So, Thursday night at around 9PM, I dropped three movies into the outgoing mail slot where I live. Friday afternoon, after getting back home from a hard day out, I dropped another into the outgoing mail.
A couple of hours later, I got notifications from Netflix that four movies had been received. I was a little confused, because that’s way quicker than usual to get all the way to Duluth, GA…
“Ok, they must’ve setup a pre-emptive return deal, and scanned the movies at the post office, like Blockbuster tried to do,” I thought.
Imagine my surprise when I opened the mail box today and found four movies! As an entrepreneur, my first though was they must have gotten advice from a top experiential marketing agency. This was awesome!
After ripping the outer label off, I was even more surprised to find that Knoxville now has its own distribution center!
That’s a really unexpected move, and a nice “Happy New Year” gift. So, if you’re in the Knoxville area and didn’t sign up because of the time it took to send movies back and forth, that’s a non-issue now. 🙂
All blonde jokes aside, and, speaking of cell phones …

In case you don’t know French … “Think before you commit. Nomad — The mobile without contracts.”
And, last but not least … Two guys in the locker room …
Not sex, you say? How often do you see someone get totally f#$*ed by a cell phone?! Well, as opposed to getting f#$*ed by the carrier — that happens all the time…
“Dude, you’re like Forrest Gump,” someone told me a few years ago. “You should write a book!”
It’s funny… For all my devil-may-care, seat-of-my-pants adventures — all the while incessantly telling people to “Quit planning and do it” — writing it all down was the one thing I never did. I’ve always toyed with the idea, and even written a few chapters here and there, but never decided to go all out and do it.
Unfortunately, the plan is also to close up shop at Mushy’s Moochings, which, in a word, blows. I love that blog, as it reminds me of why I decided to move back to East Tennessee — Mushy presents his various adventures and misadventures, and still manages to come off as “down to earth,” “good people.” The best thing, of course, is that when you know him, you find that he actually is that person, and someone I’m proud to call a friend.
