25 Random Things: New Facebook Phenomenom is Old in Blogging
I’m sure a lot of you have been getting tagged in your facebook accounts from friends who have just revealed 25 random things about themselves and would like for you to do the same. I’ve been trying my best to resist, since I rather just write for my blog than some notes section in my facebook. Then came the forehead smack – My facebook notes is tied to my RSS feed of this blog, so anything I put on here goes on facebook anyways.
So, here you go . . . .Check below to see who I’m going to tag in the blogging world:
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page. If you don’t see “notes” you’ll need to add it by clicking on the “+” sign and add “notes.” Paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
- I believe in Ghosts, but don’t think they’re all bad. This probably is a result of growing up with Casper and Ghostbusters.

- As competitive as I am, I’m glad I’m not a sore loser . . . . I think.
- With that being said, I’ve broken golf clubs over my knee.

- I was raised in an italian household as a baby for a few years.

- My first concert was a New Edition Concert at the Arrowhead Pond where I was drugged by secondhand smoke of some sort, which led to hallucinations on the drive back home.

- I only played volleyball in High School.

Jeff, 
Thought I’d share my comment from one of my favorite blogs – Dime Magazine
1) $5 Gas is Environmentally Friendly – All those tree-huggers must love what’s going on as their wishes of less cars, more carpooling and an overall smaller carbon footprint per person is coming true. By the way, find out your 
2) $5 Gas Helps Us Lose Weight – It looks like $5 gas is starting to make people realize that walking a few blocks to the market isn’t really that bad. More and more people are either walking or riding their bike to help them get around. We haven’t seen this much calorie burning since the caveman days when we had to hunt and gather our own food!!!
3) $5 Gas Makes Us More Social – More and more cars are being left in the garage in favor of carpooling, trains and subways. It’s a great opportunity for you to meet new people and helps us realize that “hey, people aren’t as crazy and senile as I see on the news!”
4) $5 Gas Makes for Less Traffic Jams – With less people wanting to drive, there are going to be less cars on the road. Less cars means less traffic. I hope to gain at least ONE day back from the 2 weeks I lose sitting in traffic every day!
5) $5 Gas Improves Local Economy – I’m assuming most of us live in neighborhoods where we can walk down to the local farmer’s market or local restaurant for a night of entertainment. We can probably discover new neighborhood events going on like outdoor movies in the park. Bottom line, we’re not going to be venturing too far away from home anymore, so why not enjoy where we live?
First of all, I want to wish Steve Jobs a speedy recovery from 
This weekend I celebrated my 30th birthday and amazingly, I didn’t crumble into fetal position and become depressed about my life. Instead, I looked forward to my birthday with friends and family and celebrated the successes and accomplishments in my life rather than complaining about what I don’t have. This was suppose to be more of a post reflecting on my life, but that gets too boring, so I’m just going to write about things I would tell an “under-30″ about reach the point of “after-30.” I’d like to call it:

Last night, I was hanging out with some friends and met a sniper for the United States Marine Corp. I became interested right away with what it takes to become a sniper, since I absolutely love playing the role in video games. So, I bombarded him with questions and here are some things I learned that I thought I’d share:

I had a client that needed an ecommerce site created in 2 days for a book they would be promoting on oprah.
I stayed up for 2 days to complete it and he never memtioned the site on the show. We got 5 orders, the rest went though Amazon. Don’t remember, but I think he was not allowed to plug the site.

Ya . . most likely they have some rules about linking from the site, but not from the e-book. The potential was there.

That surprises me. It really does. Methinks that she’s gotten a little too comfortable with her success.
