Do I Miss Cleveland?
By Tom Guard on Saturday, November 12th, 2011 | No Comments
In early 2010 I moved to South Florida. I basically packed up everything that could fit in a van and headed south. Usually every time I would make a move I would go backwards. (When I moved to NYC, I went backwards…when I moved back to Cleveland, I went backwards.)
But I was determined when I moved to Florida NOT TO GO BACKWARDS!
I was sick of having nothing. I would not accept it anymore. I would not be dragged down anymore. I would surround myself with positive people who empower me to be my best.
We’ll here in Florida I did just that. I got rid of the thorns that were dragging my ass down. I had to do a lot of ignoring, take a lot of abuse and put up with loud mouths spewing negativity.
The first 6 months of living down here were hard but I worked my ass off…in a mobile home with my ex-mother-in-law. There was no space for me to set up my computer and work unless it was on a hot porch. (Believe me the porch was hot…so hot my computer would overheat. )
When I moved here I got a job within a week. I was promised all kinds of benefits and riches by the owner of the company when I started. He even offered to “buy” my old business. (That was a joke. Another Story for another day. Yes, there is animosity, I wasted a year and half with this company. However I met some of the most amazing people in the world whom I am still very close friends with.)
Anyway, while working a job that couldn’t even pay rent at my apartment, I built website after website trying to earn more income.
After not being appreciated by my boss and not being compensated for my skill, I left. I will never work for that dude again. I’m going forward. I won’t even mention or link to their website.
Now I’m here in South Florida, West Palm Beach, building my empire. I work harder than I ever did, but I’m determined to never go backwards in life.
Oh…so where was I?
Yes, do I miss Cleveland?
First of all I do miss my Family. My mom, dad and brother are in Cleveland. I miss them a lot. I miss my other family up there. (Even the ones that get on my damn nerves about stuff and tell me that I’m chasing rainbows. )
The standard of living in Cleveland was amazingly cheap.
To the ones that said I’m chasing rainbows???
Taste this rainbow…

How To Build Iphone Apps

I love learning new things. One of the things that I want to learn is how to build iphone or ipad apps. A simple app that gets popular can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even if it’s a free app like angry birds, it can gain exposure to a paid app of even licensing to a video game chain.
Check it out!! Learn how to build iphone and ipad apps
Learning how to build iphone apps is not that hard from what I read. There are plenty of courses out there and you don’t need to be a hardcore programmer.
When you are buiding an iphone app or ipad app you have to keep in mind that you are not creating a big software program. Simple is better.
Iphone apps have made a lot of money for guys that have had no experience with the Iphone or ipad platform.
Here is a course that you can check out to learn how to build Iphone apps:
If you try this course and like it let me know by commenting below. Let me know how it works for you.

West Palm Beach Chiropractors

In late August of 2011, I was changing a flat tire. I strained my back pretty bad I thought. A week or two later I took my oldest son golfing and later that day, my back and the front of my leg had shooting pain. The pain was so intense that I missed an entire week of work.
I had enough and I went to JFK Emergency in Boynton Beach. They didn’t even have room for me. They had me sit on a gurney in the hall way. A doctor spoke to me for 15 seconds, then after 10 minutes, they gave me narcotics and sent me on my way. The bill… $1650!!! For what? They didn’t treat me. That is not medicine. That is bullshit!
A week after being high on pain pills, I decided to look for a chiropractor in the West Palm Beach area. I really never been to a chiropractor in my life. My vision of chiropractor was a big guy that throws you around the room and cracks your back. I was pretty reluctant to go to a chiropractor in West Palm Beach.
Then a co-worker of mine told me about a chiropractor in Palm Beach Gardens…. his name…Dr. Thaw. Pretty cool name for a chiro that would help my frozen back. (I’m sure he gets that joke all the time.)
Anyway, I traveled to Palm Beach Gardens and went to see Dr. Thaw. I must say that he is a spectacular individual. This man treated me for my pain by correcting the problem and working with me instead of what the Emergency Room did.
After about 3 weeks of treatment. I was able to walk normally again. I was able to pick up my infant son.
I owe Dr. Thaw a big thank you and that is exactly what I’m doing by writing this to the masses.
If you are looking for chiropractors in West Palm Beach, I suggest you look up Dr. Thaw at PGA Chiropractic

Herb for Calming the Nerves
By Tom Guard on Thursday, June 30th, 2011 | No Comments
Imported from my MySpace blog – July 6th 2006
Ahhhhhh where do I begin….
Stressed? Yeah I know the feeling. Anxiety sucks…the day to day worries of adulthood…it really blows. Most of you that know me understand that I hate taking any medications made by man. The pharmaceutical companies are the biggest liars and killers of human being in the united states. Plus I can’t take any drugs, legal or not because of my sensitive position at work.
I have been taking st johns wort to lift my spirits up when I feel down…It really works. I drink the tea form because I just like tea.
Now for the good shit…I love this herb called Valerian. You talk about calming. It’s like having a comforting blanket wraped around you. It mellows the fuck out of you. I haven’t had it in a while so I bought some at CVS up the block. I took 3 of them this evening and now i’m on cloud nine…WOW! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS STUFF IS LEGAL AND A NATURAL HERB….i just feel really mellow and relaxed, almost intoxicating.
I did some research on this herb VALERIAN and found that Winston Churchill (The prime minister of Great Brittan during WWII for you non-historians) gave the citizens of England VALERIAN during the bombings during the blitz (that means a bombing campaign by the nazi’s). He used VALERIAN on his people to calm them down and to relieve anxeites caused by war. Since I have my own war going on in my life with anxieties I take valerian to calm me down. But now I think I’ll use it as a recreational drug since I can’t do “other” things because of my job.
Go out and get a bottle….try it…WARNING: the pills smell pretty bad but just take em with some soda or kool-aid..to kill the taste..after 1/2 hour you
Valerian Root
should feel pretty good….if you take a FULL dose before you go to bed it will help you fall asleep.. but if you want to just veg out and mellow take a half a dose…it’s very euphoric and pleasing.
well enough of my rambling….when I’m excited about shit I can just go on for days and days writing about it or talking about it. Sorry but that is just the way I am…FULL OF KNOWLEDGE….and sometimes FULL OF SHIT…

Drug Testing For Welfare – Test The CEO’s Too
Florida Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients
July 1st 2011 a new Florida law will go into effect that will require people who receive welfare to get drug tested when they apply for federal temporary assistance. The cost of the drug screening would fall on the individual who is applying for benefits.
However, if the individual does test positive for drugs, they can designate another individual to revieve the benefits on behalf of their children.
I know this is a great idea because taxpayers shouldn’t have to fuel a drug habit. But I see the abuse already.
Grandma or another family member is going to get a bunch of money when she is designated as the individual who gets the benefits when a family member fails a drug test.
Also, what about alcohol? Alcohol is the most abused drug in this country. There is nothing from stopping someone in Florida from cashing their welfare check and hitting the liquor store. Plus, as taxpayers, we will pay for the treatment of someone who is abusing alcohol while on welfare.
Although the law is a great idea and I’m all for drug testing people who receive taxpayer benefits you have to think…..
Were any of the company executives from the following companies drug tested when they got billions in Federal Bailout Money??? They should have drug tested every person that works for one of these companies.
If I asked the government for a billion dollars…they would definitely think I was on drugs.
Here are some of the companies that got bailout money that should be drug tested.
AIG $40 billion
JP Morgan $25 billion
Citigroup $25 billion
Wells Fargo $25 billion
Bank of America $15 billion
Merrill Lynch $10 billion
Goldman Sachs $10 billion
Morgan Stanley $10 billion
