A “perfect storm’ for sexting.”

“…one in five teen girls (22%), nearly as many teen boys (18%) and one-third (33%) of young adults have electronically sent, or posted online, nude or semi-nude photographic or video images of themselves.”

You go girl (s) and boys. Perhaps we should be paying more attention to some recent LG ads.

sexting

If parents sexted more – it would be uncool. Therefore teens would not partake. Similar to the now evolving Facebook effect.

PS22 – Not a game console

I’m not usually a fan of these types of videos… but for some reason I find myself showing more and more people this video after my cousin Elizabeth shared it with me. There is something about the innocence of an elementary school chorus that makes the future look bright.

I hated choir … and I’m not much a fan of Lady Gaga, but these two wrongs make a right.

ESPN – World Long Drive Championships

WLDC on ESPN

If you missed the telecast – wait for it to hit YouTube or tune in on Christmas day at 12 noon for the next and last airing.

This was a fun event to be a part of this year and I’m looking forward to taking my long drive career to a new level in 2010. Just as long as my manager is on board.

Tune in here to full fill your long drive cravings.

Riley Poor – Transitions

On December 4th I was lucky enough to attend a special premiere of Riley Poor’s latest creation … Transitions down at Craig Hospital.

I was truly blown away by this film not only because it goes back to the era of skiing I thrived and grew up in … which brings amazing memories. But also because it is such a beautiful documentary about one of the greatest pipe throbs of all time, Simon Dumont.

Now – I just can’t wait for Riley’s next project and to possibly get deeper into the real meaning behind Transitions. After all, out of everyone I know (minus my dad) there isn’t anyone who has taken a larger transition in their lives in this past year other then Riley Poor. I still wear his sticker on the back of my phone and think daily about what a true inspiration he is has become … from day one.

RIP – Barrel Man

December 24th, 2005 - Barrel Man + Hydle

His name was Tim McKernan. He took a $10 bet from his brother in 1977 that he wouldn’t wear a barrel to Denver Broncos football game. 30 years and 22 different barrels later, Tim finally retired from his superfan role as “The Barrel Man” in 2007.

Friday, at the age of 69, Tim McKernan lost his battle with an inoperable respiratory disease.

Dear barrel man – I salute you.

LG – Give it a Ponder

YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and Wikipedia … it’s all there – and it’s all about building awareness around such a simple idea. Way to go LG … I’m going genius on this.
