Free candy

Listen up and listen really good.
If you ever want to get my attention,use just two words:free candy.
I love free stuff and I love candy,combine the two and you’ll have me eating out of your hand in absolutely no time at all.
Right now I’m on cloud nine because I won some free candy from Mike and Ike.Their candy is really,really,really good and you’ll get hooked on it so don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Won a camcorder from Spotwinner

Monday, December 8th, 2008

My latest internet addiction is a site called Spotwinner.
The concept of the site is simple…you watch ads,collect “spotcash” and then redeem that spotcash for gift certificates.Each ad you watch also earns you an entry into that day’s sweeptakes.Spotwinner is always giving away super cool prizes and I was lucky enough to win a camcorder in one of their sweepstakes.

The camcorder gods must really love me because right around the time I won the camcorder from spot winner,I got an email notification from another company informing me that I had won a AIPTEK ICAM Blue Camcorder in their sweepstakes.

Tropic Thunder movie passes

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I won advance screening passes from FHM magazine to see Tropic Thunder and I wasn’t going to go because well,it looked like a silly movie but I’m glad I went.I laughed so hard I actually cried.
If by now you haven’t seen the movie,you really need to put it on your must see list.Yes its silly but you will laugh.You will laugh really hard.If you need a reason to go see the movie,go see it because of this guy.He literally steals the spotlight from everyone.He is funny.He is very funny.He is very,very,very funny in Tropic Thunder.

Get Smart movie ticket

Get smart movie ticket


A good friend of mine and I were discussing ways to save money this morning and I suggested switching to a scooter instead of driving a car.I googled scooters trying to see what the latest “hottest” scooter model is and I ended up on some site with a subway/Get Smart instant win banner.Long story short,I clicked on the banner and played their instant win and what do you know?I won 2 free bags of chips and a free movie ticket to see Get Smart.

I’ve already seen Get Smart…I watched it because the Rock aka Dwayne Johnson is in it and well,he’s handsome!Plus its a goofy,truly funny movie — the perfect way to relax and de-stress after a rather hectic work week.Once my ticket gets here,I’ll definitely go see the movie again.Thanks subway.

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I entered the Mr.Magorium’s Wonder Emporium contest on countingdown.com and on 12/10/07,I got an email informing me I had won one of the runner up prizes…the Official Movie Poster and Sock Monkey Key Chain.Its nothing big but a win is a win and I’m certainly not going to turn it down.The studio sent me the poster and keychain and my son has already claimed both as his..ahh the joys of parenthood.

This is what the keychain looks like..freaky but it makes my little dude laugh!
