I was at work the other day talking to one of the other office managers and he convinced me to sign up for a term life insurance policy. For some reason I had never given much thought to life insurance. I realize how important it is and I want my family to be covered if something ever happens to me. Nobody should be stuck with the burden of paying seven to ten thousand dollars or more when I die.

A friend of mine has an uncle who used to work in construction and his uncle was recently diagnosed with Mesothelioma. It’s really sad that he worked his butt off in the heat and cold for all of those years and all he has to show for it is lung cancer. Everyone is telling him that he should sue someone, but he’s just not that type of person. I really wish him well.

I’ve made some Las Vegas travel plans for mid-July and I’m very excited about it. Me and a few of my friends are going to rent a car and drive out there, then party for a week and fly home. We’ve never really had the chance to take a nice road trip and we all love going to Las Vegas, so this should be a fun trip.

My girlfriends father has been talking about wanting to invest into Winter Park real estate. He loves going to Colorado and he would really like to own some property there. He’s always trying to convince me to invest into some real estate with him, I just don’t know if I want to risk investing all of my money into something like that.

I was at a local electronics store yesterday and I saw some cool looking HDMI wall plates. I had previously never even heard of an HDMI wall plate, but I was talking to one of the guys who works there and he said that they are actually becoming very popular. I’m thinking about installing a few of them in my house. Quality video is very important to me, especially while watching movies.

My younger cousin has always had very bad acne. He has probably tried over 50 acne treatments since the time he was about 13 years old and nothing really worked as advertised. He recently tried a product called Acnexus and it has worked better than anything he has ever tried. I really can’t believe how much better his skin looks now. He seems a lot happier as well. He’s been talking about how great this acne medicine is for about 2 months now, even on his MySpace page.

A friend of mine recently found 3 brand new saddles at a western store that was going out of business. He was able to buy them for next to nothing and sell them on CraigsList and make over 10 times his money back on them. I wish I could find a deal like that. I never seem to come across anything that makes much money.

Lately I’ve been checking out different video cards for my computer. My old video card stopped working for some reason and I’ve been using this really cheap $15 backup video card that I keep in case my good card goes out. My cheap backup card doesn’t have tv-out or anything fancy, so I can’t do everything I normally do with my more expensive card. I need to find a new one in a hurry.

A friend of mine has been talking about taking a vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina this summer. We usually don’t do anything for summer vacation and this year he wants to take a road trip with our girlfriends and see some sights and visit a few different places. It could be fun if we can find a good time to do it. We both work pretty long hours.

On a recent day trip, we traveled to a nice town in Washington. There were many very expensive homes that looked like they could be considered mansions. The fiberglass columns were beautiful. They were a lot like pillars but much fancier. We talked to some of the owners, that were having an open house that weekend. They explained that they should never have to replace them for many years or maybe never. They should never rot, since they bought the more expensive ones. It was unbelievable how beautiful fiberglass columns made the homes look.
