I get chills when I hear this song. It’s so powerful, it permeated my dreams after listening to it a few times yesterday. That’s a pretty major deal.

How do I explain it? There’s a moment as each chorus begins that raw heart is conveyed. I can capture her emotion. I am moved by her passion. This will go down as one of my favorite songs of all times.

I’m reminded of how I was affected the first few times I heard The Fray’s “Cable Car”.

ADELE – “Set Fire to the Rain”

Put your brand on my car!

As if there weren’t enough places to feel bombarded by advertising, I’m looking into an oldie but goodie. Car Wraps! That’s right. I am offering myself (my car, really) up for advertising opportunities.

I read a great quote shared by Richard Hancock this morning:

If you don’t want criticism, don’t stand for anything. – John Addison

Most, if not all, of us go through a phase in our lives where we’ll do ANYTHING to avoid being criticized. This means following the trend, trying not to stick out, and probably condoning a lot of stupid behavior we really don’t like.

It’s a Paid Search Tool Extravaganza up in here. I’ve got product demos and followup calls coming out my ears. I’m four deep right now. Each tool has its pros and cons. And each product’s strength and weakness is unique to itself.

I’m currently using Acquisio, and I’m not 100% convinced we need to change. I inherited the product and, unfortunately for me, didn’t get the full product demo when I started, so I honestly know more about these other tools strengths and weaknesses because I’m not having to explore those on my own.

Here are the tools I’m checking out:

I think it goes without saying that those who are most famous are not necessarily the most mature. We know this when it comes to Hollywood, but I think we tend to forget this applies to the blogosphere as well.

Memorial Day posts are never super popular or fun… if they’re done right. A memorial, by definition, is “is an object which serves as a focus for memory of something, usually a person (who has died) or an event.” So when we observe Memorial Day, we remember and honor the soldiers who have given their lives for our sake, and for their families who have endured unimaginable loss.

I thought my wife was hot in college. And trust me, she was. I was all goofy inside when I’d look at her. That’s partly why I married her. I’m not ashamed to say it. I like beauty. I didn’t want to ever feel the need to lie about how beautiful she looks. So I was picky. VERY picky. And I wanted to know beyond a reasonable doubt that I’d still be attracted to the woman I married 20 years later. Check.
