Let Your Voice be Heard by Singing in the Popstation Contest

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Popstation. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey there friends. Have you ever sat down and watched American Idol on TV and figured that you could do better? If only those auditions were held in my city then I'd give it a shot and show those celebrity judges a real voice? Well, now is your chance to let the masses hear your voice. Grab that microphone and head on over to PopStation.

Popstation.com is a website where an everyday Joe, like myself, can grab a mic and sing a song for my fellow peers to hear and judge. You can upload original content or you can enter into their contests and score some really big prizes. As in THE BIG DEAL type prize. If you can promote your song to #1, you can win an all expense paid trip to New York City where you will spend 2 days enjoying the sites. Oh, and did I forget to mention that you will record your very own record. That's right, your very own record deal!

Sign up is free and entering the contest is a breeze. You simply check out the song that is currently playing in the practice rooms and make it your own. You can then record your very own version of the song and once you're confident that it's the best that you got, you can upload it to Popstation as an MP3 file. You then can enter your song into the contest and watch your version of the song rise the charts! There's all sorts of neat badges that you can display on your profile, such as top 100 artist, but what you really want to reach #1 to be considered for The Big Deal prize. It is awarded once every 3 months and the winners professional recording will be made available under the "Artists" section of Popstation.

And the best part? You can choose a genre that you would like to sing to. Do you have a heart for country music? . Or are you a great voice with soul? Then head on over to the Hip Hop/ R&B section and show us what you got. Or do you have a great rock voice (like your truly. =oD)? Then show us your chops under the Rock songs and strut your stuff.

If you have the voice, then show the world. You definitely need to check out this community of talented voices and see where you stack up amongst your peers. I'm creating my profile as we speak. I'll probably be under The Artist formerly known as Metallman. lol Wait! I guess I need to be an artist first before I can be "formerly" be an artist. I guess Metallman will do. lol Hope to see your profile soon as well. Later!

Motivational Poster - Stalkers

Hey there. I'm still in the dark in regards to Twilight. I know there are vampires and it's some kind of love story. Well, if it's anything like the below, I don't see how anyone can find it romantic. I wouldn't want some blood sucking beast watch me sleep. What is it plotting? Hell with that. I need to call Blade! Later!

Olivia Munn Loves Me!!!

Hey there. I was beginning to lose hope. Disappointment was beginning to set in. It has been months since I sent in my copy of Playboy to Olivia Munn to sign and send back. Well guess what?!?! I got it back! Whoo hoo! It took over 4 months but I finally got back my signed copy of Olivia Munn's Playboy with her on cover. AND... She says she loves me. lol

Olivia's Twitter and website showed the amount of Playboys she had to sign. She continued to get more and more boxes and it felt that she'd be fed up with em and just toss em in a fire. lol She stuck it out and last week said that ALL Playboys would be signed and everyone should be getting their copy by the end of the week. Considering that she's a busy woman, I didn't think she would pull it off but check it out. It's the end of the week and I have my copy. Thank you Ms. Munn! Later!

Make Downloading Photos Easier with Eye-Fi

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.


Hey there friends. A week or so before Halloween, I invited some friends and family over for "Halloween Rockband". We all dressed up in our costumes and we enjoyed a few drinks and rocked the night away. But guess what... You, my friends, didn't get to see any of the pictures. Why? Because I have no idea where the USB cable is for the camera. It's extremely frustrating to have pictures sit in my camera's memory card. Halloween Rockband was not the only night that where I had a great opportunity to write and post pictures of an awesome night, but it didn't happen because I do not like to post about activities without pictures. If only I had an Eye-Fi SD card then I know I would get more pictures into the computer and more pictures into my posts.

Eye-Fi is a revolutionary SD card that has built in Wi-Fi. That's right, built in Wi-Fi that will enable you to transfer pictures to the web directly from your camera. No more cables, no more lost pictures, no more lost opportunities to post about some pretty awesome experiences. With a Eye-Fi SD card, you could easily transfer your pictures directly to Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, among other sites, as soon as you snap your picture. How great is that?!
I still have my pictures in my camera. It has gotten to the point where I don't even bother taking additional pictures because I have gotten discouraged with the fact that I can't download the pictures. Don't let this happen to you. You can pick your own Eye-Fi SD card Best Buy, The Apple Store, or Frys Electronics.

Do you need a little demonstration? Check out the video below to get a better understanding of how easy it is to use and download pictures. It is definitely something that you should check out. Later!

Gross Profit, Current Assets, and Financial Statements

Hey there. Today was just a tough day at work. A tough week actually. I have been asked to follow a certain Major Department store that our sales team wants to pursue. I have looked over the financial statements and this company is just not profitable. Why would you want to invest in a company that is losing millions of dollars a quarter? I just don't understand that logic. I've spent the last 3 days spreading financial statements, reading their SEC reports, and typing up an extensive report on my findings. All for the best interest of the company that I work for. Yet, I feel as if my word means nothing, even though I have been labeled as "an integral and vital part of this organization". Instead of a good old pat in the back or a "good job", I get an Email from the president of sales stating that we're pursuing them anyways. lol Yeah... Just like that... 3 days of hard work, all for it to be flushed down by a simple Email. *sigh* The life of a credit analyst is never easy... Later.

Dr. Oetker's Make it Like Mama Giveaway

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dr. Oetker. All opinions are 100% mine.
Hey there friends. Looking to revamp your kitchen? Are you just not satisfied with it and you feel that there may be a need for a change? Well, that next slice of pizza may be your ticket to a whole new kitchen! The Dr. Oetker Kitchen Makeover Contest is underway and you could be the lucky grand prize winner of a $20,000 kitchen makeover. So how can a slice of pizza bring you this good fortune? Quite simple, really. Specially marked packages of Casa di Mama Pizza will have secret PIN numbers that you can enter here for an entry into the contest. If you sign up to be a Savoury Moments Member before the contest ends, you'll receive a free PIN number to gain your first entry into the contest.

And if you're not chosen to be the lucky grand prize winner, don't fret. Our good friends at Whirlpool will give 8 secondary winners a choice of fridge/freezer, freestanding electric range, dishwasher or microwave. AND, an additional 2,000 winners will instantly win free pizza, courtesy of Casa di Mama Pizza, or a free pizza cutter. The contest is available to all our Canadian friends and the contest ends on January 4th, 2010, with the winners announced shortly thereafter. There is still time to get those entries in!

My wife has been wanting a new kitchen for the longest. She has the ideal kitchen etched in her brain and we simply don't have the money to make it happen. If we were to win the grand prize, it would definitely make her one happy woman. She's even stated that if the kitchen were more to her liking, she would do more of the extra curricular stuff like baking. I sure do love some home made cookies! I've got my entry in, have you? Later!
