Let's try this again!

    Almost another year gone by and I am yet again attempting the blog thing! I think this time in attempt to keep my head in it I will keep these posts a bit smaller and less like an essay. I am making an effort to become fully engrossed in social media and networking.  I feel that in this day and age it's the only way to be heard.  

    Year in review; As you already know I am going to start trying to at the very least put out a monthly blog.  I also have revamped my Twitter and Facebook to be a little more exciting and "inspirational, humorous, informative, etc.." I am trying hard not to just do the typical "Brock is driving around and looking at stuff". I noticed especially this year that I was getting 1000 updates a day on my news feed recently about "finals suck" and "one more to go". It made me realize no one cares haha.  I feel like if my status or posts can't make someone laugh or give some sort of something to the viewer then I don't need to post it. 

     Anyway.. I also joined LinkedIn which is great for those of you seeking business ins and outs! Great info on companies and it also gives you a way to see who does what at those various companies. Also, those of you looking for jobs search around on LinkedIn see if it helps you.

     I have also given thought to starting a YouTube page.  The only thing is I need to put some effort into thinking out what type of page I would want to start.  YouTube is an insanely quick way of getting recognition if it's done right and if you're passionate about what you do.. (Insert plug for Cory07Ink here) <-- seriously he is taking all the right steps to be successful at this YouTube thing. 

     Lastly, the explanation for this recent resurgence of the blog is because I have recently been approached by a few companies asking me if I would like to lay out a social media plan for them and possibly operate it for them on a contractual basis.  I feel like in order to get the best understanding of it all I need to dig into it more and operate my own on a much more personal level, so here we go.... enjoy! Get inspired! Check this video out!

   Today I built a tiki bar! Yes that's right a tiki bar!  This was the first nice day in a long time! It seems like all I have seen is ice and snow.  It's about time! So, in honor of the beautiful weather. I decided to go out and gear the place up for spring and summer.  I'm going to build a deck w a grill and the tiki bar and then spruce up my fire pit area.  It should be a good time are casa de Brock Roberts this year.  

    I feel that this year is going to be more about enjoying life and having fun.  I know the career is something I'm going to keep in my crosshairs also.  I want to turn that into something fun that I will enjoy also. In preparation for this spring/summer I want to take the party outside and make sure everyone has something to do. There is going to be lots of carpentry skills involved, but hopefully it will all end up spruced up before spring gets here. Going to be hard to accomplish everything with work, beautiful new niece and all these projects but I'm ready for it.  Get excited! Great weather is on the way and great times are ahead of us all!
