5 Random Things

It’s Friday, time to bring back 5 Random Things…

Literally, the first 5 things at the top of my brain…

1. The interview I did with Derek Webb for the Killer Tribes Audio Bonus Package was amazing. When he said to me, “You can have a vibrant career with just a small tribe of fans and followers…” I stopped him mid-sentence and said, “Tell us how!”. And then he proceeded to do that.

Between that and Ben Arment’s insight on making a dream happen, it’s like a 60-minute class on working smarter, not harder (not to mention the other 5.5 hours of audio as well). Only on sale for 5 more days, don’t miss it: Killer Tribes Audio  

2. Erica and I are watching Big Brother again this summer. We’ve never missed a season. Not sure whether I should be extremely proud or deeply ashamed of this.

3. Kind of wishing I was going to the ECHO conference next week, but you can’t go to them all…especially when you’re close to a goal that you’ve been chasing for a while. Best of luck to Scott McClellan & the awesome crew down there! Hope to see you next year!

4. The grandpa from Rugrats is officially the character I despise the most on television. My kids have been watching it on Netflix recently and every time he opens his mouth I want to punch him in the voicebox until my arm falls off. I have issues, I know.

5. Going camping this weekend with friends of ours. First time as a family, so it should be interesting. As long as we have cell service I’ll be tweeting updates: @bryanallain.

UPDATE: just saw this. wow, this is gonna be interesting.

Got a random thought floating around, leave it in the comments for everyone to read.

And don’t miss out on the discounted Killer Tribes Audio! Thanks for your support!

    Last night, in talking with people in a church we now are a part of, I was labeled a “non-denominationalist.” Never heard that before.

    A rather random thought I was discussing with friends today was that the word “procrastabaking” should become more common. Procrastabaking is unnecessary cooking (especially baking) done to avoid doing more important tasks.

    Since when does light rain cause flash flooding?

      I was wondering the same thing!

    My random thought – I just saw last night that people are boycotting Chik-fil-a because of their stance of Pro Traditional Family. Specifically Ed Helms. The NARD DOG is boycotting CFA! This hurt me on a deeper level than it probably should have.

    Anyway, I said on twitter last night that I think we should all eat Chik-fil-a twice today to counteract this. It will be the tastiest nonprotest protest in recent history. You have more clout than me, Bryan Allain, so I am putting it on you to start this revolution.

    Our slogan could be: Man and Woman, Pickles and Chicken…the perfect marriage. Or something else, I’m just spit balling here.

    Don’t leave your kids alone with gasoline and a Styrofoam cup. You may end up seeing daylight in your tent.

    I was watching Big Brother last night when a guy from my church called to propose a business idea he has and eanted to share with me. I listened, while watching BB on mute. I have no idea what was going on exceot Willie started yelling and cussing at Frank, but some chick got voted off. I have no backstory. That was frustrating.

    And I don’t think I am going to do the business thing either. Strike two

    I usually hum quietly to myself when I’m downtown, thinking it will keep away tall panhandling mimes. Seems to be working.

    I liked the grandpa from Rugrats! I’ll have to go revisit that show.
