Finished vids and the mean dad

href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Go0MWSo24rU/SFGZhAI3xuI/AAAAAAAAABM/zXIEz2KkPWg/s1600-h/me.JPG">Welp as promised the much anticipated Thursday update. For those of you who are just tuning in me llamo Brendan T Cherry and I am working on videos about my internship for the summer, of which as of right now the introduction video and first day video are finished. The intro is 1:30 seconds and has a taste of entertainment but mostly just a quick glimpse of what we are doing. The second video is about 3:45 and is a rip roaring roller coaster ride through the first day and a little more info. They are both pretty good and my partner and I will continuously make better vids. Its like when a boxer has a fight, before each fight the boxer will always say, "This is the best shape I have ever been in!" The same will hold true for our videos as each video will be the best video we have ever put out. Anyways they are both pretty amusing and will be promoted on Friday 6/13 (tomorrow) through experience email but you can also find them at http://www.experience.com/ on the internship guide channel.

The past two days have been only mildly eventful. Wednesday was the second day I was here so the first day excitement and what not was pretty turned down. For me things become routine pretty quickly and I usually do not get excited about things so much as I sort of take them as they come. Maybe you can tell by these blogs but maybe not, I tend to be all over the place and think the same way. I actually just found out something pretty interesting that I did not know before - the Jung Personality test. It's a very helpful tool and easily google-able. You answer 75 brief yes or no questions and then the test will mark you as a certain personality type. I found it to be extremely accurate for me and some what insightful. It can be helpful for those of you trying to figure out what your thing is; I mean don't expect a miracle but a finger in the right direction can go along way. For me when I was a kid I really wanted to be James Bond or Batman, but those got ruled out as real possibilities when I picked journalism as a major.

In other news, I have found Faneuil Hall to be a pretty colorful place. I went to get lunch at the local quiznos sub shop and I saw what to me was the strictest Dad I have ever seen. He had two little boys with him and I noticed him when he chose to order their subs for them against their will. Being little boys they fussed about their father's low carb choice for them. When the woman behind the desk said, "Is that all sir", he immediately went into a rant that went something like this, "You see! She knows enough to call me sir! What have I taught you guys, huh?! Smarten up or I will give you something to fuss about." Beyond the immediate offenses you could take to such a demeanor I have always found that "something to fuss about" line pretty funny. I mean I already have something to fuss about, thats why I am fussing, what kind of sense does it make to get me fussing about something else, in fact why don't you quit fussing about my fussing and we can all move on! Those kids did learn a tough lesson early though, that being the man or woman with the money makes the choices.

Having said that keep reading and watching the videos so we can help you help yourself find the right internship and show you about the process. Other then that I am finished for the day so Im'a rest these old bones.

Cheerio,
--------<3----------- interns@experience.com I hope to hear from ya'll soon.


Also, next Tuesday on the 17th of June will not only mark my second week of work here and thus a second video but also my 21st year on this planet! I suppose you don't need to know this but it feels good/right to tell you! Happy Fathers Day to Papa Cherry as well and to all fathers. PEACE!
