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………..

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  🙂

What a GREAT Day!

Today was an awesome day.

  • Relatively pain-free run.   See Lane 8 for details on the story.
  • Great Homily at Church
  • Great connections with special people at Church
  • Swimming, Lunch & Nap with my son this afternoon
  • Cub Scout Awards Banquet & our son received his Wolf Cub Badge
  • My wife totally added a woman’s touch to the Banquet decorations/logistics
  • My son & I spoke with my Mom about the awards he received

Not all days have so many obvious blessings that can be recounted.  However, today was that kind of day.

They don’t come as often as any of us would like.

And yet, I’ll take them whenever they come, even if they’re few and far between.  Signing off at 9PM.  Carpe PM, jeff noel  🙂
