I love my Oldies But Goodies

I have very fond memories of taking naps in my grandparents bed at their house with the radio on listening to oldies music. I would lay in their air-conditioned bedroom, tracing patterns in the wallpaper with my eyes as the soft strains of their favorite oldies radio station trickled into my ears.

It is interesting how the hits of the early or ‘golden’ ages of rock ‘n roll have maintained their popularity. I mean, how can you resist “Big Girls Don’t Cry”? Somehow the melodies are just so catchy that these classic tunes never seem to go out of style. Of course, some of their appeal becomes a bit corny or cultish over time, but they’re still very fun!

One of my first CD purchases as a young adult with my own spending money was the greatest hits of Lesley Gore. You know…”It’s My Party and I’ll Cry if I Want To” fame? And the lesser known sequel song, “Now It’s Judy’s Turn to Cry”? Well, while I may not agree with the vengeful sentiments of the songstress now, there’s no denying that she’s indelibly left a mark on American culture for better or worse.

I love that because so many other people online share your interest, no matter what it is, you can find some great lists of oldies music that other people love as well. I have discovered some great tunes I had never heard of before this way and am always on the look out for new lists in all genres, not just oldies music. I also love going on streaming music sites and just letting it play randon songs – yes you have to sit through quite a few that aren’t to your taste but there’s also a high chance you’ll find something new you love.

What are your favorite oldies songs?

 

Who is Michael Masterson?

Let Brian G. Johnson help you become the successful Internet marketer which you are meant to be. Follow this link and get instant access to his free Mini Internet Marketing Mini Course.

Michael’s philosophy is that if you work and play hard and keep on doing what you really love to do well into your octogenarian years, you won’t just be doing wishful thinking about having a good life. He agrees with health expert, Dr. Al Sears’ that you can move like you’re feeling 50 years old even when you’re a 100 years old. Michael recommends reading Reset Your Biological Clock to reach that stage in life.

On the business side, in late January of 2011, Michael offered “How to Get a Good Job Now… Even if You’re Fresh out of College”. The newsletter contents also included an article on Profit Opportunity: Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) and The Language Perfectionist: The Moral of the Story. In early February, Michael reiterated some of what he covered in January’s missive while expounding on the subject.

MLP’s are companies that take a different approach to success in the oil and gas zone, just like Sears does with your person. Michael explains that MLPs don’t drill or explore, they don’t buy or sell gas or oil. They just move it and process or store it. Their income I based on the volume that goes through the pipelines. So by owning an MLP, you get quarterly distribution payments like you would receive dividends. Michael goes on to advise on what to look for regarding this type of investment.

Insofar as Internet Entrepreneurs are concerned, Michael touts an Internet Marketing Focus Plan that’s explained on one page. Amazing! He says you can have a clear vision of and Internet business as well as a set of objectives while you define the tactics needed to take any business to the next stage. Hear him out.

 

Personalized gifts rock

I just love to get Personal Creation birthday gift ideas online as I love to give and receive unique gifts – it’s so easy to just buy typical and every day things for people these days but it’s a lot harder to come up with something more interesting and personalized. All of my favourite gifts are personalized so that’s what I try to give as often as possible as well.
