So What's in the Cards?

Also gotta thank Paco Montoya of E&P Designs for our logo check 'em out!

I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine from my Sallie Mae days... (Matt Scheurerman in case you're wondering.... Check out his site!) I think the tone my my Twitter posts lately in addition to my gloomy blog entry about what I wanted to be when I grow up sparked some thoughts about something to take me out of my doldrums...

We had a heck of a talk and he put some good ideas into my noggin so I'll start off by saying thank you Matt for being a sounding board!

So what did I decide to do?

Well my voice has always been something of an asset to me, I've been told of my "radio voice" by customers and co-workers alike... So....

Me and my brother Adam are going to start podcasting again... It'll be a little bit since I need to find a server and a new website. So ETA is probably going to be in a couple of months... We'll still have the same silliness but we're going to set up more professionally this time (hopefully).

We've already got a name thankfully... DeauxBrahs... Adam and I figured it's already in existence and the skateboarding thing didn't work so incorporate it into our media brand...

So, there it is... Another diversion for me and hopefully we can keep it up this time... (Although Adam's out of school now so I don't have to worry about him stressing over tests anymore... lol)

Life is Just a Fantasy...

Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory - MTV Shows - Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory - MTV Shows - Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory (Season 1) - MTV Shows

Duuude... A lil' commercial break... Check out Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory Season 2 on MTV (boy remember the days when they actually played videos???? But then again that was when the cable box had a row of buttons to select the 20 some odd channels... Damn I'm gettin' old...)

I've been out awhile but I've been workin' like a dog... literally... But that has all changed my friends I'm now a free agent again! Basically that means a brotha got fired... LOL But thankfully I've got a bright spot in that my mother is getting an interview for a job... In Louisiana.... So future broadcasts may come from the LA (and I don't mean the city of Angels... Which by the way when I mentioned that via my twitter I got some LA blog bot that started following me... LOL).

I strangely feel ecstatic that I lost my job... I went to work everyday and came home mean mugging... Which in turn took a toll on my health. I will miss my co-workers because the folks I met were some good people, and as the saying goes you should always surround yourself with good people. Unfortunately the good people at work don't translate to good customers on the phone, and it definitely DOESN'T translate to a company that fails in it's overall organization... That's all I'll say in regards to that but I was done and looking anyway...

So the new adventure... Perhaps if my mother gets the job in Louisiana I may be relocating to the dirty dirty souf... I also applied for some positions out there so hopefully I can roll and do work in another profession... Or another scenario is my mother looking for a spot for a restaurant where basically I end up as a one of the head chefs! I enjoy cooking and chefin' so I guess that I could take my talents in another direction!

Anyway enough of the babbling... Unless you forgot your Unisom, then keep reading...

Bottom line I'll probably be blogging more again and hopefully working on getting my company off the ground! Oh and do I see the return of the podcast??? Whoa there turbo... Let's just concentrate on trying to get some funny ass stuff on this blog again...

Later folks!

Deauxin' the Deaux

The logo you'll need to remember!

One of our concept shirts based on one of our boards

DeauxBrahs - Grungy

DeauxBrahs - Flarey

And the DeauxBrahs - Boldly Go (Wonder where that one came from...)

Wow... Another long layoff... For those who are some reason still following this blog (If you are, I'm assuming the beer and liquor hasn't run out yet...) I've been working horrible hours and I've been working on a side project that me and my brother came up with when I was out of a job.

We've started our own skateboard company! I'm sure many of you are wondering "WHAT?" That's why you haven't been writing??? LOL, no but it's been a labor of love getting shirt samples and board samples tested. It's something that I truly enjoy! Anyway, I would be remiss if I didn't mention a good friend who's been on this dream train with me and my brother. My homeboy Paco Montoya, who is one of the proprietors of E&P Designs made our logo for us, so a HUGE thank you goes out to him for helping us realize and finalize a dream!

So what's next you may ask for this DeauxBrahs brand? I dunno, I'm thinking we're just gonna try and get our buzz going here locally and keep selling the shirts and boards on the web and out the back of my trunk... LOL Who knows, maybe snowboards and other "action sports" apparel may follow, but whichever way it goes I'm ready to Deaux the Deaux!
