Virgin Gives Back.

Virgin Mobile has launched Re*Generation phone, the Samsung Galaxy Ace II x, which is expected to raise over $200,000 for at risk and homeless youth programs in Canada.
It's a limited edition phone where 15 bucks from each sale of this phone will go to help these programs in Canada. Over 65,000 thousand Canadian Youth don't have a home.

So in a unique way if you are still undecided on a purchase of a phone this season maybe the Virgin Re*Generation is a good reason to purchase. Do good by buying this phone. If you already have a phone plan with Virgin then you can still help by agreeing to have $1 added to your mobile phone bill every month to make a difference. Every little bit counts. This is just a nice way that Virgin is helping in the community.

New York City Never Sleeps - Wrong!!

I had the opportunity to visit New York City recently with friends. Here is a quick overview of our trip with @Canadian88 and @beachrockinc cheapdude.com Now I've been to NYC several times but this trip was unique because it was very unplanned and random. The way a trip with guys should be. While exploring the city, I had a smartphone and camera in hand to take photos of pretty much anything that caught my attention. I took a photo of 1 person who was sleeping. I took the pic because of the randomness and let's be honest it's funny at first!

After walking many streets of New York, I continued to take more photos and suddenly noticed a pattern that lots of people in NYC are sleeping. It was not my initial idea to take photos of people sleeping it just became apparent and random. So here is some photos from my observations. It is sad that most of the pics are people who are probably homeless. What began as just an observation became a reality we live. Hopefully this addresses and brings to life the real life issues people are experiencing in the USA and in other cities. I'm not a political guy but there is obviously something wrong with these pictures.

I'm not sure how this post will be received but I'll let you know that it started as a joke and became more of a reality check to me. Going on this trip made me learn not to take anything for granted and to appreciate what life gives to you. Tell me what you think. What's your reaction?
