First impression - its over the top and enigmatic but it has a good beat. It will be a good dance club song if you leave out the video that doesn’t make any sense.
Can we talk product placement? I don’t watch music videos much anymore but this is the first time I’ve seen such ‘in your face’ product placement in a music video.
Final Grade for Video: C
Final Grade for Song without Video: B
If you haven’t seen this movie then you should! As someone from the ‘inbetween’ generation, i.e., not a baby boomer and not really a gen x’er — I do have some memories of the era in the movie. There are parts of the movie still relevant today, the sense of freedom, the paradigm shift and rock-n-roll! Take a moment to watch this clip and relive some of your teenage years.
If you’ve never watched Bravo’s Flipping Out with Jeff Lewis you’ve missed some good laughs and often, some awkward moments. And if you haven’t seen it then indulge yourself. So back to the title of the story - what I’ve learned from Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out - everything is negotiable - yes, that’s right - everything is negotiable.
Every week there is something new on the show and this season brings it back to reality, even Jeff is having money issues like everyone else. But how hard is it - he still has assistants, he has a housekeeper, he lives in a great house in LA and has a reality TV show.
Jeff is funny, the greatest thing about the show is he can say some of the stuff without cracking a smile, when it is clearly a joke.
Funny, funny, funny — watch it when you get a chance.

And proves looks and money don’t make you happy!
Another show that pulls you in but illustrates the dysfunctional nature of people’s lives. There is so much to talk about with this show but there is one couple in particular, George and Lina. This is a toxic relationship and being pregnant only worsens the problem. This is a classic example of relationship that needs to not happen and now the poor child is going to have to deal with this dysfunction. But as we watch the show it is revealed she ‘lost’ the baby - or either had an ‘abortion’ - sorry but this is the best thing that could have happened. My advice to George, turn, then run away, run as fast as you can - don’t look back and don’t let her reel you back in. There are hundreds of thousands of well-adjusted, real women who would love to connect with you. Where you could be happy!
George you are a good guy but you have to make a decision to get away from pyshco biatch women - Miami Social has portrayed you as a specific stereotype but you are beyond that - you are reaching out and it looks like you want more from life. Deep down you really want a normal woman but you choice in women is skewed. As noted before, turn and run from Lina, she is unreasonable, crazy, self destructive and has a low self-esteem. When George told her he loved her - she said, “no you don’t” and normal women don’t do that!
The cast of characters is really interesting - stay tuned for more commentary.

There are some great sites around the net that allow you to share your photos with the world. But I wanted to take it step further, I wanted to be able to sell my photos as greeting cards, poster prints, or even have them printed to canvas. So I started doing a bit of research which led me to ImageKind.com a subsidary of CafePress. Some may be familiar with CafePress - a cool site that gives you the opportunity to sell you stuff printed on t-shirts, mugs, etc.
Imagekind.com is a few years old and offers over 750,000 high-quality fine art images for sale. So there is quality and stability behind the company, but another feature I liked about them is that is gives you, the artist, the ability to connect with other artists. It is the world’s first community to serve as a hybrid art gallery, photo-sharing service and a print-on-demand service. In addition they’ve, Imagekind has partnered with leading brands such as Walgreens, Snapfish, Flickr, HP and Costco.com which opens up the market much wider to new, upcoming artists to distribute to the widest possible online audience.
