Life is full of Decisions

Tonight I am in deep thought. I've been thinking about things, my friends in particular. I need to blog tonight and I have no great drinking story for tonight. I only had two beers last week, been working my ass off between work and school and there just hasn't been time to go out. So tonight I will make comment on my friend. Within the past three months I reconnected with some of my friends who I was really close with many years ago. It has been quite interesting to say the least. We all have grown up and changed. We've made our mistakes. Some of us are in so deep that we don't really know how we got into our problems. A friend of mine is the one that I'm really concerned about. Now, I am not perfect by any means but she is making some bad choices. Some of the things I don't agree with at all. It's sad to say that I actually learn some things from my Business Ethics class, things that I am actually putting to use to help my friend. Life is full of choices and sometimes it is very hard to start changing how you answer those choices, especially if you have been giving the wrong answer for to long. What makes it worse is when you're group of friends deem you decisions to be right, because they are making the same decisions. My friends is in that situation. Now I'm doing all I can to help he out of things, she knows that, and she really is starting to turn things around. Now I know that it seems that I always say "What I'm getting at is.........." So without further adieu, don't give up on anybody. Don't judge for the decisions that they've made, and reconnect with old friends. You might be surprised what you can learn from them and what they can learn from you.

Enjoy.

'Tis the Season

As much as the whole Christmas season bothers me, I do appreciate what it stands for. Corporate greed has pushed the start of the holiday season from the week prior to Halloween all the way to the actual December 25Th date. You shouldn't have to cram as much sales into that time period just so you walk away and say "this has been a good year." The Christmas season shouldn't officially start till two weeks before the holiday. Of course this is just my opinion. Along with the holiday we now have Christmas parties to attend. Please don't drink and drive during this time. "The life you save could be mine." And it's not worth the costs that are associated with it. I bring this all up because during this hectic season I may not make mention of the holiday. I may not wish you all a Merry Christmas and I may not tell you to be careful out there on the roads. So now is my time to tell you this. And from my family to yours "Merry Christmas."

Along with this I want to post a Christmas commercial. Please check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktw4J8kg3SE

Getting Reviews

Well this evening I went out in search of some beer reviews. And when I mean went out in search of, that pretty much means that I'm riding the house with the laptop in hand finding a good review website. I found one. I would recommend that you check it out. The site is http://beeradvocate.com/. This site is almost set up like a blog. More of a user fueled community that is dedicated to beer. According to their website this is what they are about:

"BeerAdvocate is a global, grassroots network, powered by an independent community of beer enthusiasts and industry professionals who are dedicated to supporting and promoting beer. What we do, in part:
Wake the masses to better beer options.
Give beer consumers a voice.
Empower them to learn, share, and advocate.
Rally to support the beer industry.
Put the Respect back into Beer."

The site is totally free but you have to set up a user name and password to read or post reviews. Not only do they have reviews but there is a section dedicated to beer education. So I encourage you to check this site out before you head out to buy a case or head look for reviews on your favorite brand. You might be surprised on how it rates.

Enjoy.
