Fireworks and the 4th

Technology Source No Comments »

Well I am sitting in my bedroom now and it’s about 10 at night. I can hear fireworks going off in full effect as the people in my neighborhood are celebrating the 4th of July. Thanks to all the troops and their families that are currently serving in the military and for all those brave men and women that have served in the past. I salute you all and know that we can enjoy the fireworks on this day, due to all your hard work and sacrifice.

I think fireworks seem to go higher, brighter, and louder every year. It’s amazing the way they create those little boogers. I wouldn’t even know where to begin, if I had to create some sort of firework. I just hope it isn’t too dry out there and no fires get started from everyone shooting off their fireworks.

I hear the military has some sort of “firework” (if you know more about this special weapon please chime in) that can create daylight during the night. It is something they can shoot up in the air and will show them where the enemy is at. For anyone that has seen this (which I haven’t) they say it’s amazing at how this type of firework can just brighten everything up and it last for several minutes. I have seen the older war movies where the enemy troops move across a field and our troops shoot one of these up in the air and it exposes them easy for the troops to begin firing at them with their guns. It looks pretty neat on the movies when they do this, but they say the modern technology of these things is really amazing now at just how long and how big of an area it will light up. I wouldn’t mind seeing one of these U.S. Military weapons shot off on the 4th of July, so I could see what everyone is talking about. Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

Back To School Shopping?

Consumer source No Comments »

I know, I know it’s a little early to think about that, but it’s never too early to think about saving money. The fourth of July is among us and we will all be taking a break from our normal routines and enjoying the parades, cookouts, and fireworks that this mid-summer holiday brings.

Now if you work at a coupon printing place, you might be working through this one day holiday event. Just make sure they pay you for holiday pay! I know this because it’s not long after the 4th of July is when we see all the clothing retailers pull out the specials. They start right after the 4th so anybody that is returning from their vacation or getting ready to get an early start on the back to school shopping can do so. So our televisions will be filled with the back to school sales and our mailboxes will be flooded with all the deals from the local retail stores in our area.

You can save money by doing your shopping early or really late. Some of the best deals can be found right after the 4th of July. Then some retailers will have disappointing numbers for the back to school shopping and will cut even better deals on their already marked down prices. So if you don’t shop in July, you might want to wait to the first weekend after school has started back. Your kids might not have the new threads to sport the first week of school, but you will be able to buy them even more clothes if they can hold out that first week. They will be sporting their new threads the 2nd week of school while most of the other kids will start repeating their fashion appearances. So if you can convince your kids to wear the old clothes for a week, you will really like the after school start sales, when the really, really good deals can be found then.

Now my school days have long been over and gone, but I need to do some shopping. I think I am going to hold out for a couple of more months, so I can take advantage of the “school season has started sales”. It’s not always a guarantee that these specials will come, but it is a guarantee that the retailers try to earn every penny they can for this time of the year.

2 Blogs + 1 Great Blogger = Reading Entertainment!

Its none other than my buddy Tina! Well she might not consider me a buddy, but I do her (Hey Tina…..IT’S CHRIS!….LOL). I know Tina from the PayPerPost Forum that she is very active on. I have heard her say that she stays online a lot, and I would have to say so, considering she has the time to keep up with 2 blogs and to offer helpful suggestions, questions, and comments over at the PPP Forum so regularly. Now I live just south of Tina in a small area we call the USA. Yep…she’s a Canadian gal and I also noticed from Tina Silva’s Blog that she is also a Scorpio. I am too! I’m on up the calendar a bit though, November 8th here, so I guess that makes her 10 days older than me? No we don’t need the year to determine that, only the months thank you!

Now if Tina doesn’t consider me a bud, then its ok I’m only using her to get to her dad anyways! I see good ol dad spent a pretty penny so Tina could enjoy the luxuries of a 5 star resort. Go Tina’s Dad! I am available for adoption sir? I’m not as talented as Tina, because I know she creates those free wordpress themes, but I bet I could shovel that Canadian snow better than her?

If anyone wants to know more about Tina then just go check out her Luv-Duv.com Blog. You can also take a peek in at the PayPerPost Forums, where Tina uses her real name as her user name there. So she’s real easy to find! Also, if anyone knows about the adoption processes of Canada and the USA, I would love to hear more information on that.

Alex Has a Message For All You Gals Out There!

Alex YouTube 1 Comment »

Yes, I’m talking about you all! I think Alex covers a very important topic here and all the girls of the world need to listen up! Alex even shows us her real look, which I think fits her perfect! She also shows her amazing versatility and the ability to give you so many different looks in this one 9 minute video. We always see those movie actors and actresses that star in more than 1 movie. The really good ones can change their whole look and make you think of a totally different character. Sylvester Stallone seems like two different people when he is Rambo or Rocky. Alex has a little of that Stallone magic going on in this video, as she shows different characters and it’s not like your watching the same person.

ALEX COVERS THOSE 6 WORDS

Hey…..nothing wrong with the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin! Two great bands, with one just having the most requested song of all time for radio play (Stairway To Heaven). The YouTube sensation shows us once again, her abilities to adapt to situations and even shows us that she has a little director in her. Her creative outfit changes, that happen in the blink of the eye as we all got to watch this video. I know it must have took some time and effort for Alex to put this video together.

If you have been watching Alex’s videos here at Single Source Writing, then where do you see this talented teen from Mexico headed? Do you see her on MTV or VH1 one day singing in a video? Does she have that actress thing going on, where she might be in a movie, sit com, or maybe a daytime soap opera? I think she has the talent and abilities to go in either direction, or even both if she wanted to. Now if it’s up to her, then she’s going to be the girl on your music videos playing her guitar and rocking the show out! I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone snatch this teen up for promotional purposes. I can see her doing commercials for fashion, automobiles, or maybe even some breakfast cereal. I haven’t quite put my finger on it yet, but I think she’s going to be the face of a product one day. Whatever product it is, they might want to go ahead and include some tunes with it, because I don’t see her giving up this music gig anytime soon!

Ok……..I have to go now, planning a small trip tomorrow and I just realized that I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR!

Cherokee, North Carolina

Uncategorized No Comments »

I might be going to Cherokee and do some gambling on the Indian Reservation for the 4th of July. I’m not sure what my buddies have decided yet. I have never been there, and I live about 2 hours away from the casino up there. I’m looking forward to it, if I do get the chance to go. I haven’t done anything exciting lately, so just to go up there for a night sounds fun right now. One of my friend’s will get off work tomorrow around 5:30 in the evening and if we are going we would leave when he gets off of work. So we would probably go up there gamble all night long and just drive back home early that morning. So should be back home on the 4th of July to take in any local fireworks shows that might be going on.

I will be sure to update this story if I get lucky and win big. If you don’t see me update this story, then you know I just wasted money like everybody else does at the casinos every day. I’m not going to go crazy or nothing. I figured I would just take $100 and leave the debit card at home. So I will probably spend 20 bucks on food and tips for the waitresses, and would lose 80 at the most to those slot machines. They don’t have the dealers and card tables in Cherokee, North Carolina and that’s more my style of playing, but who knows maybe I can win a few hundred bucks and have a night at of the house. Happy 4th everyone!

Anyone for a game of pool? Pool is something that I have done my whole life. I been in pool tournaments and even made small trips to play in some of the bigger ones. I have learned a lot in my days of playing pool. Keep chalk on your stick and watch your back! Just a little humor for anyone that has spent time around the pool tables.

It’s a lot of fun to play pool for fun, money, or even trophies. I have met a lot of people throughout my years of playing. Everyone has their own twist on how to play and how they go about it. I can give you one piece of advice I learned a long time ago, and it still holds true today and for tomorrow too. Now most people when they can do something well, they will naturally let you know about it over some point and time. It’s not true with pool players! It’s actually a cardinal sin to let me know that you play well. It’s nothing you have to worry about, and it’s not a secret you really have to try and keep.

This is what I have learned from pool players, and trust me, I know this. I have played against thousands of other pool players, so I know a little bit about what I’m saying here. Here’s some advice you need to remember. If anyone and I mean anyone ever tells you they are “good” at pool. Then don’t be scared of them one bit! Now that’s saying that you can play the game pretty good yourself and your not someone that just picked up a stick a year or two ago. The really great pool players never tell you they can play pool good. About 90 percent of people that have shot a few games in their life will tell you they are “good” or they play “pretty good”. These people have never scared me and most of the times it was these people that paid my bills for me.

Now I’m nothing special when it comes to being a good player (fear that statement, because I’m not saying I’m real good) but I have learned over the years how to maximize my talents. Just because you can beat the best player in the house, doesn’t mean you should just go prove it to everybody. Sure you might be the man of the night, and even become popular at that particular pool hall or game room. In the long run you will just be hurting yourself. Play smart, and always try to get a spot when your playing somebody. A “spot” is a way of having an extra advantage in winning the game.

If I “spot” you the 8 ball and we are playing a game of 9 ball. Then you don’t have to make the 9 ball to win. If you make a clean shot and the 8 or 9 goes in, then you win. So getting a “spot” is a good thing. I can’t tell you how many times a player that was weaker than me, was the one giving me the “spot”. I used pool for financial purposes and I left the fame to other people.

Now if you are someone that wants to be good and get a chance to play in those big tournaments. Then you never want to let up. Play strong all the time and do a little something each day to try and make your pool game better. I actually had the opportunity to watch Johnny Archer play a lot, and seeing a professional in person is amazing. He use to practice at a place I use to go to off of Bells Ferry Road in the Southern Portion of Cherokee County. He was a sight to be hold watching him play in person! You can appreciate it more in person, than you can on television.

Paris Hilton Tells Us the Truth

Uncategorized No Comments »

If you seen Paris Hilton on Larry King Live then you know she spilled her guts out to America. She really gave a heart-felt interview with Larry King and it’s good to know she let it all out. I wasn’t aware that she wasn’t living off her family’s money. She makes her own money and she works very hard to do it. No it’s true, she even says it in her interview. You can watch for yourself and see how Paris Hilton tells the truth about everything. If there is anything that she says that is not true, then a number will come up and we will count any thing she might have not been honest with us about.

So she made a few boo boos. 15 wasn’t that bad? I’m sure other convicted drunk drivers would have scored much higher than Paris did.

Going To Rome

Travel Source No Comments »

Are you planning a trip to Rome? I’m sad to say that I’m not, but would love to go and visit Rome some day. A city filled with so much history and not to mention all the good food in Rome. You might think it would cost a lot to go, but it’s not really that bad. Going to Rome is more affordable than you might think it is. If you do a little searching you can find some good deals on airfares and you won’t have any problems finding Cheap hotels in Rome. So if Rome has seemed like one of those places you would have never been able to afford to go to, you might be surprised just how affordable it is! When you do go, be sure to report back to me and let me know about how the Vatican looked! I’m sure you will want to visit the legendary Coliseum too! I think the Coliseum would be the first place I went to, when I got there.

Do You Use Coupons at the Store?

Consumer source No Comments »

I was just wondering how many people took advantage of coupons in the supermarket. At my household we get coupons every week. I usually will go through them and take out the ones for the restaurants. It helps to save a buck or two on all the fast food I go out and eat. Now I don’t do the grocery shopping at my house, but if I did I’m not sure I would take the coupons to the supermarket with me.

If you add up all those 10, 25, 50 cent coupons that you could save on, and factor in those that sometime save you dollars, then it adds up to a nice little chunk of change at the end of the year. I’m just wondering if the time spent and maybe the embarrassment you might have at the supermarket would be worth it. I think I would feel a little embarrassed if I handed the cashier like 10 coupons to go through and take off of my purchases.

Some people that are waiting in line behind you, might not like having to wait the extra time for you to save those few pennies either. I know I don’t like to get behind someone in the convenience stores when they are cashing in a lot of them scratch off lottery tickets. Some people will take like 20 or 30 of them in and cash them all in at once. It can slow a store down big time, especially if they only have one cashier. So is it worth it in the long run to clip all those coupons?

11 Questions That Alex Answers

Alex YouTube No Comments »

Alex takes a break from singing and writes down 11 questions that she answers for the YouTubers. She also starts campaigning early to be a president of a country. I have heard that it’s it never too early to start making your bid for a presidency, so I think Alex gets off to a good early start in this video. This video is a refreshing way of a youth describing things in the world and how she would like to change things. I’m not sure how Alex came up with these 11 questions, but she didn’t make them easy on her self, and she does a great job of putting her self on display for everyone to see. I don’t think I would have the guts or courage to answer these questions as truthfully and honestly as Alex does in this video. So BIG kudos goes out to Alex for tackling these 11 questions!!!
