My Favorite Blank

There are two more awesome rock ballads to go in my top 10 countdown of the best rock ballads of all time. It’s been a fun journey going this far and remembering some of the best rock ballads of all time. I’m sure some of you might have forgotten 1 or 2 of the rock ballads that have been featured in my top 10 countdown. I believe most would have known all 8 songs that I have did so far and believe even more would know my second best rock ballad on the top 10 countdown.

2nd Greatest Rock Ballad of All Time

This is my choice for number 2 on the countdown!

This song was really huge when it came out back in 1988. I believe just about every teenager and even the adults were a fan of this song. Poison certainly struck gold when they released Every Rose Has Its Thorn. This was the type of song back in the 1980’s that you would go camping and without any guitars or musical instruments, you could get about 4 or 5 people singing this song together in harmony and it was an awesome campfire song to sing. I can still remember today when I was out working in the city of Canton and two co-workers of mine on a Saturday afternoon got together and sung Every Rose Has Its Thorn. I really didn’t pay much attention to it at the time when it was being played on the radio, but after two of my co-workers sung this song together, I could never get enough of hearing this song. I have listened to it everyday since then, anytime I’m at a club or hear it being played on the radio. This song has a lot of memories for me, but it is worthy of a slot in anyone’s top 10 countdown of the best rock ballads of all time.

Poison’s Every Rose Has Its Thorn was on their 2nd album Open Up and Say… Ahh! and it was the 3rd single that got released from that album. This song reached number 1 status in the USA back in 1988 on Christmas Eve and it stayed there for 3 weeks and carried on over into 1989. So I guess you could say this song stayed number 1 for two years. No not really, but was listed as the number 1 ranked song in this country for different years and that’s really no big surprise when you hear just how good this song really is.

Brett Michaels wrote this song in response to a failed relationship with a California stripper. After performing a show in Dallas, Texas; Brett gave the young lady a call and he heard a man’s voice in the background and this broke his heart. So the love affair might have ended, but born from it, is one of the best power rock ballads of all time and its so good, I gave Every Rose Has Its Thorn 2nd place honors in my top 10 countdown.

So that does it for this time and now I only have 1 more great rock ballad to add to complete this top 10 countdown. If you missed any of my other selections, just go look at the post I did on the 3rd best rock ballad ever and it will show a recap at the bottom of the page for the entire countdown so far. So stay tuned, because number 1 is next!

There is one thing that all successful websites have in common. It is the same thing you will need in order to be successful online with your business. That one thing is something we like to call traffic. Traffic is the amount of visitors that come to your website and it’s just like the cars on the road and why it is referred to as traffic. We think of traffic as bunch of cars going very slow on the interstate or a red light that has cars backed up for miles. This is the traffic we are most familar with and we don’t like this type of traffic. We do like the traffic that is visitors coming to our websites and the more traffic you have online is the greater value your website will be to you. So in order to do well online with a business, you must be willing to drive traffic to your website.

The process of finding traffic never ends, but once you do have the traffic coming into your website at a nice rate; then it’s time to start turning those visitors into customers. If you achieve a high amount of traffic each day to your website, but aren’t making any sales or getting any new referrals, you might want to check the design and layout of your website. Make sure your website is easy to understand and that all the proper links for navigating your website is placed in the best places possible!

So just don’t forget your first goal and that’s to drive as much traffic to your website as possible. The next step is to make sure you have the layout of your website as easy to use and understand as possible. Your last step is just a nice overall design and color scheme. You want colors that match, stick out and you do want a couple of fancy graphics. The fancy graphics on your webpages will be the thing that separates your website from the ones that are similar out there. Just make sure you don’t add too many computer graphics on your webpages, so that users can load all the pages fast. If you take care of all of these easy steps,  I’m sure you will soon start to see the fruits of your labor.

I have really put in some long hours on the computer lately. I really could use a nice vacation and it would be good if I could take a week off to have a vacation. I think just hoping on some large ship and sailing away would be the perfect vacation for me right now. I need something that would relieve all the stress and money problems I am facing. One of those large boats that take passengers on cruises would be the perfect gift for me. I would be up for an Alaskan cruise or even one of the Mediterranean cruises would be great, just to take and leave all of my problems behind.

I have never taken a cruise before, so this would be a first for me. I do love the water and going to the ocean is always a great place to have a vacation. I have managed to go deep sea fishing before in the ocean, but I don’t think that would be the same as a cruise. Our fishing boat was very small compared to the big ships you can take cruises on. It’s like a little city on some of these boats and I bet you wouldn’t even know that you were on the water. It really does sound nice thinking about a cruise vacation right now, but I’m not sure if I will be able to go on one this year. I do plan to take a cruise sometime in my life, so this will be something I do someday. I might just have to get on one that will take me to Hawaii and maybe I can find a small island down there and claim it for my self.

Have you ever seen an ostrich? Of course you have and they are those huge birds that you couldn’t mistake for any other bird. Those large birds do have some very interesting feathers and maybe you can find something to do with them. Those of you that have a very creative mind probably could fix something up good with ostrich feathers. I think those folks that do all the arts and crafts can put anything into one of their creations. I don’t think it would be hard to add in a few feathers for a new creation. If this topic does have your attention and you would like to try and make something with ostrich feathers; then be sure to post your pictures up some where online, so I can take a look at your creations or inventions using the feathers from an ostrich. I’m sure a lot of people out there have used bird feathers to create other nice works that would be artsy. I just bet it’s rare to find those that have took ostrich feathers and created some magical piece of work. Please be sure to let me see your pictures if you do try this and leave any replies for ideas that you have for using an ostrich feather or feathers to create an art and craft’s type project.

Sometimes our cell phones don’t work indoors the way we would like for them to. If you have trouble keeping a signal at the office or in an apartment building, there might be some help you can get. Signal boosters or small antennas can make a big difference and many times this will help cell phone users keep a signal. You might just have a big house and have trouble with the cell phone signal in certain rooms. These problems might can be fixed too and perhaps a cell phone repeater would help with signals that are hard to find indoors. See if there is something you can do to fix your indoor cell phone troubles and then you won’t have to worry about going to a certain area, just to talk on your cell phone indoors.
