I used to have over 30 videos on my YouTube account, and I took all of them down when I had my account restricted by YouTube for copyright issues. I have had a few of you ask of me to re-post these videos and am happy to say I can post them here without fear of YouTube taking them down.
As a first request, my friend Tommy requested I put up the 12 Days of Christmas video. This video has been a Christmas tradition in my family for years now. A few years ago I edited it and gave it to my sister for her birthday. We now watch it every Christmas eve and have a good hearty laugh. I was such a showoff. Sorry in advance for my hammy-ness. :)
If there is another video you would like to request, post a comment to this blog and I'll see what I can do.

Motivation - The Never Ending Struggle
I often get discouraged, and worry that I will never really feel extremely motivated. I forget that this is a lifelong struggle for a lot of us. I am throwing an open question out to you: What do you do to motivate yourself to get going or to work on something you don't really want to do?
Like the greatest procrastinators of all time, I usually distract myself with something I'd RATHER do instead of what I SHOULD be doing. That is classic procrastination, no?
I figured out a positive way to procrastinate... but it can backfire. I've learned to give myself another choice of something else I'm procrastinating and decide to do the "lesser of two evils". It works pretty well.
An example is cleaning my office. If I'd rather not clean my office, I give myself another choice of cleaning my bathroom. I'd rather clean my office than clean my bathroom - so I end up cleaning my office to procrastinate cleaning my bathroom. Then, when I think of exercising - I will clean my bathroom before going for a walk. It can be bad if there is something I REALLY don't want to do, because I think of a million other things I can do instead. This is where things fall through the cracks.
What do you do to motivate yourself? Do you have a similar form of distraction? This form is not always positive, but it works for me. Now that I've distracted myself from cleaning my office and then working, I think I'll get up and go clean the bathroom so I can exercise. ;)

A New Year, A New Vlog!
Hi Friends!
Here we are at 2010! I thought we'd have flying cars by now. Oh well, my zippy Toyota will have to do.
I made a new Vlog, it's kind of long - but if you view from 2:25 you will have a good laugh. Enjoy!
