Is It Because I'm Ugly?

Or maybe it's not me that you think is ugly. Maybe it's my dog Neo.


I would hate to think that Neo had anything to do with it. I think he's quite handsome for a canine.

Is it because you think I'm a douche bag?


I mean, that's such a disgusting visual. I've never seen an actual douche bag, but I can only imagine that it wouldn't be a pleasant sight. ... << MORE >>

Transform Your Text-Message Device Into a Futuristic Audio Transmitter

I have some exciting news about a powerful new technology that feels like it came from the future. Here's the great part: It's already here!

In 2010, many humans have text-messaging devices that they use for communication purposes. An example of a text message communication is listed below:

Brandon: What are you thinking about right now?

Natalia: OMG! I was just thinking about you when you texted me!

Brandon (in text response): I know. ...

Denise From Taco Bell Was Playing Me

Today's not a good day.

In yesterday's blog, I shared with you my encounter with Denise from Taco Bell. I felt like she had given me an "inside deal" of a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito for just 89 cents.

If you didn't read yesterday's blog, click HERE. I poured out my heart in a love-letter. I thought we shared a special connection. However, it seems as though Denise was just playing me.


I think I'm gonna write a ... << MORE >>

Dear Denise From Taco Bell

Dear Denise From Taco Bell,

Hey.

I've been thinking a lot about you since yesterday. I told all my Facebook and Twitter friends about you.

I told them what you did. I hope you don't get mad.

When I first walked into Taco Bell, I thought we shared a special connection. You see, I'm a spiritually-advanced Alien-Human Hybrid, and I can sense the thoughts and feeling of other humans.

When our eyes first ... << MORE >>

Farewell Alabama

Jeremiah 6:16 was a part of the message from Sunday's service at Church of the Highlands. It reads, "This is what the LORD says: Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."

As soon as I read that on our "notes page," I knew I'd be incorporating it into my next blog post.

I'm currently standing at that crossroads.

Pre-order My Books & 100% of the Profits Will Go to Haiti

As many of you know, on November 13th, 2009, I posted Chapter 54 of one of my new books — Your Truth Will Set You Free — on my website. Each of my new books contain 66 chapters. As I was writing each book, I followed the guidance of the Holy Spirit in regards to which chapters I wanted to post on my website — so readers could sample the book for free.

In Chapter 54 of Your Truth Will Set You Free, I wrote about being stalked by deer, and explained my vision ... << MORE >>

Never Trust A Corporation

After watching the drama unfold in the NBC late-night situation, I'm reminded of uncomfortable personal experiences with broadcast companies not following through on their promises.

For the record, I'm on Team Conan. Conan O'Brien waited patiently in the background for five years, with the understanding that he would inherit The Tonight Show when Jay Leno retired. Jay Leno, who's proving himself to me more and more of a diva, changed his mind about retiring. That's when NBC decided to create an earlier time slot for Jay, thinking that his popularity would produce ratings ... << MORE >>

Let It Go

It's a brand new year; that means everyone is pumped up about their new goals. This is the year I finally _____!

As you move forward with the "new you," it's important to let go of the "old you."  I cover this concept in Chapter 14 of Your Truth Will Set You Free. That chapter is called "Who Goes Where," and invites the reader to create a "Past" and "Present" box. You'll learn more when you read the book.

Speaking of books, Follow The White Rabbit is now available ... << MORE >>

My Self Talks to Myself

Hey there. It's currently 1:42 am. I don't think I've ever written a blog at this time before. Most of my blog entries take place in the morning, not long after I wake up.

I've been laying in my living room floor in front of the fireplace for the past few hours. Ever since I did my 30-day experiment without Internet, television, and radio — I feel sudden impulses to just shut down all the noise.

I had one of those impulses tonight.

I ... << MORE >>

Santa Claus Is Bad For Your Kids

I've been meaning to write this article for a week now, but I've been so bogged down with book stuff. I finished designing the cover for book two, now I'm just waiting on my proof copy to arrive.

Yesterday, I started the revised edition of my first book. That's been a neat experience; it's like I'm breathing new life back into my very sick and ugly baby. I'd like to finish that this weekend. I've been in such a robotic zone lately; it's like I can't stop working.

My New Year's Eve Sobriety Challenge

On September 15th, I started a 30-day fast of Internet, television, radio, meat, and alcohol. At the end of the fast, I noticed that I didn't have the urge to drink alcohol.

So I started another 30-day challenge. This too, included the elimination of alcohol. I started going out on the weekends; I just didn't drink any alcohol. It was an invigorating experience!  It was a completely new experience. I soon discovered how economically intelligent (cheap) it was!

It was also an empowering experience. You're able to go ... << MORE >>

When Women Attack Men

I just posted the following on my Facebook wall:

Top of the morning, Facebook Fam!  Please share your thoughts on the Tiger Woods situation:  What do YOU think happened?  Should his wife be charged?  Should he lose endorsement deals?

Here's what has transpired so far:

Lindsey:  Y should "we" care? Its none of " our" business...it all sounds like a personal problem to me to which we should not truly have an opinion! He is human just as we are..we don't ... << MORE >>

My Thanksgiving Letter to Charlie Brown

Dear Charlie Brown,

Hey old pal.  I know you're not real and all, but when you're schizophrenic like I am, you're used to communicating with people (and voices) that aren't real.

I remember watching your Thanksgiving special, Charlie Brown.  I can't believe that no-good Lucy had the lack of decency to pull that football away on a national holiday.  Now that I think about it, she shows all the warning signs of becoming a PPD.

How sneaky.

Pathological Pennzoil Divas (PPDs)

I've always been the guy who wanted the "hottest girl in the room."  Having a "trophy girlfriend" aligned with my Leo personality.  As the "king of the jungle," it was always important to
have the girl that all the other guys wanted.



Unfortunately, when you have the girl that all the other guys want, you have to deal with the liabilities that come from being the center of attention.



Some of these liabilities include:



1.)  Dealing with the disrespectful words and actions from drunk ... << MORE >>

2012

Do you wanna know the final word spoken in the movie 2012?  It was a one word response.  A one word sentence.  One word that represented the start of the new world.






The word was:  NICE.



To read my review of the movie 2012, which has become Chapter 54 in my new book, simply click HERE.

Will You Be Ready WTSHTF?

Hey gang.  How are you?

LOL.  If you don't know why the question "How are you?" is funny, then you haven't been keeping up with the blog as diligently as you should be.

Please accept this virtual *pop on the hand* for your unacceptable behavior.

For those of you who are diligent with your blog readership, I'd like to say thank you.  I'll bet many of you were wondering if I've heard anything from 103.7 The Q, in regards to the sweet love-letter I wrote them.

The answer is no.  But these things can ...<< MORE >>

When Success Is Failure or Failure Is Success

I recently downloaded 136 free episodes from Marianne Williamson's podcast.  Each one has a "thought for the day," along with about five minutes of audio, where she clarifies the thought.

I listened to the first few episodes on Saturday, as I was walking Neo.  As I was trying to figure out what I wanted to blog about today, I hit play on the next episode, and today's episode was called "Living Successfully."

Marianne sites content from A Course in Miracles that says:  "Some of the things you thought was failure was actually success.  And ...<< MORE >>

Does 103.7 The Q Ever Think About Me?

Dear 103.7 the Q,

Hey old friend.  How have you been?  It's me, your old night show host, Nick Nice.  I don't go by Nick Nice anymore, so if you could call me by my real name (Brandon), that'd be awesome.

I was riding around today, and tuned in to you.  I really like that new Lil' Wayne and Nelly Furtado (I think) song you played.  Weezy sure has blown up since we last hung out, huh?

A little while later, you played Hinder's "Lips of an Angel."  You know, the song that talks about hearing from ...<< MORE >>

What Would Other People Change About You?

While attending church service recently, Psalm 26:2 was referenced.  David, crying out to God said: "Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind."

In essence, David was asking God to show him any areas that needed improvement.  Our pastor encouraged us to do the same in our own lives.

I thought about it.  I really wanted to, but I started thinking You've put so much energy into "perfecting" every area of your life, it would be hard to find anything that isn't "pleasing to God."  You're a person of integrity; you try your ...<< MORE >>
