Your birthday happens once a year like clockwork, and it’s
time to think about what you want to do for the next one. Sure, there are a lot
of times you just want to go to a bar with your friends and celebrate. However,
as you get a little older, you might decide you would like to do something a
little more original and unique. Sure, there are plenty of unique party ideas to choose from, but what if you skipped
the party altogether?
It’s your birthday so, for the most part, you can pretty
much do whatever you choose. This is the perfect opportunity to be as original
and unpredictable as you can be and to really choose something fitting for your
personality. Get a load of these unpredictable ways you can go about
celebrating your birthday this year.
#1. Do Nothing

No, you didn’t read that wrong. What better and more unique
way of celebrating your birthday these days than doing nothing? In a time when
everyone is striving to be unique and different, this is an excellent way of
being original and putting your own personality on things. There is no rule out
there that says you have to do something for your birthday, so the best thing
to do is to think outside the box. Perhaps doing nothing this year is just what
you need to cap off the year in quirky style.
#2. Plan a Thrilling Activity

There are a lot of activities you could choose to do for
your birthday, and many of these have changed and evolved over the years. In
the past, you might have thought about going paintballing or engaging in laser
tag. However, these days you might want something a little more cerebral like
an Escape Room .
Planning a thrilling activity is so important because it allows you to bond
with friends as a group, and have a birthday experience that is unlike anything
you might have had before.
#3. Go Abroad

Here’s a unique and unpredictable idea, why not go abroad for your birthday?! This doesn’t have to be a long
vacation, but you could book a weekend city break to celebrate in style. This
is an excellent way of ensuring you celebrate your birthday with a difference.
You have to make sure you book your trip somewhere that isn’t too far away, and
that you’re going to enjoy. There are so many wonderful places you can check
out, and you should invite some close friends to come along with you.
#4. Geocaching

Have you ever been geocaching? It’s only the best thing
ever! Basically, it’s like a mixture of orienteering and a treasure hunt. You
head along coastal paths seeking clues to eventually lead you to treasure or a
destination. Geocaching is fun, silly, and lets you be a big kid again
for an afternoon. Of course, you might need to be near the coast for this to be
a viable option, but it is certainly a cool and unique birthday option.
How great are these 4 rad ideas for celebrating your
birthday in a unique and unpredictable way?! They are ideas that will help you
to choose things fitting to your personality, and you will be able to have a
memorable birthday (even if you do nothing).

The Dining Room: A place where you come and sit around a
table and eat a home cooked (most of the time) dinner with the ones you love.
It’s a place of comfort, love, and joy and because of that, it is one of the
most important places in the home. Sure, there is your bedroom where you rest
and recharge, but do you really have as many memories in your bedroom compared
to your dining room? Probably not. Same thing with an office, or a bathroom, as
well. Your kitchen does come close to being up there on the list, though,
especially if you have a table in your kitchen, as well. But, we are focusing
on your dining room. Your dining room deserves to look fabulous and that is
what we are discussing today. Here are a few ways I think you can turn your
dining room into a fabulous room that stands out:
Custom Table
There are so many affordable custom tables now. It seems like
everyone is trying out their skill in wood making and there are many Facebook
pages where people are crafting custom farmhouse tables and selling them. This
is a fantastic way to get a sturdy table, at a lower cost. Of course, there are
other options. Many big stores will have the option to customize your table
that you purchase, but of course, they will be more expensive. When you are
purchasing a table, make sure you consider how many people will be sitting at
the table, how much space you have in your room, and also what colors are in
your room. Do keep in mind that you can paint your room, if needed.
Comfortable Chairs
Comfortable chairs are a must. With the recent trend of
farmhouse tables, benches also made it in the ‘must have list’ and they could
be a good addition if you have a lot of people dining with you. Another reason
I love benches is the fact that they save room. You can just slip it under the
table when it is not in use and it is out of the way. When purchasing chairs,
make sure to consider how large your table is and who is going to be sitting in
your chairs. Although you do not want ugly chairs, I highly recommend making
them comfortable. Your dining room table is a place that you are supposed to
enjoy and make memories in. If you are too busy moving around because your
chair is uncomfortable, it will be harder to focus on the good times that are
right in front of you.
Flooring
Upgrading your flooring is definitely not necessarily,
however, I do recommend having flooring that is easy to clean. Your dining room
is destined to have spills and messes, especially if there are children around,
so make sure your flooring will not stain. Also, I highly recommend getting a
fashionable rug to your dining room. It just makes the space a bit more
luxurious and welcoming. There are many websites that sell rugs, so you do not
even need to go in store! Some that I recommend are Target and Overstock!
Decor
Your dining room does not need much, but adding a few decor
pieces will definitely spruce it up enough to make it fashionable and fabulous.
Add some candles along the center of your tables, a bar cart, and maybe a few
seasonal decor pieces and you are good to go! In the spring, I love white vases
with fresh (or fake) flowers and you can even reuse the white vase for other
seasons, as well. For example, in the fall, you can add fall foliage to it and
maybe some apples. In the winter, add eucalyptus and red berries. In the
summer, you could do flowers, or have bright citrus decor added in.
Artwork
The artwork in your dining room will be the star of the show
and you want to make sure it is special. If there is anything to invest in, it
is your artwork because it can potentially make you money in the long run. In
addition to making you money, it can turn a plain dining room into the most
fabulous dining room you have ever seen!
When you invest in artwork, you want to make sure to protect
them, as well. Your first area of concern is fading. You do not want your
artwork to fade, so make sure to invest in window films to protect your
furniture and artwork. If you have not heard of them before, window films are a
cost-effective UV protection. According to UHS Window Tinting and Blinds,
“Radiation from the sun is divided into three components: light that we can
see, and infrared and UV rays that we can only feel. As the sun strikes glass,
the window film acts as a shield that blocks harmful UV rays, as well as
regulates the amount of heat that passes through the glass. In turn, the
interior of your office or home will have a more comfortable temperature, even
without increasing the cooling or air conditioning capacity in the room. By
simply having a window film on your glass doors and windows, you can be
protected from the sun and reduce your energy costs at the same time.” Improve
the comfort of your home, save energy, and also improve the look of your home
by installing 3M™ Window Films with the help of UHS Window
Tinting and Blinds, located in the Metro Atlanta area.

Anyone who loves music also needs to experience the joys of live music, so you should definitely start doing this if it’s something you haven’t really embraced in life thus far. But when you're new to attending gigs, it can be a bit daunting and you probably don’t know what to expect.
You want every gig experience to be a positive one, but that takes planning and a good strategy. Don’t just dive into live music without planning things out first of all. This music lover’s guide to good gigging experiences will help you to get it right when you start tasting live music for the first time.
Stay Up to Date With Tours and Announcements
Social media is definitely your friend when it comes to staying up to date with tours and announcements. They get thrown out there all the time so you need to make a concerted effort to stay up to date with them if you want to attend certain shows by certain artists. Follow them on the main social media platforms so that you never miss a beat. It’s a good idea to also follow the accounts of local venues so you don’t miss their latest announcements either.
Make Lists of When Tickets Go on Sale
These days, many of the big performing artists in the world of music will have their tours and shows sell out in a matter of seconds. That’s why you should be careful to know when tickets go on sale and when you can first buy them. Failing to do that will most likely lead to disappointment when the shows sell out and you’re left without a ticket.

Know Where to Buy Tickets From When They’re Released
These days, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to buying gig tickets. There are dozens of sites that sell tickets, and you can usually buy them directly from venues or artist websites as well. Even if you can’t, you will find links that take you to the right places where you can purchase tickets. Then there are sites like TicketOffices that resell tickets. These are ideal for people looking for tickets they missed out on when they were first released.
Get Your Position Early if You’re Standing
Gigs can be busy and if you want to get best the stage and see the act up close, you’re going to need to get your position as early as possible. Of course, that’s not a big problem if you’re going to be seating but if this is a standing gig, you want to get a good spot. It might even be worth getting to the gig early and queuing up outside the venue if you want to be right at the front.
Charge Your Phone Before Leaving the House
You should never attend a gig without a properly charged phone. It’s one of those rookie mistakes that can really come back to bite you if you’re not careful. What if you need to contact someone or want to find a friend who you got separated from during the gig? Dealing with those kinds of situations is easy if you have your phone with you. But it’s harder when the battery is dead!
Prioritise Your Comfort
You definitely need to give some thought to how you’re going to dress for the gigs you attend. Nothing is more important than your own comfort so this should be what you prioritise when you get ready. You need to be able to move freely, and take particular care when choosing footwear because the wrong shoes can rub your feet and make the entire evening very uncomfortable. On top of that, be sure to pack light because you don’t want to be weighed down.

Don’t be Afraid to Go Alone
Many people hate the idea of attending gigs alone but it’s one of those things that’s never as bad as you imagine it to be before you try it for yourself. There will be plenty of other like minded people at the even and there’s nothing stopping you from socialising with them. You might even make some new friends along the way, so embrace your status as a solo gig-goer if you don’t know anyone with similar music tastes.
If you love music, you simply must take advantage of the local live music scene in your local area. Nothing is better than seeing your favourite artists performing live in front of you as you feel the floor shake. It’s one of the most exhilarating things you’ll experience, so enjoy it!
In my recent travels to Savannah, Georgia I had the privilege of listening to the music of Thomas Claxton, a performer who is garnering attention in major cities across the United States. Thomas is a vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist based in Savannah. I attended a concert featuring Funk-Rock pioneers, Mother's Finest, and Thomas Claxton and his band, The Myth, kicked off the show.
Talk about blown away by some great talent! Check out this rock classic , "Come Sail Away", that Thomas and The Myth performed at the show in November 2017 at The Stage On Bay.
Now you can hear why I was so impressed. As a student, Thomas studied classical music throughout his school years and was classically trained as a tenor by Mr. Jack Mullis and Dr. Lauren Ringwall. He played his first live performance at a coffee shop called, “Savannah Joe’s”, in the Savannah Mall when he was 17 years old and was performing at various live music venues and clubs throughout his high school years. Since that time, he has performed at every style of venue ranging from coffee shops and clubs, to theaters and multi-thousand seat arenas including, The Amway in Orlando and the Amalie Arena, (St. Pete Times Forum), in Tampa and others. He is a multi award-winning artist, including 7 nominations and 3 wins (Best Alternative Artist, Best Rock Artist, and Best Rock Recording) in the 2017 international, Indie Music Channel Awards that took place in Hollywood, CA at the world-famous venue, “The Troubadour”.
He has played in numerous major cities including: New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Nashville, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and many more. He has performed with numerous world-renowned performers including: Chuck Negron (lead vocalist for Three Dog Night), Mario Cipollina (Grammy Award-winning bassist and founding member of Huey Lewis and The News), Michael Hampton (Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and member of Parliament-Funkadelic), Nicko McBrain (drummer for Iron Maiden), and others. Thomas Claxton has opened shows for well-known performers including: Mother’s Finest, Stephen Pearcy (lead vocalist for RATT), Mili Matijevic (lead vocalist for Steelheart), and Jasin Todd (member of Shinedown and Fuel).
Now, that's a rock and roll resume'! Having released two albums already, this talented vocalist is currently eyeing the release of his THIRD, which hits the market in January of 2018. You can get your hands on his newest album, "Age of Propaganda", by pre-ordering here! Listen to his single from the album, Maybe I'm Crazy, and you will hear what could soon be a recognized name in rock and roll. I highly suggest you buy this new album, as I am sure this will rocket his career and you can say, I told you so!
Aside from Thomas, “Age Of Propaganda” album features many world-class performers including: Paul Cooper (drums), Craig Johansen (guitar), Rodney Smith (bass), Mark Vaquer (drums), Michael Amico (bass), Tony Sarno (guitar), Phil Hilborne (guitar), Wayne Livingston (guitar), Mario Cipollina (bass), Michael Hampton ( ambient acoustic guitar), and Eric Frampton (keyboards).
Thomas currently performs solo, as part of the Acoustic-Rock Duo “Thomas & April” with award-winning vocalist / songwriter April Henry, and with his 5 piece band “Thomas Claxton and The Myth”.
If you get the opportunity to see him perform live, do it. He does not disappoint and puts everything he is into his performances. Here is a video of Thomas Claxton and April Henry, “Closer To Fine”:
He is endorsed by an impressive list of music brands:
- Lewitt Audio
- Klotz Cables
- Gator Cases
- Taylor Guitars
- 64 Audio
- Triad-Orbit Advanced Stands
- G7th The Capo Company
His tour sponsors are:
- Tate Law Group (Savannah, GA)
- Bass Central (Orlando, FL)
- The Antebellum of Savannah (novel by Greg Bonner)
Seeing Thomas Claxton perform, you will see a talent like no other. Buy tickets to see him perform live, buy his album, or check out any of the venues he regularly performs for around the country. Check out the website, “LIKE" and follow him on social media: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for the latest updates.
Please feel free to leave any questions or comments for Thomas and he will respond.

Netflix is now the world’s most popular TV and entertainment streaming service, and it’s not hard to see why. It doesn’t matter what you’re into, there’s going to be something in its expansive library that takes your fancy. The amazing thing about Netflix is the size of its enormous repository, and the fact that it is constantly growing, with new shows and documentaries added practically every day. Suffice to say, it’s better than regular TV.
Many people like the fact that Netflix offers flexibility. For years, the regular broadcasting TV networks have been telling us that we have to watch TV programs at certain times of day, whether that’s convenient for us or not. But now that’s all changed, thanks to the fact that with Netflix, you’re able to watch what you want when you want.
There are some problems, however, with Netflix that might be getting in the way of your enjoyment. Here’s why you’re not getting the most out of your Netflix account and what to do about it.
You’re Not Using Sleep Features
We all know that the main reason people buy Netflix is because, after a hard week at work, all they want to do is flop in front of the TV and watch episodes of their favorite drama back to back. Usually, they fall asleep in the process, but Netflix carries on regardless meaning lots of annoying rewinding when they finally come round.
But according to Digital Spy, there are now Netflix-integrated socks which detect whether or not the wearer has fallen asleep. The socks work by detecting movement. If the wearer is moving in a way that is consistent with being asleep (like not moving much at all), the socks send a signal to the TV and on comes a warning light. If the user doesn’t respond, then the stream is paused and the user can pick up where they left off when they wake up.
You’re Not Updating Your VPN
According to Secure Thoughts, Netflix has been cracking down on people using VPNs to access their services. But, as the site points out, there are ways to continue using the service, even if you’re accessing it from a virtual private network. All it requires is a little research on your part, and you’ll soon be watching your favorite series once more.
You’re Not Randomising Content
Netflix, like Youtube, has a lot of choice. There are literally thousands of dramas, movies, and documentaries to choose from. Sometimes, it can all get a little bit overwhelming, and many people just stick to the content they know.
But to really enjoy Netflix, you’ve got to break out of your viewing rut and try watching something new - and different. The great thing about Netflix is that you never really know what hidden gems you’ll discover on the network since it has so much to offer. The AllFix Google Chrome extension adds a randomize button to your browser, allowing you to get more randomized content in your Netflix feed.
