CyberProps

Curiosity kills the cat. A phrase I have always found unfortunate. I believe that curiosity kills nothing, but instead brings to life a whole new side of ourselves.

I am 6 years old, instead of focusing on my addition and subtraction I have been planning and plotting all day and now my moment has finally come. Dad comes home and I slyly walk up and muster up all the 6-year old, missing teeth, can’t pronounce my R’s adorableness possible and say “Daddy, I…

The reason tough decisions are tough is because they are proverbial forks in the road. They say that most people will make 5 major decisions that will define where they end up in life. For some, these decisions seem insignificant at the time, but later reveal their profound impact—Butterfly Effect type stuff. Tough decisions are…

We all have a specific duo that really strikes a chord in our hearts.  Below are some of the ‘Lunch Break Boys’ favorites and a little bit about why… Think back to your favorite duo and share with us. Prop Bless Karl Malone and John Stockton: one, a small, weird looking fellow that appears as…

In light of Thanksgiving, this blog is dedicated to something I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for a lot of things in life. Truly, I’m a blessed individual. I have amazing parents who supported me growing up, financially and emotionally, to chase my dreams. I have an amazing sister who’s my best friend. A lot of…

It’s my senior year of college: a time of stress, anxiety, and quarter-life crises. Or at least that’s what’s supposed to happen. Personally I feel quite at ease not knowing what will happen come May 14th. When I tell people I’m studying language in school, I get a lot of confusion or even negativity. “What are you gonna do with that? Be a Spanish teacher?”

Ireland’s history is recent, colorful, and tragic in so many ways. They’re fighting for their freedom, they’re fighting to become a viable, profitable country, and they’re fighting to remain relevant. To give you a little perspective, Ireland is approximately the size of the state of Indiana and is home to about 7 million people, 3 million of which reside in Dublin alone. But for a small country, they’re fighters, they’re humble and they’re happy, happy people (maybe it’s all the Guinness).

Before I get into the weeds, make one thing damn certain—I love the United States Army with my entire being, and this great nation above all. But, as they say, the military is like a bad habit—you know some day you should quit, but you never can quite get around to it.

Isn’t it crazy to know that the people we are currently spending most of our days with can just disappear from our lives in a flash. These people could move, get in an argument with us, could even pass away. I know I’ve experienced all of these situations time and time again. But with this blog, I’m not trying to write about the sadness of loosing a friend, I want to give those people that have come and gone, props for making such a positive impact on my life.

In this video blog, Tommy Crowe gives props to his favorite sport, wakeboarding.

Hello fellow prop tarts, I’m here to recognize one of Muncies most notorious ghost landmarks.  A long time before the big wigs of Wall St. came to Muncie and bought up the village and simultaneously modernized a perfectly good n functioning alcoholics resort, there was Dill Street Bar.  Better known to BSU alumni as “The…

Today you can walk into any restaurant and ask a group of people what they want to drink, and I would guarantee you one person will respond, “Coke.” Let’s just hope the waiter’s response isn’t “I’m sorry, we only serve Pepsi products here”.

I know it’s not normal to disconnect in America. In fact, corporate America discourages it. We answer emails at 10 at night or go into the office on a Saturday all to try and compete and win that American Dream. But what are we sacrificing on the way? Family, friends, free time, sense of self, personal purpose?

This app has been live for less than 24 hours, but already the community has been completely supportive and positive, exactly what the goal of CyberProps has been since day one. This is something you truly have to experience for yourselves, but only if you appreciate positive vibes and common respect towards one another.

With the official launch of CyberProps tomorrow, November 8th, the CyberProps team has written what our app means to each of us and how we hope it changes the world. Enjoy and please download and start spreading props with your friends!

CyberProps represents a shift in paradigms, a different way to look at the world. Social media is not going anywhere, and people are only going to be picking up there phones more and more. With accepting this social media culture and the gravitation of our generation and the ones following towards it, CyberProps was born, not to fight the state of social media, but to make it more meaningful. What I love about CyberProps is it begs interaction with people, places, and things. It’s not just sitting and reading about top ten reasons for this and that and having a feed full of click bait. It’s not cluttered with “selfies” or “like my picture for a shout”. It’s not a list of 2,400 friends that you barely know. But I am not here to say what CyberProps is not; I am here to proclaim what CyberProps is. CyberProps is social media app that really focus on the word social. I love that you have to interact with your friends or, followers, or as I like to call it humans, for a person to truly enjoy the app. CyberProps does not have “users”, we have Citizens, who are engaged in the culture of the app. I truly love the feeling of opening up the app; it gives a different feel than any other app. But what I love most of all about CyberProps is the interactions between citizens that will lead to the citizens learning more each other and truly becoming more social. So props to CyberProps, an app like no other, and if your reading this that means its live on the app store so go download!

Today I want to take the time and give props to a leader, our in my case my fearless leaders, Brian and KJ. A leader is defined as a person(s) who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. In my situations the two individuals I consider as my leaders fit that definition spot on and then some.

Growing up, I have always been surrounded by great leaders. I have had the privilege to know countless professional athletes, employees of Senators, and other highly respected individuals. But no one has impressed me more than the two individuals I give props to today. So, Brian and KJ, I give props to you two. I give props to you for turning a dream into a reality, for turning an idea into a corporation in ten short months, and in doing so leading a team of numerous personalities into a fluid, smooth running corporation.

Famous athletes have to sign hundreds of thousands of autographs during their career. Easily a thousand footballs, jerseys, and pictures of themselves every single year. You would think that for all these charity events, auctions and fans, it has to get tiring signing your John Hancock over and over again. I know I would hate being interrupted at dinner, constantly badgered for my photo or have someone emailing me continuously asking me for donations.
