Yup… read it and weep. It is TRUE. God has been talking to me, again. This usually happens to me in the middle of the night. He usually says, “Get up and go pee.” This happened to me again last night!
If you think I’m joking, just imagine what would happen if He didn’t say that!

Now, there’s a few things that “came to me” after I got back in bed, but I honestly cannot say for sure if it was God telling me these things… I’m just being honest, Buckaroos. I guess I will know “later” if these ideas came from God or not. BTW, #4 is, by far, the most exciting, so you might want to read it first. ;)

1) Creative Karaoke.
a) Instead of singing a song, try to convincingly “speak” the words like you would a poem.
b) Listen to a karaoke soundtrack via headphones, then record (or make a video) of you singing the song, i.e. the only thing people will hear is you singing…
c) and so on… ;)

2) 3D Kites.
This is actually an old idea of mine, so I will look and try to find old posts or videos about it. Imagine a bunch of kites in the sky that have stereoscopic 3D graphics on them (probably anaglyph would be easiest), and a group of spectators looking at them via 3D glasses.

3) Musical Kites.
Another old idea. I’ve got an old post about this, too. I will try to find it. Think of kites that actually make “music” somehow. Then, how about a “kite band”, i.e. a group of people flying musical kites together… etc… you know what I mean…

4) Aggressive, Random “Friending”.
When Janice (Maddy) and I were in Facebook, that creepy, evil, weird social networking site that Satan created (;)), I used an aggressive technique of “friending” people that was based on “personal interests”, e.g. music, fitness, 3D, etc. It generated almost 5,870 friends in 6-8 months or so, and AAMOF, it got to the point to where it was “self-generating” and we no longer had to look for friends, i.e. they simply found us, and Janice actually reached the “Facebook limit” soon after that (5,000). :) People were coming in by the bus loads, at that point. ;)
But, I’m not really sure if the idea of using “personal interests” to acquire friends works any better than just using a “random” method… by simply just going out there and aggressively trying to friend anybody and everybody… with the idea that people are people, and _all_ people have lots of things in common.
So, my idea is to just go get ‘em, Buckaroos… anybody and everybody. ;)
Now, why do I want so many friends? Networking. Sharing. Helping. Showing. Etc. Maybe even “selling”. If I have something that is valuable to others, then being in contact with large numbers of “friends” would theoretically make it “easier” to sell something…

Do you dig this?
Hey, I gotta go pee… I’ll be back later. LOL.

I still have my Ustream channel, too:
http://www.ustream.tv/user/RogerMaddy/videos
Janice and I had a bunch of fun in there a few years back when it first got started, and there are still some of our recorded videos up. Charlie Sheen has been vlogging in there in the past few days, so the servers might be groaning… Ustream is where my funny Hannah Montana incident happened, BTW. Those were some fun times. I’ll go back in there ASAP and stir up some trouble. ;)

BTW, I have motives for what I am doing here… I am going to be applying some very aggressive friending and subscribing techniques that I learned in my short and not always sweet time in the dark caves of Facebook. The difference will be that I will be doing this all out in the open, out in the real cyber world… not “hiding” anywhere. And the whole reason is for “networking”, i.e. sharing information. If I happen to generate some income (money) by doing this, that would be nice, too. :)

Keep watching. We can learn together… :)

Speaking from experience… and trust me, I have plenty, I’d like to start off with a few “don’ts” about networking, tagging, etc.
You pretty much get what you ask for with internet bots, e.g. if you spend lots of time in Google searching for things like nudity, sex and pornography, then that’s what the bots will attempt to show you through things like ads. Now the ads on my blog page are Google ads, so I’m going to assume that although you might see ads about hot babes in bikinis, pole dancers in night clubs or teenage girls in short skirts dirty dancing, you most likely won’t see ads that contain nude chicks, any XXX stuff, etc.
Also, if my blog had this kind of content on it, I probably wouldn’t have gotten accepted for carrying the ads, and I’m sure that if I started showing porn and smut, they would quickly remove the ads… I would hope so, anyway, since I have no interest in those kinds of things.
A quick story about content, since we know that “sex sells” more than any other thing on earth… Years ago, I put a video up on YouTube called “Searching For A Nude Beach” or something like that, and it got so many views so quickly that it actually spooked me, so I deleted it. Hey, I was a newbie… LOL. The video was just a funny flic showing me “looking” for a nude beach, and it obviously didn’t show any naked people. :) BTW, I just located all those old videos of mine, and will re-post them as I get time. I found a hard drive that contains just about everything I have done online since the early 2000′s.

So, just be careful out there. On the ‘net, you basically get exactly what you ask for, if you catch my drift. ;)
