I started by looking at the tag cloud on WordPress and found the “Me” tag. Let me share some of the more interesting blogs posts that had this tag.

Interesting FAQ instead of an About Me page.

Top 10 Marketing Blunders of 2008. This blog was had great links on it. So I started checking out more tags on the site.

Lets see here – Humor – Satan offing his services to bailout GM. Interesting.

Random – All she wants for Christmas is a laser toothbrush, what?

Now this I didn’t really understand, tagging your blog posts with the word blog – Blogs about: Blog

I wasted a lot of time on WordPress today. However I didn’t find any really good about me pages so I am still back at square one. If you happen to have some time that you want to waste, I recommend checking out some of the very strange tags that pop up on the WordPress.com network. Even more interesting was the creative names that bloggers are coming up with for the titles of their blogs.

I did see Laura from Lollie Shopping when we stopped for drinks to continue the party. It was very entertaining to see all of the people who are normally very quiet non-profit workers cutting loose and drinking Sake. Oh and like my twitter post from last night, I did see a guy chug half a bottle of soy sauce. Good Times.

Anyway we didn’t stay out very late and when we got home I started watching tv and woke up around 3 am realizing I didn’t post. So I hope it is ok that this post works as my Mulligan.

A Day in the Life of Spam

I got up this morning, much the same was as I always do, to the radio, but today instead of music I heard a commercial stating “Cash for seniors in this new option”. Wow, I thought, the economy must be really bad if people are now offering cash for seniors. I guess it is tough out there, all the career jobs are filled up and the standard response now is I saw your resume…please complete your application. Application? What happened to your resume should speak for itself, I haven’t filled out an application for a job since college. All I really want to do is create a way to Watch TV from around the world on your computer. Too bad that isn’t an option for a career. Maybe I will just Call Companies Direct and set up an Interview. I could do that all night long because I would be able to Type in the dark with: New illuminated Logitech Keyboard.

Suddenly I realized that if I did that I would never leave the house and everyone would be calling me saying, “Rid your Colon of weight and toxins”. Plus, the voice in my head was saying that, I would no longer enjoy my Second Chance to Enjoy Ebony Magazine purchased on your behalf.

I wish I knew all of the Hollywood Secrets to only working a few months out of the year or how to earn Cash from home? If you’re a senior homeowner Damn It! Another commercial telling me about seniors and cash. That is just wrong. Is anyone else Sick of the Recession Yet? Earn Thousands,Cash for seniors is a reality now I had to get out of the house, this seniors thing was out of control.

So I headed down to the coffee shop to see what the intellectuals were up to. I bought a cup of coffee at 7 Eleven and received a President Obama Gold Inaugural dollar as change. I was so happy because I knew how I could Make money on ebay and google with it. Why don’t they give these dollars as a scenario for seniors stops mortgage payments. That is a great idea,Barack Obama Inaugural Dollar. Uncle Sam could give you up to $25,000 open to see how. What a great Scenario for seniors stops mortgage payments. On top of that I started to wonder Why government auctions make sense for your budget.

This is crazy too, I have too much Hope for seniors and cash solution. I must have drunk too much coffee. I told myself that I should really be focused on how to Prevent foreclosure and protect your investment. Yet all I could think of was the quick cash I could get from building a home for seniors and cash solution.

I tried to forget about it, besides I didn’t know any seniors. If I had a cell phone at this point I would have started to Call companies direct and schedule job interviews. Instead I finally got to the coffee shop with my 7 Eleven coffee and was met by a woman who was super excited about how she got” LIFE:100 Events that shook our world-limited time offer and how she ordered her coffee with Acai Berry Supreme #1 Super Food.

I sat down in the corner of the shop to hide the fact that I bought 7 Eleven Coffee for a fraction of the price. My cheap coffee almost came out of my nose when I started laughing at another woman who was trying to Stay warm with the blanket with sleeves. Smart idea, she must have gotten one of those online graduate degrees from top colleges.

Just then a man sat down next to me because he noticed my cheap coffee. He said what if there were a lender designed for you? “Excuse me”, I said. The man responded, did you know you could get Cash for seniors turns for the good. I didn’t know what language this guy was speaking but once again I was reminded there is a good market for seniors.

The man introduced himself as Jack and he was in the business of Direct Lending looking for Commercial RE loans. However, business was slow for Jack and next he asked me “what about Gold Jewelry?Unwanted Jewelry?Get Cash Now”? Sorry I told him, I Don’t consolidate…completely eliminate your debt.However, I followed up by saying I was interested in cash for seniors turns for the good. But how would it work if I didn’t know any seniors? Jack gave some great advice,“Sign up for eharmony today for a free profile and find a window company now.”

I knew Jack knew what he was talking about, but to do these tasks I need to find a Sale on Select PC’s tonight only. The quicker I get started the quicker I could start making Cash for seniors turns for the good. While I was walking to the store that sole PC’s, I wondered why seniors we in such a demand, was it After warranty expired, engine broke?

My mind was spinning and telling me I needed to Enjoy Psychology today purchased on your behalf. The Government can help you get started today! Apply for a Federal Grant. That’s it, a Federal Grant. That way I could get a newsletter Update from Colorado Technical University. Everything was coming together, but was I only Looking to eliminate high cable bills?

Enough, I knew I needed to focus. I needed to look past the sign that read One-click access to schools awarding credit for military service. I have never been in the military, that ad didn’t apply to me.

What was I going to do? too many thoughts. 62, own a home? Stop paying mortgage now
entrepreneurs, Government Money is Available. AHHHH! I needed to Find out more how you could save and get out of debt. I have been told you must Find an online degree program that fits your goals!” If I could do that I could Find out how you could take control of your debt and how to get Cash for seniors turns for the good.

Cash for seniors, You will never find these deals at the dollar store. I finally got to the computer store and I had a great idea, Get 250 business cards, I could give them out to any seniors that I meet, then they could call me when they are ready to be sold for cash.

At the store there was a very attractive woman and she asked me, ”Would you like to Test and Keep a Hi Definition TV?” Wow, she must get paid a lot for what she does I thought. I bet with a job like that you could Discover how good it feels to wake up every morning knowing you won your car and you would have enough money to keep Looking for foreclosures. Could you imagine no Debt problems? You’ve got options with a job like hers.

Just then over the loud speakers in the store they said, “Congress gives seniors go ahead cash from house.” Holy cow, Congress is supplying the cash for seniors, this is my lucky day. I need to purchase my business cards and head over to the retirement home, there is a River of opt-in data.

I got to the retirement home and I caught up with the janitor who I knew from high school. The plan was why not Let your friends do the networking for you? After I bribed the janitor with some of the cash for all the seniors I ducked in to a room and saw a man with The world’s most comfortable jaw supporter he looked happy. However the janitor stopped me in my tracks and I said, Low on funds, you could get up to 1500USD and you can always find a Credit card matching search engine. He agreed and I was on my way again, dreaming of how to Enjoy Yachts International purchased on your behalf.

At this point I couldn’t believe that Congress gives seniors go ahead cash from house. This was a lot easier that coming up with a way to Call Companies and schedule interviews. I couldn’t wait to get earn all this cash, I remembered a sign I saw on the walk over, it said Cash in on Lenovo Employee Pricing til Monday. I had no idea what Lenovo was but if they had employees they were up on me. I hope Lenovo is the makers of that Incredible New Electric Pet Nail Trimmer. If I had one of those I could Get a career in public health

I walked out of the retirement home after getting lost and decided the best thing a high roller like my self could do is Treat yourself to a GPS Navigator. As I was walking around the corner I ran into a nurse for the retirement home and I couldn’t help but ask if she had heard Congress gives seniors go ahead cash from house and that with seniors After Warranty expired, engine broke

She responded by asking me if this was how I planned to Turn your debts into wealth and never worry about money again? Why don’t you Get matched with quality online schools and earn money? She told me that is what her family did. “We buy houses fast” she said.

She then asked me, “Who do you match with eharmony could help you know?” Actually I told her, I match with the girl at the computer store who asks “Would you like to test and keep a hi definition tv”. Good for you the nurse said, “now don’t forget that Congress gives seniors go ahead cash from house and go take that girl a Low carb oreo flavored shakes and atkins bars-on us.

Wow, I said, how do you have so much money, you are just a nurse. Oh she said, “I Get a government grant that comes from your tax dollars and study Benefit information for Military Members.

By this time had no idea what the nurse was talking about. The only thought I had was about the Incredible New Electric Pet Nail trimmer. Frustrated I tried to focus, Financial Success can be yours start today I thought. You could graduate online in 1.5 years and You could get matched with a trusted student load relief partner.

Enough of that nonsense today was the day to Get your piece of history today by selling seniors. This was my only way to Stop Living paycheck to Paycheck.

I think I just created Mad Libs for SPAM Subject Lines.

I got up this morning and worked around the house for a bit and then Diane and I headed out to do some shopping and grab lunch. Sounds simple enough for a Saturday. We went to Town Square here in Las Vegas and had lunch at The Yard House. (Awesome French dip sandwich!) Here is where it starts getting strange. While we are eating our lunch, the restaurant is mostly empty, but soon people just start filing in and we were surrounded. A couple sits down next to us and they both order a beer. The guy suddenly realizes that he doesn’t have his debit card to pay and freaks out. “When did you have it last?” the girl asks. “At the ATM last night, I must have left it, I am going to go see if it is still there, I’ll be right back.” And the guy leaves to go check an ATM machine. Really? does he think that no one else has used the ATM machine at Town Square since he was there the night before?

Okay, I let that one slide. Diane and I continued shopping and then later that afternoon we stopped in to a small wine bar call The Grape. Diane ordered her favorite glass of wine and I ordered a St. Peter’s Cream Stout. Just down from where we were sitting was a couple that had to be on their first date. Since the place was empty we could hear every word of their conversation. At one point in their conversation, the guy says to the woman, “Well you see, I make really bad decisions.” This was followed up shortly after by, “I have a very bad personality.” Now I am no match maker or love guru, however, I have a feeling that this guy is having a rough spell in his dating career.

At one point Diane and I were laughing out loud over the conversation that we could hear going on, and we came to the conclusion that sometime when people are really nervous their “inside” voice starts talking out loud. We headed out from The Grape and headed back close to home. We stopped in at Target for some more holiday shopping and picked up a rat to feed Sable, Diane’s python.

We decided to stop for a quick snack and to watch the Oklahoma game at a bar called Bilbo’s and this is were the sound bites were out of control. At the end of the bar was a cowboy from Texas who had been into the sauce for a few hours and was all smiles. The conversation turned to talk about how to make the hottest chicken wings. The bartender won with a hot wing sauce that consisted of pickled jalapeno pepper juice, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper, hot wing sauce, and almost every spice that they had in the kitchen. After he explained his creation the cowboy at the end of the bar pipes up and says, “Damn son, that will make you reach for an ice cream cone to wipe with in the morning.” I howled out loud with laughter.

Next it was half time of the game and Dr Pepper sponsors a contest where students can win a $100,000 scholarship. Once again the cowboy gets in the mix and says, “Look at that kid, he is like what has God done for me, Dr Pepper just game me a 100K.” God has nothing on great advertising.

Back at the house now watching the new Chris Rock stand up special. Talk about the great things people say, I highly recommend watching this.

Ok to be honest I just wanted Jason’s ADD to really kick in tonight. (you’re welcome Jason!) This is a photo of just some of the great toys that I have been going through the past two nights.

On to a new topic for day 2 of the 30 day blog challenge. Lets see what could I blog about? I know Twitter! No I am not a guru, I will leave that up to John, however I do want to mention that according to the people in the know, my Twitter Nerd Level went up today because I set up a new Twitter account for Black Diamond Digital. Not that setting up a Twitter account is difficult, but what I did notice today is how effective a really well designed background image for Twitter can be.

Today we were able to create a Twitter page that really reflected the new direction that Black Diamond Digital is going. We blended our logo, colors and the newest model that was just in the studio a few days ago. Check it out and let me know what you think.

To take it a step further I was able to tie the images together with an eblast of an upcoming event that we are hosting. Same model, completely different design element, but still kept the the attitude that we wanted for Black Diamond Digital. I uploaded the eblast here.

Next, I updated the Black Diamond Digital Blog with all of the same updates and links. I did all of this in the matter of only a few hours and was able to reach three different audiences, from C level executives to just my crazy friends that have no problem wearing a ridiculous beanie for any occation, to Twitter users who may never set foot in Las Vegas.

This is a perfect example of the new age of advertising, direct market reach with little to no cost.

Here is the plan, take the cast of The Real World, 90210, OC, (sh*t why do I know the names of these shows?) Anyway back to the task at hand, take these idiots that appear on these shows, tell them they are on a reunion show and fly them to your choice of desert island (survivor crowd will love that). On that island force each person to chose a drug that has been featured on MTV’s TrueLife. After they have chosen, force them to take said drug. Next, tell them they must get off the island, but the only way they can is by using products that MTV advertises. Final step, set up cameras and fly away.

Beer Pong is a virtual rendition of the popular college drinking game that requires players to toss Ping-Pong balls across a table and into a cup of beer (if your cup is hit, you drink). The game was designed for the popular Nintendo Wii platform, and its maker had planned to release it as the first game in its new Frat Party Games series. But concerned parents began sending angry letters to JV Games and Nintendo – Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal even got in on the action, sending his own missives to the companies – until JV Games agreed to change the title of the game to Pong Toss and fill its pixelated cups with water.

“We never anticipated such a severe reaction to the word ‘beer,’” says Jag Jaegar, co-owner of JV Games, which released Pong Toss on July 28 with a kid-friendly rating of “T” for teen.

The co-founder of JV Games needs to lose the “e” in his last name
