Bid4Prizes.com Rocks!!!

I wish I had thought of Bid4Prizes, it is such a cool concept. The website has really popular prizes up for grabs and the twist is that the lowest bid wins the prize. So this is a bit of a hard thing to grasp until you think about it for a minute. The site works like an auction site except the product goes to the lowest unique bid. I would like to see the statistics on a few of these auctions. There must be thousands of people who bid one cent, thinking to themselves that nobody else will bid that because they will think that everybody else will bid that. Sorry for making your head hurt.

Bid4Prizes.com has cash and cars and all that exciting stuff, but I just got hooked when I saw the Kayak that is going to be awarded in a few days.

The Pleather Hat Gang

Despite the degree to which Britney Spears has ceased to be a plausible role model, young image-obsessed girls still take fashion cues from her and others like her.

Or it may be possible that a jaded, slightly evil marketing machine puts that crap in the stores and kids just like to buy stuff.

I occasionally have to pick pleather hats up off the floor of my child's room. I know what I am talking about. When your kids are dressing in layers to go out with their friends even though it's 26 degrees Celsius outside should be a hint that they have an inside layer of clothing that you might not approve of.

8-HR Energy Pills

Energy drinks are becoming very popular. Most of them contain water, sugar, caffeine and some herbal extracts that have an impact on alertness.

Paying a premium for the water when all you really want is the active ingredients doesn't make much sense. Also, you don't really need all that sugar. You can now get pills that are a blend of caffeine and herbs that act in a synergistic way to give you a great energy boost. I don't know if you have read the warnings on RedBull cans, in some countries you are warned against consuming more than 500ml per day. If you choose to Get More Energy When YOU Order Mr Energy 8-HR energy pills!, you should follow directions carefully. 400 mg of caffeine is considered to be a safe daily dose.

Student Hands in Britney Letter In English Lit. Class

A student in Lancestershire, Maine blatantly plagarized the 880 word letter penned by Britney Spears. The professor of his creative writing class though it was the most brilliant satire he had ever seen. He gave it an A-. It would have been an A+, but she used the wrong your a few times. Your going to have to expect that in this day and age. I actually expect the contraction for you are to be changed to simply your when the OED is next updated. NOOB will be included as a real word then to.

Mint Credit Cards, Curiously Low Interest Rates

If you are considering your options as you prepare to apply for a credit card, you should take a fresh look at Mint credit cards. Besides having a typically attractive introductory offer, they also have just recently lowered their typical APR.

I am going to just run through a random list of good points about this card. You get 24 hour customer service. Your card will be recognized at 24 million location around the World, anywhere you see the Mastercard sign. You do not have to pay any annual fee. You get a cool unique looking card, it's the only card available in a non-standard shape in the UK. You get an additional card to share with someone close to you.

Britney Writes an 800 Word Essay

I am not going to reprint the 880 words that are addressed to her fans on Britney's Official Website. The first thing I did was save the whole thing. I know that there is somebody in the organization that is building up the courage so suggest it's removal from the site.

The letter is offers a wealth of telling phrases. Britney is in total denial about things, she refuses to take any responsibility.

I think she may be a bit better of than she was the last time she wrote a big letter. At least she actually talks about her kids in this one.

If the letter is gone and you NEED to know what it says, leave a comment and I'll consider publishing it.

Aapka has Great Video Content

I personally think that many scenes out of Bollywood are sexier than American movies or music videos. The constraints of the censorship in that particular market have resulted in some very inventive approaches to conveying sensuality.

If you like watching selected clips of Bollywood, whether it's for the steamy parts or the ROFLMAO funny bits, AapkaVideo.com is the place to find them. It is site with free video uploading that caters to the Indian and South Asian market.

As an incentive to users, Aapka is awarding an iPod to the users with each month's most viewed video.

I would personally recommend checking out some of the music videos on this site. If you are watching American television you are being spoon fed homogenized, pureed wonderbread. It's time you went out for some Indian food.

Tomorrow is Talk Like Bob Dylan Day!!!

May 24th is B day for old Bob. Britney has been known to do impressions. Maybe she could actually lip sync to one of Dylan's classics at a show tomorrow night.

She was workin in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
Is just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, dont I know your name?
I muttered somethin underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.

Father's Day Gifts

I always ask to just have a day off from my responsibilities as my father's day gift. After seeing the Father's Day Gifts that are available at DelightfulDeliveries.com I may change my mind and ask for some stuff. The gift basket in the picture has sauces and beverages that are flavoured with some of the most popular liquors, like Jack Daniels.

How about a membership to the BEER OF THE MONTH club?

Personally, I have decided on my beer brand at this point. I'd rather have a big shipment of brownies. I guess my belly will expand with either gift. It's the thought that counts.

Another YouTube Experiment

This is pretty random. I think it falls under fair use parameters. I will find out soon enough I guess.

In a related topic, I always thought the Bare Naked Ladies were exaggerating when they made Yoko Ono noises. I heard and old recording recently and it turns out they were doing a dead on impression.

Britney Spears Off A Plane

This story is so simple to report. Britney was on a plane that was preparing for takeoff. She decided that she did not want to go on that flight. The reason that she gave was that there were no leather seats on the plane. This could be the reason or it could be the first thing that she thought of as a fake reason. Because she felt that the media would try to make a story out of whatever she had as a real reason.

I am glad that she was allowed to get off.

There is no word as to whether Samuel Jackson was on the flight.

A DUI Lawyer That Wins

If you live a lifestyle where there is even the remotest chance that you will be stopped by the police and charged with a DUI offense, you should have the name and number of a good lawyer on hand ahead of time. Getting legal counsel as quickly as possible is vital to getting the best possible outcome for yourself. This San Diego DUI Lawyer has a victory page
that highlights the best case scenarios that really do happen. They only happen when you receive the best defense. Keep in mind that in the face of a properly carried out arrest, victory can have a few different meanings. If you were undeniably over the legal limit for blood alcohol, you may consider yourself lucky to stay out of jail and keep your driver's license.

What this lawyers website delves into is the many arguments that can be made concerning the validity of that number they come up with for your blood alcohol at the time. People have walked away from a case because the lawyer was able to point to fresh paint in the room where a breath test was given as a possible contaminant.

Having a word with your lawyer as soon as possible after you are detained can help you avoid accidentally saying or doing things that jeopardize your case as well.

Nightclub Injuries

People drink alcohol when they are out at clubs. Alcohol is a drug that affect the central nervous system and can impair balance and judgment. You can even lose consciousness after drinking an excessive amount of alcohol.

I think they should start designing rooms to reduce the incidence of injuries related to clubbing. The basement bar concept is a pretty good idea, falling up stairs on your way out is much less serious than falling down stairs.

Sorting Through Credit Card Offers

I get quite a few unsolicited credit card offers. I can only imagine how many offers come to someone who is more enthusiastic about buying stuff.

I got my first credit card before the deluge of unsolicited mail started arriving. I don't know if my financial activities somehow triggered all the credit card offers or if everybody is getting them now. I actually have all that stuff coming to a post office box that my mother-in-law checks for us. She has a wood stove at her house so she doesn't mind all the extra mail.

So if you are younger than me and you don't already have a few cards, you might be wondering what you need to know before applying for a card. CardGuide.co.uk has some helpful articles including one that has some tips to consider before applying for a credit card. Here is the list, the article links to details about each item. You need to worry about Introductory Rate, Balance Transfers, Annual membership fees, Statement period & interest free loans, APR, Minimum monthly repayments and also Loyalty Programmes.

YouTube Experiment Part 1

Edit: I removed the video. It was very stupid. I just bought a webcam. I am a webcam NOOB.

This short video about nothing with an out of focus body part as a thumbnail got 40 hits in a day. I have videos that I put lots of work into that have fewer hits.

I am going to experiment with various approaches to YouTubing.

Find Cheap Hotels

Using a website like HotelReservations.com to find Cheap Hotels in the cities that you are going to visit is fast and easy. The functionality of the site is impressive. Your first step is to select the language and currency that you want to use when comparing your options. That's an easy decision. After that, you can either browse or do targeted searches for hotels, car rentals, vacation rentals and flights.

I am going to try it out for review purposes, even though I am not going anywhere. I will imagine that I want to go to Vegas in November.

I found a flight to LAS no problem. Several airlines came up on my search, I had it set to show the cheapest on first.

Now for the room. I was totally spoiled for choice with hotels rooms in Las Vegas. I think I will have to find an independent source of review for the cheaper options. I have been disappointed with some cheap hotels in the past. My advice is to look for one that is new or recently remodeled. Also, try to avoid ones that are in the middle of an expansion. They can have signs up everywhere apologizing for my inconvenience, but they don't really make me feel any better about staying there. I actually ended up staying at a hotel that had recently had severe hurricane damage. I a way I was glad to be helping them keep business going as usual, but the hammering kinda sucked.

Next I want to have a car so I can drive up and down the strip trying to get into a scene from 'Cops' or maybe 'CSI'. I think I'll go with Payless. They have really good shoes, so the cars should be alright as well.

I plan to win big in Vegas and upgrade for my return trip. Every search I did on HotelReservations.com gave me a variety of options to choose from.

Tiny Bubbles

How have sales of Cristal been going since the controversy resulting from Jean-Claude Rouzaud's comment made in answer to a question about the unsolicited product placements by rap artists?

“That’s a good question, but what can we do? We can’t forbid people from buying it. I’m sure Dom Pérignon or Krug would be delighted to have their business.”

There were a few artists who went as far as to blur out the labels in videos that had already been made featuring the expensive Champagne.

Some recording artists have reportedly reduced their bubbly intake as a result of recovering from alcoholism rather than boycotting.

Seduce A Celebrity

I am going to try to encapsulate the online reality program Seduce a Celebrity in this first paragraph, because if you are like me, you will click on a link and not come back here for a while. The most important part of the concept is the participation of a desirable woman. Actress Mirelly Taylor has me smitten. I hadn't heard about her until today, but I have been a bit obsessed ever since this morning. I found a great video interview of her with her costar from Kiss Me Again, which I have decided I want to see ASAP. The premise of the show is that any GoFish member can compete for her attention. Users vote on uploaded videos that are made in response to tasks that Mirelly gives out on the program. Eventually SHE will choose from the top three. I like this part, letting voters choose who she dates would be wrong.

I am not going to compete because my heart belongs to another, but Mirelly has captured my imagination at least. If I had a bit more confidence, I would consider uploading some videos related to this show. I would have to bow out gracefully if I was in danger of being chosen. Making women fall in love with me is one of my favorite hobbies, but I only do it at home.

Seduce a Celeb on GoFish.com will come together over the next 14 weeks. Go check out the Free videos at GoFish.com.

Terra Jole is Awesome

This is just a very small sample of what entertainer Terra Jole has to offer.

On behalf of human beings everywhere, I would like to apologize for the rude drunk laughing lady in the vicinity of the cheap camera phone. Terra Jole does not seem to be lip syncing.
