A Little Taste

This song may have made an appearance in my video- simply because it's upbeat, gives out energetic, fun vibes and makes me dance...every time I listen!!! Lisztomania by Pheonix. (How's that for a song name?)

The epic ending is definitely what makes the entire song... so much emotion!

Enjoy

Wine Job Update

There is about 24 hours left in the voting process for Murphy-Goode's future "Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent!"

After anxiously waiting for my video to post, it is finally up and the vote count is increasing! The direct link to my video is http://www.areallygoodejob.com/video-view.aspx?vid=b-pdrNQa-Q0. Thanks to all those who have voted and passed on the word. Please keep up the good work!!!

I must say, after my initial video was rejected because of music copyright regulations, I was a little bummed. I worked really hard to write, direct, edit, and put some really great music on the video. That was not the e-mail response I was expecting and I definitely did not want to delay my application submission any longer. The "Murphy-Goode Screening Team" was super-generous to grant me an opportunity to resubmit. Thank you Screening Team!!! (You're way more understanding than the "Island Reef Job" desicision executives that rejected my submission because their server failed to handle the intense uploading activity.)

Thankfully, after spending a couple more hours working on the new sound bits, I am very pleased. I even think it blows the first take out-of-the-water. "Screening Team," I respect that you have rules to follow, thanks for the second chance, and most importantly thanks for unknowingly making my video better!

Cheers!

Hey, Murphy-Goode, We'll Make a Great Team!

Murphy-Goode Winery in Healdsburg, California (Sonoma County) is currently searching for a social media whiz to use Web 2.0 to bring some attention to their award-winning winery. The lucky winner of the brilliant video essay contest Murphy-Goode is holding will become the "Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent." This creative, web-savvy individual will get handsomely rewarded for their hard work learning about winemaking, indulging in samples, and more specifically using tools like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and blogs to stir up attention for Murphy-Goode.

The excellent compensation of $60,000, per 6 month contract, and free housing in what I would like to call a "baller" house in Healdsburg, California (click here to see map) not only drew me in to the idea, but the fact that it was a contest wherein I could express my creativity played a huge factor. Contests are great; my contest enthusiasm could be considered a strange fascination. There was no doubt about it that I would enter this one. Yes, I can use my creativity to make a video, but I am the right person for the job???

Definitely!!
