Do you Tweet? If you don’t, chances are you know someone who does. Twitter is a social media platform that allows 140 character messages (Tweets). I have been using Twitter for just over a year now, and found I need a “social plan” to use Twitter effectively for my needs. If you don’t have a plan, you will find yourself sucked in to reading hours of tweets that will leave you with an empty feeling and asking yourself why you signed up for a Twitter account in the first place.
How I use Twitter:
I don’t follow everyone who follows me. I’m not interested in your MLM scheme, I dont need credit repair tips, and Im not looking for you to tell me how great you are and how you can make me; (pick one) rich, in shape, a better lover, more successful, etc.
I do follow people who are REAL, who ask questions, (and reply if I answer their question). I follow people who are experts in their field, and offer tips/ideas, that I can apply to my life or business. I also follow local businesses, and people I find interesting. There are plenty of local businesses on Twitter looking to connect with new, and existing customers, and you will often find Twitter Only specials. I also follow a few of my favorite celebrities, and sports players. It’s interesting to see what they are thinking and whats happening in their life.
If you find yourself scrolling over tweets to find something more interesting, that’s probably a sign you need you unfollow people who no longer captivate you.

Las Vegas :: Bachelor Party
I just got back from a 4 day adventure to my favorite city… Las Vegas. I have always wanted to go to a bachelor party in the city of sin, but the opportunity never arose. I had to take matters into my own hands… I let it be known Las Vegas was the destination of choice, and the decision was made.
A group of 12 of us made the trip to America’s playground, and with a group of guys that size, there was never a shortage of debauchery. I have a few friends that live in Vegas, and one in peticular came through HUGE with the hook-ups. We got into Thursday nights hottest nightclub Tryst without waiting in the long line… this place is incredible, complete with a stripper pole in the middle of the VIP lounge, and waterfall outside. The details of Friday and Saturday night are a little fuzzy by way of lack of sleep and excessive alcohol consumption. The culmination of the weekend was a VIP cabana @ Rehab, a pool party like no other. I cannot find words to give this place justice, on Sundays from 11am-7pm the Hard Rock hotel pool is transformed into an ultra pool party, with celebrities, models, and the occasional nobody like myself all out with one goal… to PARTY!
