Today is March 28th, 2008 and this is Alex’s Birthday! The YouTube Sensation has reached her sweet sixteen and it’s been fun watching all her videos from when she turned 15 on YouTube until now. After seeing all her great videos over at YouTube for the last year, I can’t wait to see what songs we might get to hear her sing next.

 I know she has been very excited and I bet she is glad this day finally got here.  I do have another video with the YouTube Sensation; where she was talking about guilty pleasures and will share that one with you. So we get to take a break from hearing the YouTube Star singing and just listening to her talk about guilty pleasures.

Guilty Pleasures

Now you know some of Alex’s guilty pleasures!

We will all get to see what difference a year makes and see what type of musical talents she shows us as a sixteen year old now. I’m sure a 16 year old girl will be busy and won’t have a lot of time to upload many videos while going to school right now, but I still have plenty of Alex’s videos to put up while only being a young 15 year old lady. So be sure to watch for those as I will be getting them up as soon as possible.

Have a great day today Alex!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

OK…..now in my best singing voice:

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Dear Alex,

Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

OK…..now blow out the candles! LOL

Happy Birthday!

A trip to Disney World can do the whole family some good! You’re never too young or too old to make a trip down to Florida to see Mickey and the gang. If you’re searching for Lake Buena Vista Hotels or a hotel near all the theme parks, consider staying at Orlando Vista Hotel. This is a good location for a hotel and they are located right beside all the attractions that make up the Orlando area. There are many restaurants in walking distance from the Orlando Vista Hotel. I really like having the food places close to my hotel room, so I can go grab a bite anytime, without having to get the car out and driving in areas I’m not familiar with.

This disney good neighbor hotel isn’t just close to Disney World, but it’s near a lot of the other attractions that your family will want to check out; while staying in Orlando. Sea World, Universal Studios, the Florida Mall, Pleasure Island, House of Blues and City Walk are just a few more things located near the Orlando Vista Hotel. You really will be choosing a prime location that is in the heart of Orlando and near all the entertainment the city has to offer.

The Orlando Vista Hotel is the perfect place to stay for those that might be attending conventions in the area. They are geared toward the conventioneers or attendees of Orlando conventions. The 2008 American Urological Association Annual Meeting will be held in Orlando and people attending this event couldn’t stay at a better place than the Orlando Vista Hotel. If you or someone you know will be attending the AUA be sure that they check with the Orlando Vista for their reservations. They will take those last minute bookings and you will find great rates at this Orlando Hotel. So be sure to make your American Urological Association or AUA plans today for the annual meeting in late May.

I read an interesting article about lunar phones. Apparently NASA and the UK are teaming up and going to try and get phones that will have reach all the way to the moon. This appears to be something they can do this century and things should really get rolling around 2020. There was a historic momment in cell phone history when a text message was able to reach the top of Mount Everest. I believe when the first text message is received on the moon later this century, it will top that cell phone momment.

The proposed satellite system is projected for the South Pole on the moon around 2020 and this could enable a new way to communicate globally and into space. The cell phone revolution is here and it looks like it’s only going to increase in popularity and reach with all the modern technology that continues to be developed. The person that does receive that first phone call or text message on the moon, might just be as famous as Neil Armstrong; when he was the first man to step on the moon’s surface. Instead of the famous line “one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind”, the cell phone user on the moon might simply say “can you hear me now”?

My main interest is how to make money online and I am constantly looking for all those get rich quick programs. I haven’t found one that has made me a lot of money yet, but I have found a few ways to earn a dollar online.

Advertising and promoting is what a lot of people need to do online in order to be successful. Most online programs award you more if you can bring in new people to their system or help find referrals for their product or service. I continue to be one of those people, but I also would like to capture some of the advertising dollars people and businesses are willing to pay for online promotions. I hope I can stop chasing those get rich quick programs one day and just create a place for others to promote their get rich quick programs.

I have learned tips and tricks from dozens of internet users trying to find a niche in the market. I believe in keeping an open mind and never feel like you know it all, because there is always something new to learn. If you have discovered a certain way to promote or advertise online and it’s been effective for you; then please share it with me.

Online businesses is popping up all over the place these days and it’s not hard to find one that claims they will make you a lot of money. The hard part is finding an online business that actually does make you a descent wage each week or month.

Gas prices keep going up and we are getting fatter as a nation by the day. So what’s the best way to stop the madness? Get on our bicycles and head for the beach! We don’t need no gas and can get some great exercise from one of these beach bikes. Anyone that is stressing about our economy, gas prices or our weight, can take all that stress away with a trip to the beach. The popular vacation spots along the beach are all gearing up for the tourists that will be making their spring break trips there. Today is the first day of spring and warm weather for riding on the beach is just around the corner.

Now riding a bike in your neighborhood or on your break at work is nothing like riding it on the beach. You don’t have those constant breezes coming off the water that keep you cool on a hot day and you can ride for miles and miles on the beach. It doesn’t even feel like you’re exercising when you go bicycling on the beach. You can bring the volleyball net and Frisbee that will help to work off a pound or two, but if you hop on your beach bike you will lose lots of weight. You will also lose the stress of the economy and all of the other day to day things you worry about. Get your bike ready today, so you can take advantage of the next vacation or sunny weekend that is just around the corner and let’s take a ride!

The recent riots in Tibet is causing much attention for the Chinese these days. The whole world has their eyes on China as the 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing this year and China is trying to secure their Olympic interests from protesters in Tibet. A series of YouTube videos was showing some of the things that were going on in China and now the Chinese has ban the popular U.S. based company You Tube. I’m sure millions of people in China were using You Tube to upload their various videos and now the country has cut ties to any participation with Youtube and their citizens.

I’m not sure what the world thinks of this ban yet, but I’m sure a lot of innocent Chinese citizens are being punished because a few users decided to upload the protests in Tibet. I really don’t know how they can just ban a website like that, but I guess Chinese officials thought this was the best move. A lot of pressure is going to be on the Eastern Nation later on in the year to pull off the 2008 Olympics with no hitches. China has taken extreme measures over the last few weeks to insure the security of their nation and for the security of all the Olympic athletes that will be arriving in Beijing later this year. Some athletes have worked their whole lives to try and win a medal in a Olympic Event and now they might have to worry about their safety; while trying to follow their life-long dreams.

So if your in China now and your trying to bring up YouTube on your screen, all your going to get is a blank screen. That is what millions of people are seeing now as they try to bring up YouTube on their computer screens. Other user-generated video carriers in China have not had any of these controversial videos being shown and censorship is very important to the Chinese Government. I’m sure YouTube has seen a dramatic drop in traffic since China has banned YouTube from being shown in China.

When you first sign up for a credit card you usually get a good interest rate to start out with. Over time the credit card companies start to add in the rates of your interest and soon you can be paying a hefty little fee each month in those interest rates. When you see that your credit card no longer has a low interest rate is the time you should seek a new credit card. A new credit card will usually allow you to transfer balances over from your old credit card and you can have your current balance at a much lower interest rate. Smart credit consumers have been doing this for years and it’s a good way to get around those high interest rates that credit card companies try to dump on you. You can save a lot of money by seeking out those low interest rate credit cards as your next credit card and transferring the balance from your previous credit card. Stay ahead of the game and find the credit lenders that are attracting new customers with those super low interest rates. You will soon learn the value of paying a lower interest rate on your credit cards each month!

After a few comments and suggestions from some of Alex’s Videos over at YouTube, some have questioned is she lip syncing or not. The You Tube Sensation Alex thought she would address these claims and prove it’s really her singing.

Alex Says No to the Lip Syncing Comments

So now do you believe?

I think Alex did a great demonstration on this video and it shows the YouTube Star is actually singing the lyrics to her videos at YouTube. I think you can clearly see her amazing singing talents featured on this video and this should hush some of the critics with the lip syncing comments.

Alex has big plans for the future and really wants to be a part of the music industry in some form or fashion. I think she knows she has nothing to gain by lip syncing, so there is no Milli Vanilli here with the young YouTube Sensation from Mexico. Some may remember that Milli Vanilli had fooled a lot of people with their lip syncing tactics and if you need advice with that, you should seek Milli Vanilli’s advice. Alex is the real deal and you can just listen to a few of her videos here at Single Source Writing and see she is clearly the one singing her songs.

Please be sure to stick around and I will continue to update Alex’s progress over her teen years and we can see if a girl from Mexico can make a name for her self by uploading her videos at one of the most popular places to find user-generated videos online. Alex wouldn’t be the first person to have success in this field as Esmee Denters has already proven that a star can be born at YouTube.

Esmee Denters Visits the USA

If you haven’t heard of the Esmee Denters story yet, be sure to check it out and see how YouTube has made her a star. In terms of age the YouTube Star Alex is 3 years younger and it should be interesting if Alex finds her self in the same place as Esmee Denters is in right now. Stay tuned…

That is the problem we face in 2008 and the people trying to steal our identities for financial gains. It’s great to see a service like lifelock that can help people protect their identity.

It’s not been an easy year for the boys in red, but in that true Bulldog spirit they manage to win the SEC Title and securing a place in the NCAA Tournament. Some teams get automatic bids and others get there on their strength of schedule and quality wins. Winning the SEC tournament insures the Georgia Bulldogs a spot in the Big Dance and now they will get a chance to continue this amazing run they are on.

All the weather related horrors going on in Atlanta right now, it was good to see our Georgia Bulldogs go against all of the odds and secure this place for the people of Georgia. It won’t be an easy battle and they will be playing tough teams every round, but the heart of this team can do it! I wouldn’t bet against these guys right now and I’m sure Xavier is well aware of what this team is capable of. Xavier will be the first test for the Georgia Bulldogs and it should be interesting to see how well that spirit and determination goes when they have to play outside of the borders of Georgia.

Dennis “Fulton” should be very proud of this team. The CBS announcers that gave Georgia no shot at winning the game against Arkansas, couldn’t even get our coaches name right. They referred to him as Dennis “Fulton” and finally would correct it later as Dennis Felton. Just let them keep talking coach, they will know who you and your team are very soon! Felton has done a tremendous job with the talent he has been handed and the guards of Gaines, Woodberry and Humphrey have provided great chemistry for this team and factoring in the big guys, it’s just became a well oiled machine in Athens. I really like this team’s chances in making more noise in the NCAA Tournament and they just need to take care of the first job in front of them now and that is Xavier. Go DAWGS, the state of Georiga is behined you now!!!

There has been some minor touch downs from twisters over the years, but never has a tornado touch down right in the heart of Atlanta. It caused significant damage in the heart of Atlanta and many popular areas were damaged. The Philips Arena, Georgia Dome, Westin Hotel, World Congress Center and the CNN Building were just a few places that got in the path of the twister Friday Night.

No deaths are being reported right now, but we figure we will get to learn more when daylight comes up. More storms are forcasted for the area and more damage may come to Atlanta and the North Georgia area. All the experts have no idea how a tornado would react in a big city like Atlanta. It’s not clear how the twister would go through a city with large building standing so tall. I will update this story further, when more comes available about the tornados in Atlanta.

I live 40 miles north of Atlanta, Georgia and have been there several times. I am not someone that would make a great tour guide. I get lost just about every time I go down to Atlanta. I could offer some fun things to do in Atlanta, but wouldn’t be much help if you needed me as the chauffer. The World of Coke, the Georgia Aquarium and eating at the Varsity are a few things you would want to do in Atlanta. If you do find your self lost, just stay straight and eventually you will find Interstate 285 and this is an interstate that loops all the way around Atlanta and is just a big circle.

I remember we left a Melissa Etheridge concert in Atlanta around midnight one time and some how made a wrong turn. We were traveling through some of the worse neighborhoods Atlanta had to offer. It’s amazing how easy it is to get lost in Atlanta and one wrong turn, can certainly have you headed in the wrong direction. There was about six of us in a mini van and everyone was giving directions on how to get out of those bad neighborhoods. It seem every time we made a turn, we just got more lost. That’s been a long time ago and the neighborhoods around the city of Atlanta have improved a lot. So you won’t have any fears getting around the city and Atlanta is a great place to plan a trip too!

A good place to start planning a trip to Atlanta or any other big city is with Trusted Tours & Attractions. They can help you get off to the right start by finding places to stay, travel arrangements and things to do and see in the city you plan to visit.

I’m not sure how many of you know about tarby worm trees, but I have two of them behind my house. I got them about 10 to 12 years ago and they were less than a foot high each. About a decade later they stand about 20 to 24 feet high and supply me with a good bit of tarby worms twice a year.

A tarby worm is just like a catepillar, but they don’t have the fuzz or hair-like bodies. It’s just a smooth surface to their bodies and they are black with bright green markings on them. They are excellent for fishing and you can catch catfish, bass, crappie and bream (pronounced brim) with them. All of the fish in my local area of Canton, Georgia just tear them up when they see a tarby worm in the water.

So where does the tarby worms come from? Every year when the leaves fill out on the tree, they will be white blooms that come on the tree too. These blooms attract moths and the moths will come lay their eggs on the tarby worm trees. It doesn’t take the eggs long to hatch and soon you will have baby tarby worms on your tree. It takes them about 4 to 5 days to become good fish bait. It’s important that once you see the baby tarby worms you make plans to go fishing in the next 5 to 8 days. Normally after about the 8th day, the tarby worms have cleared all the leaves off of the tree and they vanish. I think by the middle of July my leaves on the tarby worm trees will be completely gone. They will grow back again and about 8 to 10 weeks later, you will normally get a 2nd crop of tarby worms during the fall. So you can plan another trip back to the lake and fish with your tarby worms again!
