Internet, Just How Do You Use It?

Counting away the days in my mind of just checking Facebook, my e-mail, and maybe YouTube I probably have veered off that norm only about three out of ten times (not including this blog). Phone, PC, or tablet, I mean when is the point of wasting money on a faster than necessary connection going to come into play? Think about it..Let us say the average internet bill for higher download speeds is anywhere from $60-$80 per month as apposed to maybe $50 for basic. With a closer examination at what we are actually doing with the access as apposed to what can be done, we develop a healthier mind on how we are involved with our internet services or whether it is worth it as apposed to just using a local coffee shops or library free WiFi to handle our basic quick needs. I am curious how do you use your internet? What do you think?

Just Say I Do Already!

Recently, one of our I Am Above TV writers sister got married! Yeah, I know congratulations and bravo right? Well, yes and we could just leave it at that. However, being who we are I took it personally a little further than that. Today, I'd like to talk about standards, in particular length of engagements. Now, we wont expose the length of our writer who's family member got married recently but, we will try to pick out a standard length of time for a "healthy" engagement. In my personal opinion, at least one years time is necessary and in order for an engagement to be called "healthy". Weddings are a big thing, and we all know this. Now, taking your time to plan for the wedding is good however, some people can take that too far. Three years is what I call "The Threshold" people and quite frankly pushing it (Even with unforeseen circumstances). In your opinion what is that standard? What would you prefer? Let us know below.

What Is The Best Investment You Have Made In Life?

One may think of themselves as just ordinary but, here is were things get interesting. When you invest there is a law of return. Some say things are a waste of time if they did not get what they in turn intended to receive for their invested time. Consider for every force there is an equal and opposite force. Without the need to go into details about how that process works I plead this urgent question. Just what is the best investment you have made in your life? Now there are two ways to look at it one, the most effort you have put into one thing and then the biggest return you have ever received. For me personally, it is my running of which I have been doing for years since 9th grade, I'm now 24. I put a lot of effort and got a lot of reward, even some hardly to do with track n field or running. I wanna hear from you! Let me know.

Friends vs You

Remember when it was easy to go to sleep and not have to worry about anything involving tomorrow? The joys of yesterday and the joys of tomorrow. That was a magical connection we had with life, back in the day. When was that day changed? How much of our lives are we worried about and how much are we not? In my opinion, friends are better for us then many give credit. But, where exactly do these relationships lead? A person should either chase their dreams (You)or settle by taking unnecessary obligations (friends)?

Friends, you?

Lets play spin the bottle..?

Generation after generation kids often take "chance" as a beautiful and wonderful thing to participate in, instead of the dreaded thing adults often see it as. Games like spin the bottle are great ways to think about taking chances again and not live so strict you forget you not alive. I remember playing spin the bottle when I was young and I rarely got what I wanted but, so did everyone else. It's like we were celebrating failure or maybe we were excepting the beauty of friendship and others? Tell me of a game of chance you played and what are you thinking right now? Talk to you guys later.

Confidence..good?

Too much confidence (overconfidence) can limit the ability to reflect our own mistakes. However, according to Harvard anthropologist Richard Wrangham "When two opposing combatants are assessing each other in a conflict, if one of them has an exaggerated sense of his own abilities he is more likely to emerge from the fight as the winner." Consider a time you have been in a conflict, did you become victorious because, of this tool? Is confidence more good than bad? Let me know! Thanks for reading stay tuned.
