Thom Takes on The World

I chat first of all about all of the comments that have been left on my blog.  I then chat about the death of a close friend of mine and the struggles that resulted.  I post the graphic to the left for a reason.  Not only do I mention it on my podcast, but I thought that if you don’t listen to it, you can still access the phone number here.  You are are suicidal, call 911.  If you are needing to talk to someone regarding local resources where you can chat with someone and get some help, then call the “Talk Line”.  It is: 1-800-273-8255.  If this posting helps just one person, then just perhaps it was worth the struggle to put this episode out.

I’m doing okay.  It has not been easy.  I wish that I had some friends here in Nashville.  It’s been hard.  I’m making it through somehow.  Thanks to some long distance friends I’m holding on.  I hope that you are doing well.  If not…reach out.  Please!

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom

Olympic Medal winners at NBC Olympics.com!

In this episode, I chat about my mistakes in episode 090 that may have made it difficult for the listeners to understand.  I also chat about my migraines and the stress that has caused it.  I also chat about the Olympics and how there are more Olympians that just the atheletes that you see on NBC.  I also do chat about a few other podcasters.  Please give me some feedback and let me know what you would like for me to chat about in my next episode.  I have a list of topics that I can chat about, however, I am giving you an opportunity to choose the topic.  Also, please send me a comment on iTunes.  You can also write to me at: Thom@ThomTakesOnTheWorld.com.  It’s always great to know that you are listening!

In this episode I chat about my trip to Pennsylvania to Philadelphia and to New Jersey.  I chat about drum and bugle corps, hotel problems, as well as my time with my parents.  The pictures above are from Allentown: The pressbox from the stadium and the Bridgemen Drum and Bugle Corps.  Please leave your comments here and consider giving me a five star rating on iTunes!

Listen to the extra audio after the closing music!

Hey Gang,

I’m looking for a new co-host for a conversational styled podcast. There are, however, prerequisites that you must qualify for in order to do so:

Be originally from New Jersey
Be currently living in the “South”
Be a male above the age of 21
Be able to chat about “adult nature”  and gay issues
Have Skype downloaded onto your computer
Have a good set of headphones
Have a good microphone
Be willing to record an episode weekly

If you meet all of these criteria and don’t mind laughing it up, let me know via e-mail. Put in the subject line: “Co-Host” so it will not be automatically deleted. There is no pay for this position, just self satisfaction of a job well-done.

The style of the podcast is to be one of a conversation to discuss what has been going on in your life, how we don’t do things in the South like we did when we lived in New Jersey, and whatever other things we feel like discussing. This podcast will contain conversations of an adult nature which would not be suitable for those under 21 years of age. It will be sent to iTunes and will contain its own blog.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom

I have been really enjoying watching the drum and bugle corps compete with eachother. I have now been to two shows: Louisville and Murfreesboro. The shows from each corps are packed with great music and marching. I am looking forward to next weekend (Friday and Saturday evenings) in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I have my tickets and am ready to go! From what I have read, Drum Corps International will not be broadcasting on cable this year so you can either catch them live or on the DCI website if you become a subscriber. Go to www.DCI.org and look it up.

Who are you going to root for? I know who I am rooting for. I’ll be posting another episode of Thom Takes On The World on iTunes tomorrow. I’ll be chatting about my favorite television shows and respond to your comments of my blog and podcast.

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom

I briefly revisit my last episode’s topic, “Honesty” to give clarification before chatting about my favorite car: The Delorean Motor Car. Please feel free to leave me a comment here on my blog regarding my episode and also I would encourage you to leave me a five star rating on iTunes. I only have two reviews so I would like to see more on iTunes.

I’ll post again sometime on Saturday regarding the Drum Corps Show at Middle Tennessee State University from Friday night.

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom

It’s up and running on iTunes.  Go and refresh your account to download it to your computer and iPod.  I talk about honesty and how we need to be more honest with ourselves and each other.  It is a good mark of character and one that is in need of work.  We all need to be honest more often…well…all the time actually.  I also chat about what I have been doing and where I am planning to go to watch more drum corps competitions.

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom

Sometime during the day yesterday, you put me over the 100 download mark!  Whoohoo!  Whoops.  I guess that my Southern boy just came out!  LOL

I am so honored to have only 5 episodes out there in “Cyberland” and to have 100 downloads!  I actually have 109 downloads as of today, Tuesday.  Wow.  I am amazed and surprised.  I have never thought that my little podcast would get this attention.  Thank you so very much for listening to what I have to say.  iTunes has put me on the “New and Notable” listing.  I would have thought that I would have to be getting a thousand downloads to do that.  Who’d a thought?

Thank you all so very much for listening and for spreading the word about my little podcast.

Your Nashville Friend,

Thom
