Podcast #3 Birthday(slash)80′s!!!

…so today is my birthday.  The big 30.  I really don’t feel much different save for this intense feeling of calm and the strangest suspicion that my latent mutant ability will manifest itself at any moment today (heh).  Seriously though, Happy Birthday to me!  Podcast #3 is up and ready to go.  While it is hard to put all the best 80′s tracks on this podcast, I thought just skimming a few would be o.k.  The 80′s theme obviously needs to be revisited in multiple segments to completely illustrate the power that was (is) the 80′s.  For now, listen, download, and send me good birthday tidings .

Maya Angelou: On Character

This is brilliant:

“I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.”

My personal Ranking (out of 10) Rainy Days 9/10, Lost Luggage 5/10 (I fear losing my luggage), Tangled Christmas Tree Lights (6/10). Not too shabby I guess, but there is always room for improvement.
