Social Blend, The Ocho, & The Ape

I wanted to give a shout to the Social Blend podcast crew (cGt2099, Bdog2g2, SilentJay74, and Nomadelle) for The Ocho/8th episode mention of my video Mixx submission. I think it’s a rare online community which so quickly generates such a rich culture for new and “old-ish” users alike. I really do enjoy the entire Mixx universe. Anyway, the Social Blend podcast and the Mixxing Bowl really are top notch resources for any Mixx user, so if you aren’t already, do yourself a favor and check them out.
On another Mixx related note, check out Honest_Ape’s site: hOneStaPe.net, and pretty much anything he submits. I think most Mixxers would put Ape at the top of the list when it comes to consistently great submissions, hilarious comments, and truly honest blogging which will surely draw you in.

Adam Carolla on Dancing With the Stars

On today’s Adam Carolla Show, Adam made a huge announcement: he would be appearing on the next season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. I must say I was shocked to hear this news. Adam is not the kind of guy you normally associate with such inoffensive, mass-appeal network shows. But I admit, the more I thought about this news the more I applaud his decision.
From the first time I heard Adam on Loveline I was a fan, hooked by his quick wit, common-man observations, and dead accurate analogies. Throughout his career Adam has blazed a trail unlike most, working from obscurity as a carpenter by day and amateur comedian at night, to powerhouse host of a mega-market syndicated radio show. Simply put, Adam Carolla did not get to his current heights by sitting idly by and waiting for things to work out; he made it all happen. Dancing with the Stars is just another step on that path, breaking Adam into yet another showcase market.
Of course I’m biased; folks seem to either love Adam or hate him, and I obviously think he’s celebrity gold. He’s gold because he will bring a guy like me, who has never watched a minute of Dancing with the Stars, right up to the bar eagerly anticipating more. To all the people out there who are already discounting this decision I can only say, whether he lasts to the end or goes out early, Adam Carolla will entertain the hell out of us no matter what.

If you haven’t check out the trailer for Carolla’s new movie, The Hammer, please do yourself a favor. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, even among my own friends who aren’t fevered Carolla fans.
