#1He can help you quit smoking.
This took creativity, a decent sense of humor, and some serious “Smoking Skills.” I am actually surprised Truth.com didn’t want in on this. It’s that good. Check it out!
#4He helps the homeless by giving them a job.
Want tons of easy and cheap marketing, while at the same time helping out all the holeless? Try out Michael’s idea for putting people to good use…
Now…after all those videos, you’re *probably* thinking…
It’s true. He might be the most interesting man in the world (or some sort of twitter-happy runner-up).
But what you really have to ask yourself…(after watching this video)
And finally…#5 …how do you think you’re going to sound in his next remix?
…Follow him. Fly like the wind people! Follow him!
Somehow I managed to watch some noteworthy movies though.
Movies: Salt was pretty decent. Watch it. I like the whole “new spy” open-ended thing going on there. It didn’t have the class synonymous with Bond…but it wasn’t short on action. Centurion was pretty cool. Not worth the DVD though, if it’s still On Demand for you…do it. The Expendables was a blast to watch, mainly because of all the cameo’s. All the best action hero’s were there and in top form. Definitely a guy film, the plot was cool, but seeing all those different A-List action people in there was just fun. The only guy missing was John Travolta…they should’ve made him a bad guy.
The summer finale of Burn Notice happened. I still haven’t made time to watch it (probably tonight)
Now I have to wait like a week or two for the other cable shows to kick back in…Sons of Anarchy baby!
Hope everyone had a great week. Loads of No More Stupid is coming!
But entertaining website aside, the plans are made, the progress is progress, albeit not as fast as I’d like. I am doing multiple things at once in hopes of really living life on my terms. Today was just a few steps in a very long journey I hope to share here.
I think I may have picked up a new idea for a recipe completely on accident by visiting another blogger’s site (Fugitivus – Runaway Slave) for a good read and finding her thoughts on a salmon dish. Hers sounds awesome already and I cant wait to try it out and maybe Tonify it a little.
The cool part…anything I end up putting together on my menu…is also going to get published here under the tag “Tony’s Kitchen”.
Aside from my sudden proclitivites in sharing my newfound optomism, nothing else is going on here in TonyTown.
I just read an article about how Ford and some other motor company were joining forces in revitalizing some factory…in Thailand.
The article itself isn’t the focus, but the chain of thought it inspired is.
Why on earth is our government allowing foreign business to leech money out of our country? Is Ford no longer American based?
(I honestly don’t know…I am asking)
In our desire for anything that makes us different, I feel like we have sort of sacrificed some of this country’s financial foundation by allowing foreign business and industry to prosper more than our own. That is beyond free trade…it’s actually harmful to the US business model. We are our biggest consumer, right? Bueller?
I mean, the same argument can be dished out for a number of different industries, but it comes down to people trying to maximize income by any means necessary rather than have a few standards regarding WHO ultimately gets sacrificed for these profits?
I know I am being vague…it’s on purpose. It’s honestly getting late and I haven’t researched enough to lay out and prove my point…doesn’t make it any less true. Just less acceptable.
But then again, I suppose that’s how we like bad news eh?
By the way, totally unrelated. My roommate’s young son, after getting tucked in, made his dad come over and give me a hug goodnight because he forgot. I know…unrelated.
But I started off griping about foreign cars and now you’re warm and fuzzy anyways right?
…so my job here is done.
Goodnight World…this is me hugging you all goodnight!
Sometimes I’ll notice that the brighter I see things, the darker others tend to see the same view. At the same time I’ll kick back and smile and say to myself, “Self, not too shabby at all.”
…the great part is that I mean it.
My rants here may leave the impression that I am one sour angry punk. If you feel better with that impression, I implore you to read no further, because I can live with it, and if it allows you to make sense of the world…well…my work is done.
But if you’re the least bit curious…30+ years of telling myself I’m screwing things up has finally led me to understand that I wasn’t always screwing things up. A few very key changes in my life, combined with more than a few key blunders, led me here to a spot that is warm n fuzzy when I need it to be. Those things missing aren’t regrets. They are goals & ambitions, some of which I’ve had planned since I was 8.
See there wasnt just The List, there was also The List. Which is to say that there is a list of things I promised myself I would do in my lifetime. Believe it or not…I’ve already knocked out most of them. Those that are left are the projects that leave a mark and leave you grinning like an idiot all the down that nasty fall into the abyss.
You see I am already there, so now all that’s left is alot of the generic stuff (like swim with dolphins, do my jig on the great wall, meditate at the top of the great pyramid). Dont get me wrong there are a couple other things that are way higher in priority, but still…I am already happy.
But my friend Michael Krivicka did (aka the bald guy from WhoIsTheBaldGuy.com)….and he did it in a truly amazing manner. Not only does Michael get a resounding congrats on his engagement, but he also get’s one for this truly awesome proposal. This proposal is also what will be used for the first episode of a new WEtv show called “Put a Ring On It”.
And finally…a HUGE hats off to Michael…since he is also the director of this new pilot.
Awesome job Michael, and like I said, I am totally calling you the next I want to pop the question.
Umm…not popping the question on YOU…to be clear…because you totally raised the bar for all your friends
“Dude!” (I walked into the room…all grins…I am smiling..big)
Someone with something far more important on their mind answers, “What now man?”
“The Pot” (I already know where this is headed, but continue grinning blissfully)
“WTF are you talking about the Pot?!” Apparently someone just isn’t in the mood for dialog.
“The pot sees man…” (Obviously portraying someone blissfully unaware that the person they are speaking to is not…so…complacent.)
“You are SUCH a dufus, the pot see’s what!? Yaknow what, I don’t even want to know…god you’re a pain to talk to sometimes.” (Start walking out of the room)
“The pot sees the kettle walking out of the room asshole. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.”
So I got up like insanely early on a Saturday solely to clean up some of the drafts I had started on the blog.
And I can across one that before opening I had assumed was an adequately interesting start of what I would normally consider a rant.
The problem is that, well…apparently I had writer’s block. Let’s see if you can tell why…
Ya. That about sums that up. I am sure I had a very good reason for titling the post that way…but I’ve apparently slept a whole frickin lot since then…
