Snowball from Blue Microphones

Joyce gave me a $100 gift card to the Apple Store for my birthday. I used it to buy a Snowball Microphone from Blue Microphones. I hooked it up today and this is my first attempt at recording music. I’m more of a guitar player than singer so you are just as much a part of this experiment  as I am.

Can’t believe I already have requests!

Joyce – Cooler than Me

Amy – Rainbow Connection

Alright, this is good, I get to learn more songs and practice the singing.

Thanks!

Also, I built a little website, http://www.taintkicker.com . It’s a site where I can rant about people in the news. Hopefully people find my rants amusing.

Today I thank: Joyce, Jack, Gina, LB, Amy


Laugh and the world laughs with you

posted by Chuckin Back in the day,Dear Diary,GratitudeNo Comments

ttractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. For me its all about laughter. If you can laugh out loud in public, I’m an instant fan. Laughing is about opening yourself and letting go. Allowing your feelings to burst out and forget about the stares from other patrons in the restaurant or library. Just live in that moment of bliss.

My second favorite quality is people who can walk up to the elephant in the room and pet it. Recently during a foody one-upmanship, the person I was talking to ended the contest with “but I can eat sugar”. Right On! Don’t be afraid to make fun of the diabetic. It lets me know that you understand me. I don’t take myself seriously neither should you.

All of the best laughs I’ve had came from the group of guys I worked with at MOLI.com. They picked me apart! From all the Mexican jokes, diabetes roulette, heart attack, nothing was sacred. I love those guys.

Just thinking of that crazy bunch puts a smile on my face.

Today I thank:

Anthony, WW the sugar eater, TJ, Jack, Keith

Interviewed for an article

Smile for the interview. Oh this is a phone interview?

I was interviewed for Media Business magazine with Jack to talk about eWeek Labs project.

I should be rich and famous now right? Should I hire an agent? Get a publicist? The interview lasted about 30 minutes, the journalist, Sean was a really nice guy. A very comfortable interview.
