Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Game Giveaway

Hey there.  KIRBY!!!  The lovable pink hero is celebrating his 20 anniversary this year!  And to celebrate, Nintendo has collected 6 classic Kirby games into one great collection.  Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition includes Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards!  In addition to the games, you already get a CD soundtrack filled with music from the games.  AND... the best part, in my opinion, is the collector's book that chronicles the history of Kirby!  I'm a sucker for collector's items and whenever I can score something like the Kirby that they are offering with this collection, I tend to jump on it.

2 Hello Kitty Watches and a Heart Necklace for $10

Hey there.  I don't post many deals but when I do, it's a deal that I took advantage of.  I have yet to meet a little girl (or young woman) that does NOT love Hello Kitty.  I am constantly buying my girls and my wife Hello Kitty stuff.  lol  And because Hello Kitty jewelry can be pricey, when I see a deal on Hello Kitty stuff, I jump on it!  That's when I stumbled across this great deal on Hello Kitty watches.  2 Hello Kitty watches and a heart necklace for under $10!  The retail price is $49.99.  You can't go wrong with that, my friends!  The deal is on Amazon so I suggest you jump on it now.  Prices on Amazon jump daily so the price can easily jump back up.  Check it out!!!  Later!

The PunchTab Loyalty Program and an Easy $5

Hey there.  Nothing anything different on my site?  No?  Oh man...  Look again?  Yeah, it's that toolbar thing at the bottom of the page.  That thing is powered by PunchTab and I've decided that it's time reward my readers and visitors by offering you guys a loyalty program.  You know, as a thanks for stopping by, commenting, sharing and what not.  The PunchTab loyalty program provides you guys points and tracks them for me.  You guys score 100 points for visiting each day, 100 points for commenting, 100 for sending out a tweet, 100 for liking a post, and another 100 for giving posts a Google +1.  With just a few actions a day, you can easily rack up points.  You can redeem those points for awesome stuff such as a Starbucks giftcard of a Groupon giftcard.  Pretty nifty, no?  But I'll sweeten the pot because, well... I'm just that kinda guy.  I was planning on starting this program next month but we'll go ahead and start it right away.  The top point scorer for the month will be awarded $5 via PayPal or a $5 Amazon giftcard.  Cold, hard cash as a thank you, my friends.

So how do you enter?  This giveaway and all future giveaways here on Metallman's Reverie will now be powered by PunchTab.  Rafflecopter was great but it was too high maintenance.  Too many bogus entries and I spent a lot of time removing bad entries.  The great thing about using PunchTab?   Aside from them verifying entries for me, if you share the contest, the more entries YOU earn.  That's right!  Sharing on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else will benefit you and earn you extra entries each time someone clicks on your unique url code!  How awesome is that!!!  So share away, friends.  The more entries you score, the more chances that the giveaway gods will pick you!  Good luck!

The Day I Became a Flute Player

Hey there.  This weekend, while I was relaxing at home, I decided to play some music.  Not on the iPod or radio, but play a musical instrument.  Most of you already know that I play guitar.  I have both an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar.  Both are pretty special to me.  The acoustic was given to me by wife (girlfriend at the time she gave it to me) and my electric is a Kirk Hammet "Skully" (KH-602) guitar.  But I'm not here to talk about guitar, I'm here to talk about my flute playing.  That's right, I play flute.  From time to time, I managed to eek out some time to play.  Last weekend was one of those times.  I grabbed the book that I would practice out of in JR. high and high school and test out my skills.  No doubt that they've diminshed some, but after 18 years of first picking up the instrument, they have yet to completely erode.
