Although I don’t think I’m cut out to be a full-time parent, I’m starting to REALLY like kids. Two in particular. My daughter Nikki (Ladybug) and my nephew LJ (who I think looks just like me when I was his age.) As my sister Alesia and I say “Nick and LJ can run with us anytime!”
They’re both really smart, really fun, absolutely fearless and pretty darned cool! Loved hangin’ with you guys in Datona Beach last summer. Lookin’ forward to Ft. Lauderdale this summer.
So, as we were hangin’ out last week looking for something to do – besides look at the idiot box or go out in the 100 degree heat – I decided to have them act out some characters in a mock interview.
I gave them each a hat and glasses for props, briefed them on their role and gave them about 30 minutes to “get into character.” Lights, camera, my worst Aussie/Brit accent and 10 minutes later we had the first official interview on the International Superstar Channel.
OFFICIAL CAPTION: The International Superstar Channel interviews the World’s Greatest Athlete of All Time, JT – and the World’s Biggest Pop Star Nikki Nicole aka The Ladybug Diva. They give us some insight into their personal lives and the Diva even graces us with a song. An interview not to be missed by the poparrazzi or the groupies. (Video by YT)
…and I just started blogging. I’m converting my previous website over to this blog over the next few weeks, so slowly you’ll see my page count grow – and my post count too.
What will I be blogging about? Hmmm. Probably some of everything… All I know is my last web site kinda sucked and I’m already much happier with this!
The ‘make money at it’ part of my lifestyle. Currently that’s working with professional speakers and writing on CampusTalkBlog. I’ve stopped referring to this part of my life as my job, profession, career or business. Using those terms creates a separation that I’m no longer comfortable with. It’s an integral PART of my life (not my whole life) and it has to fit into the lifestyle I’m building or it just doesn’t work for me.
My crazy, interesting and always entertaining family/families. Who, by the way, are no more or less disfunction al than the next family – make the your family. From my amazing daughter (aka Ladybug) and budding nieces and nephews who make me a kid again, to my sisters who’s elevators don’t go all the way to the top (and you know who you are!), to aging parents and everyone related to me by some convoluted way… they entertain me. Might as well share.
Living healthy. I just wanna feel great every day and leave a good lookin’ corpse!
Stuff I just find interesting, even if you don’t. That includes the Steelers, Star Trek, Jeopardy and whatever.
Music, music, music. Because “Life Deserves a Soundtrack,” and I’ve been called by a few, “The Best DJ Ever!”
Movies. Answer: “Dialog.” Question: “What makes a good movie, Alex?” I don’t do a lot of TV, but I’ll watch a good movie any time!
My Personal Reading Library. “God bless books.” That’s all I can say. I’m really into audio books these days, so you’ll probably hear a lot about those.
Ohhh, a whole lot more as well. But why keep talkin’ about it. Just do it. I’ll be bloggin’ back atcha soon!
