I was invited to Pioneer Park in Salt Lake City, Utah May 20th 2010 by my good friend Scott to take part in covering a great event called “Subway Day” by the Rescue Mission put on by Utah Subway restaurant owners and franchisees for the Rescue Mission of Salt Lake.

Utah Subways are always working with the community here in Salt Lake City, and this is the second time they worked with the Rescue Mission. This year more of the homeless community turned out than last year, and yesterday they were planning on 600 showing up but over 800 of the Utah homeless community showed up for the free meal provided by Subway where they received a 6″ sandwich, chips, fruit, a beverage and cookies for desert.

The Rescue Mission of Salt Lake is an amazing organization for the community, they house both men and women in separate facilities. They help to get the homeless off the streets, provide them a safe place to stay, and help to train these individuals to get them back into the local workforce and get their life back in order.

For me, it was awesome to be at the event and see what Subway and the Rescue Mission does for the community.

Not only did Subway provide the meals for the 800 individuals, but they also donated a check to the Rescue Mission of Salt Lake City for the amount of $10,000.

Way to go Subway for all you do and even more kudos goes to the Rescue Mission of Salt Lake City… You are all really good people!

Until next time,

A couple days ago, my friend Josh S. Peters (@JoshSPeters on Twitter) posted a entry on his blog called “So this is what you people think of me” and at the end of his post, he assigned us all homework and said he wanted to see my Wordle! So of course I said yes, and am now showing off my Wordle off for all to see!

Seriously though, this is a representation of what people on Twitter think of me based upon the lists I have been added to (at the moment of creation I am on 86 lists on Twitter).

I think this is an AWESOME graphic, and represents me pretty dang well… what do you think?

To all who have taken the time to add me to one of your Twitter lists… I thank you. I am honored to be there.

Want to show me your Wordle? If so, head on over to Wordle and create one of your own. Once you have created it, share here on my blog, or post the image to Twitter and use the hashtag #WordleShare.

For a faster way to get your lists ready for Wordle, be sure to see Rick’s awesome walkthrough on Joshes blog post.

So what do you say? Will you let me, and the rest of the world see your Wordle? Come on, I showed you mine. #SoundsDirty

Until next time…

So, a couple of days ago I was catching up with some of Chris Brogan’s posts and I ran across a video on this entry.

The video is called “The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun”.

On his site he left the message short and sweet and let the video do the talking. And to you I do the same… take 5 minutes and watch it.

Anyway, I liked this video so much, I figured I would share it here as well, just in case you are not following Chris Brogan! =) (Like who isn’t?)

So let me ask you… are you having fun? Or do you take life to seriously? In the moment of writing this post I think I am on the taking life too seriously side. After watching this video however, it is nice to remind myself to have some fun along the way and go for it!

Life is too short! So, let’s see where life takes me now.

In case you could not see the video in the post… you can click here to see it on YouTube.

Until next time…
