How to get the best cabinetry deals

If you want to get the best deals in cabinetry in your local area the best thing to do is to avoid big retailers because all they want is your money. Another thing you really want to pay attention to is the quality of the product that is being given to you. The cheapest product may not be the best product and may not last as long.

When I was looking to remodel my  kitchen I wanted to have the best cabinetry available to me. I looked online and decided to go to home depot first. I went to the cabinetry section and I was blown away by how bad I was treated. I am 24 years old and I guess the man that was helping me out thought I was not capable of needing cabinetry to remodel my kitchen. I was already disappointed and I did not want to buy from home depot.

So I did what every millennial does and I google searched cabinetry Palm Beach Gardens, FL and I found a nice small business called Cabinetry Bath & Flooring located off of PGA Blvd. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Mike who treated me like a friend and let me walk around the showrooom as I found what I liked. After about 30 min of talking with mike I decided on what I wanted to get for my kitchen.

The process was very easy, at least easier than I thought. Once I decided what I wanted, Mike ordered everything I needed and gave me a date for installation. The delivery and installation was complete on time and it looked amazing. I just couldn't believe how much better my kitchen looked! I called Mike and thanked him because I was just blown away.

I called Cabinetry Bath & Flooring about a month later and got new wood flooring for my whole house. I knew exactly what to do, I googled flooring Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and went straight to the showroom. So take it from me, I feel like a remodeling pro now.

Wanting More From Life

Sometimes I wonder, what if? The question that never is really answered just assumed and sometimes regretted. There are opportunities lurking for those who seek it and, impossible to find for the ones who wait for it to fall on their laps. How can I become a better person? How can I stop procrastinating, how do I stop being the person I am and begin to be the person who I want to be? Is there a switch, is there a pill? The answer is not the one I seek but, the one I need.

Society is changing for better or for worse. There are endless tools within reach to help us and guide us to be better. The productivity killer for me is social media. The notification ring that goes off a hundred times a day. Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. Memes and videos that release a feel-good dose of dopamine, is just what I need to feel calm.

So what do I do? Delete every app I have to be more productive? Well, if that's what it takes, I will do it.

If I want more from life, I am going to squeeze every second I can from it to allow me to stay focused.

How I can have better time mangement?

What is time? Who came up with the concept of time? I am utterly confused on how time can be measured. When I watch a movie that I enjoy two hours feel like a half hour sitcom on TV, but if I am waiting for class to end, an hour can seem endless. Doesn't that mean that time is subjective and not bound to any rules of regulation. Since it takes the Earth 24 hours to do one revolution around its axis we call that a "day". Why does human time have to depend on the earth, if humans make the world go round? Am I right? Alright so maybe humans are not the center of the universe, but like many people I feel that there is just not enough hours in a day for me to get everything done. I want to do so much and at the end of the day I feel I did not accomplish anything.
  Now instead of complaining to the universe about time I will focus on something that is subjective. Time management. I think some people are born with the gift of time management and I am not one of them, but that doesn't mean that I can not become better. So I am coming up with a genius plan to not make time last longer, but instead improve my outlook on how I preform tasks.

  Mistake number one: Social Media. There is so much going on with friends, family and acquaintances that one tap on Facebook can last more that 10 minutes. Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter have also consumed so much out of my little time that I have.
Solution: Instead of logging into social using the app (if you are using your phone). Login using the browser. Delete the app! Unless you are using snapchat. Having to open the browser, then you have to log in takes more time and for the most part using the browser isn't as pleasant as using the app. If you are unable to delete the app then turn off all notifications from your social media applications and log off. Allow yourself to use social media for about 15-30 minutes and do not surpass the time allotted.  Make sure to schedule your time on social media.

Mistake: Over committing yourself. I always tend to want to do so much! Just like everything there is maximum one can do.
Solution: GOOGLE CALENDAR!!!!!!!!!  Lupe Fiasco said that hip hop saved his life. In my case Google Calendar has saved my life, and it has basically become my personal assistant. I have learned to constantly plan ahead, because not planning ahead causes chaos! Dedicate a day of the week to plan for the next week. I plan on Friday nights every week for the upcoming week. I set goals of different things I want to have done that week, and they don't have to big goals. For example I will jot down that I want to wash my car, change my bikes oil, and wash my bed sheets this week, I will add that to my calendar for the week. I try to plan everything from classes to grocery shopping and gym times.  Keeping my time organized I know what I can do and what I can not do. If anything comes up I open my Google Calendar app and check If I have time and add it into my schedule.
 Using Google Calendar can not be any easier and it is 100% FREE. All you need is a google account and if you have a gmail or android phone you already have one. If you do not have a gmail account just simply go to google.com and sign up. Once you have a google account type in calendar.google.com into your internet browser and bam you are now on the worlds greatest calendar. All you have to is click create on the top right hand side or click on a day of the weak to start inputting your daily activities. Once you have created your schedule you can set reminders! This is my all time favorite thing about google calendar. You can set up google to remind you by text message, notification on your phone(if you have the app) and or a friendly email. I would recommend to download the user friendly app on your android or apple device. From the app you can instantly view your schedule and add create new events. I think I am going to create a separate post just about google calendar, so I guess this is just a little sneak peak.

I will be adding more tips soon...

College Life..

  When I was in high school everything was so easy, my parents provided me with everything but nothing was ever enough, the cup is always half empty. Thinking back the school work was really easy, and these test they would give us were extremely easy as well. Being a current college student I look back and really wish I wasn't so lazy. I started great my freshman year and was a "straight A" student, then came my sophomore year and I started to slack off, junior year I became a pro at being a slacker, senior year I realized that I have to be successful in life and had to get my act together. I was able to gradate with a 3.0 GPA barley.......I wanted to leave Florida, I wanted to leave everything and start fresh again. I got accepted to the University of Hartford so of course I went, with the help of scholarships and Sallie Mae on my side. Once I was there I really regretted it, I had friends from class and my dorm building but I felt alone. Nearly everyday of my life I would sit with my family for dinner and share thoughts and laughter together, now 17 years later that was gone. What I missed more was the love from my mom. My mom has been there for me every single time I've needed her, my rock my true love, even though I don't always show it. So I ended coming back to the sunshine state and enrolling in college here, now this is were my true journey begins.

  I started college pretty easy not worrying about anything and trying to take it as easy as possible. Taking one or two classes at a time, it was great, stress free! I've been working full time and wasting time when I realized I need to step it up and finish ASAP! So I did, I became a full time student. I'm proud to say that I completed my first full time semester successfully and made it to the Deans List. No it was not hard, what was the hardest is actually trying to balance my social life with college and college with work and work with study time. Taking five classes having to give each one of them there own time to make sure I can pass the test. Unlike grade school were you have class work, home work, and tests, in college all I have is about 6 test a semester and that's what determines my grade. In one class all I had was a mid-term and a final that was it. I go to class listen to lecture, take really good notes, go home read the chapter, do the chapter quizzes, and whatever I wasn't sure I would look it up online.

  I rarely have time to go out with friends like I used to, no more clubs, movies and parties but on the bright side I've saved a lot of money on not going out. One huge downfall is that these textbooks are expensive!  Thankfully I won a scholarship and I don't have to pay for classes but textbooks are out of pocket. My mind and thoughts have expanded from learning more and more, this is only the beginning and dreams will be dreams if no actions are made. Either go big or go home, if you don't win you lose. That's my motivation and I won't stop because I can't stop. Graduation is attainable for me now. I start summer semester on Monday, no rest, but money doesn't sleep so why would I? 

Crushed.

So not to long ago I told you about a girl that I was crushing, truth is nothing happend.  Another girl came along, we had been talking for along time, actually 5 months and then we stopped because there's another girl that I really liked but she ended up going to Costa Rica and we stopped talking:( So me and this other girl started talking again the one from five months ago, and we went to see spiderman 2 Thursday at night and afterwards we went to the beach. It was about 2am when we got to the beach, and of course no one just goes to the beach at this time for no reason. We started making out then took it to the car. We had a romantic night under the moon and stars, it was an amazing feeling knowing that it was only me and her on the beach I felt special and made sure she felt special as well. After we were done I took her home  and I felt different. I want to meet someone new, someone I actually relate too.  I just have to much on my mind. 

I'm crushing...

There's always that one girl that catches my attention, but this time it's a different girl who I never thought I would like. When I go to work I'm not going to impress anybody or to look for a relationship, I'm there simply to make money and go home.  So there's this girl who I won't mention her name but I'm crushing on her. I noticed her to late though, I left my previous job about a week ago to work as the IT person at an Elementary school, which is actually pretty cool. Anyways back to this girl, she is beautiful in my eyes, she is 

funny, intelligent and has a brusque demeanor, which I adore haha. When we worked together I would see her from a distance and not really talk to her or even pay attention to her, but one day I did and from that day on I would always find any excuse to talk to her or just bother her. Now when I was with her I felt like we had a type of connection, a mutual bond perhaps but what I noticed is that when she would talk to other guys it seemed like she had the same attitude toward them too. I was confused and of course jealous. But I still tried to give her signals to let her know "hey! I'm interested in you!" So my last day of work came and I got her seven digits and I waited to text her, now when I texted her it took her over 8 hours to text back?? Sure she's a busy person but who doesn't have a minute to reply, the thing is I don't want to sound like a loser who keeps on texting and annoys the hell out of you. So I used twitter and I tweeted her for awhile but uhhhh I don't see this going anywhere. I sure don't want to keep my hopes up but if I don't do anything, nothing will ever happen and I will always live with regret. So tomorrow i will ask her out on a date. Now the awkward thing is I'm unsure if I should call her or text her? Like no one really calls, but calling sounds necessary but what if she doesn't pick up? Now if I text her, how long do I have to wait for a reply? Well only the future holds the answers to my questions. 

Well I'll keep you posted!

Who is "BLegend"?

BLegend is my stage name, short and sweet. The origins of this mysterious alter ego date back to the good old high school days in 2010. I was interested in this so called rap "game" but didn't know to much about it, nor did I have lyrics or any material. I knew I was good at poetry and loved to write, so I wrote a few poems, with a rhythm in my mind. In my 4th Period class there was a classmate who's name was Corey. We knew each other from our sophomore year which we had a class together, I don't remember the situation but rap came up and he said he wrote lyrics. I was stunned! He took out his hipster top of the line iPhone 3G and showed me some of the lyrics he had a wrote in his notes. I was amazed, I saw the way they were wrote and from that day forward my lyric days began.
I started gathering a hefty amount of lyrics writing down rhymes that would come to my mind, even though they didn't make sense. Corey and I were doing text freestyles which improved my lyrics. It was probably the coolest thing at that time for me. About a month later we wanted to get serious and take the first step on the ladder by recording a song. So we did.
I went over Corey's house and using his laptop we played the beat, using his iPhone recorder we recorded. Was it great? Of course!! This was a song that I would never forget. It was so simple and unplanned the worst quality but it spawned the future.
Now in 2013 almost 3 years of BLegend being born, I am proud to say that BLegend and Tripple C(Corey) are back we have now established our selves as "Rivals"- the name of our rap duo. For the past 3 months we have been working on our first mixtape as "rivals". The release should be by July of 2013. And yes I plan it being a huge impact in our areas. After all BLegend only released one song in 2012 that was recorded in 2011. I have recorded over 50 songs in the past years and I have only released about 25% of them. 2013 is the year of my return even though BLegend has never left.
