So I was practicing how to write a press release, I did my research on the format and started to write what follows.

My inspiration was based on television (The weather channel), I looked over to my right and saw some drinks so that added more “natural flavor” to the mix. To wrap it up I figured why not make this entertaining?

Enjoy

DreamWorks Turbo or Pixar's Car's

I noticed that summer usually boost a large amount of action and animated films. This summer is not that different.

Fast and Furious 6 was released earlier in the year, with its big debut in the Super Bowl commercials. Personally, I am a fan on the series but I have not made it out to watch this one, it just seems like more of the same (action) from what I have seen in previous films.
 
 

I am more interested and inclined to watch the DreamWorks animated film titled Turbo because it looks like ridiculous funny stuff,

 odd and corny

but in a good way.
 

I asked my 9 year old nephew, “who do you think is better, Turbo or (Pixar's) Cars?”

                “Turbo! because he is much faster than Lightning McQueen!”

I wonder, will the movie Turbo be a story of overcoming obstacles or innovation?

Since Hollywood has the tendency to recycle, and sell many of the same stories, I’m going to say,

Overcoming obstacles with a humorous tone/touch.
 

Some disagree,

      Yesterday was interesting Saturday mostly because I attended the YAIA Meet up group.

This Meet Up group is composed of young professionals living in the city that just want to hang out and have ‘fun.’ Yes, I put fun in quotes because I am convinced it’s not a universal concept that people of different ages, genders and professions agree a pond.

Interesting conversations with different people are always rewarding and

After meeting some interesting and attractive females I found myself talking about upcoming movies, Turbo.

They agree on Innovation because it’s about a snail that races with F1 cars….and wins!!
I guess will just have to wait and SEE

Google AdWords Fundamental Exam


So, no too long ago I completed the first exam of Google AdWords, the Fundamentals exam, and finally I passed it with a 86%.
What can I say passing is passing.

The first time I took this exam I failed so bad I actually had enough time to write down all 91 question so I could study for the next time I would take it.

Although I did study for the exam I underestimated the difficulty. The PDF study guide Google provided is ridiculous big...about 500 pages of raw material.
That was painful to read, all so I could end up getting a 76%.

For my second endeavor at completing the Exam I signed up to Lynda.com, there I watched the Adwords essential training videos. Altogether the videos lasted about 6 hour but since I took notes it took me a bit longer, also it is worth noting that I took my exam June 2012 but the videos are a bit dates because they are from 2011.

I do not endorse cheating. I like to call it SHARING.

The following are questions I completed during the exam both the first and second time.

         Note: I have used this as a study guide and marked the answers, if you take a Google AdWords Fundamental Exam using exactly as the answers as they appear here, you are not thinking for yourself and you will fail. verify your answers with Lynda.com or Google learning Center PDF.

Frankly some of the answered are easy and correct.

And because this blog is about humor and not taking life to seriously I had to throw this in:
