Hi Friends,

So I’ve been thinking of how I can mix up these Wooden Nickels vlogs because it can get pretty tough coordinating with people’s schedules to release a new one every week.  My solution is to do my own college advice/how-to/tutorial type videos.  Examples: how to format a resume, how to write an admissions essay, how to not gain the freshman 15…I don’t know.

These are things that people need to know!  I gained the freshman 15 + some…and I’ve seen some pretty horrible resumes that were sent to my friend who is hiring at the restaurant where he is sous chef.  Why is it that people who are 30 years old still don’t know how to write a resume or follow the instructions of a job application?  Because they’ve been waiting for me to tell them.  That’s why

So what’s your story?

I’m obviously on another break. I have a huge deadline and I need to focus!  Blogging and vlogging are alot of work!  But you can talk to me over on twitter.

Thanks for continuing to rock with me.

Hi Friends,

My week-long absence from you is only because my amazing family spent Christmas with me in Los Angeles. Every day that they have been here has been brimming over with excitement and go-go-going. I can’t believe it’s already time for them to leave and I’m finding it even harder to believe that it’s time to say goodbye to 2009.

Just to reflect, 2009 brought me:
* Wooden Nickels – The Movie Blog
* Wooden NIckels – The Movie Vlog
* Alot of great interviews
* Alot of new friends
* Alot of blood, sweat, and tears in negotiation talks
* Alot of dancing
* Alot of pretty nifty marketing ideas
* Alot of good television…namely Dexter, Friday Night Lights, Lost, The Wire, and The Office
* Some new revelations about myself
* Some new-found talents
* Some new road navigation skills (thanks to my gps)
* Some new, rad hangout spots in LA
* Some great dance classes
* The awesomeness that is the farmer’s market
* The awesomeness that is Skype
* And most importantly…ALL OF YOU! THANK YOU FOR WRITING, READING, & SHARING. You make my life more interesting!

So here’s my ode to 2010…
*Let’s rock this joint.   It’s gonna be awesome. *

See you on the other side

Hi Friends,

I have not completely disappeared.  A lot of exciting things are brewing and they need my undivided attention.  So my posts will be a little less frequent for the next few weeks as I go into intense preparation mode.  Thank you for watching and reading.  Please tell your friends about Wooden Nickels.

Hi Friends,

I’ve had a jam-packed week of re-working some things and preparing for a BIG meeting.? So, I’ll drop some little nuggets for you to marinate on.

• When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on so long in the first place.
• This is not a sprint.? This is a long distance run.? This is a marathon.
• Discouragement is the greatest enemy of progress on the entire face of the earth.
• Hustlas don’t sleep.? We take naps.

So what’s your story?

Hey Friends,

Yall will not believe the week I’ve had with YouTube.? As I write, the vlog is still not up and it’s been a complete wear out.? Thus, I am giving you and myself and free day.? You can discuss whatever you want here or you can go and frolic in the meadow.? I just need to give my brain a rest.? And hopefully, by the time you read this, I’ll have a vlog to show you.

TGIF
