I finally wrote a new episode of krumbinesBRAIN.  It'll be the first episode new episode on the new channel and will hopefully lay some groundwork for where things will be going in the future.

Additionally, I taped another random, rambling vlog ... but I doubt I'll post it.  It has to be edited and I hate going over that shit and watching myself like that.  Instead I'll tell you here: my scripts VIDEORAMA and CAFFEINE were selected as Quarter-Finalists in The Writer's Network annual writing competition.  For more about the scripts, check out the "Buy Stuff" link above, or just go to lulu.com/krumbine

I'm taping today for the new episode and might have it up late tonight!

I can't talk about it on the jordancg channel.  I can't advertise it.  If you came here looking for answers, I can't talk about it even from here.  I can share the new channel though ... and I ask your discretion in linking the two channels through a comment or something on the jordancg page.  Not that it really matters, since that channel has to be down by the end of next week ... but still--better safe than sorry.

New channel: http://youtube.com/krumbine

I wish I could tell you what's going on.

But I can't.

I haven't received the order yet, so I don't know the exact date my jordancg youtube account has to be deleted by.

And I can't talk about it.

Dammit.

It's less writer's block and more simply not being in the mood.  Maybe it's because the things I wish to write about--the things which I am most passionate about for the moment--are near impossible to deal with right now.

I don't know.

It's long been made clear that, going forward with krumbinesBRAIN, I would start writing material based on what was going on in my Youtube circle and the comments people leave on the episodes.  This is no mystery as there have been plenty of episodes that cite specific comments or events.

So the question becomes: do I continue on this them and go after the comment and the people that have irked me all weekend or do I let this one slide by simply because of the commentor's true identity?

Vague and insubstantial is this post, but in writing these words, I realize an unnerving sense of purpose.

Gear up.  It's time to get funky in here.

Have you ever heard someone actually use that line?  A few weeks ago I heard a fat lesbian at a restaurant use the phrase and it just pissed me off.  Not because of who said it, mind you, but because when you actually hear those words out loud, it's just fucking annoying as hell.

At any rate, I asked and now I'm receiving.  For that, I say:

Thanks guys.  You rock.

It happens every now and then.  And yeah, maybe it doesn't feel like much of a break to you--what with episode 33 of Talking Heads, episodes 3 AND 4 of Zaphod Zombie, as well as an "op-ed" on the whole election of a black man--but after what amounted to some rather regular episodes of krumbinesBRAIN, this is a sizeable break.

Me likey.

There are a couple of interesting things I'm keeping in my back pocket.  Essentially, I've been waiting for a large enough audience before I reveal what these things are.  The good news is that people continue to subscribe and my "youtube marketshare" continues to expand.  Mind you, it's still incredibly insignificant, but it is growing.  Further, there've been monumental strides taken in defining "Krumbine" as a recognizeable brand.

One thing that I can talk about right now is the YouTube joint project, Project:Darkside.

Truthfully, I have no idea what the point of it is or where the idea came from or what is hoped to accomplish through the project.  I do know that at its core is Misspacman08, Depointless, and me.  Also, I know that I've been appointed the leader of this project.

Here's what else I know: I like the idea and I like the people involved.  Where we take it from here, who can say?
