"Libertad" or Freedom for Cuba 10-20-09

I just wanted to lend my voice to a movement that is going on today throughout the blogosphere. A group of cuban bloggers from within and outside the island are crying out for freedom today. I support them and wish them continued fortitude in their daily struggle.

I was lucky enough to be born this country, my grandparents left Cuba once they realized Castro was nothing but a lying, murderous, scoundrel. Many of these young bloggers have not been so lucky, they have had to remain on the island, many are not much older than me, but I think they may be the generation that finally wins over the tyranny. So today I lend them my humble support via a blog post. To lend your support, please click on the "libertad" image on the left. The blog is in Spanish but there is a myriad of other blogs to read, most notably "Generation Y". This blog is run by Yoani Sanchez, she is probably the most notable figure in Cuba's freedom fight right now and I believe she will remain in the forefront for years to come. She blogs from hotels where she has to pay $7-$10 an hour to use the internet since cuban citizens are not allowed to have private home internet accounts. There is a donation button on her site if you wish to help her monetarily.

Make Money and Have Fun with Moola

I've been a member of Moola.com for awhile now and while I don't use it every day it's always a fun little website to visit. You can play games on this site and make some cash while your at it. The concept is simple, you don't put in any money yourself they give you all the cash, it's your job to build on it or lose it all. But don't worry, once you reach zero they give you more cash. The games are pretty simple but they are a bit challenging. Just yesterday, however, I logged on and saw that they have added some third-party sites that look really entertaining including some free sports betting sites, they all work on the same premise, you don't put up any money, they give it all to you, just make sure you keep your accounts free. So that's my money making site for the day, again you won't become a millionaire, but you'll make a few extra bucks. Cash out for Moola is only $10.

New Portrait

Here's my latest portrait creation, it's a kitty, hope you like, I think he turned out rather well :)

To Bake or not to Bake?

So I decided to make cupcakes today. Thought it would be cheaper than buying them. Boy was I wrong! Turns out there was a 99 cent cupcake sale at Fresh Market so I nixed the baking! lol! So much for me trying to be Betty Crocker :)

Do blind dates ever work?

I'm considering going on one. But I'm terrified. There are so many disaster scenarios that go through my head when I think of blind dates, even though I've never been on one myself. Anyone out there have some experience? Did you ever go on a blind date and actually have fun? Desperately need some advice!

Mobile Blogging

So I just signed up for mobile blogging. Have any of you tried this yet? Does it work ok? I'm not quite sure what I'll blog about on the road, but I'm sure some bit of randomness is bound to tickle my fancy at some given point. Anywho, thanks to all my recent followers, I promise I'll keep reading everyone's blogs and I'll have some cool new posts up in the next week. Ta-ta for now!
