Ostriches, unicorns and awesome.

“If a rabid unicorn burst through the office door today
and tore my face off I wouldn’t be surprised. What a week.”

Sure – it might be a random quote taken out of context. Sure – it doesn’t really apply to the week that I’ve had. Sure – it may not be relevant to this post in any way shape or form. But it’s pretty awesome, no?

Well, my friends, I’m about to awesome your face off like the end of that Indiana Jones movie where the bad guy’s face melted off except my mystical force will be The Awesome instead of God’s Fury Fist of Rage. Otherwise it’s pretty much the same. ‘Cept maybe a little lower budget. Okay, it’ll look a little like Twilight. Without the jailbait.

What was I saying?

Basically I’m writing to tell you that I’ve been asked to star in weekly video podcasts with Dooce and Seth Godin.

Except when I say Dooce, I mean Amy. And when I say Seth Godin, I mean Joel. And when I say weekly, I mean infrequently but yet still on a regular basis although maybe more along the lines of a basis that’s mostly regular but could still stand to increase its fiber intake. I’d suggest flax.

You get the idea.

Every to-be-announced time period – we’re noncommittal, it depends on how much worship we get – the three of us will grab a bottle, hunker down and discuss the sad hilarity of what it’s like to be a 20-something young professional trying to get ahead. Although we’ll do so in a way that likely impedes our way of getting ahead and replaces it with homelessness and social ostracization.

I can’t believe I spelled that word right on the first try even if I had to picture an Ostrich to do it.

High five Olof the Ostrich!

So. It’ll be inappropriate, hilarious, and largely intoxicated. If you think that Amy coined the unicorn quote up at the top when she was sober, just THINK what it’ll be like when she’s roofied had half a glass of wine. Besides, the extent to which Joel and I are able to ridicule our own lives has not yet been caught on video that we can show in a public forum.

But we need your help. One segment of our just-far-enough-apart-that-you-forget-it’s-coming-every-time video podcast will be us offering our advice on questions and scenarios submitted by YOU. That’s right, YOU right there with your hand in the bag of Doritos!

We’re filming the first podcast this weekend so you need to start submitting anything you’d like our advice on. I assume I don’t need to remind you how mind-blowing it was the LAST time I offered advice? You can leave your questions in the comment section or you can email them in. Fashion, love life, career, legal troubles – believe me, we’ll solve all your problems.

Or make them worse.

But at least you’ll be laughing.

Or maybe you won’t.

Um. K.

Bye.
