I can’t wait until basketball season. And if know me or have seen my tweets during basketball season, you’ll know I’m a big Cavs fan.
So what I have done is devise a contest for one lucky winner to receive a LeBron James Collectible Escalade and Trading Card as seen in the picture. I’ll even pay for the shipping.
The rules are simple. Enter your Twitter name and post the message and link to Twitter. You get points for Tweeting the contest and points for commenting on this blog post. You can even promote my contest on your Facebook page. The more unique clicks on the link in your Twitter or Facebook page, the more points you get. The contest runs now until September 15th at 11:59 pm Eastern U.S. Time. (Cleveland Time.)
Don’t forget to check back often to see where you stand.
The contest is open to U.S. residents. Contest may end if there are technical difficulties and I reserve the right to end the contest at any time. But more than likely this will run smooth.
Looks like someone’s parenting skills weren’t working too well when the 15-year-old was busted working at a strip club.
When reporters wanted to ask Rosemary Lumpkin about a report she filed with police about her 15-year-old working at a Cocoa strip club, the woman at the home, attacked the camera crew with a hoe….a garden hoe.
“I’m not Rosemary. Why are ya’ll knocking on my door. Hey! Don’t put that camera in my f**** face man. Get off my f**** porch right now! Get the… ****, ****,” yelled the woman.
Neighbors later identified her as the teenager’s grandmother.
Police say the club owners could not provide any IDs on the teenagers who detectives say have been working at Playmates for months. New management has been in place for about two weeks.
You must be 18 to dance in the club.
Cocoa police also said the 15-year-old has not been in school since the 7th grade.
The economy is sluggish and the marketers know it. Most companies and marketers know that if they give something away that they will get something in return.
I know this too.
I have used Twitter to get everything from 200 dollar tickets to marketing seminars, beer festival tickets and even software.
Right now there are promotions going on where you can get free stuff by using Twitter. Here are a couple of them right now.
Free SpoofCard for using Twitter. (Details are at the bottom of this page.)
The best way to find free stuff on the internet using Twitter is to use the Twitter Search for free stuff. Here you can find a plethora of give-a-ways just for being a Twitter user.
So if you are not using Twitter, this is just one of the many reasons to jump on board the Twitter wagon.
This blog alone uses 57 wordpress plugins. Not all my wordpress plugins are active because some of them do tend to slow the page load time.
Of course the best wordpress plugin that I use is the “All in one seo pack.” Using this plugin makes it’s simple to add tags and meta data to your website.
Another powerful yet simple wordpress plugin to use would be Contest Burner. The Contest Burner WordPress Plugin is a pretty powerful plugin for getting viral traffic to your blog or website. You can see Contest Burner in action and get a feel for the viral power that this marketing contest plugin can do.
The Contest Burner wordpress plugin uses Twitter to gain massive traffic to your site.
With the plugin, you could have a simple contest on your website or a giveaway and the people who tweet about it the most could win.
There are more possibilities for this new plugin.
The plugin will be launched to the public on August 25th 2009 but will only be able to those who register for it. Contest Burner
When I was a kid growing up in the Collinwood area of Cleveland, my brother and I used to set up a Kool-Aid stand and sell cups of it on a hot day. We would sell each cup for a a dime. After making about a dollar, we would run to the store and buy baseball cards, gum, candy and soda.
Well in New York City a 10 year old girl had the same idea. She set up shop in Central Park on a hot day. She charged 50 cents a cup. (New York Prices…sheesh.)
After selling a few cups of lemonade, the department of parks in New York City asked her for a permit, shut her down, ticketed and fined her.
Laws are laws, but building a lemonade stand is a kid’s first taste of capitalism. It’s where a kid can learn that if he works hard, they can be anything they want to be in life. For a kid, capitalism means not having to ask your mom or dad for money. There is nothing wrong with it. It’s part of the American dream.
But in essence, it’s a shame that a kid that wants to make an honest buck, gets dissed by the City of New York.
Maybe she should have sold bluts or dime bags. After all, it’s New York.
One thing about living in Florida is that I hear a lot of radio ads for plastic surgery.
Women love to look younger and take care of themselves. If you can look pretty go for it.
But recently I have been hearing many ads for vaginal rejuvenation. What is vaginal rejuvenation?
Vaginal rejuvenation is basically plastic surgery on the “hooo haaa.”
It’s also called vaginoplasy.
Doctors reconstruct the “hooo haaa” to make it look nicer.
Now I’m not a connoisseur of “hooo haaaas” nor am I a doctor, but do women really go that far to make the hoo haaa look nicer?
Do men really look at a woman down there and say “Damn this thing needs some work?” It’s not a car or a dilapidated house. Can you compare this type of surgery to giving an Earl Scheib paint job on a 67 Vett?
I have never said that to a woman. I would probably need plastic surgery on my face if I ever said that.
Until I Googled it, I never really knew how big of a deal vaginal rejuvenation was.
Is it a self-esteem issue? How do you know if it needs tightening? Can you really wreck that thing?
Can a “hooo haaa” be rejuvenated naturally?
While I was living in Cleveland, I never heard such ads on the radio.
This is one of the many observations I go thru on a daily basis living in South Florida.
What’s your take?

I’m one of 47 million Americans that do not have healthcare. I lost my job back in April of 2009. The cost of COBRA was too high and my unemployment checks would not even cover one month’s premium.
Yesterday, I pulled a muscle in my back changing a flat tire. Of course I was a little sore after I changed it. But the next day, the pain was so great that I had pain shooting down the back of my leg. I took 2 Alieve and so far, it’s not working.
I know that if I go the the emergency room that the hospital will not refuse to treat me. But they will not refuse to bill me. I cannot afford a bill. Ohio is only paying me 215 a week in unemployment. How is anyone suppose to live on that?
America is the only industrialized nation that does not take care of it’s people. We take care of other people and we make sure that our oil supply is protected.
We need free healthcare in the United States to protect us from all enemies foreign and domestic like disease.
We need it because there are people who cut pills in half because they can’t afford to buy their medication. It’s sick when we have people in this county who have to decide if they should buy a gallon of milk or get their diabetes medication.
I have seen with my own eyes, people going without necessities so that they can pay a doctor bill or buy a prescription.
Also, there are people illegally obtaining prescriptions right now for blood pressure and other ailments. All because they cannot afford to go to a doctor.
So next time you see your politicians being sworn into office and they say, “I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…” Don’t you think they should defend it’s people’s right to healthcare?
Cleveland T-Ball League W130th Tri-League Champions
I love an underdog story. This one is amazing.
It’s about a bunch of kids between 5 and 7 that were last picked to form a t-ball team. Their team had no nepotism, no favoritism and no politics. The team was not hand-picked. There were no kids of board members on the team. There were no former “all-stars” on the team.
West Park Vets
Every game these kids played…the rules were bent in favor of other politicized teams. Double plays and caught infield fly balls for outs were made against them. (According to Cleveland T-Ball League W130th Tri-League there is no infield fly rule or double plays in t-ball.)
They were stepped on, hit with balls and called names. That was until the playoffs.
The West Park Vets weren’t going to take it any more.
They had to win 3 playoff games in a row in order to win the championship. Every other team had at least a day off between games. Thank goodness for rain because the West Park Vets got some well deserved rest.
They played 6 innings their first game and won.
The second game was a joke. Coaches from other teams were bending the rules in the other team’s favor. One player on the opposite team was allowed to swing at the ball on the tee 10 times. Then on the 11th swing the player brought in two runs to tie the game.
The coach of the West Park Vets protested this immediately to board members who were present. Of course they let it go because they didn’t want the West Park Vets to win.
The West Park Vets played over 55 minutes and were ahead when a coach from the opposite team said that they have to play another inning. After multiple ties, the kids played until sunset then they finished the game another day for a victory. Parents were outraged that the league would let these little kids play until dark for over 2 hours. The parents had a right to be upset.
The third game was cake. The West Park Vets had great defense and offense to pull out a win for the Cleveland T-Ball League W130th Tri-League Championship.
Every odd was against them, including the league, board members, commissioners and coaches from teams that were eliminated from the playoffs. They didn’t want them to win. Councilman Sweeney’s team (Sweeney Sluggers) had won 4 years in a row. The championship trophys were probably already printed for the Sweeney Sluggers.
But the “runtz” that nobody wanted turned out to have the BIGGEST hearts.
Congratulations West Park Vets for winning the 2009 Cleveland T-Ball W.130th Tri-League Championship.
These kids couldn’t have done it without the skills taught by a great coach. Congrats to coach Scott and his team of coaches.
And congratulations to all the kids that played in the W.130th Tri-League. All of these kids played their hearts out. It was amazing to see how competitive all the kids were.
I love a great underdog story and this one would probably make a great Disney movie.
I was reading an article about Myspace laying off employees because of slow ad revenue and because people were flocking to Facebook.
I knew that Myspace was going to have some trouble when I would post a link to a website and big warning would pop-up telling my friends that Myspace blocked this link or that it may be a “phishing site.”
Social Media is about sharing. If you take sharing out of the equation, what good is a “social networking site.”
Another reason for Myspace #FAIL is that it is not user friendly. It overwhelming to some people. There are flashy links, ads galore, slow load times on pages from amateur HTML copy and pasters and plenty of other bells and whistles that are not needed.
There blogging format sucks and will also block outbound links with a spam/phishing warning.
Captcha Captcha Captcha – How many times did you type that captcha word before you got it right?
Spammers. Blame the markerters for this one. They blew up myspace with marketing spam from everything to viagra to finding “Hot chicks in your area.”
Now Myspace caused News Corp to lose 363 million dollars. That’s what these bastards get for impeding the ability to share a link about a new chicken recipe.
Took a Facebook quiz to find out where I was politically.
LOL I don’t need a quiz to tell me where I am on my views. Anyway this quiz just reinforced where I thought I was at politically. My Political Views
I am a centrist moderate social libertarian
Left: 0.97, Libertarian: 3.15 Political Spectrum Quiz
