Blast From the Past

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

I was going through some old college photos and came across this fun pic. This was taken on April of 2008. It tells such a fun little story, that I figured I’d help my Bestie relive that wonderful day…. Tanya, don’t hate me! LOL

This is my Best Friend Tanya.
This was her 24th bday party.
We were in Austin.
We had drinks.
We danced.
We  had shots.
Tanya had ALOT of shots.
This is my roomie and I poking fun
Bouncer didn’t find it as funny.
Later came our friend ‘puke’.
And a whataburger cup to keep it in.
Taxi Driver didn’t like.
Bell-Hop at our hotel let us use cart.
We used cart to get bday girl to room.
Amused people stared in awe
Held her hair back.
Tucked in bed.

Awe Birthdays…… Don’t you just love them!

Social Networking

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

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.
