Hugh MacLeod – Complete Agreement

There are a couple reasons why I have never applied myself in the corporate world. This is one of them…

“Back in my early corporate days, this came as quite a shock to me: that people sitting around the table didn’t always say what they were REALLY thinking! Shock! Horror!

But why would anyone lie? Aren’t we all meant to be on the same team?

But after a while, you get used to it. After a while, it’s normal. After a while, you learn to laugh at it.

And that’s when the cartoon appears…”

Interestingly enough… you can apply this concept directly to relationships too.
Thanks Hugh.

TOTD – Internet Famous

Everybody's Internet Famous

“I have a lot of friends that you could describe as “Internet Famous”. One of the advantages of being an early-adaptor blogger is seeing the careers of some your friends from the early days take of. Sometimes, seeing them take of to the sky, it seems.

Whereas you, well, you’re just the same. Still stuck in the same ol’ same ol’.

Unlike your now-famous rockstar friends. Or whatever.

All is vanity.”

Little Ralphy

A teacher asks her class, ‘If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?’

She calls on little Ralphy.

He replies, ‘None, they will all fly away with the first gunshot.’

The teacher replies, ‘The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking..’

Then little RALPHY says, ‘I have a question for YOU.

There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream:
One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream.
The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone.
The third is biting off the top of the ice cream.
Which one is married?’

The teacher, blushing a great deal, replied, ‘Well, I suppose the one that’s gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.’

To which Little RALPHY replied, ‘The correct answer is ‘the one with the wedding ring on,’ but I like your thinking.’

Hydle Finally Inspired – Take Charge of Your Health

Ted Archuleta ready to go massive on your ass

June 4th, 2011 – Ted Archuleta will reveal his newly shaped body to the world when he performs his 60 second routine to this get pumped version of “All of the Lights” by Kanye West and Rihanna.

Directions – How To Take Charge of Your Health

1 – Listen to the mix we made — All of the Lights (Archuleta Mix by Hydle)
2 – Get pumped.
3 – Now you understand where the context of this email is coming from.

Ok Ted … time for Hydle to take charge of his health.

I want a program – I want small episodes of how to cook – how to eat healthy – and I want to understand why why why… why a certain percentage of whole wheat whatever is ok vs. some other whole wheat whatever. I want to bring this story into my blogo-sphere-land and story telling ability and it is going to connect with other random cooking things I have in the pipeline.

There is a space for this now and in the future… your identity has already been slightly established (http://www.hydle.com/blog/tag/ted-archuleta/) and with your weight training and body building success about to unfold we have a perfect launching platform to tell stories.

This will take work — actually it will probably be the most difficult thing you have ever achieved (way harder then going to coors complex and not drinking beer)… but I think you can muster it. Let me know if you are up for being the master dietitian… + rocket scientist. And maybe energy drink review master for Hydle.com

Rock on!
Hydle

4 – Support Ted at the Mile High Natural Bodybuilding Championships on June 4th.
5 – Live better and smile more.
6 – Repeat steps 1 and 2.
7 – Repeat step 6 – over and over and over again.

New Balance – Ubaldo Jimenez – “Tell Me”

[YouTube Link] <— 5,566 I recently visited New Balance and had the ability to interview the man in charge of creating this ad campaign. This series slightly reminds me of the 1980s No Fear ads...

Level 1 – After Dark – Parker White Triple

[Vimeo Link] <— 86,500

“Believe the hype! Triples are the new hot thing in skiing. Not wanting to be left out and to push himself to the max, P White went after it this past week and stomped a triple of his own. Check the full shot and TONS more in Level 1’s forthcoming flick, “After Dark,” dropping September 9th, 2011.”

Only one question coming from me. Where is the Volcano?
