YouTube, We Have Issues!!
August 2nd, 2010 Posted 12:09 pm
YouTube really gets on my nerves sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I love the website and would never stop using it, but it’s just annoying lately. A few things have really been bothering me about the site recently. Firstly, I’m getting pretty sick of the advertisements at the top of the page and the ads that insist on starting before I watch a video. I do not want to wait 20 seconds to watch a video. Isn’t it enough that they stick ads at the bottom of the video and all over the page. You have to make me wait to view a video too? Smh.
Secondly, there’s the featured videos at the bottom of the page. Why can’t I disable that? I can disable other crap, why can’t I turn that off. I like that feature at times because it has introduced me to people I wouldn’t have been exposed to otherwise, but some of those videos are just strange.
Thirdly, I hate that new autoplay feature they have when you watch a video posted by someone you subscribe to. I don’t want the next video in my subscriptions playing automatically! Yes, they give you the ability to turn that off, but you have to turn it off every time you click a new video. That’s too much trouble.
Lastly, I want to always be able to remove the videos from my subscription list that I don’t want to view. That feature comes and goes as it pleases. Smh. Other than that, I love YouTube!!!

Convenient Diet Pill Reviews
July 14th, 2010 Posted 1:51 pm
One of my favorite things about the Internet is that I can read unbiased reviews on products before I purchase them. When I used to purchase a majority of my products from stores there was never a way to judge whether the product was good or bad until I got it home. With the Internet you can read reviews from tons of people who have already bought and tried the merchandise. I love that aspect of online shopping. I think that’s why 80% of my shopping is done online.
I also love that I can read reviews about products that I may know nothing at all about. For instance, if I was considering taking apidexin, I could just go to a site that reviews the product and see how good the diet pill is. Most of the time you can read actual customer reviews and professional reviews. I love that!

Knowledge Waiting…
May 28th, 2010 Posted 11:20 pm
I really love the Internet. It’s extremely helpful. People say the Internet can compromise a person’s intelligence, but I think the Internet has taught me so many things that I wouldn’t have been able to learn otherwise. Sometimes I just read things that I have no real interest in just because I love to learn new things. Some things I have no interest in knowing, but they’re important so I read up on them anyway.
One thing that fits into that category is insurance. Several months ago I started giving a lot of thought to purchasing life insurance and the Internet helped me figure a lot of things out. I was able to find out about term life insurance rates and all types of things. Maybe one day soon I’ll actually put that knowledge to good use!

What People Like…

It’s about 10:30 at night and I’m home bored. Boo. There are so many things that I wanted to do tonight, but due to health issues I’m unable to right now. It’s really depressing. I can’t wait for the day when I don’t feel sick every single day. Hopefully that isn’t the day that I die. Ha! I’m actually enjoying just surfing the Internet, watching old television shows, and reading blogs. You come across some really interesting things when you’re just surfing.
In only a few short minutes I (re)discovered that people think bad things are extremely funny, everyone wants to be a comedian, you can find the best shows online (some free, some not,) and a lot of men are really split on whether the male enhancement formula extenze really works. The Internet is quite interesting…to say the least!
