First Generation...Yes or No??

AH as you know yesterday April 2nd was the unleash of the "anticipated" Apple IPAD!!! BADUM DUM DUMMMMMM!!!! Ha ok so maybe Apple went a little too overboard with thsi product by yelling chants like I-P-A-D who is rea-dy!?!? But that's beside the point, personally I am not impressed with the IPAD itself because it lacks so many things people wanted like a camera, 3g on its base model, a contract with VERIZON...BUT it let us down and it brings me to my point about "First Generations Products."

FGP:
Otherwise known as FGP, being first isn't always the smartest thing to invest in because it usually is overpriced, comes with flaws, and essentially it's the BETA testing of the product. The reason you want to hold off on buying a FGP is simply because they will (at least 99%% of the time) will always make a 10 TIMES BETTER Second Generation of the product. For example, the first Iphone cost $600 dollars. The buyers were mesmerized by scroll touching, access to thousands of apps, and the fact it was so revolutionary. BUT little did the first buyers know that 5 MONTHS LATER the SAME model with less flaws came onto the market for $299!!! That's literally half as much as the original cost 5 months earlier!!! It goes to show that FGP are NOT at all the best way to spend YOUR money on Take time to be patient for that SGP because it will always be better than the first! :)

***I did not make this article to hinder you from buying any Apple Products.

Addicted to YOUR smartphone??...I know I am

Hey Everyone! Hola como estan ustedes por mis hispanas leidos! Today I was in the clinic waiting for my girlfriend medical check-up and I picked up "Today's Health" magazine and started skimmin' through it. And then suddenly and article of EPIC proportions HIT ME! Entitled "Are you addicted to your smartphone," the article talked about having the convenience of a smartphone in the palm of your hands releases the same hormone that people addicted to CRACK secrete. It's FASCINATING too, because I always find myself checking my phone waiting for a text from someone..ANYONE!! And the reason I do this is because I now have an emotional attachment to my phone. I wait for a "high" and that "high" being receiving a text from someone, and preferably it being a happy one :-) This psychoactive subconscious phenomena has affected MILLIONS with cell phones and now I am going to try to inform the public!!

First: Mental Barrier
A treatment it said for getting rid of this is start by forming a mental barrier from you and your phone. TECHNICALLY!!! Every time your phone goes off you DO NOT have to check it immediately...but sadly most of check it instantaneously. So, step 1is to form that barrier and resist the urge to just reply to that text.

Second: It's not going ANYWHERE
You are in a car and your phone goes off, you check it, and put yourself at risk and others by checking your phone. I challenge everyone, myself included, to start by turning off your cell phone while driving. Get to point B from point A by having a consistent look at the road and not your lap. This is just a small step toward breaking the addiction from smartphones, but I know it will work.

Studies show it takes 6 weeks to break an addiction, so from this point out forum I will join you in the race to stop the SPA (SmartPhone Addiction) and together we can FIGHT AND WIN THIS WAR..........................(ok....maybe a little too dramatic)!
Nonetheless, spread the word and let me know what YOU think about this addiction. Is it phony? Are you addicted?

Thanks Mario :)

Don't touch that Paycheck.

Hey Young Free Tennessee! Yea, you know what I'm talking about. Yea PAYCHECKS BABY!!! They are like any good band...They rock while they last. Whenever its payday everyone gets so excited because they know they countless hours they spent at their second home is now going to be for enjoyment,right??...WRONG! Reality taps us on the shoulder and says, "Hey buddy YOU got bills to pay, and a stomach screamin' for the new 5 cheesy layer burrito from Taco Bell!" Unfortunately, the whole paycheck goes to all our bills, but I have discovered a smart way to never see some of the money that you earned...Direct Deposit is the smartest way to put money in another account before even seeing what you have!!! Start with putting away 5% of your paycheck every paycheck and watch the money grow as you let your money work for YOU!

Star 102.1 Knoxville's #1 hit Radio Station!

Good afternoon Young Free Tennessee! This morning 3/15 I was a special guest on our local radio station Star 102.1 on the Mark, Kim, and Frank Morning Show!! It was very awesome and I had a ton of fun watching myself improvise on the spot with words and ideas!! :) As short as it was I definitely got to get my name out there as all 3 of the hosts tried to toy around with my crazy name, Mario Moncada Urbina and associated that kind of name like Sarah Jessica Parker! Haha, but it's all in fun and games! Wanted to give a big shout out to them for inviting me and Jessica Wade for setting it all up for us! Well, I will have video showing my experience there and keep you guys posted!
