Grab Life By The Balls

I made it a habit not to get too personal on this blog, for good reason. Keeping my personal life private is a rather important thing to me but today this blog is going to serve as an outlet. Throughout life people come and go, good things begin and end. While struggling to grasp a meaning for these things I [...]

Earning Cash Back from Big Crumbs

I have been an avid user of cashback websites on the Internet for the past year and I wish I had known about them earlier. Sites like BigCrumbs pay you to do the shopping you would have ordinarily done online! There is absolutely no catch. All you have to do is click the merchant’s link through your BigCrumbs page and [...]

Eminem & Jay-Z Concert, Comerica Park Detroit

I was fortunate to attend the Eminem & Jay Z concert at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan on Friday September 3rd and had an absolutely fantastic time! The stage was enormous and was made up of five giant screens that displayed montages and live video of the performers. B.O.B. went on stage at 7:30pm and Eminem didn’t conclude his encore [...]

My Verizon Smartphone Dilemma – Droid X vs Droid 2

My “New Every Two” promotional discount becomes available tomorrow and I am seriously torn between the Droid X and the Droid 2 for my next smartphone. I currently have a Blackberry Pearl, and I am sure I will never use a Blackberry again after this upgrade. The Droid X seems to outwit the Droid 2 in most areas of performance, [...]

Dr Dre and the Beats Laptop

I got into a discussion regarding the recent expansion of Dr. Dre’s speaker line expanding into Laptops. I was quite surprised to hear, and later read, the claims being made about this new laptop’s sound capabilities. I have never owned a laptop that even comes close to producing anything considered quality sound. Ever try listening to bass-heavy music or watch [...]

Shortsightedness in Wake of Gulf Oil Disaster

It is saddening to see how quickly people’s opinions and actions have shifted in the wake of the Gulf oil spill. For instance, students, professors and the general public are demanding that UC Berkeley sever ties with BP because of the spill.

Bing Cashback Comes to an End

July 30, 2010 was the final day for Microsoft’s cashback search engine program, Bing Cashback. I was sad to see it go because using Bing resulted in many great deals for me. The best deal I scored using Bing was a brand new Playstation 3 on eBay that I received $102.50 in cashback. I’m assuming that the program was not [...]

So Bad – Eminem (Prod. by Dr. Dre)

The new Eminem album, Recovery, is one of his best to date.  The sound is much different from any other record Marshall Mathers has put out, but the heavy sampling and lyrical prowess of the best selling rapper of all time shines through and creates an enjoyable, head bouncing experience. The track “So Bad” is by far my favorite on [...]
