My Secret Love Triangle

So it’s time for me to confess. As you know I’m a huge fan of 50 Cent and president of his fan club. The other day I sent Fiddy (that’s what his best friends call him) a framed photo of myself which I honestly thought would end up in his trash 12 seconds after he opened it. Unbeknownst to me he actually liked it and decided to proudly display it in his crib (that’s what hipsters call their homes). Well you know that Fiddy has secretly been swingin with Alicia as it’s been all over Friendster and Orkut. What you may not know is that…well…Just watch the video my boy recorded while Fiddy was on the phone with Alicia.

Guess my galavanting is no secret anymore…

Ok, hopefully you got a chuckle from this but I thought this was really cool. There have been many promotions that have allowed us to place our mugs within videos but I don’t believe any have provided the realism that you get from this new one generated by the folks at MySpace with Fan Video. Just simply visit the site, login with either your MySpace or Facebook credentials and you can choose from 8 videos that all have different effects to get your avatar on either service directly into the video. You can even string up to 6 videos together. I chose 2 to bring you my little story. Once the video has been created they offer an easy way to share on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, as a link to a page (which is better quality than the embed. Here’s mine) or as an email to your friends.

I found out about the service last night from newly announced Director of Content Socialization Sean Percival (Congrats to you my friend) and I would have posted this sooner but demand went through the roof and the service went down until earlier tonight after they deployed more servers or clouds or lumberjacks I’m not too sure how they did it so fast. In any case go check it out. I tried all 8 videos as it’s very addictive. MySpace no doubt has a hugely successful viral video campaign about to launch but get there before your friends. You don’t want to be Fiddy’s 2nd best friend :)

Kids Revisit Harry Potter Jelly Belly Tasting 5 Years Later

Five years ago I came across a box of Harry Potter Jelly Bellies. I was taken back by these as they didn’t contain your standard bellies. In fact they included some very unsavory sounding flavors including booger, earthworm, dirt, grass, ear wax, soap and vomit. The first thing that came to mind was whether I could get my kids to eat them.

So I took these home and decided to film my kids eating them. In retrospect with the possibility of social services knocking on my door, this may not have been the best idea. But after all was said and done, the laughing, the crying, I decided to finally post the video for all to see.

The kids and I watched this for the first time in years today and we really got a kick out of it. Then the lightbulb went off in my head wondering whether they still made these gems. So we went on the hunt and found a new version of them called Bean Boozled. I guess the Harry Potter license ran out. Nonetheless these are similar but with a new twist. They put in two identical colored bellies, one tastes good, the other blah! There were some newly added flavors including skunk spray, rotten egg, baby wipes, pencil shavings, toothpaste, and moldy cheese. So I turned on the camera 5 years later to capture the kids tasting these again and not surprisingly had very similar results.

Disclaimer: Kids, please dont try this at home :)

Bonus: I came across this rather amusing tasting review of the beans which I thought I’d share if you’re curiousity is still captured by these.

My Submissions to Failblog

I’m a big fan of the site Failblog.com which if you haven’t heard of it, go there right after reading this post. It’s brought to you by the LOLCAT folks over at icanhazcheezburger.com and bring with them humor on a much wider scale.

As I’ve enjoyed the site over the last few months I’ve kept a keen eye out for anything I could find that would make for a worthy submission. I have been lucky enough to not only find one, but two photos that I feel are worthy of gracing their site.

So I was channel surfing one night when I saw this entry in the program guide. Of all the people to get a gender wrong…Samuel L. Jackson? Apparently the programmer hadn’t seen Pulp Fiction.

I was leaving the parking lot of a fast food establishment when I feasted my eyes on the patio of the apartment in the photo below. I had to do a double take and then proceeded to take multiple photos knowing I had struck gold.

So I just made my way to the Failblog.com submission page and hope that my photos make the cut. We’ll see.

My Dog Chases a Cat. Epic Fail

I encourage my normally calm Chihuahua Cha Cha to chase a cat for a little exercise in my backyard and her attempt to hop the wall doesn’t go as planned. Thankfully even though she failed, she dusted herself off and pretended that nothing ever happened. She’s a trooper and I love her.

Building Mashup – Church City

This was a Circuit City that had been in the neighborhood and one day I saw that it had shutdown and had taken on a new tenant. I thought it was interesting how they had made the most of the existing building for their own purpose.
