I’m sorry it took so long to add another post up here, but I’ve been working really hard and wanted to finish a few things before I blew any more hot air.
In this post, you’ll get to see a lot of new things:
-Photo of the Day
-Twitter
-Appearances
-What’s New
-Jokes
Photo of the Day
This is probably the most obvious. I have a photo on my main site now. In fact, I’ll let you in on a little secret. It isn’t really a Photo of the Day. I have my balloon photos on rotation, showing all kinds of balloon sculpture. So, if you want to see more twisting, click on the refresh button or just visit another page. Every time it loads, you can see a new photo. (Right now, there are 45 photos on rotation and I’m planning on adding another 20 within the next couple of days.)
Twitter
The most exciting part for me is the new Twitter Stream on my site. I’ve linked my home page to my Twitter account so that you can actually see any live updates as soon as I type them into Twitter. So, if you’re not a follower on Twitter already, find YourBalloonMan or Jonathan Fudge and add me to your list. I’d love to share some of my interesting and unique stories with you. And, to be honest, writing in Twitter is a lot easier than updating a full post on here.
What’s New
Well, this morning, I woke up and jumped out of bed ready to get started on my day. Unfortunately, I completely forgot about stubbing my toe yesterday and I felt the immediate shock of pain running up my leg and into my gut. A stubbed toe can be a real issue when you’ve got to perform on your feet.
Last night I did all right, but tonight I’m going to do my best to avoid the crazy foot movements I do while sharing my “list” of all the crazy balloon shapes I make and offer for the children.
Apearances
As every week, this month I’m going to continue to be at:
Cody’s Roadhouse off Bearss and Bruce B. Downs from 6-8 pm every Monday and Tuesday night. Remember: Kids eat free on these nights! So, be sure to bring your entire family!
Los Vallartas off 54 and Collier Parkway in thy Kmart shopping plaza on Saturdays from 5:30-8:30. If you go, be sure to try the Mocajette if you haven’t already. (I can’t promise I spelled that correctly, but ask about it. It’s great!)
At this point, I may have someone covering for me at Los Vallartas at the end of the month. I may or may not be in Orlando competing in the 17th Annual Southern Chess Tournament. I’ve been studying chess for a while now and I have started teaching in schools. So, I will be going in order to win a prize and build credibility for our training system. I’ll try and leave an update either on this post or in my twitter feed so that you can see where I’m going to be.
I also will be working a number of private and local events. Please call for availability. If you have an event on one of the days I’m scheduled to work a restaurant, please feel free to call me anyway. I have other artists that can sometimes fill in for me at the restaurants.
Jokes
Okay, this isn’t a list of the best jokes in the world, but I thought they were great and wanted to share a few. I’m hoping I can continue to add jokes to my column every month as well. So, we’ll see how that goes.
What do you call a worm in an apple?
-A Teachers Pet.
What did the plant do in math class?
-It grew square roots!
Why did the Oreo go to the dentist?
-Because he lost his filling!
Riddle: Where can you find an ocean with no water?
-On a map!
In addition to the Jokes and my twitter feed, I’m also working on adding sections where I’m constantly sharing links to places to save money, print coupons, view birthday party ideas, and to find great recipes.
As always, I appreciate your comments. If you have any good jokes to share, or great links for ideas on what sites to link to, please let me know. I’d love to have your input.
Thanks everyone! And I look forward to sharing again with you next month!
Your Balloon Man,
Mr. Fudge
