Greenpeace, Shatner, and Me

My latest TV spot on Current which shows how cool I really am.

Have you ever had your name along with William Shatner's on TV?

Feels pretty nice, I mean really nice! . . . lol

Working on the Webternetz

I have a new job!

I've been the web editor at SBJ for 4 years, and a few weeks ago, a new opportunity just kind of came out of nowhere. I wasn't necessarily looking for a change, but I thought I'd try for it. A grueling interview process later... and I start next month as the Web Content Manager for CoxHealth! I'm a little intimidated to be working for such a huge company. I mean, Cox literally employs more people than the population of my hometown.

The position is strangely similar to my current job, even though media and health care are such different industries. I'll be responsible for coordinating and writing most of the content on Cox's Web site, and using online resources to market the company. "Content" can be anything from articles to video to photos to podcasts. All that fun stuff that I love! I'll also be involved in forming policies for the site, planning new features and promotions, helping to budget for Web expenses, etc. Cox also is wanting to jump into social media somehow, and we all know how much I like social media. I'm excited to figure out a method for that.

I'll be in the Marketing department. That's a major switch for me. This will mark my official departure from journalism. It makes me a little sad. Journalism is what I have a degree in, and there is an excitement that comes with being a journalist. But... I'm ready for a slower-paced, less stressful job. I won't miss having to meet daily deadlines or dropping everything when there's breaking news to cover!

I'm excited. (have I said that yet? ;) ) This job means a lot more opportunities, better pay, and a chance to grow. I don't know when my first day on the job will be yet. I'm thinking Aug. 17, but first I have to get out of jury duty!

Riley and I are going to go out this weekend to celebrate, and also to have one last "hurrah" before his summer vacation ends! Band camp is next week and he would like to have some fun before it starts. We're going to meet up at 7:00 Friday at Springfield Brewing Co. for some appetizers, drinks and socializing. After a while we might mosey somewhere else downtown, but I'm not sure where yet. We would LOVE it if any of you came!

S-Town Shindig

I call upon someone to organize some kind of "shindig do-things party" in Springfield sometime this week or next week. I'm feeling a pool party (if it gets warm), game night, downtown spreem or something of that nature. We can even do something at our place, too. I know we can also do something whenever Kelly visits, but I'm on my vacation finaly and I need some fun now. Also, I'm bored sitting around cleaning and music-ing all day (it's really just about my entertainment here). So, when is a good day S-towners?

Kelly brings you more TMBG covers

I don't like his voice, but the video is cool.

Harry Potday, muggle!

Just pretend this is the party we made for you!

Aliens on the Moon

There suppose to talk about this on the history channel on Monday.

Hey Hey Hey, Have a Happy Happy Day

Just a small news update, Mom (Nelly)and I (oddball to the left) are going to try and get out to Seattle some time next year. I don't think we can afford to go any time this year. If you (Kelly) and Mary have any days in mind, our are going to be unavailable at any particular time next year, our if there is a special event going on you might like us to see, let us know so we can try and find a week to go up there. About the only thing I want to try and do is look for Sasquatch, I don't care to much about the beach, our big trees, our water falls. I was thinking maybe some time in March, our late July early August. Of course I'll have to check the Jackets schedule, it comes out sometime this month, and clear it with the Patsy, the Goddess of vacations, and any of you Springfielders are more then welcome to join us. It looks like a flight out their from Columbus round trip is running $220 a person. Just FYI, it takes a while to plan these things.

Also I have finished my Gettysburg script. All I have to do now is wait for some costume stuff to arrive from Amazon.com, then I can film the rest. Since I couldn't get anybody else to be Man #2 I had to change the format a little. Instead of bad ghost hunters its going to be a documentary about a moderately insane old man presenting his case that aliens help the Union win the battle. Early reviews say "Skip it"

Crappy Barfstoolsday Pops!

Congrats! You made it around the sun another time and didn't die! You deserve cake!

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

This is way old, but I just now remembered to share it.



It's by Joss Whedon (He's the mastermind behind Firefly and the Buffy show). You'll also notice NPH (that's Neil Patrick Harris to they that lack enlightenment) and the guy who plays Mal.

Also, Crappy Barfday Joe!

Happy Birthday Sir Joe

I give you: Your fantasy girl, Sarah Palin. Now that she's unemployed maybe she can ride shotgun with you on your postal routes. I've heard she even likes hockey too! Well, when she's not shooting fish in a pond that is.

Wow, is that hair on her legs or what?

Alanis Morrisette makes fun of Black Eyed Peas "My Humps"

I'm not sure if any of you have had the displeasure of hearing Black Eyed Peas song "My Humps." If you haven't, the lyrics of the chorus are as follows:

"What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside that trunk?
I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
What you gon' do with all that ass?
All that ass inside them jeans?
I'm a make, make, make, make you scream
Make you scream, make you scream.
Cos of my hump (ha), my hump, my hump, my hump (what).
My hump, my hump, my hump (ha), my lovely lady lumps (Check it out)"

Apparently Alanis Morrisette (my hero!) made a remake of the song making fun of the lyrics and music video. It's kind of long, but you don't really have to watch the whole thing to enjoy it. Justice!

Happy Anniversary Pee Pee! (plus zombies)

This is the one where we send you boxes of spiders right? Cause that's what I did.

Well, here's a video of the new world record for people in zombie costumes (somewhere around 3,800 zombies) which happened in my neighborhood. At the end of the video, you can see a couple of dudes waiting for the zombies to shuffle out of the way so they can get some beer.


By the way, anyone else think Sarah Palin quit because she's going to get a talk show? Just a random guess on my part, but it makes sense.

Happy Fourth from - The "Show Me" State

Hip Hip Hurray, What a Wonderful Day

Our beloved Captain and scoring leader just signed a eight year $62.4 million dollar contract extension. He'll be a Jacket for at least another nine years. Nasher and Mason, the goalie, where just invited to team Canada's Olympics try outs. Not a bad day for the CBJ. Oh yea, Happy Fourth of July.
