Tanning

     Alright this is for all you out there who think tanning makes you look better during the winter because everyone is apparently ugly when their normal pale skin color. I understand it is fall everyone and you want your skin to match the orange of the pumpkins and leaves changing and that's great and all good for you having that kind of spirit, but is it worth it? I am not sure why this topic bothers me so much but I feel that it is such a shallow act and just in the end stupid. Your gonna be twice as wrinkly as you age which last time I checked is not sexy and probably contract skin cancer or melanoma and no melanoma is not a sexy word for sexified. The fact is that tanning in the end is not worth the risk, just like smoking sure you may feel cool and think you look good now, but life is more than just birth to 30 years of age you have a lot more to go through. I am not trying to bash anyone for doing it and if it is what really makes you fell good about yourself and you don't care about the consequences then knock yourself out and go tanning everyday. Just make sure your not doing it blindly because it's something to take seriously and really won't benefit you in anyway when you older. So make the decision not to go tanning and get rid of that orange glow your rocking and one day I will say "Orange you glad you listened to me".

iPhone Vs. Droid Vs. Samsung Galaxy S3

     Well the topic that has for the last couple years has plagued the world. The iPhone vs. The droid vs. The Samsung Galaxy S3 and soon to go against the Windows 8 phone as well. After reading some reviews here it the bottom line on the iPhone 5, it is a fantastic phone but it is a phone that should have been out since 2010 with Apple finally integrating long since needed features such as a bigger screen, flat body and finally 4G is capable with the iPhone 5. The processing speeds are still not as fast as some droids or the windows 8 phones which according to statistics should have more processing power and speed. However, the iPhone 5 is a beautiful phone and the average person who wants complete and simple usability will be pleased as it is made to be easily understood without any problems. If you are looking for a wider screen you should check out the Samsung Galaxy S3 which as been a huge success for Samsung as of late with a beautiful sleek look and raw processing power which makes it fast but the battery is not that of the Droid Razr Maxx which is one of the top phones for battery life right now and the way to go for smart phones if you are looking for longevity. The upgrades Apple has added are as followed: new noise cancelling technology, as somewhat upgraded camera as they are trying to keep up with other phones, they have implemented a turn by turn navigation system and added a smarter Siri. One issue has been so far that the maps in the iPhone are buggy and not working properly still however so be aware of that even though I'm sure it will be fixed in an upcoming software update. The only other issue that seems to be coming up with the iPhone is the fact that all of the cables are going to have to be new, say goodbye to your old iPod docks because the iPhone 5 will not fit and my biggest problem with this is that it seems to be a scheme for more money and everyone will have to buy new accessories for their phones which is a bit of a bummer. After reading many reviews the iPhone will not be a technological breakthrough as the iPhone 4S was or the original iPhone, but none the less it is a good phone and an upgrade of what current Apple customers have. I personally will never be an iPhone customer, but I enjoy my tech especially the power that is being implemented into the new droids and windows phones that almost all have bigger screens and unfortunately have made most of the updates that the iPhone is not just getting. I know I concentrated on mostly the iPhone only because I feel as though is relates to the largest demographic. In the end I would say the iPhone for the everyday person who wants a phone that will do what they want and do it well most of the time, it is a consistent phone that you can count on however. If you want processing speed, bigger screens, higher quality cameras and just overall a more technologically advanced phone the iPhone may not be the phone for you. I guess all in all phones have come a long way and no one company is really in the lead in the smart phone world for now, so as of now you just have to choose what phone you feel is right for you.

What's the Rush?

     In everyday life everyone seems to be in a rush, for those of you who live in New Jersey and drive on our roads everyday you know what I mean. The speed limit seems to be more of a guideline rather than a law anymore. People beeping when someone doesn't go in the first second of the light going green, running yellow lights that we obviously won't make and riding up so far on someones butt that they can see you picking your nose in their rear view mirror. I am guilty of all of these things I drive like a maniac, but I'm just wondering... whats the rush? Why am I rushing to work, school, or even to go out on a Saturday night, will it really make all the difference if I'm there 5 minutes earlier? Or maybe we are just riding the Pennsylvania driver in the left lane who refuses to pass anyone. I'm just saying everyone needs to relax a little bit because we are stressing each other out! Two days ago I was rushing around and of course the driver in front of me rolls down his window pulls to the side of me and begins to scream with his special finger up. Yea, these things happen, but I probably am to blame or maybe the guy was just having a bad day. If it's such a big deal maybe leave a couple minutes early so your not freaking out with road rage when the person in front of you refuses to go above the speed limit or just maybe stop driving all together and save our ozone layer. Being rushed is a part of life and will always happen, but maybe take your time for once and do it in your own time not worrying about what might happen if it's not done as fast as possible or your 5 minutes late because in all reality it's not that serious. So take a chill pill, quit the rush and get your relax on.

Release the frustration

     So I tend to be a person that holds a lot in especially when it comes to my emotions, which I am sure many of you can relate to. My question is how can we release this? People say, well you have to talk to someone about it, but why on earth would anyone want to hear about my emotions? For some reason that just doesn't click in my head although they may actually want to listen. I feel like through this blog I have finally found a way to trick my mind into perhaps expressing a bit of how I feel, even though the topics may not be important I feel that all of you can relate to me and I thank you for reading. I guess I'm just telling you all that it is good to have a sort of release whether it be taking our a gun and shooting a pillow, jumping up and down screaming at the top of your lungs (if your a 5 year old haha) or maybe just talking to someone. Get that frustration out because otherwise you might as well be a ticking time bomb and hopefully nobody you love is around when you go off because it won't be pretty. So next time someone says what's wrong just tell them because even if they are only asking to be nice that's their mistake and now it's their time to hear all about it!So don't let anyone silence you and seriously, find something that works for you and use it because if not that frustration will get out and you won't be in as much control as you could and you may just regret it, I know I have before.

Unions...Seriously?

     So this morning on my way out for the day I noticed that there was a group of union workers standing outside of a construction site with a giant blow up rat with signs up about how they deserved the construction work over the privately owned company. So let me get this straight the person building didn't want to hire the group that costs more money, takes twice as long and works half as hard; seems to make sense to me. I am not speaking against the workers of the union keep in mind but rather what they stand for. They think that they should earn more money because they are part of an organization, in turn them making more money also  makes them lazier because if you're making more money why would you want the job to take less time. Everyone has driven past those construction sites where there is one guy working and 6 guys standing around having their 7th lunch time of the day and no one can tell them to get back to work because they are union and they get twice as many breaks as normal construction workers, it's ridiculous. Please keep in mind I am not speaking of the policeman, teachers and firefighters that work hard to make this country great, but the lazy many who gives these unions a bad name and the rich unions that do not want to help out the private unions. In America right now many of our jobs are going overseas and for this very reason, the workers in America are much more expensive in America. We continue to wonder why our economy is in the dirt and jobs are so hard to find and that is for the simple reason that we are no longer the country that believes hard work is necessary to become successful and that money should simply be handed to us for the most minimal amount of work. I could rant about this all day, but I think you get the idea. It's time to wake up America and work for our economy to rise again rather than blaming it on any one man this is a country that came into existence because of hard work not from high pay rolls and lazy attitudes.

Greenbay Packers Vs. Seattle Seahawks

     Well it's the time of the year we all love Football Season, but slowly our year is being ruined due to replacement referees and greedy pro football refs on strike looking for more money. The integrity of the NFL has become more and more questionable as each game plays and their is no better example than what happened last night Monday 9/25/2012 which will be known as one of the most controversial calls of all time in the Greenbay Packers Vs. the Seattle Seahawks. All day long I have watched replays over and over about what happened and countless people are saying the refs got it wrong, and it is becoming universally upsetting. I am a Greenbay Packers fan so perhaps I have a bit of a biased opinion but over and over we watch how each of these professional players and reporters are saying that it is ridiculous how the referees called the game and ruined it for the Packers. It's time to wake up NFL! Your all making so much money yet you can't even call a fair game and as we watch week after week we will continue to be upset and disappointed that one of the biggest games in America is becoming unfortunately terrible. No matter what kind of fan you are it's time to send a message because this is getting ridiculous and many are not passionate about this topic but for those of you who are you know what I'm talking about. Let's get our NFL back to the way it should be so the professional players can give us games and display their skill without the luck of the back-up referees calling in their favor! This is not a hate message to anyone, but rather a message that things need to go back to the way they should be so we can all once again see integrity in our sport.

Love is not a chore

     Most people out there at some point and time in life are looking for that life changing relationship where their first kiss will be there last and they no longer have to wonder whether they are going to have to go life alone. When looking for this part of life many of us desire we tend to look in the wrong places though and we find relationships that just turn out not be for us. Working hard to make the other person happy in a relationship is not a chore though, when it comes down to it your everyday life, activities and just how you are should make that person happy. Time and time people put themselves through hell trying to hold onto something that is not there with a person that just does not get them or has no respect for them, but we are so obsessed with finding "love" we can't see what's really going on. We need these experiences to learn and develop as people to make sure we don't make the same mistakes in relationships for the future. I have been fortunate or unfortunate enough to have every bad experience I can think of and now I find myself in one of the best relationships of my life. Just by me acting like myself I can make her one of the happiest girls in the world and that's what it comes down to being yourself and enjoying the one who enjoys you for being you. There can always be effort put forth into a relationship to make each other happy but it should never feel like a chore or something you have not found what you are looking for, because chores should manage your everyday not your love life. Find the person who wants to be with you for you and not for what you can do for them.
