Live From the Messy Desk: Episode Zero: Beard Twins!

The videoblog (vlog, for all you hipsters) that wasn’t.  The problem, as stated in an email to a few trusty gmail users (sorry, hotmail):

I try not to think about what might have been.

“So I just got done with my first video blog. Unfortunately, I left some copyrighted music playing in the background and I won’t be able to post it to YouTube.  As I explain in the clip, this was just supposed to be a practice video (hence my overall appearance) but I ended up liking it and wanting to post.  Well, YouTube can’t have it and WordPress doesn’t let you upload the QuickTime format.  Anywhoo, I thought you might enjoy.  Sorry if I just totally crashed your inbox.”

If you’d like your own copy of this tiny bit of internet history, drop me a line.   A proper Episode 1 to follow.

  1. Notes: (1) I can’t help but think of Conan’s videoblogs (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjntkXWsA00. (2) In addition to blocking you from publishing on youtube, the background music makes it rather difficult to hear you. (3) I am currently rocking a remarkably similar beard, though a bit less robust. See a low-quality photo.(4) I can’t comment on the facial hair of Jesus or Moses, but you’re a long way from Gimli. Aragorn, perhaps.

  2. heh. Well, the Welshy color is similar to Gimli. And I appreciate you sharing your beard pic…that’s a pretty nice one. Has a good “playoffs??” feel. Even when I don’t mean to, I can only say or hear “playoffs” in that way for obvious reasons. Yeah…Conan is an inspiration, and not just on the beard front.

  3. Just like in college when the family was insisting you cut your hair for graduation, I have your back. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/MdgPxQwjpXd4Z89pb6Pw1ANGMT2oo0IBlyD1cmMfzSw?feat=directlink Been rocking the bear in Guatemala. My boss actually told me he prefers it when I have a bear rather than am clean shaven, so I’ve decided the bear stays until job interviews come around in a few months.
