I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season so far. As a present to my readers, I have decided to write an entertaining little post. It isn’t 100 percent PR-driven, but it should make your Friday go a little better. Enjoy!
1. I have more than 1,000 views on my blog! Yippeeee!
I have found this whole blogging experience to be pretty sweet. I have the chance to write about whatever is on my mind, ranging anywhere from the 2008 presidential election to the Cleveland Indians. And, apparently people are reading it. Very cool. Bill told me at the beginning of the fall semester that I had the “blogging bug.” I laughed it off, but then it became a harsh reality. I am not joking when I say I have got up at 3 a.m. and thought to myself, “I should blog about this or that.” I must say it’s rather addicting and oh-so-fun at the same time. Here’s to another great year of blogging!
2. Go Team Cincinnati!!!
So, I am a bit of a TV nerd. Now that I have no classes to keep me occupied, I have been spending my weeknights in front of the television. As you all know, I have a love for Cincinnati. It’s one of my favorite places to visit ( and not only because Aaron lives there .) Clash of the Choirs was on television this week. For all you who don’t watch the cheesy reality shows, here is a quick synopsis. Celebrities go back to their hometowns and assemble choirs. Then, they fly to NYC for a week and compete for a grand prize of $250,000. The money is then given to the hometown charity of choice. In Cincinnati’s case, the charity was Children’s Hospital. It was quite a victory for Cincinnati, and all of Ohio. I was pretty excited about it– especially because the choir did a version of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places.” Take that puzzled look of your face and check out the choir’s version of the song here. I think anyone who can pull this off deserves to win.
3. Welcome to the blogging world Rob Jewell!
Everyone that reads my blog knows that I am very proud of the Kent PR program and all it has taught me over the past four years. I read Bill’s blog on a daily basis. Now, I am happy to welcome another great professor to the blogosphere. Everyone should check out Rob’s blog, PR on the run. Rob is a great teacher. He always encouraged me to do my best. He pushed me to excel, but always provided positive feedback. I am excited to continue my PR education through his blog. Bill– two professors down, how many more to go?
Okay, enough rambling for one day. Merry Christmas everyone!
For some sick humor, check out my new favorite Youtube video. If you are easily offended, you may want to avoid playing the video. But, I laugh every single time I watch it.
Three a.m., eh? My inspiration arrives at 4. I wrote about it way back when. Here’s the link: http://toughsledding.wordpress.com/2006/09/27/does-blogging-call-you-at-4-am/
Hang in there as long as you can, Abby. The blog will help you find your voice. Just don’t let it steal your life. But then again, I’m not sure which is the bigger time-waster, blogging or “Clash of the Choirs.” (I did see they “Friends in Low Places” arrangement, and it wasn’t bad!)
And thanks for the video. That’s funny.
dude.. that was awesome! Ac-phlegm-med could have been incredibly racist but the dude really walked that fine line.. really awesome!
“are you my 72 virgins?”
“did they say they’d be female virgins?”
“ooohhh… man… but wait, i get to have clay akien!” hahaha
