I Did 198 Takes Last Night for My Video Blog – A Confession

The beginning and the end.

I told my girlfriend a lie last night.

To be fair, this was unintentional. Had I known the actual truth (as I do now) I may have very well snapped the remaining thread of sanity holding me upright or thrown myself from a balcony screaming.

On my way home from work yesterday I put together some thoughts for a video blog. I wrote down eleven points I wanted to discuss including an upcoming trip, a holiday card I’m sending to readers, and a story about not picking up my dog’s poop (which I still don’t do even though I promised you I would).

I Overpack For My Trips Home Just Like You

It's like this Renaissance sculptor really gets me, man. He gets me.

I do this every time…

Packing for a weekend home with my parents I aim high. I bring jeans, two pairs of dress pants, several solid color t-shirts, two button-down shirts, a polo, and workout clothes.

I also pack a book, my HD webcam, and notepad.  Of course I pre-load the phone with audiobooks and podcasts so I won’t be bored during the drive. READ MORE

Blog From the Bathtub

I didn't realize that rose petals and horchata made for great bathing substrate. Going on my to-do list.

Months ago I did a  vlog from the bathtub. It was pretty gross.

That was the last time I took a bath. Well, it’s Saturday night and my dance card is empty, so it’s time for a soak. …In a porcelain tub with a glass of water.  And a cat walking around.  And a dog hiding because she thinks I’m going to pull her in (which I totally do, it’s how she gets bathed).

I’ve Been Showering In The Guest Bath

This kid is inspiring me to do a week sleeping on the floor. Bet I can get at least a solid three blog posts out of it. The things I do for you people!

At least six times a year (basically, whenever I can remember to) I flip around and sleep backwards in bed.  You know, head where the feet are supposed to be.

In a weird way, it’s almost like a mini vacation.  I wake up, and for a second I don’t know exactly where I am.  The room is totally foreign from this vantage point.  I’m not sure why I get such a kick out of it.  When I was married and also with past girlfriends, I haven’t found anyone that gets as much pleasure from this simple change.  I feel like my current girlfriend would do it, but only because she knew how excited I get.  But in her mind she’d think it was stupid.  It sort of is.

Vlog – From The Tub

This video was entirely shot, edited, produced and uploaded from the tub.  I know.  It’s cool.

The double chin shown in the video is a special effect I used.  Naturally.

Coming Home – Vlog

Do you enjoy coming home?  I guess that depends if your parents suck or not.  Here’s my take.
