:15am last year. Earlier that night she had told me that she was a Baywatch Babe. Just freaky I tell ya! But I’m going to share one of my pics with you that I don’t often pull out of the woodworks…simply because it could ruin me…but it’s Halloween. And who doesn’t need a joyous diversion these days?!
So only look at this next picture if you aren’t easily scared. And remember, laughing at yourself is the first step to getting through the difficult times. This certainly is opening up the floodgates on laughing at myself! Enjoy (and remember I warned you!)
I Should Know…
I love business. I love seeing what makes business tick. Entrepenuers really inspire me. What it takes to make a business succeed and thrive, no matter what the economic climate, is something to admire. There are so many books out there that tell you what to do, how to do it, why you should do it and how often. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. If only it was that easy to make it happen. What is the difference between those that CAN and those that DO? Is it really a matter of doing the right things or is it something else?
Any business person worth their weight will tell you it’s probably a combination of all of these things. I want to explore this. I am going to look at different ways we are making it work. Some of it will be specific to this economic climate and will have applications as such. A vast majority of it I want to explore will be applicable to any climate.
What if the success of your business was NOT based on the economy. What if your ability to get a good job had NOTHING to do with the job market?
I’m not saying it’s the truth…but we have to start there. We are all given the right to be happy and successful in this life. Don’t you think it’s about time you had that? Well alright.
I’m going to recommend books and blogs and ideas. I’m also going to recommend courses and classes. You don’t have to do anything I recommend. But if you WANT something different in your life…you are going to have to DO something different. More importantly you are going to have to BE someone you’ve never been before.
I also encourage your feedback and progress as we go along. I’m not really interested in your opinion if you aren’t going to do what I recommend. Posting comments just to argue or be right about how hopeless it all is will get you nowhere and and will only keep what you got. There are other blogs for that. This one isn’t it. So here’s to a bright future…
