The ONE Picture that changed my life...

This is the ONE picture that changed my life: 

The news is out, the secret is busted- I couldn't hold out any longer:
 
We're having a baby!

That's just one there by the way, in case you thought maybe it was two.
I have been holding it in for weeks (12 to be exact), and I FINALLY get to tell everyone.

Also, I went to a career fair for Skidmore. More thoughts after the video:


So, there ya go! I have some more thoughts on the Career fair thing. I'll save them for another video.

"That's show business!" she said. But then...

"That's Show Business!" she said. But then I told her this...

Have you ever ben so excited about a part because you KNEW the producer, the director, and had done the show with them before? THE SAME SHOW?

Only to find out that you didn't get it?

Yeah- me too. And today, I tell a little story about it, and how when you don't NEED the show, the pain of it can go away.

That's show business! - YouTube: ""

You see, we were already doing a show that day- we were both already sharing our talent and making people laugh, and talking about a horse and a farmer... "Maybe" is a great way to see the future.

When you work for yourself, then you get to control your own life, and your own time. Would you like my help in doing that? Then START.

Car Alarm Angers Me, So We Do This!

Car Alarm, Ringing all day, at sub-freezing temperatures

This is at 9:30pm, and we realized that this car alarm had been going off every 5 minutes for over 12 hours. I had called 311, and they told me it was a 911 emergency... Well, nothing happened. So we investigated...

Some people walked by as we made this, and I think I scared them a little.
But I was angry!

SHAME ON YOU SAAB OWNER, License plate #CSW4884!!!!

Thankfully, we're artists, and turned our anger into a little scene. Thankfully we don't have jobs, so we can do this kind of thing.

The Day AFTER Christmas?

I'm in Seattle visiting with my wife's side of the family, and I realized that so many people were just getting off of work the day after Christmas...

Seriously, isn't it better to NOT go to work, and instead live the laptop lifestyle?
C'mon, let's do it together!

Drunk New Years Motivation!

Happy 2014- Here's a Little Drunk New Year's Motivation!

Last night we went to a party in Brooklyn, and we ran up on the VERY, VERY COLD roof to look at the fireworks. However, once we got up there, we decided that we could see them through the windows JUST FINE. As we went in, I wanted to tell you this:

So, when you are making resolutions about what you want to DO this year, why not make them about who you want to BE, and let that create the decisions about your actions?

As for me, I have chosen to be someone who teaches people how to make money from home, so I constantly talk to people about creating assets and selling them. Over and Over. What about you?

"Santernet Claus" Brought What You Wanted... Now What?

I just invented "Santernet Claus"

- to tell you that The Internet has made all of us Artists dreams come true.

As I read on Seth's Blog:  today, the Internet has made it so that if you said you wanted a way to DO your art without needing the gatekeepers, you can.

"If you're an actor, that means that when the internet says you can perform what you'd like, film it with the team you've chosen and distribute it far and wide..."

 But just because you CAN, it doesn't mean you will, does it?


It's terrifying to know that there are no real boundaries to your dreams, because the only thing to fight is your enemy in the mirror- And what if you can't win that battle?

I am asking MYSELF this as I write it- Why am I writing this post instead of writing, and shooting my own comedy work and uploading it for all the world to see?

Today is the day after Christmas, and whereas I'm sure we got some stuff we all wanted under the tree, what we REALLY say we want is right under our chests- GO DO IT.

Does Getting Rich Make You Mean?

Does Getting Rich Make You Mean?

Apparently, it kinda does.

This TED talk from Paul Piff outlines the studies he did when people who were set up with privilege in a game of monopoly began to see themselves as the reason for their dominance. Apparently, they had completely forgotten that they were given special rules, and they lost compassion for the other player:

Paul Piff: Does money make you mean? | Video on TED.com: ""

In the home business world, I see this happen all the time. People who are "Trainers" really begin to think that they did something spectacular, when they forgot that they accidentally sponsored someone who had a large following, and then they think they've done something.
Big Al talks about there always being "another story" that people seem to not mention when they're promoting their wild success.
That's not to say that the success isn't deserved, but that sometimes there is a bunch of luck that seems to be overlooked.

And then they become callous and MEAN.

What do you think?
