I Am A Blogger

"I am a blogger."

In this day and age, 99% of the population could make that statement. Seems like everybody has a blog now-a-days.

Vlog- a video blog

podcasts, webcasts, internet TV show, online journal and streaming video are terms I hear frequently.

How do you get your blog to reach the number one spot on Google without paying any money?

Maybe if I type some words that are trending right now??? Here is a list:

Perez Hilton
Mel Gibson
Gary Vaynerchuk
Tony Hsieh
Don Rickles
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Michael Jordan
Unemployment Insurance Benefits Extension

well, that is good enough....let's see if my blog becomes more popular now...lol

H.E.B.

HEB is a grocery store in Texas. The HEB in my town is open 24 hours a day. I often go in there at 2am to buy stuff. The night stockers take over the store at this time. They park pallets of items in random places. It makes it really difficult to grab the items I want to buy. If you grab from their pallet, then they seem to get angry and act like they will harm you. Most of the time I end up leaving the store without buying anything. Why does HEB leave the store open for the customers all night long? How much money do they actually make during this time frame? Let's say they make $100 between the hours of 12am and 8am. They pay one cashier $8 for that 8 hour shift. That is a total of $64 in expenses. $100-$64= $36. HEB goes through all of this trouble to make $36 a night? I believe that is pretty fair numbers. That does not make any sense to me. Well, how about the long run? What if they are open 365 days out of the year?
$36 X 365= $13,140 Hey, that sounds a little better. I did not factor in the electricity bill as an expense because they leave the lights on overnight anyways for the night stockers. Their thought process is prob this: "We have workers there already and the lights are on already..we might as well make a little extra money while we are at it."
