Hybrid Lexus

Hybrid Lexus

The Hybrid GS Lexus for 2008 looks nice. “The luxury hybrid sedan that delivers extraordinary performance and lower emissions.”

I looked up the gas mileage on it.

The car gets 20% better fuel economy than its conventional cousin: 25 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, compared with 18/25 mpg. According to Lexus, that’s good for a savings of about 200 gallons per year, or $560 at current California prices for premium fuel.

When the “hybrid automobiles” started coming out, I thought they didn’t look as powerful as regular cars, but more and more that is being proven to me to not be the case. Some of the hybrids are really nice, like the Lexus above. The better gas mileage and lower emissions is a good bonus.

Online Personals

After giving it some thought, I wonder how many people actually use these “online personals” sites. There are people in my family who have met other people online and now live with them! So there has to be a few out there who are willing to give it a try, right?

Lifestyle Personals lets you meet others in your area and hook up for a date, or dinner, whatever you feel like doing I suppose.

Many people I know are tired of the bar scene and wish they could just meet other people like themselves and have a good time.

Corporations

I’ve been reading this book Inc And Grow Rich trying to learn more about the incorporation process.

I needed to find a quick and easy to read book giving me the basics on pros and cons of different types of corporations and the benefits of incorporating. “Save yourself 70% in taxes and protect your assets forever.”

When starting to invest, it is important to think about the protection of those assets while conducting business online, or work from home. So, I am reading as much as I can and will post about what is going on as I can.

I find these books easier to read than the common get-rich books, but all are important to build my understanding or financial intelligence.

Do you play Warcraft?

How many adults play World of Warcraft? I bet it is more than you would imagine! Today’s video gamer is not just a chubby faced kid with glasses. Much of today’s gaming advertising is not only aimed at adults, but many of the games themselves are intended for adults. The video game industry has spent a lot of money to break away from the “chubby kid” gamer image.

While some are clearly for both kids and adults. World of Warcraft is a MMORPG which is Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or something similar. The game is the “world” or online version of the very successful Warcraft real time strategy games for the PC.

“Do you play World of Warcraft?” just may be the next pick up line in a bar!

World of Warcraft is very popular right now and you can find many screenshots of actual game play on the internet.

Get Rich Books

So I guess I’m going to order a couple more Get Rich Books. I feel like a romance addicted housewife who can’t put down grocery store novels :( But they encourage me nonetheless.

Maybe I’ll get an online payday loan and order the red iPod.

Lennon Coming to iTunes

Apple iTunes

Finally! Not only do I enjoy The Beatles music, I really like John Lennon and now the world will be able to listen to his music through the popular iTunes music download service from Apple.

Apple Inc. has introduced a reason for fans of The Beatles to rejoice by including sixteen albums of the legendary John Lennon in its iTunes music store. He is the third of the fab four to have his solo work digitally available. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have already made their digital debuts.

Sixteen solo albums of John Lennon from EMI group can be downloaded now, including the “Lennon Legend” and “Acoustic” collections, which make their first worldwide digital introduction.

Elvis Is Dead

Listen up folks, Elvis is dead. I wish his family would stop selling his image and sound over and over exploiting him and reducing him to a candy bar wrapper. yes, the new Reeses Peanut Butter cup “King Size” now has a Elvis toon to promote the sugary snack.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like Elvis and his music – but he is dead. People need to stop acting as if he is still alive and on tour. His family is behind this.

The only reason Elvis is called “The King” is because he trademarked it. He is not known as the King of Rock and Roll for his music, its only a branded image. Most of you won’t even understand that, but that is the truth. His family paid lots of money to trademark his image and now sells it every day. He longer performs, he is no longer writing music (which he didn’t do much of) and he isn’t coming back.

Get over it, and let the man die. As I see it, his fans and family have stripped him of any honor because as of now, all he does is sell Reeses peanut butter cups.

This is what the King does?????

Sorry, but your king is now a jester. As admitted by the people who came up with the Reeses campaign, Elvis never ate Reeses Peanut Butter cups.

Is this what will become of musicians and celebs in the future, product endorsements even after death?

Celebrity Mugshots

Well now my wife is telling me she wants to “collect the Harry Potter Books” and I had to ask her, “do you plan on reading them?” Collect books? I have no idea why Harry Potter is so popular, but it seems now even my wife is wrapped up in the current media hype over Harry.

Nonetheless, this brings me to the topic at hand! Celebrity Mugshots.

I wonder how long until Daniel Radcliffe gets his first DUI and his mugshot makes the internet, alongside the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan – why don’t these girls hire drivers to drive them around if they are drunk?

Harry Potter

What’s with all the Harry Potter hype? I am one of those who have not seen the movies, haven’t read the books, and don’t know jack about it.

But, Harry Potter seems to be very popular.

Is it the way it is marketed to the public? Is it the new way to hook children on story lines and books to sell them tons of merchandise? Like it or not, it seems Harry Potter is here to stay. Unless he dies in the latest book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Wealth Is One Click Away

I’ve decided to try to “get-rich” working from home, and now I realize “wealth really is one click away.” If you understand that statement, you too could be on your way to becoming wealthy.

“Are you tired of going to work everyday, sitting in traffic, having to ask for “days off”, and all the rest of headaches that comes from working every day of YOUR life for SOMEONE ELSE? If so, tell yourself IT STOPS NOW – and that Wealth Is One Click Away!”
