I write for a living, 9-5 Mon-Fri. Last week I volunteered my weekend to co-write a short film for the 48 Hour film festival (can’t wait to show you all) here in Columbus. The writing (on set) consisted of constructing a skeletal outline of a story, writing place-holder dialogue (until 3 am), waking up at 7 the next morning, heading back to fill gaps then improv-ing lines during filming; in which we had 48 Hours to finish.
Add in the blog, and mentally/creatively I’m feeling like a day-railed porn star arriving home to an eager lover.
Instead of bringing you randomness, or obscure travel stories for this post, I’m kicking it Roam About old-school with some Summer Jams to play at maximum volume, dance your ass off, piss-off neighbors, terrify your children, kidnap stray children, eat ice cream, drink chai tea, do tai chi, adopt a Laos child, do taxes, murder, have bouncy sex, have bouncy sex WHILE doing taxes, or just jam to whilst perusing all the amazing WordPress Blogs out there.
Breezy, poppy, dancey, with (oddly) no Creedence or Doobie Brothers – let me know what you think.
PRESS PLAY!
GIVEAWAY WINNERS! THE LADIES SWEEEEEEP!
A special congrats to Mrs. C on being my 500th follower. I don’t know Mrs. C (yet), but she runs a great site called Step on Seven, a nod to her goal to touchdown in all seven continents.
I like.
Hopefully she likes sweet-ass coffee mugs, and actually reads my posts.
Take your pick or, if you dare, let me pick for you..http://www.etsy.com/shop/flycupsandfineassart
Same goes to my grand prize winner, Brigette, of Brigette’s Banter. Congrats, B!!
Don’t hate – she won fair and square through a very scientific method (pulled one of her votes from a baseball hat) – and is about to get a care package of awesome-sauce.
Don’t fret, I’ll do more Give-Aways – possibly for my 100th ‘Like’ on Facebook, or maybe two years from now when I get my 1,000 follower. Next week, I’ll be back with more adventuring tales, and the short film I co-wrote. -Mike
ROAM ABOUT MIKE 
I wrote an awesome reply. It disappeared! Love this. And yippee I won!!!!
You are hilarious and the music is great. Thank you!!! I accept and look forward to all that awesome-sauce and seeing your film. Did my other great response go into your anonymous comment thing??
It was good — paying homage to your comedic genius, talent and reflecting my gratitude. But I can’t remember it all now.
Also, I’m sure your lovely other half had something to do with your acquiring this level of awesome-ness so extend my congrats to her as well.
Thank you, Mike, I’m certain you won’t have to wait long for your 1000th follower. You deserve it, friend.

Not sure why, but yes, your comments are going to spam. Weird. I’ll keep this one up – didn’t have time to release the other one.
Marti picked your name from the hat, so, there you go – she IS awesome!
As always, thank you.
