Since I redesigned my blog, I gave myself the freedom to write about anything I want (except Social Media & business). With that in mind though, there are some things I don’t want to touch EVER, like politics.

So… I’m not going to mention that I am overjoyed that a Judge in California finally got some sense and overturned Proposition 8.  I can’t believe something like that could even pass in the first place.

Since I will not be speaking about any political issues, I’ll let Grafunkel & Oats do the talking for me.

Enjoy:

I’ve been talking about it for a while, but now I’m fully committing to reshaping what my website is about.

I’ve struggled in the past finding a voice for my blog. I want to showcase my personality and I realized that isn’t possible to do correctly. I’m way too eclectic to balance the professional and the actual.  Most people who want to read a blog about Social Media, don’t want to also hear about new indie bands or listen to my rants about life and tyrannosauruses and vice versa.

Because of this, I’m removing Social Media from my blog entirely.

Now this doesn’t mean I am going to stop writing about Social Media altogether, but what it does mean is that my Work Focused side is going to be pushed to an entirely new blog that will be Zombie free (the bad jokes will remain though).

I know this might be a crazy move for all the Personal Branding people out there, but that’s fine with me. I’m proud of me and my personality and if I want to attach my name to a blog that is about cats, indie rock, and television bashing instead of my thought leadership blog, that’s my decision to make.

Having this focus now frees me to be more creative with what I write and keep each one focused on what it should have been about in the first place. You need to know the rules before you break them or else it’s just chaos.

The new site is being designed now and will launch in the next week or two, so if you’re here for Social Media, feel free to ignore me until then. If you’re here for the rest, I hear there are some good tunes below to check out.

I will be the first to admit it; I’m a huge dork for Tony Robbins.

That’s not something I tell everyone, but if you’re one of the lucky few to read my blog welcome to my dark secret.

It sounds lame, but I was excited to watch this new show. Even though I look super tough on the outside (like an apple) I’m actually a bit of a softie (like ice cream) and I like watching people overcome adversity.

When push comes to shove the show did what it was supposed to do, make me cry, but I couldn’t get over the production of it. The whole time I felt like I was watching a Job Training video from the 70’s.

Right out of the gate Tony is talking to the camera in a way that could be easily changed over to an episode of Cheaters and you wouldn’t know the difference. He’s standing in front of a generic looking background and begins talking up the show on a basic level trying to add some drama.

I’m not bashing Cheaters here, it gets a pass when it comes to lackluster production because it’s a cheesy show. If Cheaters was as polished as a network reality show it would lose all of its luster, the opposite situation happened for me here.

I’m still going to watch it again next week, hopefully it was just the pilot that I didn’t like. If that episode doesn’t do it for me, I’ll just watch Cheaters on Demand.

Anyway, let’s forget I even made this post and forget the fact I’m a Tony Robbins fan.
