KLOUT 101 - How to be truly influential.

Yes. YOU are one of the most influential people in social media and can start a trend with a single tweet. Wow, you actually have more KLOUT than Justin Bieber!

But guess what? With awesome power comes huge responsibility. Now that you have this amazeballs Klout score of 101, what are you going to do with it?

Duh. Get the t-shirt, put it on* and then go out into the real world and smile. That is how you will influence real people.

And hug them. Your life will be better.

*T-shirt isn't actually necessary. But it is fun and cool in a geeky kind of way.

From Couch Potato... to SUPER SPUD!

How did the couch potato...

...turn into a super spud?

Motivation. 

Stewart Rogers @TheRealSJR wants to raise cash and awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by getting off his lazy french-fried butt couch to run the 10K Obstacle Course Challenge. This is gonna grant wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.

I wanna help too....but I'm a draw-er not a runner. So I'm gonna draw one of YOU. Yeah!

It's a contest:

1. Go donate to Stewart's fundraiser. Give what you can. Even $1 gets you entered.
2. Leave your name and Twitter handle (or some other way to find you) in the comments below.
3. Hit the Tweet button below, and wish @TheRealSJR luck.

How will I know you've done all three? I have my eye on you (<-- see what I did there?). Contest closes Thursday November 11th, 2011 at 11:11 PM EST.

The Prize: On Sunday November 13th, one day after Stewart has survived kicked this obstacle course in the goolies, I'll draw the winner...and draw the winner. You'll get a t-shirt or mug with your "mug" on it. 

DONATE NOW.
Every little bit helps.

Find out who won!

Cats, Kittens, Google Plus and Muffins.

For cat lovers...and muffin lovers!

I see an amazing amount of images of cute cats and kittens in my Google+. They inspired this drawing. I used it on a t-shirt designed for one of the teen actors on the live-action quiz show I'm directing for Carpediem Film & TV. I'll prolly blog that shoot soon.

Why muffins JC? They're nutritious, delicious and you can tell a lot about a person by the way they eat one.

Cry BABY.

I was just Skyping with my son, eldest daughter and husband over in England and I started to blubber. I had to end the call and just bawl like a baby.

I miss them so much. But I did this drawing and it made me laugh!

Two and a half more weeks 'til we join them. Until then, I'll be using his t-shirt as a hankie.

Biggest cry baby moment?

The 5000th follower was @KimRosas Dirty Diaper Laundry! A round of applause for her and by the way, she had no clue what was going on with this contest.

Now for the caption contest. There were 55 entries by 44 different people! All the entries were hilarious, if you want a laugh anytime, just go check them out! It was so hard to choose, I decided on three in the end. I know, it's gonna cost me but you guys deserve it cuz you made me laugh out loud, in real life.

Here's the WINNERS: But first, my disclaimer thingie: Humor is subjective. You might not find these as funny as I do. All decisions are final.

Second runner up is Kim AKA @mentallyinked for her entry "Are you sure this isn't FB? Cuz I think I got poked in the @ss!" Congrats Kim!!

First runner up is Marcelo Alguerno AKA @Kingmar38 for his entry "It's NOT the TWITTER T! Don't come any closer copyright man!" Congrats dude!

And the top winner is mommylisa AKA @mommylisa! She really nailed it with this one:

Congratulations hon! And that's it. I'll get a hold of you all on Twitter and get your sizes.

Special mentions of appreciation go to:
@MeganWrites1 "I hope you aren't drawing any blanks...make yer move!"
@RhondaUSA  "Tweet 'em Cowboy!"
@collinsbat "Are you happy to see me or is that just a little prick I feel? "

That was fun. Shall we do it again some time?

5000 FOLLOWERS.

See that "t" shape in this picture? It's NOT a "t". It's a cactus. In no way can it be mistaken for the Twitter "t". Got that?

Okie dokie let's get this contest started. I'm celebrating coming up to 5000 followers on Twitter. Woohoo. So here's another caption contest like the 3000 FOLLOWERS one. That was great for building community and stuff....

I won't fall to my knees begging you to "follow" this blog, to "like" my Facebook page, repost it on your own Facebook page, retweet the bugger using the button at the bottom of this post, or urge everyone in this universe and all parallel universes to follow me on Twitter...no, I won't beg, because that would be slutty. and even though I've been known to make out with the whole band, I'm no slut. But I will get you drunk* if you share this link right now. Yeehaw! 

* If we ever meet in real life, and while quantities last.

There's three t-shirts up for grabs:
One t-shirt goes to the 5000th real Twitter follower. Bots can get stuffed.
TO WIN one of the other two t-shirts simply comment on this post as follows:

1. Fill in the speech bubble. Try to keep it clean and just make sure all the words will fit.
2. Leave me your Twitter @ or blog or email so I know who you are.
3. Give someone you love a hug. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

The winners will be the two funniest ones, and I get to decide that, cuz it's my contest.
Oh yeah, if you win, you can post the pic to your blog or Facebook page (if you have one) and link back to here. That would be cool. Last time we did this, the winners also posted pics of themselves wearing their tees, which was awesome.

Contest ends Monday, March 7th, midnight. I'll announce the winner on Wednesday evening. Open to anybody anywhere, though I can't guarantee shipping to some remote places.

PS. Thanks to the amazing Mom-O-Matic for the gunslinger suggestion!

Oh lookie, here's that tweet button I was just talkin' about....(hint - klunk). And don't forget the hug.

3000 Follower WINNERS.

If you didn't win a t-shirt here, there is a consolation prize. It's called "The Battle of the BABIES" and it's pretty epic if I do say so myself.

Time to announce the winner for the 3000 FOLLOWERS "speech bubble" contest! 
It weren't easy. I struggled....the entries were all great. It tickled my funny bone to see how many of you really pay attention to the stuff that goes on around here. Even if you missed the contest, it's worth reading it just for the entries, heheh.

So right! Two winners coming right up. But first, know this:

Humor is subjective. The only person who had to find these funny was me. The only person who gets to wear this shirt, is the winner. So you might not find these as funny as I do, and that's okay. Got that? Good! Great! Fabby! All decisions are final.

Top winner is Frazzledmomma AKA @ihave7monsters!

And a close second is @EllieM72!

And that's it! I'll get a hold of you both on Twitter and get your sizes.

Special mentions of appreciation go to:
@mentallyinked for "Animated is the new BLACK."
@barbieangell for "i'm not as drunk as you tweet i am."
And @brermatt for "Baby Palin 2012" and a ton of enthusiam.

That was fun. Shall we do it again some time?

3000 FOLLOWERS.

I'm coming up to 3000 followers on Twitter. Woohoo. I'm thinking I'd like to celebrate that and give a little something back to you guys in appreciation of all the nice things you say to me.

So here's a little contest / giveaway thingie. See this drawing? Picture it on a t-shirt.

I'll prolly make them on Zazzle or something so you get your choice of size etc.

"Hey JC! I'm kinda scared. How do I enter?

Fear not! I'm won't make you jump through hoops in my contest. Even though I could ask you to "follow" this blog, to "LIKE" my Facebook page, repost it on your own Facebook page, retweet the sucker to kingdom come using the button at the bottom of this post, and urge everyone you know to follow me on Twitter...I won't. Because that would make me a slut. Obviously, though, I totally appreciate retweets and shoutouts and will be your best friend forever if you share this link right now. Whee! 

There's two t-shirts up for grabs:
One t-shirt with the "t" goes to the 3000th real Twitter follower.
The other t-shirt goes to another follower who comments on this post as follows:

UPDATE: Due to the huge number of hilarious entries and general enthusiasm combined with the fact that you guys retweeted like a bunch of maniacs...I'll be selecting two winners.

1. You may suggest something to replace the "t" - a big banana, a rocket ship, a street lamp, or something funny that fits in that space. *
2. You must comment your idea of what should go into the speech bubble. Try to keep it clean and make sure all the words will fit in the bubble.
   
   *A crowd of people who look like your relatives will get you automatically disqualified!

The winner will be the funniest one, and I get to decide that, cuz it's my contest.
Oh yeah, if you win, you should post the image to your blog or Facebook page (if you have one) and link back to here. That would be cool.

Contest ends Friday, the 21st of January, midnight. I'll announce the winner on Monday evening. Open to anybody anywhere, though I can't guarantee shipping to some remote places.

A note about the image: Twitter's trademark people just got back to me about the "t" in the design. They say I can do a one - off contest as long as I don't sell any. 

Um. Remember that thing I said about being your best friend...?

Find out who won.
