Entry #8 HELP!!!                 Alright guys so today I need your help, I need tips on how I should go about learning to cook some simple variations on what most people have in their pantry. We all come to that time where we go and look through our fridge, pantry, cabinets, etc. And we just don't want anything in there, nothing sounds good and we just want to eat something that we haven't eaten a million times before. I have finally hit that spot in my life to where I go through and through and just cant get inspired, so I am asking you guys for help, just some simple or relatively simple recipes that I can try to spice up my kitchen. I really love to cook, all of my jobs that I have ever had, have involved food in some way I started at McDonalds, went to a food packaging/ line working job, chipotle, and finally my current job at a bowling alley snack bar, the only bad part is that somehow all of my skills on those jobs I have people who love m...

Entry #7 Fresh             What's up guys!! Back at it again with another question, see what I did there? Huh? Well anyway today, once again I am talking about food, this time not the delicious after affects but what happens before, more-so have you guys ever seen a video called Fresh? To sum it up, its about what farmers are doing to raise the animals and food that we are eating now, how some only raise and grow food naturally, while it shows others who use all kinds of chemicals, pesticides, and antibiotics so that they can mass produce what they are just going to sell at the highest price they can. After watching this video one thing that I could really wow at was the numbers that they were telling us about, they had a family of farmers who had maybe 300 animals on their farm, raising them all natural and healthy without antibiotics or anything and they were getting sold for around $3000 but just down the road they had another family with a big expe...

Entry #6 Song Selection Sunday           What is your favorite song/artist who you just cant get enough of? That one person who you have on repeat at this moment? For some its that new and catchy song that just came out, for others its that really old song that we heard when we were kids and it just stuck with us, for those with kids who are going through the Disney phase and all you know is Mulan or let it go or anything else Disney. We all have that one that we will listen to nonstop and just jam out to, for me its Say you wont let go by James Arthur, to me when that song comes on it just gets me in a certain mood that just wants to crank the volume up and just sing. Its a slower song with a lot of meaning, it's one that I actually sing to my girlfriend whenever she is feeling down or she is sick so it has a deeper feeling to the song for me. If anybody has any song recommendations out there that they want to drop, I literally listen to any genre and style o...

Entry #5 Status Update          What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you go online and see the comments on your pictures that you post? How does it make you feel or think when you see people who comment negative things below? While I was listening to an audio clip recently there were a two teenagers who said that if they don't get a certain amount of likes in a certain amount of minutes then they just delete the post and think that either people aren't on their social media or they just don't like their post. For me when I post something it might get two likes in a week but nowadays with the younger generation they are so worried about what others think about them and what their image looks like rather than hanging out with friends face to face or family. I understand that some of them do it to capture memories so that they can "save those moments" but when they do that they are stuck behind their phones or laptops or tablets and just see how ...

Entry # 4: Food Coma                 I just had the most random thought guys, the other day I was at work and was talking to my boss and we got on the subject of food. He was asking me about different places that I have tried and well, for me I haven't really tried many places because I haven't had to funds to try them but he was telling me about all of this different food that he has tried and they all sounded absolutely stunning but then as he was talking he said something that made me think. He said that he would intentionally go to these places and eat so much that he would go into a "food coma" and that made me wonder, why would he intentionally eat so much food that he would make himself feel this way. Now I know what a "food coma" is, I just want to know why some people would intentionally eat so much that they make themselves feel like this? If you guys have any answers for me please leave them in the comments below and let me know the b...

Entry #3 Digital Identity Quest                Hello friends! How have you guys been? I hope everyone has been well, if not just know that things will get better and you are strong and loved. I want to ask you guys a question though, Who is your favorite person on social media? it can be anyone, a youtuber, a celebrity, an Instagram star, just someone who you get online everyday and look on your Facebook account, Instagram account, or twitter, to see if they have posted something and what they do online. I will tell you mine, his name is Adam Dahlberg he is a youtuber who used to make videos with his friends that I found entertaining but now he makes songs, he isn't exactly kid friendly because of some of the stuff he says and talks about but to me he is ok. looking at his profile on Instagram it is mainly just selfies of him and his friends/ family but it does have his links so that people can find his music. He mainly just likes to talk to his...

Entry # 2 deep thoughts                 Hey everyone! I am back already with another entry and today I think that you can tell what we will be thinking about today, but there is a catch, it might be different for everybody since today I m just asking you to look deep inside yourself and just see what makes you, well you. Today I am asking you to look really deep inside your inner-self and figure out what makes you different from everyone else. For me I know that what makes me different is my way of thinking and personality, I say "my way of thinking" because I know that everyone might think similar but not exactly alike. If everybody in the world thought the exact same way, everyday all day then the world will be boring but that's what makes the world so great is that everyone is different. My other reason I saw that I am different is my personality, others might say that I am super weird but then again I do have people that disagree with that a...

                                                             Entry # 1 learning about blogs              Hey guys! Its Jacob here again and today I'm coming at you with a question, What kind of blogs do you like? it can be anything cooking, decorating, or even lifestyle blogs, It doesn't matter just whatever you like. Now think about it and let me know in the comments and don't forget to let me know why you like said blogs. I am asking this because I have been reading a few of them lately a couple of the main ones being TMZ because of the celebrity gossip, I don't exactly know if all of it is real because it is social media making its own judgements and assumptions but I still find myself reading and skimming over the articles nonetheless. Another called CHEEZburger (yes that's right I checked the ...
