Scammed!
I recently began buying and selling products on eBay. The first product I listed happened to be a 3rd Generation Apple iPod Nano. It was also the first product of mine that I ended up "selling", or so I thought I did.
The buyer purchased the item and did not submit a payment anytime soon so therefore I decided to contact the buyer about how she would make the payment. She told me that she would pay through PayPal, and so I began to monitor my PayPal account and wait... And wait... And wait...
After a while no payment came into my account, so again I contacted the buyer would told me she had made the payment and to check my email that I should've gotten a email from PayPal about confirmation of the payment. So I checked and there was the email she talked about. It asked me to ship the item to the buyer's desired location. Once I had done that it asked me to send them the tracking number of the package and once I had done that I would be able to access the funds the buyer had paid me with.
It was convincing, so I got everything package and ready to ship. I even went to the post office and paid to ship the item and it was in the hands of the USPS.
Then I sat in the parking lot and I felt a little unsettled about the order so I called PayPal. When I did and I explained to them about what happened throughout the order process. Immediately after I told them they told me I had been being scammed by the buyer and I should get the package back.
So I did, and that was that. Yes I had been scammed but I luckily didn't loss anything.
So be careful when selling on eBay, because you may just get scammed.

iPhone & Technological Innovation
So last week I bought the iPhone 4. I love it so far!
To me it is a true testiment to technological innovation in people’s daily lives and within the workplace itself. The iPhone, along with countless of other technological advancements, can drastically help to increase and stimulate people’s productivity in the work that they do. For example, right now I am writing this blog right now on my iPhone while I’m just sitting around and I have a free moment. The new technology is engaging and stimulates me to want to do more things just because I can with such ease! Personally, I have seen my productivity double since I purchased the iPhone and have been using it to get tasks done with my school and work with Stop the Hate, Spread the Hope.
So basically the theme I’m trying to get across to everybody with this blog is that use technology to your advantage because using it the right way might just lead to your success.

The Egg Waiting To Be Cracked
Nick Longo is more than meets the eye; he is many things.
Nick Longo is a bright individual. An intelligent youth has hopes and dreams to be in the White House one day. The young eighteen year old conservative republican is a political activist who looks for positive change in his country and community. He also acquires a strong work ethic that motivates him to help bring that change in his living environments about. Longo is an entrepreneur and a business owner who tries to help people in all the work that he does. His creativity and bundle of ideas within his plethora of knowledge has helped him to succeed in all of his endeavors.
He may be little like an ant but he is strong like a bull. His heart is ten times bigger than his body, and he is a kind and caring individual. Longo is not only strong in heart but also strong in character.
Longo has a great sense of humor, is goofy, and is a funny individual. On top of the jokes he makes that always bring laughs to others, he isn’t afraid to laugh at himself. Longo is a good friend and can always be an ear for somebody if they need someone to listen.
An athletic young man who has been roughing it up on the wrestling mats since he was ten, Longo is also very competitive. He does not like to lose, but is okay in accepting failure. Longo is like the “little train that could” because he’s continuous effort to just keep trying. He is a strong young fellow who can lift far more than his own body weight.
Nick Longo is a professional in everything that he does in his life. He always tends to rise to the occasion when he is most vitally needed. A great public speaker and presenter; Longo always tries to use his powerful voice and strategic choice in words to help people understand any points that he is trying to get across.
Longo has the potential to rise like a rocket ship, and his potential is like an egg. You can do three things with an egg. One, you can drop it and will smash so nothing good will come of it. Two, you can leave it out and it will spoil so that the delicious nutrients inside will never be enjoyed. Or three, you can crack it just right and enjoy the delicious meal that you have created.
So when you first look at him Longo may just seem to be your average eighteen year old high school teenager who is striving to do his best in life, but underneath it all is a very deeply passionate person who is so many different things. Longo is an egg waiting to be cracked so that he may share his wonderful gifts and amazing talents with the world.
