Yesterday I was mentally exhausted from work. I went home and decided to download some videos that I had recorded from this past weekend. Being a fairly new Mac convert, I have not had the opportunity to play with a lot of the features. Once I downloaded all of the video clips, I went ahead and launched iMovie. Now, I have seen my coworkers use this software application but I had never tried it due to my huge impatience for learning technology. Random to hear I know, especially for the fact that I work for a technology company and am completely consumed by the tech industry.

Anyways, it takes me about 30 minutes to put together a little compilation of my nephews birthday party and you know what?? I really enjoyed doing it! Also, I found that if I practiced a little more, that I may actually get pretty good at this editing thing. So this little video put me on a Social networking rampage. I posted it on YouTube, then tagged it on my Twitter and Facebook pages, and now I’m blogging about it. It made me realize, how people like the “YouTube Princess” (blog I posted earlier) get such crazy exposure soooo fast! So it got me thinking. Could I do the same??? Looks like the beginning of a n experiment for me =)

I changed my Twitter page background as well as my YouTube page to make it more appealing. Now if I can get the right content, I think I will be on my way. I am thinking about participating in the “One day in a Life” project that YouTube is launching tomorrow. I think it is a great place to start and then see where it goes. Stay tuned…

For anyone who doesn’t know about that project, it launches in 8 hours and is only for 1 day. Check out the link for more info

For now, I will just keep my little Family Made movie posted.

Children…. I love how they can turn story time into a fun entertaining experience. Man this kid has some lungs on her!!

Yesterday afternoon, I became the proud owner of my very own 36GB iPad. From the moment I received the email confirmation stating that it was shipped and waiting for me at the store– all my priorities went out the window. Who cares that I was supposed to pay bills, complete packing for my move out and possibly work out. All i cared for was getting that iPad in my possession. And once it was in my hands, I didn’t let it go for 5 hours after that.
I re-watched movies, synced photos, uploaded music from my iTunes and added a few Apps. After all is said and done I feel like I joined this new secret society of cool people. You know who I am talking about…. those people that have something you want from them, something you probably can’t handle because only the cool people have the pizazz to handle something so cool. Its a little far fetched but you get the point….

At this time I have a new obsession with the game ANGRY BIRDS…… omg! I freaking love this thing. Sorry if you don’t hear from me for many months. I will likely be playing with my new favorite toy =)

I am noticing that more and more of my posts are related to the funny pics and videos that my co-workers and I get intrigued by on a daily basis… so in light of continuing this on going theme, I give you the Male Cheerleader!

Now, I was a cheerleader in high-school and YES we did have a male cheerleader and he was great! But never have I ever seen this type of passion and school spirit LOL! I think this dude takes the cake!

Ok- let me start of by saying, that I love this girl!! She is a freaking riot… if she lived in Texas she would be my friend. If you are a guy.. have you ever taken a hot ass girl home one night then realized she was a total slosh when you woke up next to her???

Nowaday’s you see these total barbie girls that  are consumed by the Fake lashes (ahem, i can’t knock them cause I wear them too), the extensions (oops i wear those too), the fake tan, stuffed bra (sorry gang- mine are the kind that have a 10 year warranty), ultra high heels and glop of makeup to portray a type of perfection that does not exist.

I like this girl for putting it out there.. sorry boys, but Pam Anderson and all your female fantasies have to work at the hot part… with this being a standard, I guess we are all doomed to be ugly people.

So today I was helping my company shoot an internal video for Rackers to answer, what does Rackspace do? Things pinged me to go view old videos of the company…. and look what I found!! Check me out around 4:11

No its not the online banking feature or Google Maps or CNN. It’s not something that I could very much likely depend on at some point in my life. It’s more along the lines of this…. No matter how shitty my day is turning out to be, all I need is Talking Carl to turn my frown upside down!

This little App has had me and my coworkers laughing at the office for the last two days… and I am not even close to annoyed by it. We love it so much, that my team decided he is our new mascot =)

One of my colleagues is leaving on vacation for 2 weeks. Yay for her! and YAY for us! Because it gives us the opportunity to start planning our next office prank. I am looking for original suggestions…. the balloon pile up, saran wrap, aluminum foil, 1/2 full cups, confetti, jellos hardware have all been done.

Any ideas?
