Google Android Plush Review



Without pulling anything funny, here is my toy review for the Google Android Plush by ThinkGeek.  It's very straight forward.  I'm not going to bullsh*t my viewers.  I'm just going to give you the raw details about what customers want to buy.  Hopefully, this will work.  By working, I mean attract viewers.  I don't expect a miracle, but I did do a better job updating the video quality.  I also uploaded the video and edited a tad bit; not a lot but just enough to get by.  This is in my basement.  At this point I'm willing to try anything that works.

Thank you for your much needed support or just random blog walking!

Back to the Drawing Board





Yes, I am in search of my own business once again.  Let's cut to the chase.  Life is hard enough as it already is, and I need a business model that actually works.  The rules are simple:  No spending thousands of dollars on some school.  To keep it short, I'm going to spend more time making and editing my video footage.  I understand I will never make it anywhere I want to be at if I just keep listening to what everyone else says.  No one wants me to be a famous author, movie producer, or anything for that matter.  The most anyone else wants for me is to just have a normal 9-5 job.  Well, I have news for you.  I don't want to be like everyone else.  I will not get famous or get rich overnight.  Hell, I probably won't even get more than 1000 views, but I am learning more about filming and editing.  I welcome you to the first stage of my development.  No one really cares how hard it is when you first start out.  People just want whatever the product is.  They have no idea of the backstage, rehearsal, or the training that is involved in making something great.  Whatever it is that is produced probably took a lot of time and effort no matter how big or small.  Give credit where it is do.  Persistence is trying a million times and failing, but you still keep on trying.  Learning from your mistakes and failures is the best teacher you'll ever find.  Audience and subscribers come and go, but you'll keep on learning.    

The most views I've gotten so far was for my toy/hobby shop.  Guess what the pros do?  They double down on what works!  So the philosophy and how hard you have to work to make it in life is absolute garbage.  People don't want to know about my bullsh*t about keeping up with the Kardashians.  People don't want to know about my "How to" videos.  People don't want me informing them about random life hacks.  People don't want me to show them exercise videos.  My audience is dumb.  They just want me to review some Hasbro toy.  People want to be entertained, not informed.  Do you think it's funny for me to introduce you to a physics or calculus class on your free time!?  No, math and science is BORING.  People are watching your youtube videos for funnies and entertainment!  Unless you're Bill Nye the Science Guy or Peewee Herman, you're not going to be attracting no one.  You really need to step up your game and create a character for yourself.  You can't just go all in on the fact that you're "some guy".  Cat videos are a great example of how the law of attraction works.  The most dumbest things out there are just for the soul purpose of bringing  pure entertainment and joy to the audience.  Half the time, they don't' care about being informed, educated, or learn new ways of making money.  The audience just wants to be entertained!  A lot of people are just going to say "whatever" to what you're trying to say.  Instead, try and show them "the product".  They maybe interested in buying something.  Guess what?  That's all!  They just want to buy something, so now you can be as informative as to what they're interested in buying!  You get in and get out!  Do not waste the customer's time!

I kid you not.  These people will not give a crap unless it's cute, funny, or just dumb as all hell.  You want page views right?  You want audience right!?  You want sales right!  It has to be entertaining!  It has to be something people are interested in buying.  The picture has to make sense to them.  If it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, your best bet is cat videos or Kim Kardashian's big booty.  I don't have all the time and energy in the world.  I have to act fast.  I have to act now.  If I don't do these things now, guess what?  I just end up back where I started from.  Judging my my youtube statistics, I have a lot of work to catch up!  Those kidz of mine are going to be starving!  I'm making $0.  Yes, I'm a college graduate of Rutgers, a state funded school of Ivy League status.  No, it doesn't benefit me at all that I graduated college in terms of making bunk.  If you guys keep thinking that college will do you justice, it doesn't.  The proof is here.  I'm the product of this whole "you need to go to college" generation.  What you really need is strong interest and passion for a particular field, beyond that is talent.  Don't fall into the whole "you need to go to college" trap.  School is not for everyone.  What else can I say?  I know life is tough.  I know I can't get those views if I don't try harder.  I know I'll just stagnate and be the same if I don't continue learning or try new things.  I know I need to keep posting and producing more original content.  If I don't do anything for myself, who else will?

Thanks for reading!  I hope to see you next time.  I sure as hell hope I'll talk less and do more by that time!

Gone with Weekend - WAKE UP YOU ARE NOT A TRUST FUND BABY

Yup, my weekend is gone yet again.  Having to work tomorrow will have you wish you were born a trust fund baby.  Unfortunately, this is real life and family members suffer from greed, selfishness, ignorance, and just an all around not giving a f*ck.  Our ancestors and grandparents were only out there to survive.  Things like life insurance and trust funds probably didn't exist back then.  Even if they did exist to the normal person, no one would be smart enough to cooperate and coordinate the whole thing well enough without all the funds vanishing in thin air.  They had no internet.  They only knew English as a second language.  Who really gave a crap or enforce the law regarding trust funds and life insurance?  The smartest thing to do was to just hide cash under the mattress.  No one could see the future or even cared.  It was always about the constant need for shelter, food, and water.  Well, we are here in the present now.  People still struggle with having no life insurance, health insurance, trust funds, or anything for that matter.  We are still pretty God damn ignorant if you ask me.  Blinded by their own arrogance and ego, family members may not even care about the financial future and live as though there's no tomorrow.

So we are basically left here to toil and work.  Long gone are our ancestors, but here we are arming ourselves for another dreaded week of working.  Don't blame the past.  They had their own fair share of sh*t to deal with while they were alive.  We continue to march.  We continue to live.  We continue to dream.  We continue to hope.  You have to pay if you want to play.  If it comes down to it, you'll even have to pay to win.  

  Thank you for reading.  I hope to see you next week sometime when I'm off.

Weekend Mornings

I would like to believe in a world that doesn't have to work on the weekend unless you have to.  I sure as hell know I don't want to work on the weekends.  No one wants to work, but they do it for that biweekly paycheck.  Blessed is the one who actually wants to work despite of their economic wealth and/or power.  I guess you should get to the point where working actually feels like fun and your more than happy to do the job.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it's inside any of us.  To feel radiant joy while working as though you just won the lottery is like a diamond in the rough.  If that was the case it wouldn't be called work.  If working brought people the happiness and fulfillment in life it may actually be called something else like a vacation or retirement.  We are here to work.  We are here to get things done.  You've have heard it over and over again.  The two parallel dimensions where you are to become a star and achieve your own success, or work for some big company that no one will ever give two sh*ts about you but you give you that steady biweekly paycheck.  It is argued that all you really need is to get those  x amounts of days off every week and it's somehow fair.  You can do whatever you want on your time off, but when you have to go back to work you have to face the music.  If I earned $200 everyday off of internet popup ads and random commercial sponsors, I probably wouldn't need a day job.  But let's face it, we all need to work.  It takes star power for people to be clicking on your popup ads.  If your product is really that good or worth a look, random people will take interest in it.  If your product is sh*t, you won't be getting enough clicks to feed yourself.  Get a computer science degree?  Get a math degree?  Get an engineering degree?  All those cost money.  Making money takes effort and time.  It's always about pushing through the week and churning out the butter.  We are all cogs in the machine.  It is argued that there is much value and appreciation to the rat race we all find ourselves in.  Perhaps people find something they like doing, staying out of trouble, making a living, being able to feed their family, ect.  

This cycle keeps going on for years until I start doing something different, something else like thinking outside of the box; but what if this is my limit?  What if I can't perform anymore than what I'm already doing now?  Why isn't a biweekly paycheck ever enough?  Why must we keep on going trying to exploit the system and keep churning that butter?  Yes, I'm interested in churning out more butter and making more bacon and egg.  I don't argue that I'm greedy as hell just like big industrial companies, but I'm not willing to go the extra mile and do the work for it.  Like all things, it takes a lot of time and effort from different people and organizations other than yourself.  In business, it's not just yourself you are dealing with it's other people.  It's always like I just go back to where I started from.  I'm not sure this is either a good thing or a bad thing.  You need a product and you need someone buying it, not to mention marketing efforts.  Is this what your customers want?  Is that what your customers want?  What is your target audience?  Who is your product for?  These are just some of the many important, basic questions you'll need to grasp before moving to the next step.  Yes, it takes a lot of time and effort like everything else we try and do.  Only a few percentage of businesses ever survive beyond the first year.  A lot of business and people who start their own gig loose their place real fast to rising rent costs, building maintenance costs, lack of revenue etc.  So you really need to know who your customers are.  You might be able to spray and prey and attract all kinds of random customers if you're lucky.  Most of the time, you really need a target audience or it'll be like throwing money out of the window.  

The morning is almost over, and I've accomplished nothing.  This is all the time I get.  There's only 1 Saturday morning every week.  It's a special time, but I never do anything.  I guess this is just who I am.  I guess this is all I'm worth.  Doing nothing on Saturday mornings is my thing.  Wishing and dreaming about doing things on a Saturday mornings is my thing.  Why not just create a cheesy video about it?  When else would I have time to be doing anything.  You have to do it sometime!  You can't just keep dreaming and hoping for the best sitting on your ass!  Who knows what next Saturday will bring?  It's just that everyday kind of thing we all keep doing, nothing.  I sure hopes one of us gets something more than nothing accomplished.  I will be waiting for myself to get to that point or maybe my biweekly paycheck is more than enough to satisfy my taste for living a life and fulfilling my dreams.

Thank you for reading!  I hope to see you next time.

Tired and Sleepy

When all is said and done at the end of the day, all you will ever want to do is collapse in your bed and doze off.  Yes, this happens every night you know you've been busy.  It's an unnecessary evil.  Some may say it's even a blessing.  Ultimately, you want to be able to sleep at the end of the day knowing that tomorrow will be good to go.  As one can infer, I don't like taking giant risks that will leave me sleeping outside on the bench outside in the park outside where it is freezing.  At the same time, without risk there's also very little chances of obtaining greatness.  You only take big risks if there's a shot at being great.  As for me, I don't see anything groundbreaking at this time that's worth anymore time and effort putting into.  I just accept things as they are.  Hopefully, there's some genius out there who has the time and money to create new incredible things for the society as a whole.  That special someone or someones is definitely not me.  I'm just there to sit back and enjoy the ride.  It's clear that my game will never be up to par with the pros out there.  Sorry, I just don't feel it happening anytime soon.  You need to be born into this or that to get ahead in life.  Statistically speaking, more successful people have been actually grown from poor families.  They know the value and importance of hard work, period.  They know there's no other way around.  If they don't know, life will teach them along the way.  On the other hand, the rich often get spoiled all too quickly; take drugs; and have early adopted rehab problems.  At the heart of it, everyone is responsible for their own life choices and decisions that they make.

Quite frankly, I choose not to care A LOT OF TIMES.  It makes my life a lot easier.  The less you care about this or that, the less work you'll end up be doing.  I don't want to worry.  I don't want to stress.  I don't like chasing people around.  I don't have the time of day for any of that sh*t.  Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is freedom.  There's also the I DON'T CARE.  It will pass.
So what do people have time for anyways?  What makes people care?  Aside from money issues, people care about the environment they're in and the level of stress they're under at the money.  People want to be in nice places and buildings.  People want to be healthy.  So you have a nice environment and being healthy.  These are the two things people will agree that they do give a sh*t about.  No one wants to be sick and no one wants to be living in the ghetto in some hell hole.  As a result, people are more than happy to spend their money on healthcare and/or a new home for themselves.  There you go, the top two most safest best for the economy:  Real estate and healthcare. In a nut shell money should be spent on healthcare or real estate.  Buy and fix/resell houses or take care of people.  It sounds so simple but like everything else it's a big challenge.        

After you figure things out, work through the grind, you get to go to bed at the end of the day.   Screw everything and just plop down straight to bed.  No loans or bills to worry about; just go straight to bed.  Three meals a day and paying down the bills that's all there is to it.  You don't have to make anything harder than it should be.  If it gets anymore complicated than that someone or something needs to be removed from your life.  No, you don't need anymore drama.  No, you don't need anymore baggage.  You just need to go to sleep.  Sleep is good.  Sleep is a blessing.
Good night all.  I hope you come join me again real soon.

Free Guest Pass

Well, I made it to the new gym.  I did the research before hand and came out with a free guest pass for 3 days.  Surprisingly, they didn't have a super team of salesmen trying to ram bills up my ass the moment they signed me in.  No, I didn't have to do anything ridiculous.  No, I didn't pay money.  All I had to do was talk to the lady at the front desk for a brief moment.  As long as they scanned my guest pass and present my driver's idea, everything was fine.  Yes, the gym was brand new.  They did have a pool, hot tub, and even sauna,  It was nice and big.  They even provide you with lockers.  No, they don't have towels, mouth wash, bags, cleaning wipes, or any extras.  There are no extra freebies.  The treadmills and bikes all have their own individual televisions.  They have a wide range of equipment, free weights, machines, medicine balls, and just about everything else.  It's clean, it big, and it's new.  For  the $100 signup fee and $30 a month, it's not that bad.  Like all gyms, they probably won't stop billing you even if you quit.  There have been thousands of cases where they don't let you go without paying extra.  Yes, it's a pain in the ass.  Big corporations don't anything else except making money.  It's like this in all gyms so be advised.  If you signup, they will want your money even after you quit.

I had a great experience.  It was nice taking my time and doing my thing at the gym.  I got to workout my arms, back, shoulders, abs, chest, legs, quads, wrists, biceps, calves, etc.  I even got to swim and use the hot tub.  The point is that I got to do whatever I wanted with my weekend time off from work.  I didn't have to deal with people bothering me to get things done or whatever.  Unfortunately, I'm not much of a people person.  Not everyone is a beautiful girl out there.  In fact, a lot of people are not even about the look.  Therefore it's all about the ability to communicate.  If you can't get the word out or express yourself within the means of other peoples' tolerance level, you're going to run into conflict.  I don't want no conflict or crazy shit going on most of the time.  Sometimes it's best just to keep quiet and do your own thing to get your money's worth.

You can do whatever you want at the gym, but what is important is the recovery period.  You need to get your protein in!  Instead of getting something cheap at the local buffet or ShopRite, I drove straight to the nearest Chipotle.  I order the salad bowl with 2 wraps on the side, chicken, and guacamole to max out my money's worth.  Yes, you can get 2 wraps with a salad bowl!  You get the best of both worlds!  You don't just get the wrap; you get the salad too!  Well, the total comes out around $10; depending on if you want the chips.  The company has faced charges in the past but that doesn't stop me.  They advertise quality food without the use of chemicals and how organic their food is.  I trust them to some degree, but all corporations are evil to some extent.  None the less, I'm happy with the value I get from a $10 meal as opposed to feeling bloated and fat after a cheap, Chinese American buffet.

So as an experienced homeless would I be paying this gym membership?  Well, I have a "free" gym I that's right down my townhouse complex right now.   I felt that I wasn't on top of my game and that the gym is just equipment.  You really need the person behind it.  You need the mentality.  You need the experience.  You need the leadership skills.  It has very little or nothing to do about the gym itself.  It's about investing yourself.

So tired, I'm going to bed.  I don't know if I'll wake up.

Thank you for reading!  Come next time!

RUTGERS COLLEGE TUITION ALL PAID OFF


My Rutgers University tuition has been finally paid off.  It took a lot of time.  It took a lot patience.  It took a lot out of me.  It took a lot of learning.  It took a lot of experience.  Family and friends have aged over the years!  I was once young.  The people around me were young!  Wrinkles!  Face lifts!  Teeth!  Jesus Christ, was all of this college education worth it!?  All of this time and money thrown into the hands of administrators you hardly know.  Other than my relatively low cost of $14,141.50, state college is not worth it.  No, it's not worth it.  You did not read this incorrectly.  College is just not worth it these days.  Unless you're a rocket scientist, you're never going to amount to anything with a college degree.  It only caters to those with nothing else but money or those willing to go deep under debt.  It's nothing else but a "pay to win" game.  To play, you have to pay.

Long story short, I would recommend community college and/or vocational school.  They offer great financial aid packages to individuals from low income families.  I don't have the time to start earning money when I'm eight or twelve years into my doctorate.  The bottom line is that no one really cares unless you're paying a lot of money for tuition.  The teachers and professors really, really don't give a damn about you or your grades.  As long as those in power are making money, they don't care!  Ultimately, you're just competing for a piece of paper.  It's absolutely bullshit!  America is in $1.2 trillion dollars in debt just from student loans!  You can't be serious!?  We would all be doctors and lawyers by now if the system was actually working.  I know I'm not going to be doing anything to solve this debt crisis.  I don't care enough nor do I have the power/money to ever give a damn.  Please do not waste anymore of my time trying to sell me "college".

I do believe in spending money to get specialized the nontraditional "college" way.  It has to be very specific or it's absolutely garbage.  You might as well major in business if you don't know where to go.  You can end up selling used cars for all I know or television box services.  You need to be able to visualize actually who you want to be and what you're going to do.  If you can't do that, you're just going to be desperately trying to find any job just to earn a paycheck.  With all said and done, I paid off my college tuition and I'm happy.  Be careful falling into the "college" trap.  I don't like walking around with debt.  I don't like being forced to go to school.  I don't want any of that bullshit.  Thank God, I'm free of student debt.  I am moving forward and not looking back to pile up more student debt.  Hard work and persistence is all that will prevail at the end of the day.

Thank you for reading!  I hope I've touched and opened your hearts to what is horribly wrong with the education system.  I don't like student debt nor do I wish it on others.  Do anything that'll get you out of having to owe anyone anything.  See you next time!
