Taking My Unique Brand Of Stupid Elsewhere

Well friends, I'm branching out from this blog.

In my continuing effort to avoid giving up the things I waste time on, I'm trying to make the wasted time more productive.  As such, I volunteered to participate in a weekly podcast covering (mainly) the Tennessee Titans.  It's being run by TitansReport.com, but I've got the direct link below.

We're calling the podcast Two Tone Crew, in honor of the uniforms that the Titans wear.  I like to think that we're the podcast equivalent of combining the musical talents of 2 Live Crew and the Deftones.

I'm one of the three main hosts and we recorded the first episode Thursday night (on less than half a day's notice).  One thing to note is that this is a learning process.  Myself and the other hosts had never spoken to one another before sitting down to record, and we were spread across three states.  Because of that, we recorded over Skype.  This left room for the audio to T-Pain itself once in awhile, but otherwise I think it sounds pretty good.

I listened to the first podcast twice Friday night, as we were trying to decide whether or not we were satisfied with the editing, before it was posted (sometime around 1:46 am).

You are more than welcome to listen to it, just click the link below.  I'm not going to promise that you will enjoy it, especially if you aren't a Titans fan, but if you do give it a listen - I would truly be interested in your feedback as we work to improve this ever-advancing podcast.

Book Writing And Devotionals

I've been writing again.

There exist two books which have been merrily swimming about in my brain juices for more than a few years.  One is a children's book, the other a science-fiction fantasy book.

The first book never goes the direction I feel it should, though I still think it works as a concept and have pieced together a story of sorts.  I downloaded a 'Publishing Children's Books: For Dummies' book on my iPhone, but got distracted by writing the sci-fi fantasy book before I could get too far into learning the next steps.  The sci-fi fantasy book, I think, is finally mapped out in enough detail and realism that it will work if I can just bring myself to put the detail to the pages.  My plan is to just publish it in electronic form, maybe as a free kindle book.  Hopefully the catharsis merits the effort.

**If I die before accomplishing anything of note, search my computer and journals.  There's enough material there for someone to be a starving artist.

As someone who plays too much Fantasy Football and mindlessly watches/consumes the NFL in copious portions, I have decided to try and make this time less of a complete waste.  I've contacted at least one person about starting a Sunday Football devotional.  Since I'm a misplaced Titan's fan living in the frozen tundra, I've succumbed to peer pressure and will name it "Prayers then Packers."

The concept is easy - praise God, then waste a few hours of the life He gave you.

Anyone interested, shoot me an email.  I don't know how large we'll grow this, as it isn't likely to be hosted at my (cable tv free) house, but we'll see what happens - and inter-faith devotionals are always the best.  I figure, that way we increase the odds that one of us is praying in the right direction.
