I am like a little kid and do not know how to act. My girlfriend from the 6th grade came up to NY for the holiday. We're catching up and making music together on Sunday and Monday. Hopefully my squinty-eyed look will have improved by then (LOL).  Chicka sings better than I draw so I hope to have my meds completed tomorrow so I can get my trippy a$$ back to work (LMAO). I do not want to miss my deadlines anymore than I already have. I missed a weeks worth. For an anal retentive person like me that is a disaster. Seriously so.

BTW, we're jacking this blog if you want to come out to play today for lunch:

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1347255/laugh-out-loud-friday-warning 

I needed a good laugh. May have to replace the phone I just replaced... (sigh) Is there a 12 step program for destructive 3 year olds? Inquiring minds really want to know (LOL). Oh well... time to get out of bed and start stuff... like read a couple hundred e-mails and return a few calls. :-)

How Far Would You Go For Charity? (LMAO)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gallery/2009/nov/18/nude-london-tech-calendar?picture=355758073

Our British counterparts have taken some of the biggest names in the technosphere and gotten them to go all in to raise much needed funding for charitable works. Hats off to the men and women willing to bare all to get their points across. I want a charity calendar simply because some of my friends are in there. How can I not support my friends?

You know how I feel about my bay-bays... (Especially when they are being particularly fun and cheeky - LMAO)

If you do not have a sense of humor or fancy yourself prudish DON'T YOU DARE CLICK THAT LINK (LOL). Ooops... um... you might have clicked it first, eh? Sorry. My bad (ROTFL).

Okay, lets take another route: Before you write something negative and stupid in the comments sections because you didn't take me seriously when I said don't you dare click that link, or clicked it before you read that statement (LMAO) be advised the entire blogosphere is raving about it in every social media circle I've been in this morning so don't even think about being a prick on my post.

Social media is about being social with everyone, not just trolling for business or trying to keep people in what you deem is your personal version of a socially respectable box of decorum and civility. The cultural divide will always ensure that what one group considers being kind, another considers an absolute offense.

I'm looking to have fun for lunch... I have an expectation... The blurbs under the photographs for the calendar shots are quite snarky and the most remarkable shot is the guy at the conference because he actually did this and its not photoshoped in (ROTFLMAO). For the few highbrows itching to send off e-mails queuing for a response, may I remind you that I've seen more in some of your Facebook vacation photos than is revealed in this calendar. My humor is quite unrepentant on this matter (LMAO).

My post is public because the reporting on this event is public. Did I mention in my previous post I may be surprising you? Yup... I think I did. SURPRISE! More surprises to come (LOL). Psssst... DigiJoe is my fave shot after D-Pop's of course. ;-)

Wordy C on Career Advice from Gary Roth and Other Random Thoughts...

When you finish reading this link, substitute your social media accounts and any other on-line gig you have that has value and start collecting your info to update your wills. I am trying to make a catalog and trying to get my contracts in order. I have to pass them on to the wee people. I've been remiss in my duties... Got art? Got crafts? Got collectibles? Got books you authored? Got blogs you wrote? You may have created a lot more intellectual property than you think...

Did you know that your heirs can turn your entire blog collection into a series of books? Why wait? You can start that project right now if you want to. Break your blog down by subject matter and self publish that puppy or send it off in the correct format to the publishers of your choice to see if they want to publish your work for you. :-)

I bet I could pick out a couple of rants that have all the makings of a treatment for a made for TV movie (LMAO). The best part? I am in NYC. I am surrounded by movie studios. I can hound them for you (ROTFLMAO). Better yet. I'll hound you. Go do your version of the Blair Witch project. Seriously!!! Get busy! :-)

BMI has a fantastic website. I am very happy that the Ambassadors of Chaos Recording Studio artists have joined. Now I have to get the publishing contracts in. I have three that I have to sign for our little independent label. I've been high-jacking talented friends who want to do something beside enjoy singing in church. God bless them. They have been keeping me busy with their wave files and I am going to have a lot of fun creating neat stuff to blog about. :-)

Hmm... about my missing in action... I have been writing and deleting posts for the last five days. My blogging schedule is completely destroyed because I can't make up my mind regarding what I want to talk about. There is just too much going on: Kid drowned my cellphone so I can't get through to a crap-load of people (oh, the joys and woes of speed dial - LOL). Elevator got stuck, started taking the stairs, slipped, fell, cracked my arm and head. Pssssst... have you ever been concussed? One eye gets a really big pupil while the other eye gets a really, really small one and you can't see. Light hurts like hell. Seriously...

How did I manage to miss that little step? Blame it on the Flu. Ever notice when you sneeze your eyes automatically close? I guess I didn't notice that little factoid until I busted my a$$ running down the stairs (ROTFL). Why am I cracking wise? Well...why not? (LMAO)

If you can't make fun of yourself with your friends who the Hell can you spoof with? ;-)

Time to get back to work... the tutorials are calling. Expect the unexpected is the only hint and warning you are going to get from me... I am off my meds and a wee bit cranky (LOL). You may even say I am on the rag. ;-)

http://www.pr.com/press-release/191735

"X2X Free MP3 Converter 3.0 - Freeware to Convert Video/Audio to MP3" is the title but I hesitate to click that link. Chicken? Maybe... Um... Er... Okay, yeah (LOL).

I do like their press release, so I keep hovering over that download button. I've got great equipment with really cool software and keep thinking wouldn't it be nice to give that puppy a spin and see what it can do. Then I start thinking in the wrong hands that might not be such a good thing. Hell, anything in the wrong hands isn't a good thing (LOL). I'm starting to go off topic here because anyone can buy or try anything they want, so I digress...

If you try it let me know how you like it... Being a Curious George kinda gal I'm curious to hear about what you guys do with it. I'm thinking it might be useful to turn my REBarCamp digital film into an audio file. Yeah, I've already picked something to give it a test run with. I'm just chicken to be the first one to start testing that puppy out. I wanna hear from a user so I can quantify that press release (LOL). Go have fun. :-)

I have to get back into the studio but I figured I'd pop in and say hello and find out what yall have been up to while I am working. We're planning another road trip, so I have to get all of my backlogged posts up before I go. That is a lot of NY, MD, VA, NC and SC eye candy to chat about (LOL).

Four new tracks are being mastered so I have to get back to my session. We are on a tight schedule. My lead singer is coming in for Thanksgiving so I have to have the music finalized so I can send over the wave files for her review. Sometimes I arrange music in the "wrong key" and have to swap it out for another octave depending upon how she feels about the groove and the range she wants to sing in (LOL). I'm thinking since I owe you guys 5 posts I should see if we can wrap up the 5th song for my gal pal in SC. That would be lovely. I have the lead on 4 of the others so I really need to get my butt back in there and put my headphones back on. I like instrumentals but my fan mail is full of people waiting to hear us sing. So we're writing original content and singing a few public domain covers to keep them interested and happy. My iTunes project is mad fun. You guys should create your own. Seriously... :-)

YouTube is on the agenda for this afternoon (after I get the little minions from school - LOL). I also have clients I need to take house hunting so I may not be back to play until dinner time... Will be lurking off and on in the Rain and serial commenting during break time.

Enjoy your day, sweetie pies. I am having a lot of fun enjoying mine. Will teach you how to monetize your blog with music later. ;-)

I had mad fun and I have lots of eye candy from my business trips. Yeah, there were multiple excursions to keep my ADD occupied (LMAO).

Will show you something really neat off I-95 NB Exit 118 in VA and will also show you some shots from MD while running amuck with Margaret Rome. Yup, caught her twice on the way up and down my I-95 wanderings and hooked up with several other Rainers as well. I'm thinking of hitting CT, Boston and DC next. Seems I'm always passing through there on my way to somewhere else... Time to stop and get curious with my camera. I need a lot of shots for my book. Can't make 'em all New York. Seems I should go exploring and broaden my blogging horizons (LOL). :-)

Hmm... Depending upon where I go that may or may not be a good thing (LOL). Knowing me, I may need a vacation after that... Have you been to Canada? I wanna go to Canada. I can drive there. They're right next door (LOL). Canada has this Ice Hotel they create every single year and after seeing my girlfriends vacationing there I wanna go in the worst way.

Is it eye candy envy? Maybe... but for business purposes I shall sacrifice my alleged travel eye candy envy and say it is in the name of Localism posts for the Outside Blog Minion Report and will work my photography gig to make it so (LMAO). Yeah... I'm thinking I like that idea. I need to write about interesting places to visit in Canada (LOL). It is official: I shall be working on my eye candy coffee book when I eventually go, so there (LMAO). Besides, the shorties need a real vacation and since I am a notorious snow bunny what the hey - lets do Canada... (ROTFLMAO). I will only work 8 hours a day, then take off to play with the wee people, who may or may not be working for M&Ms. ;-)

Before I we eventually explore Canada I have to visit DC. Wanna see the Smithsonian? I know I do. A jog past the White House would be nice as well. I like architecturally interesting buildings and I am thinking I need a monster turtle run post to get that series up and running again. It's been a while... I still do 'em because I am addicted but I just haven't been posting the material. That's gotta change. Mikey wants these pictures off his computer (LOL). Rumor has it looking at thirty buildings before you get two shots of the kids is not exactly his idea of what should be in one's digital photo album when you whip that puppy out to post an update of the kids on Facebook. :-)

BTW, whatcha' doing? Right now, I am cooking up something with the group Fraishe Air in mind. I was thinking a tour from NY to SC in pictures would be mad cool. I owe you guys a Albany post, three SC posts and am busting my bahookies to get some new music done for the Localism jammie I just cooked up for that awesome building in Salters, SC...

For the final set of questions: I have over 4GBs of REBarCamp RDU film and photographs. Filled up two SD cards and the memory on my Nikon. Shall be making more YouTubes and posting some of the "How To Monetize Your Bog" digital seminar handouts. Seems the few people I burned CDs for didn't keep their mouth shut and now I got a bunch of whiny I-want-one-too/why-didn't-you-tell-me-you-had-more-giveaways crazy lady e-mails. Fine... will share on-line what I didn't have time to toss up on the projector.

Time to get to work. Will be lurking off and on and I am on the prowl for a good blog to jack tonight.

Wordy C will be answering more of your e-mails later so go get comfy and stay tuned. This may get very interesting because some of these puppies are off the hook. Seems I made quite an impression on a few of you at REBarCamp.

I am not sure of the exact moment I went from being "a" Google Whore to becoming "THE" Google Whore before the seminar started, but I thank you for the compliment and shall accept the moniker bestowed upon me by my readers and peers, plus update my G-Ho-Diary with the NC draft I didn't get to post while I was there. Sorry... was too busy having fun doing a squirrel rescue with SarahGray Lam and Patricia Caldwell. Yeah... got film and eye candy on that too (LMAO). What a fun story have we three got to tell you guys. Seriously (ROTFL). The Adventures of a Google Whore will continue as soon as I finish sorting through a couple of hundred photographs with the wee people for my G-Ho-Diary (LOL). ;-)

So much to blog about, so little time (LOL). Nothing like an eye candy break in your outside office to make exploring the East coast fun. If you have people living in your computer that you love, fun becomes MAD FUN! Oh boy, have I got stories to tell you guys when I settle in (LMAO). ;-)

Ever been on I-85 leaving NC to enter VA? What beautiful views... Here's a example from the NB I-85 side a few miles into VA. I have a lot more shots to share so the ride home may get very interesting. Got Rainers to meet, food to eat, FUN STUFF to show and talk about (LOL). What? You didn't hear the news? It appears I went from being "a" Google Whore to being "THE" Google Whore (ROTFLMAO). How fun is that? Very! (LOL). Enroute to Margaret Rome. We're plotting and planning to tag team at Triple Play (and possibly Inman as well). Yay! ;-)

Gotta run... Wonder what I'll show you off I-95 later... Stay tuned... :-)

The ActiveRain Club Chaos NC Sleepover

I was not kidnapped, held hostage, made to do things that I did not want to do... Instead, I stayed of my own free will (don't tell my husband - LOL) because for sure hanging out in The Southern Part Of Heaven IS HEAVEN!!! (LMAO)

Tune in for the movie. It's all on tape (Hahahahahaaaaaaaa!). Psssst... if I tell you what we really did I'd have to kill ya' (LOL). Just kidding. Was training them on how to make movies and music with the programs I use and they taught me how to cook chicken in a really tasty way. Food porn? You betcha! (LOL). I love my job as the Jr Ambassador from NY. Work can be mad fun, especially when you are editing excerpts to share. I have a lot of film and photographs (LOL). ;-)

BTW, several YouTubes are in progress and we will be reviewing REBarCamp RDU in a little while...

Time to hit the road. Will be blogging live from I-95 on my way home from NC. Looking forward to seeing my wee people and the hubby. Next stop: MD. :-)

I have been cracking up all day and having a wonderful time showing off your web pages, Life With Wee People, ActiveRain and holding attendees to my seminars hostage until they signed up for their free ActiveRain accounts (LMAO). They couldn't follow along with class without being a member because we clicked and visited quite a few of your blogs today.

We have new bay-bays to welcome to the Network. Here are a few photographs and a video excerpt from one of my classes. The first one was standing room only so they moved me to a larger conference room with comfy chairs. I had lots of give aways and we played the Wordy C version of Truth or Dare. Yes... there is film (LOL). ;-)

Club Chaos Is Going Live At REBarCamp RDU

Are you ready? Are you sure? We're Going Live in 5 at REBarCamp RDU (LOL). Elenor Throne, Heather O, Jeremy Blanton, Ann Allen, Suzie Blackmon, SarahGray Lam, Carol Smith and a host of other bay-bays are on location enjoying the social media revolution.

Wordy C will be making an appearance as a thought leader. How to monetize your blog and writing transparently are the topics. Will be highlighting the dynamics of socialization when we jack a blog. ;-)

Margaret Rome was kind enough to donate autographed copies of her book and we will be playing truth or dare to give them away during the writing transparency class.

Stay tune for more eye candy later... The bay-bays will be tag teaming with me to update you guys later. If you have anything you'd like to say to the NC attendees feel free to comment here. I will be showcasing your blogs to 300+ people. We are streaming live on-line so this may get very interesting. :-)
