ON TV in NYC...

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:05:12 GMT

Ok, how cool is this?

Would you do it?

Only the Extreme's make it...it seems...

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:43:39 GMT

Ever watch a TV show or a movie and see those stereotype's?

You know, the ultimate redneck - the Bible thumpin' Christian - the gay guy/girl..

Seriously, how many people do you know are to that stereotypical extreme in real life?

If you boil it down, maybe one - if you're lucky, and live in the right area - maybe more...

So why do TV shows and movies and news organizations proliferate extreme behavior?

Ratings....

and we know what that means...right?

Money.

But lets be honest with ourselves...

who'd want to watch a family sittin' on a couch watching late night as a reality show?

I wouldn't. Bring on the crazy weirdo's!!! I need escapism.... ;)

What extremes do you find on TV the most?

It's near vacation time for the Holiday's...

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:21:45 GMT

So, What type of vacation person are you? Ocean/Beach or Mountains?

A Paid Sponsored Video Review - Uprinting.com

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:32:24 GMT

Ok, this is done at the last minute...but I have to say that this company has followed through with everything they've stated.

Thanks to Saintvi for participating in the contest last July...I'm sure she could add much commentary to this video.

This is a Video Review of UPrinting.com's Photo Canvas Printing....but mainly highlighting their blog sponsorship program.

ok...enough of the formal typing...how 'bout a cheesy video where I'm fighting with the lighting and backround and finding the pictures on my computer to show during the recording...

In all seriousness, it's a great program - and I highly recommend it. I look forward to offering more giveaways through the BFN from Uprinting.com.

Until later...I'm fried.
