Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

CD/Album/Music Review: Celine Dion - All The Way...A Decade of Song


All The Way...A Decade of Song was released in 1999 and is a mix of Celine Dion's greatest hits and new (at the time) material that she released for the album. It has 15 songs in total. The material released for the album included duets with Frank Sinatra and R-Kelly (which happened before the allegations of sexual abuse in his personal life came to light). The greatest hits material included songs like the theme from Titanic (My Heart Will Go On), which was probably her biggest hit, Beauty and the Beast, The Power of Love, and It's All Coming Back To Me Now) are included. While it does not include every hit she had up to that point in her career, but it has all the major ones.

Chances are if you were a fan of pop music in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, and especially if you liked ballads, you were probably a fan of Celine Dion. She was right up there with Mariah Carey as the women who were to the 90s what Madonna and Whitney Huston were to pop music in the 80s (even though both of them were still going pretty strong by the time Celine and Mariah hit it big. While Celine's career has pretty well tailed off by now, if you want a nice mix of her music, this is definitely a good choice.
