Wall Street Journal and the Youtube

So which would make your smile smile wider?

Being in the Wall Street Journal or being featured on Youtube?

Whats that?
Have i ever been in the Wall Street Journal, Oh yeah sure, they did an article once.
But, it was like a fart that im not sure anyone noticed.
OK, thats not to respectful.
Indeed i was flattered, and happy.
I answered some very short email questions for the lady doing the article.
Waited a little while.
Tried to conjure up in my head the image of a man at a breakfast table reading about the enigma - that is me. Perhaps watching a couple videos on the blog.
(im a tuck driver - i talk about driving over here)
And then one day i read the article and that was that.
Couple hundred more hits on the Hit-O-Meter.

Here is the article.
see "Truck Driver Blog"

THANK YOU SAMBA GIRL for sending me this picture of the article!
Wall Street Journal big grin. Big big grin.

Tonight i was on the youtube watching rc videos and i see my face on the youtube page. On the right. I smiled. and smiled... And then farted.

Here be the screen capture
see [top right picture]

If you are viewing this within the next day or so they put me on this page also.
The video they featured had almost NO editing. No effects no obscure comedy references or cartoons. It was just me talking into the camera about truck safety and i did it in one take. The video was in response to another trucker (Steve) on youtube who i kinda know - (not in real life) and i got inspired to talk into a camera. Something i have a hard time doing because i HATE speaking to inanimate objects.
Ill have a teeth shattering smile if they put me on the front page. Till then.

Here was the featured video.

March Fourth Marching Band

click picture for video

Thats the March Fourth Marching Band.
filmed at the Vancouver Peace and Justice Fair.
Vancouver Washington
September 2007

this was made with one person, two cameras. The zomming in and out and to and fro with the stationary camera was done after the shoot. With software. On a computer. Woulda had more of the hand held stuff but i was paranoid something might happen to the still camera. So i would shoot and then go back and stand near the tripod whenever it seemed like the right thing to do.
One man operation.
Cause im a loner, a rebel..

They are on tour right now. And they want you to go see them.
So go see em., you might like em.

Airstream

Phil Hendrie is back!

i just found this out.
Phil Hendrie is back on the air.
http://www.newphilhendrieshow.com/radiostations.html

From what ive read he is going to be beating the political hammer on the table.
More-so than before.
And doing voices.

Im actually listening to it now and he just finished a political rant - with an abundance of sound effects - and other odd audio clips - on top of the audio from a youtube video.
While wearing clown shoes and eating a stick of butter.

Now he is doing a telephone character voice. [Larry Grover talking about Hillary Clinton]
His phone sounds different.
Im glad he is back. Now we need Art Bell to come back out of retirement for the 6th time and then for Phil to go back off then air.. and on and on. Whats with these talk show guys hating their jobs so much but constantly returning to them?
Now he is back to ranting. Ughhh, tough to listen to.
So anyway, hes back.
And he no, he wasn't wearing clown shoes and eating butter. that i know of.
