Bottled Water: Blog Action Day

Plastic Tap Water Dance I’ll be the first to admit that I prefer bottled water over San Antonio’s tap water. In fact, other than some of the far flung mountain areas I’ve been able to visit in my travels, I’m not really a fan of tap water at all. Strangely enough, when I lived in [...]

Do you Yelp?

Yelp San Antonio “What in the world is Yelp?,” you might be saying. Then again, with it’s explosion of popularity over time, my guess is you’ve heard of it at least once. Yelp, simply put, is a review site. You create a profile and dig in. I’ve been yelping since September 2009 and have been [...]

Preparing for BlogWorld 2010

Preparing my mind, not packing my bags. As I prepare to head to BlogWorld and New Media Expo 2010 in Las Vegas, I started to think about what I want to come home with. Obviously, as it is Vegas, I’d like to come home with all my money and a lack of photos of me, [...]

Hi Izea, welcome to RErockstar.com I’ll let my intro video do most of the talking, but consider this my entry into the Izea BlogWorld 2010 Contest. I came into the contest a bit late, but I think I have some compelling reasons why you should select me as the first prize winner. My original plea [...]

Texas Roadside Assistance – (800) 525-5555

Texas is a friendly state. For those of you who’ve never lived in Texas, Texans are a pretty helpful and friendly bunch. We’ve got strong opinions about a lot of things, but it still amazes me how many people say “hello” or stop to give you a hand (I grew up on the East Coast, [...]
