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!
I like the header picture Michael 😉 I’ve started doing my Tai Chi, Chi Gung and, Hsing Yi and Karate again this week. I didn’t know how much I missed it and what it makes you see.
I also know a great way to get cheap Piano and music lessons: Have a relative that is a member of a band. On YouTube search “As Bridges Burn”.
I like Dawn’s post, it is a good reminder of time management, scheduling and just giving yourself some free time.
Thanks for the linkage Mike!
yes , nice roundup of the week
Yeah that was a pretty sweet Guitar that Mr Cruz got for himself. I didnt even know they had guitars that could play also double up and play for real, and in the virtual world.
