Content Free July?

Sorry about the lack of podcasts recently...or anything really.  That is unless you've frequented the Freakin' Awesome Network where I've been continuing my Wrestling With Extra Sleaze column.  But other than that, I haven't done a damn thing, and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better for the rest of this month here at Sarcasmatron.  Last week, I didn't feel like doing much at all.  No podcasts, no stand-up comedy, no nothing.  And now it seems like what free time I have to write or do whatever (namely the weekends) is being taken up by other things.  For instance, this weekend, I'm not even doing anything for the July 4th holiday. However, I will be house/dogsitting for friends and I don't really feel comfortable writing on other people's equipment.  Hell, I barely get motivated to do it on my own equipment.  Then next weekend, not only will it be my birthday but I'll also be attending the Glass City Con here in Toledo, which I may be covering for FAN as well.  Then the weekend after that, I'll be heading to Cleveland with a few members of the V1kM crew as they'll be filming scenes for The Avengers there.  They're actually having a casting call too so we may end up in the movie, even if it just as random extras for a crowd scene.  Still, either way it should be fun.  But after that, things should be settled down and hopefully I'll have some podcasts ready to go at least.  That's it for now, gotta go watch a dog.

A Podcast That Isn't Mine But I'm On It So There

Sorry about the lack of podcasts lately.  Usually the only chance I have to record are weekends and though I could have recorded one, I was having a depression pity-party and didn't feel like doing much of anything.  And this weekend I probably won't have a chance to record a podcast since I will be away visiting family at home.  But (un)luckily for you, you won't remain podcast-less tonight as I made a guest appearance on the Steve Wherry Comedy Podcast, which was recorded last night.

Here ya go, bastids.

So...that's it.  I'm lazy.

Sarcasmatron Audio Time Go #3 - Skanxxx

Podcastamania is runnin' wild!  Whatchu gonna do?!?  Umm...how about listen to them, maybe?  Just a suggestion.  Anyway, it's been a little crazy with the podcasts lately.  Not only have I recorded two within a week but I also made a guest appearance on another one.  First of all, here's the topics of discussion for Episizzode Number Three:

Sarcasmatron Audio Time Go! Episode #2 - Almighty Thorgasmatron

'Sup?  Episode #2 of the podcast all up in the hizzy...or something.  I still sound like crap, but now I sound even worse because I recorded this while not feeling well.  I tried to cut this down a bit more to prevent rambling but that didn't quite work.  I still rambled and it's only maybe like 5 minutes shorter.  I talk about a lot less this time.  My topics this time have been reduced to:

Sarcasmatron Audio Time Go Episode #1 - The Macho Man Appreciation Station

Well, it took a little while but here it is: my first podcast.  I probably could have had this up a few days ago but I procrastinated a bit.  All I really had to do was edit in some music and upload it, a process that should only take about a few hours, but I stretched it out over the course of a few days.  Yeah, I'm lazy.  As you'll figure out pretty quickly, I've never really done this on my own before so PLEASE leave some sort of feedback as to how I can make this better.  I realize it's kinda all over the place and I do stumble on my words quite a bit so I need to know what I can do to not suck.  Anyway, the topics for my first episode:

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes.

It's been about a year and a half (give or take a few months) since I've started this blog.  And though I haven't exactly tried my hardest (especially late), I've still been kinda disappointed in my efforts of becoming a T-List semi-star Internet critics.  I mean, I figured I'd at least be invited to one of The Cinema Snob's coke parties or an orgy at TGWTG's headquarters.  Just kidding.  But seriously, I started this blog to get noticed and to have a voice.  I know there's an audience out there that thinks this sort of inane rambling about nerdy shit is funny, but I still haven't found it.  I've gotten a decent amount of hits but as far as I know, they're all from people I tell to read my stuff, which I don't like doing.  Considering a good 90% of the feedback I've gotten from people have either come from a friend who is currently in Basic Training and a friend who is traveling across the UK, it's hard to tell if I'm doing anything right, wrong or even remotely interesting and readable.  So I've been thinking a bit about what to do to help rejuvenate my interest in writing my own damn blog and getting my name out in the world.  As a great man once said "Enough is enough, and it's time for a change."  And if you'll read on, it looks like I have plenty.

The Wrestlemania Podcast Experiment Plus Some Wrestling News

As I mentioned before, Wrestlemania 27 was two weeks ago and I decided, with a bunch of the V1kM crew, that we would watch it and riff on it in podcast-form.  This was nothing more than a hair-brained experiment, mostly because I don't really know if there's an audience that would want to listen to a bunch of nerds (some well-versed in wrestling, some not so much) talk about a 4-hour show they're watching that the people listening to can't even see.  But hey, I guess it was worth a shot.  To make it easier on you, the listener, I broke up the almost 4 hour recording into 5 easier-to-digest chunks, ranging from about 30-50 minutes each.  But the recording itself isn't perfect.  Far from it, actually.  For starters, our buddy Will had the recording equipment but his tire unfortunately blew out on the way, so he didn't really make it until an hour and a half in.  Luckily, he brought our stand-up comedian friend Jake with him, plus when Wrestlemania ended, there was a replay afterward so we just watched what they missed out on.  So the podcast as a whole is kinda out of order.  And as par for the course when it comes to V1kM podcasts, we get severely off track most of the time.  In all honestly, Wrestlemania was just OK.  I'd consider myself the biggest professional wrestling fan out of the group and I repeatedly lost interest throughout the show.
