You Tube versus Hulu?

You Tube just announced it’s bid to remain the Internet’s leading video source.

But they better move quickly, because being number one doesn’t mean you get to stay number one.

Seems that Hulu has made full-length video streaming free and expansive.

Where the heck was You Tube while Hulu was figuring this out?

I see things like this in the news and, because the funny way my brain works, immediately wonder , “So what does this me to me”?

The answer?

Everything.

Getting to the top spot in business, in life, in school, in athletics, etc, is one thing.  Staying there is a completely different effort.

When you’re the underdog, your competition dismisses you.  When you’re the champion, everybody want s to knock you off your throne.

Ya with me?  Hope so.  Make today a GREAT day to get there or stay there, because if you don’t, somebody else will.

Adam Lambert American Idol

Good Wednesday morning.  After last night’s competition, I believe Adam Lambert will be the next American Idol.

Kris Allen came out exceptionally well in the first round.  Hence my post last night.

Many, myself included,  have thought all along that Adam Lambert would be crowned the next American Idol.

Rather than roll over and accept defeat, Kris Allen performed his best song of the entire season, if you ask me.

However, Adam’s consistency throughout the entire competition has been remarkable. 

Kris Allen’s growth, and confidence, has been equally remarkable – which is why he was on the show last night.

Good day everyone and drum roll please………..

Dude, We Have Us a Competition

My son and I just got home from Gold’s Gym, and it 8:20PM.  I picked him up after school and we went to the Gym.

He’s eight, so he’s not working out, he plays with other children in Gold’s Kiddie Gym.

Anyway, we walk in the door at 8:11PM and Adam Lambert has just started singing.   Awesome performance.

Kris Allen followed him, and as my wife, son and I watched him perform, I couldn’t help but be blown away.

Blown away because he sang to win.

All season long, it’s been Adam this and Adam that.  And I agreed with it all.

But tonight, I gotta tell you, the underdog has come out punching.

Rock on.  Dinner’s ready.  Later dude!

Orlando Magic Were Magical

The Orlando Magic basketball team was magical last night, in Boston.

They played game seven against the defending NBA Champions, the Boston Celtics, in Boston.  A huge disadvantage for the Magic.

I have to admit that I no longer watch professional sports. 

However, I do love watching the Olympics, as well as championship games in any sport.  It’s when it’s all on the line that I get interested.

Anyway, here’s the this morning – Can You Believe It – a followup to last night’s post.

Make it a great Monday, a great week and a great May.  Because if you don’t, who will?  If not now, when?  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Defending NBA Champs?

Defending NBA Champs, the Boston Celtics are currently behind the Orlando Magic by 19 points. 

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I wonder what the headline will read.

Then again, I may just stay up for a little while longer so I won’t have to wait.

Being from Orlando, and working for Disney World, it’s only natural that I’m a MAGIC fan!

Either the Magic will pull off an upset and advance to the semi finals, or the Celtics will pull off a major comeback and continue their bid to defend their NBA Championship.

Either way, the Celtics need some real Magic.  Good night.  jeff  🙂
