How to move efficiently 101

If you need to move into a new place here's some things you should remember...

1. Pack whatever is important last so you can remember where you packed it. Example: your toothbrush. (I packed my toothbrush first and didn't get to brush my teeth for until I was done unpacking all my things) ugh.

2. Pack things together as they belong together. This keeps everything organized. Example: If u keep all your shirts together in the closet, then pack them together. If your clothes are on hangers, then grab a bunch of hangers together and put them in a garbage bag just poke a hole to get the hooks through. then tie the ends of the garbage bag together so the items are secure.

3. Consider the amount of storage space your new place has. This will come useful when you are putting things away and you finally realize you have no space for all the extra stuff you have. If u move to a place with with more storage space, you lucked out!

4. Take a break! Moving takes all day maybe several days depending on how much you're moving. Make sure you give yourself a break so that you can get back to work efficiently. After all that hard work you deserve a big lunch break!

5. Last but not least, if you can afford it hire movers! So much more efficient if someone else does the work for u. If you can't afford movers see if any of your friends are willing to volunteer to help you.

Trying to put together a blog with your friends is not an easy task.

1. You have to Come up with the idea and layout for the blog. What friends you want involved. And who is this blog audience? Who are you targeting as a blog follower.

2. You have to decide who's in charge or what. If you're head of the blog, then you hand out assignments. One person can be in charge or creative while the other of posting articles. This is simply up to you as head of the blog.

A word on Productivity Part 1

I love to be productive. But most of times that's not the case. I'm a big day dreamer so I start daydreaming while I should be getting things done.

After I catch myself doing this, I stop and try to accomplish the task (such as getting some articles done for my blog). I may Be productive for an 1/2 hr to an hour before or less depending on the day. Before I get distracted again.

I will research how to be productive and come back and deliver the fruits of my productivity. Ill bring a list of supplies that have helped me on my journey to becoming productive.

Super Bowl 2012

Five years ago the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, this year's Super Bowl was the opportunity for the New England Patriots to get their revenge. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. A game winning drive including an amazing sideline catch by Mario Manningham helped the Giants stun the Patriots 21-17.  Kelly Clarkson began the festivities with a rousing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. International superstar Madonna was the halftime entertainment as she performed some of her greatest hits such as Vogue and Like A Prayer. Although Madonna was the halftime entertainment, the real superstar of the game was the Eli Manning as he passed for 296 yards and one touchdown but no pass was bigger than to Manningham. Eli walked away with his second MVP in as many Super Bowls.

Review for "Turn Me On" Video David Guetta & Nicki Minaj

Wow. At first I was like "ooh boy.. here we go. the futuristic theme again."  Every video seems to be like people want to look like their living in year 2050 or like they are living in outer space.  I started with this thinking and almost turned off the video, but curiosity kept me watching.  Then Nicki comes to life while David Guetta is acting like the mad scientist that made her.  The video then shows that shes a robot that looks very human and not robot at all.  She steps out into the town to where everyone else definitely looks like a mannequin.  Now I thought, "oh boy, now shes going to take her clothes to take her clothes off or there will a fight between her and the other mannequin robots." But actually I was pleasantly surprised at the fact they mannequin came looking for David Guetta so he can make them human.  They started ripping his clothes off which i thought was different for him since he always seems to be a background character in all his videos.  End of the story, he ends up being a robot himself.  and the instead of seeing Nicki Minaj naked, I saw Ken doll like male robots and female robots naked. 

Verdict: pleasantly surprised however no need to watch the video a second time.
