It's kinda funny that in one entry
I upload more than 100 entries of video in 2000
combined in terms of "length". What a difference a
decade makes.
So "FOUR" has gotten a bit of
press, and I thought I'd share it with ya. This was
all over a week ago, but this interview was a bitch to
edit - so I'm a bit delayed. First up:
Squarefour.org...
I actually mention this in
the upcoming interview. This was the site that
felt I trivialized the sport, and they were more about
community building. (sigh). In a million years it
never would've occured to me that die-hard foursquare
fans wouldn't LOVE this show. I have no
idea why they aren't pimping the ever-lovin' hell out
of every episode. I can only imagine to some people
they kinda like it "niche". Like they have something
special, that would lose something if it were
"sold-out"... but again, we're talking about a fucking
playground game. It's baffling to me they won't
support this. He put the initial episode up last
month, but isn't going to spotlight the series past
that one
blog post. It's too bad,
I really think those in the community would love
it. I am happy he wrote that one blog, but again
- exhausting to get resistance from the exact people
you made it for.
A friend on Facebook, Venus,
mentioned Dave Monsterburg for the pimpin' the show,
and he posted it on what has to be the most constantly
updated site
I've ever seen. This is, 12
days ago... and it's now on page 33. It's like TMZ on
speed.
Though it's cool he pimped it...
he killed any chance of people hitting the foursquare
link, because he put my demo up first. (sigh) Nice of
him all around, but the last thing FOUR is
about... is me. Not sure if you've noticed in the
first few episodes, but I'm barely in it. I'm trying
to find the best stories within it... and honestly,
I'm not one of 'em. Gets a bit more interesting later
on though... which brings us to the interview... had
to break it up into 3 sections:
Part two...
Funny stuff about the stalker...
that would've been funny as shit: "And now... here's
Chuck!" Heh. Oh and, guess who impersonated me on
Wikipedia and asked to get the page back up for
deletion? (sigh) I swear to Shizzle Wikipedia is
run by buffoons. Though I have to hand it to the
stalker, I would never assumed that tactic would work.
I mean look at this:
Could you possibly relist my
page for further discussion, I would love to not go
through the last week again, in fear of losing it.

Since you requested it,
done. I hope that this discussion will prove a
little less... unusual than the previous one.

He changed my username to a
lowercase "k" - LMAO. I know I shouldn't give him
more attention, but at this point - it's just kinda
funny. I've signed in under the real name, explained
the situation - and it should be dealt with fairly
quickly. However, if it gets taken down now? You have
to throw your hands up. Wikipedia's reputation will
certainly be deserved if you can blatantly impersonate
people and get rewarded for it. Shit, sorry, the last
part of the interview - which anyone listening live
missed...
Fun times. The crew was great, and
the two guys want desperately to come play FOUR at my
pad. The woman, Amy Ellen actually did go to Otterbein
with me - though I really don't remember too much
about her other than her last name vaguely rang a
bell. That's what happens when you're a commuting
student with a fiancee. My College days were all
about... WTVN, and I had zero college life as I was so
busy with selling my first 2nd tape, making my first
CD and obviously my talk show on WTVN. Was great that
she asked me to be on the show though. Even if no one
ever hears it, I really like having little interviews
scattered throughout The Journey. Just like the WTVN
one from last year - it's a nice little moment... seen
through someone else's eyes.
As far as FOUR is concerned
though... again, I really need a legitimately big site
to cover that first video. I'm getting subscribers
here and there... so it's working slowly but surely -
but a huge 10,000 hit infusion to that first video
should get some momentum rolling. I'm just happy those
that are following it are enjoying it, and I'm glad
we're finally getting to the meat of the show once the
first two people are eliminated tomorrow. It really
does progressively get more and more
interesting.

PS - everything with Daniel got
pushed until May as he's on the America's Got Talent
auditions in NY/Chicago. I'll update all the career
irons in the fire then. Alas, most of them have
vanished - like half of this fuggin'
year...
