We bring you the Voices In My Head – Just blogging about Spaceports, Iran Trip, Blog Stuff, ICOs and Gun Control, Tax Season Etc. All for free for you, lets fight dangerous bullshit together!
TBB Blog Mission: To Entertain. Educate. Inspire. In That Order!
Support TBB by applying for CREDIT CARDS, shopping with our AMAZON AFFILIATE LINK & clicking our REFERRAL LINKS
It is Thursday. I am not restarting to post every weekday. But sometimes I just feel the need to blog it out. Anyways, in no order whatsoever, some blog housekeeping things, some thoughts in my mind, some questions for you and whatever is in my head I guess…
So, the Citi ThankYou Premier card offer for 50,000 ThankYou points has been out for a few days. Do you know when I knew the affiliate link for it came out? When I saw these guys post about it almost at the same time yesterday! It never fails. Yes, it is available with my links now too. Thank you for your support!
A few changes in the TBB Blogs I Like: I have deleted Loyalty Lobby. The reason is one too many clickbait shocking Kardashian type news posts. I despise such crap! It is only designed to…draw clicks—->money! I added back to the list the car rental site Autoslash. Because…I should not have been so quick to take it off when they made some changes recently, my bad.
If you have any suggestions for blogs/sites that deserve to be on my list I am all ears. Feel free to make your arguments. TBB Management has the final say at all times. I would like to remind you that this blog is proud of its Independence. Which means freedom of being beholden to…compromising shit!
There is some mega shit out there. Its name: ICOs, as in Initial Coin Offerings. FINALLY, the SEC is going after them. Hooray!
I am the world’s slowest trip report writer. I am still stuck on Day One of my trip to Iran. One of these days I will finish Day Two. Maybe one day before 2020 I will finish the darn thing!
Son is having fun in Europe. Seeing Kendrick Lamar in Paris last weekend, Barcelona this coming weekend. Hopefully he can do a trip report or two here but don’t bet on it. I sure don’t.
This would not be a TBB post without some laughs. The Cost Of Gun Control: This Australian Man Has No Way To Kill Everyone At The Restaurant He Got Fired From. Pretty sad I say.
I found this on Twitter and have been saving it, I think it is great!
My tax season is going really well, more than half way through #winning. Most clients will not be itemizing next year which will make the tax preparation even easier/faster.
Getting some work done around the house finally after ten years. New windows upstairs. New gutters. New vacuum (went for a Sebo bought at a local store). We will build a deck in time (I hope) for this summer. I hope it is ready for the FlyerTalk Ann Arbor Art Fair DO in July. I can assure you this is not all happening from my blog’s revenue woohoo! More like redirecting savings that used to go to college funding goals as both kids are now all set.
I can’t wait for the World Cup in Russia. It will be SO weird not having USA in it. And Greece too, sad!
I think my son will start a business this month and go for the Amex Starwood Business card 🙂 It may be time for Mrs. TBB to go back and get a CSP and keep it. Nothing really excites me anymore these days in the churning hobby. I will go for the Amex Hilton Aspire card when it becomes available with affiliate links so I can pay myself lol…as I plan not to renew my CSR card. Remember the good old days we used to do apporamas and do multiple cards at a time? #goodolddays Thanks bloggers 😉
This blog is my baby. I love you guys. It is an honor anyone reads me! I am grateful for everything. Really!
I have this $150 Visa gift card I should give away to one of you. But I want to make it fun at the same time too. And not make you run a whole bunch of screens or make it a popularity contest. One day I need to sit down and just do it!
When you retire you should still do something useful to society. You know, give back or whatever. One thing you should probably not do is make endless comments trolling a blog you do not like like this guy has been doing in my blog since Day One. What a weird obsession with me. And how sad!
Okay, I distracted myself on Twitter and lost all trains of thought I had 🙂
As I started the Monday/Wednesday/Friday blog roundup posts it is understandable that posts get pretty long. Do you think they are too long? Should I get back on the weekday daily posting and make them smaller? But that would not make them as epic 🙂 You know, it would be like phoning it in. And I am not the type of guy who phones in anything! So…I am torn.
Help blogs you want to keep them posting. Whoever quits is due to health reasons, family changes, etc. But on top of those always is the…lack of support! Every single time! We could all be doing different things with our time on our hands. You noticed much whining here lately? Nope. It is because I don’t have to. So keep it up! Together we can fight dangerous bullshit!
Okay, here is as pic from Iran. One day the trip report will appear here…someday
Okay, I need to hit the bed. Here is a link you will find very interesting, I sure did. Did you know there was a spaceport in Alaska? In Kodiak Island. You never heard of it? Me too! This is a beautiful short film about it. And this is how you learn things!

And I leave you with this…

Raffles says
Was there an ad for an adult establishment on the back of that flyer?!
ABC says
Are there still telephone booths filled with “business (tard) cards” in the Soho area?
I can only imagine that the arrival of the mobile phone dramatically changed the playing field and eventually helped clean up the area.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
I should have turned it around!
Raffles says
The cards have gone, because the tinterweb now makes life a lot easier in London, see for eg houseofdivine.com (this is the LEAST ‘SAFE FOR WORK’ LINK YOU WILL CLICK! Private browsing mode ONLY ….)
Ryan says
Silver!
I don’t think the MWF posts are too long.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Ok, got it, thanks.
Dml says
Thursday!
TravelBloggerBuzz says
A rare one.

TravelBloggerBuzz says
Got them now in my links too!
Carl says
Whatever posts you do, I appreciate them George. Always the best of all the travel/points emails I get. Do what you feel is right about frequency and they are NEVER too long!
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Got it, thanks for the feedback.
And for the kind words too!
Kevin says
I much prefer:
“Why not treat yourself to a happy ending instead of paying someone else to do it?”

Do you happen to live in a basement?

To all:
I slept in today for the first time after a long long time.
6.52 am
Which has pushed everything back.
Nice to sleep in, I had forgotten what it feels like.
I am getting to everything. I have plenty of stuff for tomorrow, I just need to find time to do it.
Darn gutters, not happening today #rain
Ryan says
Damn how early are you normally up? And when do you go to bed?
I’m definitely not a morning person!
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Usually up at 4.30 am. Sometimes I sleep in until 5 am. Today was VERY unusual and has thrown me for a loop…many loops actually!
To bed by 11 pm. Try to be near my bed around 10 pm or so…
bluecat says
You forgot today’s music link. I will oblige.
This one’s for you, jammin Buzz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr3OKxh-S9M
TravelBloggerBuzz says
You know, I was going to do one, but could not decide so then I forgot about it.
TBBTheDude says
TPG just learned about the US Bank mobile rewards LOL.
Trying to stop the spread of dangerous bullshit
https://twitter.com/FlyerTalkerinA2/status/969236408195080193
he is dying to post it hehe.
That Danny guy just cuts and paste the same deal in his own site and Miles to Memories #wow
Ryan says
All that staff yet TPG is always so slow to pick up on news.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
The only exclusive that guy had ever was…the CSR card and that horrible BofA card. All the rest is a bunch of staff waiting around to copy others, along with breaking weather updates lol.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Going to get that Amex Starwood Business card for 35k spg points, PERFECT TIMING!
Having the personal only at 25k is just weird.
Thanks for the support guys. No reason for me to pump secured cards! Think of Ingy’s face at every TBB conversion #thedream #priceless #soldFirstLol
Joey says
What “business” is your son opening… I’ve been debating the implications and most optimal business to start but struggling….
TravelBloggerBuzz says
“Consulting”
Joey says
That is an interesting choice. Definitely low overhead limited downside…. only thing is, I would need to show that itis generating “income” to be classified as business not “hobby”…. but things for the tip 😉
P.s. I have the BoA Premium Rewards on my radar and will definitely come back for your link
