A semi-bright Idea...

As the title claims, I had this semi-bright idea, to be honest, this whole thing could end a week from now, maybe less.

Here is my idea: Buy a Video camera, take it with you everywhere, and post videos about your life.

This idea came from about a week ago, I said to my dad, "hey, how many times do you think you have told me a story about something that happened in your life, and you can't quite remember exactly what happened, so you just stretched the truth a little? Wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to go back and look on the internet at how it actually happened?"

Kinda sounds like I was being a dick right? I know, but my intention, this was not it. Just think of how many times you are in a situation, and the actual event in question was perceived many different ways. How would you look at that day, if you could watch it again and again as you get older.

Sure, everyone takes "home movies" and what not, but those are on special days like birthdays or graduating from kindergarten. Granted, the actual possibility of making a video to every mundane thing I do in my life, is stupid, thus, I only intend on taping stuff that matters, or things that are worth remembering.

So, Birthdays and...well, I'm 23, so unless I failed kindergarten and don't know it, we're past that....Not.

For instance, in a few days, I am heading to Los Angeles (California) to work the X-Games for ANC Sports. I will be setting up rotational signage for advertising, similar to the ones that I help run and maintain at PNC Park for Pittsburgh Pirate games. This would be something worth recording, me doing random shit in L.A.

I was going to originally name this space, "weldy's world" because people tend to call me that alot, weldy. I changed my mind when I was trying to come up with a better name, and then it hit me.

"Orange Cupcakes"

Why OC you ask? Well I thought back to the TV show "Dead Like Me" I have been watching online with my girlfriend, and there was one particular episode that struck me in a way that made me think back to my childhood.

Here's the short of it, in the episode, the main charachter "Georgia" remembers the time when she was little and going to get breakfast on Sunday mornings, and each time they would get a Coke to drink. Soon after, she grew older and didn't want to get up on Sunday mornings with her dad.



You might be asking yourself right now, what does this have to do with you? I'm glad you asked. When I was a kid, whenever my Dad and I would go to the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the summer to go cut the grass at the house he built over there, we would stop at a 7-Eleven about a mile away from where I grew up, and I would always get Hostess Orange Cupcakes, and sometimes a Strawberry Milk. Thus, I thought "Orange Cupcakes would be a good start to this blog, about my life.
