What is the official language of the United States?

By on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 | No Comments

What is the official language of the United States?

I have to keep reminding myself to keep the politics off Facebook and keep it on the Bragger.

You get mad when you are asked to press #1 for English, why? The United States has no official language. Some states have declared that they will only conduct legislative business using English.  However English is not the official language on the United States….either is Spanish, German, Polish or any other language.

People still get mad. Aren’t you forgetting that more than half of the U.S was colonized by Spain at one time?

The U.S. even owns a Spanish-Speaking territory. Puerto Rico. Do Puerto Ricans HAVE to learn English? Of course they don’t.

There is no law in the United States that prohibits anyone from speaking their native language.  Until then….you have the right to choose. Press 1 for English or Press 1 for Spanish.

FSC On A Pack of Cigarettes – Time To Quit

By on Friday, November 6th, 2009 | 2 Comments

A month ago, I was smoking my usual brand of cigarettes and I noticed a funny taste. I also noticed that the cigarrette kept going out by itself.  A week later, I got an email from a friend on Facebook. She said that FSC above the barcode on a pack of cigarettes meant that they were Fire Safe Cigarettes. FSC Above Barcode

I know these cigarettes will kill me, but so will alcohol and jay walking.

It made me think, what kind of other shit are they putting in these cigarettes? If they want to keep messing with chemicals in a cigarettes, just outlaw them.

So after hearing this news. I went to stores in urban areas to get my brand without the FSC marking on the barcode. My brand is not popular in urban areas, so I know that retailers will still have the old “cause a fire and fuck it” type cigarettes. I was right. By 2010 all cigarettes have to be FSC.

But as soon as I get a pack of smokes with FSC above the barcode, I tell the retailer, I don’t want them.

It’s pretty piss-poor that they could pass legislation to make fire safe cigarettes without asking the consumer.

Wouldn’t you be pissed off if you were buying certain diapers for your child and found out that they put a chemical into the diaper to make it a fire safe diaper?

Pretty shitty. It’s time for me to quit smoking.

10 Great Ways to Use Facebook

10 Great Ways to Use Facebook

Some people don’t like Facebook because they just don’t know what to do when they get an account. I have friends that join over a year ago but they don’t contribute to the conversation or they just don’t get it. Here are 10 ways to use Facebook and have fun.

  1. Play some games on Facebook (Mafia Wars, Farmville, Bejeweled)
  2. Join a group. (If you have a hobby or are into a cause, there is a group for you.)
  3. Create a “fan page” for a person, place, thing or even your business

  4. Plan an event and send out invitations. (With the RSVP feature you’ll know how much food to buy.)
  5. Wish someone a happy birthday.
  6. Ask questions. (Have you seen this movie? Can anyone fix a computer?)
  7. Answer questions. (That movie was great. I can fix your computer?)
  8. Share photos, videos and links to great sites you find.
  9. Tag photos
  10. Connect with old friends. It’s cheaper than spending money at classmates.com

Twitter Contest LeBron James Collectible

By on Friday, August 28th, 2009 | 4 Comments
Toy LeBron James Escalade

Let’s have some fun!!

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.

Let’s have some fun and good luck.

Reasons Why Myspace Failed – Because of a Chicken Recipe

By on Thursday, August 6th, 2009 | 4 Comments

I was reading an article about Myspace laying off employees because of slow ad revenue and because people were flocking to Facebook.

Why MySpace Failed

  • 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.

Interesting Facebook Urls

Here are some interesting Facebook urls that I came across just a few hours after the start of the gold rush. I found some of these using Twitter search as well as typing in different “pseudo-popular” vanity urls.
