Famous People

I can’t believe the story I just read about Shelley Malil. I can’t believe it. He was such an amazing actor and looked so normal. I still feel that people who are capable of murder or attempted murder should look different to us so we can spot them. Oh it is such a shame to be so successful and so well thought of and then to turn out to be crazy or worse yet evil.
It’s hard to imagine having a life so blessed and then ruining it all. He had family and friends and a great career as well as financial stability. I guess it is true what they say money does not buy happiness. For someone to come so far in such a short time and then throw it all away. We definitely need more prayers in this world and more focus on God and less on ourselves.

Shocking and Scary News
Posted by Gina on Jul 16, 2008
I couldn’t believe the story I read on CNN tonight. It was about 2 women who have been convicted of murdering 2 homeless men for their insurance money. This is one of the most awful news stories that I have heard in a long time. First of all the women who committed these two horrible murders were elderly women. One I believe was 73 and the other 77. The fact that they did this to two poor, homeless men makes it even that much more horrible.
They became friends with these men and then were able to get enough information to take out life insurance policies. At first the women said they targeted older men who were most likely going to die soon. What the jury actually found them guilty of was murder. Both men were run over and died from the accident. Both women received 2 life sentences and will be behind bars until they die.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

I know everyone has their own opinion of these two, but I love them. I think they make a great couple and are doing wonderful things for this world. What happened between Brad and Jennifer Aniston we will never know, but we have to assume that it wasn’t meant to be.
As for Brad and Angelina I heard she gave birth to twins last night. I am so excited for them. They both seem to love children so much and by the looks of it they do a great job raising their children that they already have. These last two will make for 6 children. Their names are Vivienne and Knox. I wish them all the best.
Local.com the easiest way to find information online
Posted by Gina on Jul 13, 2008
For the past couple of years I have been using the yellow pages online to find information about different restaurants, hotels, etc. When you work in the avertising field, like I have in the past you are constantly searching the internet for information such as driving directions, ratings on hotels, and more. The yelowpages.com was a big help, but sometimes I needed a little more information than what the yellow pages offered.
Since then I have discovered a better method for gathering information called local.com. Local.com goes one step beyond your typical search engine. It encompasses information from many different sources including the yellowpages.com, yelp.com, and city search. If you can’t find all the information you need on one of these sites you can search another one that local.com offers. It’s great it works as a one stop shop.
Homelessness

I just heard a very sad story on the news. It was about a man in Florida who begged police to take him back to jail. I don’t know about you, but jail is the last place I want to go. He was released earlier this year and has been unemployed and on the streets ever since. He intentionally walked right up to a police officer and handed him crack cocaine. Once back behind bars he mentioned this was the place he felt at home. It was clean, there was a bed to sleep on, and he got 3 meals a day.
Why is it that some ex-convicts are able to find steady work and survive outside of jail and others just can’t seem to make it. One person in particular that is married to a friend of mine is an ex-convict. He was in prison for 12 years and is now working for Americas Most Wanted of all places. He has completely turned his life around and is happily married, doing volunteer work with men who are in prison, and working to put criminals away. He really has turned his life around. Then when I hear about other people who can’t survive outside of the prison walls it breaks my heart. I guess a lot of it depends on the choices we make. At least for now I’m going to believe that.
Crazy News

This world is a crazy place to live sometimes. I just don’t understand some people. One of the top stories on cnn today was about a twenty year old girl engaged to a serial killer. Not only is that horrific enough, but the man she is engaged to is also forty-four years older than she is.
He is hoping to be free from prison soon due to lack of evidence in the last case. The strange thing is though he had confessed to murdering people throughout the 70’s. Do those murders not count anymore? I hope the justice system overseas will use some common sense and will not set him free. How is it that confessed murderers can go free anyhow?
Izea and Blog Advertising
Posted by Gina on Jul 5, 2008
I can remember from a very young age the impact that advertising had on people. There were commercials on TV that my bothers and sisters would talk about long after they ran. Slogans or phrases used that we would begin to use and products we forced our parents to buy us because we liked the way they were marketed. I remember becoming a fan of Pepsi because of the blind taste test challenge in the early 80’s.
You might wonder how effective advertising is and which method is the most popular in increasing sales dollars. Today print, media, and internet advertising have all become popular models for companies to use. Newspapers stay in business due to the advertisers. Popular sporting events and popular TV shows are made possible through their advertisers who spend thousands of dollars in order to be seen during that time. Last but not least internet advertising has become a huge sensation. Blogging for one has allowed consumers to hear about a product before actually going out and purchasing it. It’s ingenious because a company can talk up their product without any trouble, but to actually have a consumer rate a product is priceless. Consumers have nothing to lose and if they love the product that makes for the whole sales campaign for that company. blog marketing is an excellent way to get the word out. It’s free, it’s easy, and by using the internet you have the whole world at your fingertips.
