Roles I'd Like To Give A Try

Some of us will watch TV shows and think "Man! I really wish I could give that role a try!" Or, we see an animated character and want to give our vocal spin to it. Or maybe we hear a radio DJ and think we want to be there, or maybe somewhere else.  Anyways, here is a brief list of roles I'd like to give a try.  Most of them in all reality will probably never happen in my lifetime, but hey, you never know.


  • Anchor Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update Segment: Some of you have heard me talk like a news anchor before, and most of the way I talk when I talk like that is inspired by the people of this segment.  I could spit those jokes out pretty well I think.
  • Announce Saturday Night Live's Opening Titles: This one may be a little touchy with some being Don Pardo just passed away a week ago, but I'd like to do this too.  It'd be a flashback to my days of announcing basketball starting line-ups, even though that really wasn't all that long ago.
  • Play Along as the Sidekick on Blue's Clues: This is probably the dumbest one of them all, but I'd like to do this.  I've always had a connection with children, and even though I'd be nowhere near them while filming this, it'd be interesting to see how I'd do as host. 
  • Provide Voice-Over Narration For Children's TV: Again, I really enjoy children, and this would be another route to take.
  • Voice Garfield: He's a lazy fat cat, I'm a fat human.  There's a bit of a connection there, but of course let's remember that one's not real. 
  • Voice Stewie From Family Guy: Oh man, the fun I'd have with this character! 
  • DJ The Morning Show On My Local Radio Station: This one's self-explanatory. 
Now it's your turn if you want to.  What have you always wanted to do that's a pipe dream?  Sound off in the comments! 

Before I go, here are some links to the recent videos I uploaded of my neighbor Gus.  The second one involves an expletive from someone off screen so please view with caution 


Lastly here's a link to a video my Tunisian exchange brother took last winter that's almost like a demo reel of my starting line-up announcing.  For those of you who didn't see it on Facebook or don't have a Facebook here you go.

    Go for these, all of them! Haha they're great. Never put limits on your dreams. You never know what'll happen. You'd be a fantastic news anchor.

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

Image
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
