Happy Birthday Metallman!
Hey there. Today is my birthday! After doing the math, I discovered that today I turn 31. lol Yeah, I don't really keep track of how old I am. I don't see a need for it. My wife is usually the one that tells me, and others, how old I am. Anyways, I've been away from the blogging scene for about 2 weeks now. I needed to clear my head for a bit. I have many thoughts and ideas that I want to implement in my life and career and need to sort that out before I can focus on my writing. I think I've gotten it straightend out now.

VitalAlert Provides Medical and Security Response with a Touch of a Button
Hey there. Have you ever seen that commercial where an elderly person falls and exclaims, "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"? I know I have. And you know what... I never really paid attention to the message that the commercial was giving us. My wife recently started to take care of her grandmother and has been doing errands and what not for her. Whether it be a trip to the grocery store, pharmacy, or doctor's visit, my wife is there. But what if something happens when my wife is not there? What if grandma has a "I can't get up!" moment? That's why VitalAlert is essential for peace of mind.

What I'm Playing... Kersploosh!
Hey there. Do you member a time when it fun to toss a rock? Whether it be trying to knock over a tin can or trying to get it to skip across water, as a child, the most mundane of objects could become an afternoon of fun. That is the first thought that came to my head to moment I started playing Kersploosh!, on the Nintendo 3DS. The good people at Nintendo provided me a copy of the game and I am thankful that they did. The family and I have been taking turns trying to 1 up each others times, and even though there are many big name downloads on the Nintendo eShop, Kersploosh! is one of those rare gems that the whole family can enjoy together. Well, let's get into it, shall we?

When it Rains, it Pours
Hey there. I'm one upbeat guy. For those of you that know me on a more personal level, you know that it can be pretty tough to bring me down. Despite a lot of negativity and bad luck, I tend to pick up the pieces and pull forward with optimism. But something happened yesterday. A recent string of unfornate events have damaged my armor and may finally be getting to me. I won't go into much details but I will say that my vehicle was missing after work. Yup.... Gone. Living in Los Angeles, something to get around on is a MUST. I was upset, I was frustrated, I was angry, but in the end, I was down. Not so much because of this one instance, but more because of what my daughter said to my wife after I told them the news:

Thoughts On... Wreck it Ralph
Hey there. Wreck it Ralph is right up my alley. It's a movie paying homage to retro video games and somewhere in all of the video game character cameos, there is a feel good story of a bad guy wanting more than just being well... a bad guy. When I first saw the trailer for this film, I just had to see it. Being a gamer that was raised off of the retro games, it immediately grabbed my attention. Seeing familiar faces from games past was not only nostalgic but also brought back fond memories of my youth. If you haven't had the chance to catch this film, go do it before you will have to wait for the Wreck it Ralph DVD/Blu Ray release. WARNING! SPOILERS BELOW! Now, here are my thoughts on... Wreck it Ralph.

Introducing Blue Shield of CA Dynamic Duo: Dr. Jim and Bob
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of © Blue Shield of California for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey there. What ails you? Nothing? Something inside me tells me that's a lie. lol But I'm sure that you are just like myself and many other people that are computer savvy, we'll look up our symptoms online and make a determination as to whether or not we'll make a doctor's visit. More often than not, the doctor's visit never materializes. I'll admit, if it doesn't hurt, I don't make that appointment. I know... I know... It's a bad habit and just because my body doesn't hurt doesn't mean that there isn't something wrong. I can pose my problem online and hope for the best, but really, that's not the absolute best thing to do. That is, unless, Dr. Jim and Bob answer my question!

Donating to Locks of Love
Hey there. About 15 years or so, when I was in Jr. High School, I decided that I was going to let my hair grow out. Once the hair grew out, I was one of those guys with long hair. It was most in a pony tail or "bunny tail" as some of my band mates would call it, and I rocked that style for years at a time. When I graduated high school in the year 2000, I decided that it was time to start the new millenium with a different hair style. At that point, I haven't had a hair cut in years so it felt odd going into a barber/hair salon to get it cut off. While in the chair, I remember the woman complimenting me on my hair (soft, long, beautiful, etc. etc.) and that I should seriously consider donating it. Donating my hair... now there's an idea. I asked about what organizations I can donate to and she promptly stated that if I wanted to, they can donate my hair for me to Locks of Love. I wasn't all that familiar with the organization so I asked questions. What do they do? Who do they benefit? Is the organization reputable? Once she explained it to me, my mind was made up. I was donating my hair to Locks of Love.

Try Nopalea for Free
Hey there. I remember awhile back there was a lot of talk about "miracle" juices that would help ail whatever is bothering you. I don't remember what the name of the product was but this was easily ten years ago. The biggest problem that I had with this drink was that it claimed to heal and or cure practically everything. It had scam written all over it! I haven't heard of seen of anything that closely resembles that drink. I strongly believe that health drink makers learned from that one "miracle" drink and are specific as to what their product does. That's a huge plus since now you know that any outlandish claims are a red flag. I haven't come across a drink that offers everything, but I do know that someone should create a drink with the main ingredient being cactus. That's right. I said cactus. It looks like our good friends from Trivita have answered that call and are offering a great health drink, Nopalea. Why cactus? Well.... let me tell you.

Bitdefender Total Security Antivirus Takes Next Gen Online Security to the Next Level
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bitdefender for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey there. With the internet being more integral in our everyday lives, the next gen of online security has been working hard to make sure we are protected. Threats are everywhere. From phishing scams to hackers. From viruses to spyware. We need to make sure that we are protected from all threats and not just some of the threats. It doesn't make sense to protect yourself from only a portion of the threats out there. Many antivirus programs offer you protection from many online threats, but I believe that Bitdefender Total Security is the only one that offer full and complete protection. Why? Because they offer Bitdefender SafePay.

So are you going to hang out at home and catch the first game of the season on the couch??? No way! You should head on over to the NFL capital of the world, Buffalo Wild Wings! Where else you would you be able to enjoy awesome wings and catch the game in a family friendly environment? Don't drop the ball and miss out on a great environment with friends and family! Protect the football. Get to B-Dubs and enjoy the big game in style!

The Loss of a Baby Cousin
Hey there. I've been kind of missing this past week. I found out this Monday that my baby cousin (2nd gen cousin) passed away recently. It devastated me. Especially since my little baby cousin's dad (1st gen cousin) and I grew up together and I've always felt close to him. It's tough to have to bury a child. It is the most devastating thing that a parent would ever have to endure. While at the viewing, I couldn't but to get choked up. A small angel... lying there motionless is not what a baby should be. A child is the epitome of life, the essence of joy, and the very definition of a growing family. To have a young one be taken away from you before he had a chance to experience the outside world, shattered those thoughts for my cousin, his wife, and the whole family.
