So, you have likely been a follower for over month at this point, likely even longer. I thank you for your loyalty in following what I have to post on Facebook. I want to share with you what I do beyond just posting fun links, thoughts and ideas regarding Minneapolis.
My favorite thing to do on facebook is create brand presence and connect facebook users with businesses. I strongly believe that with the trending of business that Facebook creates a forum to which a brand is alive and held accountable for its sourcing, endeavors and mishaps. I also think that the same should be to the advantage of the brand when taking aggressive, innovative and advantageous steps to generating buzz and sales for itself.
I have assisted in the start of many pages for businesses such as CRAVE and Darby O'Ragen's. Also I work with rising artists nationwide: Nial Hay (Minneapolis), Tyler Barham (Montana), Kate Logan (Nashville). Because I founded the Lake Calhoun Boys, I manage that page as well. The sister page to this one, "I Love Minneapolis" is also on the roster. In addition to these that I name publicly, I manage a few pages as a private contractor. It is a passion of mine to work behind the scenes, as social media is a powerful tool. I will post links to these pages at the end of this. By far my favorite of 2010 is getting artists involved with live web concerts on Livestream.com. If you are not familiar with Livestream, it is an amazing website that allows companies and those alike to have a web channel that can run 24/7 linear video, broadcast shows live, and have a video library like Youtube.
If you have a desire to learn more about social media be it within Facebook or another site, please let me know. And if your business needs help starting up a page or maintaining the page I would love to assist with that as well. I believe it is to the disadvantage of every business to not be on the social media network. Regardless of your participation as a business, your name and buzz is still there it is just up to you take credit and have a place for all the buzz to hover around.
Enjoy your facetime, I surely do!

Minneapolis Please Remember
Fatty, Fag, Dyke, Pig, Lezbo, Queen, Whore....
There are so many words that tormented us while growing up, and these words and some are all the more prevalent in our society today. Just as we used the word retarded youth now use the word gay out of context. At least when we were in school the torment often ended when the bell rang at the end of the day. Today, the bullying extends into the social media and other technology. It must end, it must get better, and it WILL get better.
Today is a National Day of Remembrance for those who have lost the fight to live on in life due to such torment and bullying. May their memories be blessed with the good in their life and who they wanted to be. It is day to think about out actions, past and present. To strive to make a difference as we grow forward as a human, as a community and as a country. Our community is in the headlines for this issue with 7 teen suicides in the Anoka area alone in the past year. This epidemic is as awful here as it is anywhere.
Until the day that schools are made to enforce policy against ALL bullying we must stand and voice our concern and interest in this area. No child should have to endure hate and bullying. To those of you who say it is part of life, I am here to tell you that it is not. If you were a bully, looking back what has it done for you?
I can tell you first hand that being the victim of bullying lives with you for life. I have a strong mindset that led me past it all, and I did everything possible to get out of high school. I went to a charter school to start fresh. I was bullied there. I wanted to die. I considered suicide but the more I researched the larger the concern grew about failing at it than anything. So, I went to a new school and stayed under the radar, not great grades as that got me harassment before, but well enough to get by. At the first chance for PSEO in my junior year I took it. I wanted away from the peer pressure and the hatred in my school. I was stuck between part time high school and college so the only way to survive the hatred in those four walls was to join it. I said some awful things to people no different than I. I apologize to the few of you who I said those things about.
Please practice and preach in your own lives to stop bullying and hate on those unlike yourself. All persons should have the right to express their love and personality in a respectable manner. Set religion aside, because NO ONE shall judge another being, there is one Judge in all religion. If your beliefs do not support what another person is doing, they have two powers to answer to, the law and God.
We are so close to human equality. Keep on going as we all know It Gets Better. Choose which side of history you want to be on, it is changing regardless, but it is in your power to change it Today.

New Agenda
Sorry its been a couple months of bitter silence, HOWEVER, back and running post-holidays and such. I was talking to some followers of the fan page and decided that I need to structure the blog and updates to reflect more of what will be helpful and fun for you all. I am not going to post a schedule, however I have a list of topics and things to search in order to give you some insight into what is going on around town, resources to use, discounts to be had, and so much more.
I need you to do the same, let me know when something is happening, post it on the wall, send an email to minneapolisadam@gmail.com etc. My goal is to make information easy for you and to better the city that I love by getting the word out regarding current events and happenings that may interest you.
