What's Up Wednesdays: Really Living Life

Every Wednesday, I collect a number of blog posts that I found on the Internet and share them through Beyond the Rhetoric. This week’s speedlink focuses on the importance of living life to its fullest, whatever that happens to mean for you.

It only makes sense that we start with Ray Ebersole’s post. That’s because it offers a simple reminder for us to cherish all of life’s little moments. Are you really using every moment wisely? Are you living in the moment? Are you really seeing the sunrise and feeling the sandy beach beneath your feet?

Maybe beaches aren’t your thing. Then, you might be interested in Carl Nelson’s post. He compares the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the context of 2011. A lot has changed since these gaming consoles were first released (I got my Xbox 360 almost three years ago), so old comparisons may no longer be relevant. If you’re in the market for a console, which one is the better buy?

Continuing on the gaming front, we have a very excited Tyler Cruz. That’s because he recently acquired an electric guitar. It’s not just any guitar, though, since its the Fender Squier Stratocaster that works with Rock Band 3. Yes, it is a real electric guitar that also happens to work with a video game. That brings a whole new level of difficulty to the mix!

Melissa Cameron has an entirely different take on music that has nothing to do with video games. Instead, she describes how to begin piano lessons on a budget. Her daughter Samantha wants to learn, but Melissa sees that traditional half hour lessons cost anywhere from $20 to $50. That can get expensive very quickly!

You might be asking how Carl finds time to game and Tyler finds time to play guitar. Well, Dawn Foster can help you find more time in your schedule so you can do the same. Whether you want more time for your hobbies or you want to get that side project the attention it deserves, these tips should give you a little more time freedom. Be effective in your scheduling!
