Changes Galore! Vlogness!

I will soon be moving to my own URL!  Hooray for me!! 1&1 has giving me a deal to try out my own URL and no more having to put blogspot in the middle.

Thecleverleaf.com  I will update with more information about the new URL but for now enjoy the first installment of

The Clever Leaf Vlog Episode 1!

I will be introducing videos into my Website for more of another way to intake the media. Also this is more of a test, next one will actually have maybe background music, more subtitles and just more pleasing to the eye. I just wanted to give my first vlog a try, and as you probably can tell I didnt edit to much of it. And I am crashing from a red bull so I hope its been edited correctly, If not well please make fun of me and tell me how much I need to do things correctly.




So Enjoy my fellow friends!

Instagram, potential employers, and dangerous waters

Instagram! Now who has not heard about the lovely Instagram? Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, Facebook, Twitter (insert some other famous application people love to use) What do these brilliant ideas have in common? They either A) give some fast entertainment; B) Links you with people of the past thus giving you some fast entertainment if they are know not as cool as they were back when you were a wee little one. Its fascinating how much people love instagram and I too used to use it, and maybe will.. And all you need to do is say go about your day and you see something or your thinking "man im bored, I wanna do a funny pose and make a weird face.. wait i need to filter this to oblivion! Lets throw in Sepia, ya Sepia.. I need tags!!!  #bored #what #blahh #beerisfun. And there you have it! grade A instagram content waiting for the masses to examine.

Its amazing and fun because now a bunch of people get to see you in a funny pose in a sepia filter, and they know you are bored and you enjoy beer more then the average person. The Social connection is so amazing you do not need to leave your house! I mean who would want to? When you can just Facebook your best friend and read his latest status.. I mean getting in a car, or riding a bike and meeting them in person all the time is so 1990! Now I am not putting down anyone, heck I do this on more then one occasion I just wonder if this is making us more secluded into our on homes and computers? Are we just now going to be hands talking through keyboards and the sun and daily activities are a chore?
To me a lot of social interaction has changed for me. It seems like it was normal to go over to someones house that you wanted to hangout with and things will be cool. Now its going on the computer, go to facebook or whatever way of communication and just start talking there. instead of real laughter, your fingers are doing the lol-ing. And that word, lol when use tells the person "hey I'm laughing right now, you need to know this bro" but in reality your reaction can be anywhere from  hyperventilating from laughing or just a crooked smile. I means there varities of lol's like the regular lol, the LOL which is like  your screaming at the person that your laughing, I can go on about more but my book "The book of Lol's" is not done yet.

Also this lack of real social interaction make it harder for people to get jobs from employers looking for some people to do their bidding for a hourly wage. I don't think a employer wants a facebook message from a person wanting to apply for a job saying " hi lol, are you still hiring lol? It wood be kewl if we can be friends and you pay me lol (Smiley face)"
I think that the employer would give up on humanity.. And for some reason I thought it was a good idea to just go to monster.com or indeed.com those job sites find a few jobs I like and just send over my resume.. I don't know why I was thinking I was going to be getting paid good so soon from this "hard" work. Its pretty much me just going to random places of business and whispering my name once and running out the place thinking that I done justice in the world.

Me being the blogger/father/husband/wanting to do something awesome in life. I feel like I owe it to myself to get my name out there. To say "Hey world, Tyler Leaf is here and I want to earn some of this money here that will give my family and I a good and comfortable way of life!" So here is some entertainment in many ways!!

Facebook- We can be friends
Instagram- I will add funny pictures, and you will have no choice but to L O L
Angry Birds/ Doodle Jump - I will give some entertainment for the few mins to spare.
Twitter - I have a book full of useless information in my place they call the brain
YouTube - I know i promised this about 3 times its coming!

The Clever Leaf is Expanding and I hope you enjoyed this article and how I show you how I will take "The Clever Leaf" to new highs!

The Clever Leaf Signing off!!

P.S Sorry for the horrible grammar I will definitely learn more as the times go by
