Random thoughts…
Her first blog
What do I write for you today?
Her first blog
Let’s be honest here, ok. I have no idea what the hell I am supposed to be writing about. I have all of these great ideas about what I want to do with this blog, but I have this intense fear. I know…. kind of ridiculous.
When I was a kid I actually won an award for writing. Illinois Young Authors. I was in fifth grade and my book was called School School School . Yeah, it was a good title that spoke to the judges, teachers. After that I thought maybe I could be a writer. Then something happened.
I don’t really know how to explain it. I kind of became lost. I started doing things that I didn’t really want to be doing. Now it’s not drugs or alcohol but rather something more destructive. I lost my confidence.
I am the type of person that has interest in just about everything, but I am not really an expert in anything. I just kind of floated through life doing what came next. That is the Pisces in me.
College really sucked. I hated school and everything about it. I went to the wrong school and I stayed there because I am very stubborn. At times I wonder what my life would be like today if I went to that other school and majored in that other field. Then I see my kids and my wife and know that I am where I am supposed to be.
My confidence is back. I am living my life under my terms. Now not everyday is a great fantastic Oprah day, but I definitely have more awesome days than I used to. What is my secret? It is simple. I control my thoughts. I stay positive. I send out thoughts like “Someday I will be on Strange Love Live“
Your thoughts do impact your life. I see it everyday on the twitter stream. Some people tweet about all the bad stuff happening all around them. One day it’s this bad thing and the next day it’s another tragedy. Soon you see the tweets coming from them about how sick they are. Now let me be clear about this, no matter how much you stay positive sometimes shit happens. It is how you handle these challenges that determine how quickly you recover and move on.
So, here is something to help you stay positive during your day. If you are reading these words….. I think that you are super awesome.
Strange Love Live
Tonight I will be on Strange Love Live!
This is a really big deal for me and for Locket 2 You. Cami Kaos and Dr. Normal produce one of the best live streamed shows ever in the history of the internets. Seriously, if you have not watched any of their episodes, you are missing out.
The first part is the Tech edition. I will probably talk about Twitter, Facebook and Wordpress. I am not a hard core tech guy but I do enjoy learning about new applications and all the new stuff out there on the interwebs.
The second part of the show is called Afterhours! This is where I will do and say things that will either get me in trouble or make me Internet famous. It could go either way. Cami is making a new drink called the “Locket” and I am a light weight drunk. Get two drinks in me and I will be telling you stories that would make Kiala Kazebee blush.
The best thing about all of this is that I will be able to publicly thank all of you. Yes you. If you are reading this I want you to know that Miranda and I are so grateful to have you in our lives.
The show starts around 10 ish tonight.
Our little corner of the Internet
Yay!
We did it!
Okay, so it’s not like we just won the Noble Peace Prize or anything, but getting our own site up and running was one of our biggest goals of the year.
First, Miranda and I would like to say a very BIG and public thank you to Meagan for her help. Meagan has been so freak’n awesome in every way! #seriouslysherocks
Oh there it is…. I have now confused about half of the readers with the Twitter references.
I love Twitter…..FB not so much.
I will say this now, if you are not following @Locket2you on Twitter then you are missing out. Just check this video out, it will help explain…..
So, Miranda and I are excited to have a combination blog/e-commerce site. We want this site to be more than a place to buy our wares, but something that you look forward to viewing on a frequent basis. My head is spinning right now with ideas of what we can do to entertain you….. note to the office worker: we love you, we are here for you.
Well, I think I have gone on long enough here about how great we are. Oh yeah I almost forgot. Today’s blog post sponsored by The Whimsical Series Lockets.
