Hey guys,
This Audio Blog (I could call it a podcast, I guess, but everyone does that…) is about — you guessed it — legalization of marijuana! Seriously though, it has some really interesting statistics about death rates in America.

I actually recorded this like a week ago, and just haven’t gotten around to putting it up yet. I’ve been procrastinating it because I’ve moved my office to the basement, and I’m using the crappy wireless Internet, and things take ages to upload (or download for that matter).

But something motivated me to post this as soon as possible. My last audio blog (a rant about Cocaine Energy Drink being made illegal) got listened to by the creator of Cocaine, Jamey Kirby, and evidently the entire Redux team! He personally sent me an email! I asked for his permission to post the email on my blog, so if it’s okay by him I’ll have it up soon.

Well, it’s 4:00 AM yet again (I was up til 4 last night, and until 7 the night before…) so I best be off now.

I haven’t really said this before, but to everyone who reads my blog, thank you so much. Tonight’s email from Jamey Kirby made me realize that while I don’t get a lot of traffic here, and sometimes that gets frustrating, I do have a few loyal readers. Many thanks to those, and also to readers who just pop in for certain blogs. I appreciate you guys!

And, yes, I plan on blogging more often now. Truth be told, I was pondering giving up on this thing completely, but not after tonight’s email!! I’m here to stay.

Peace out, guys!

Oh, I almost forgot, here’s the audio file! It’s a WAV…sorry about that, I would like to do it as an MP3 but was having a rough time with it. Next time, hopefully. Enjai.

Update: Here’s the email I got from Jamey Kirby, founder and inventor of Cocaine Energy Drink!!!

Dude,

I have been following your blogs on my drink and I appreciate your
effort very much. Tonight we found your latest audio blog. It made us
all (the whole management staff at Redux) very happy. We have sent it
off to various media outlets, the Jay Thomas Show, and several other
radio shows we sometimes work with; I even sent it off to the Daily
Show. I have no idea if any of them will use it, but it was so good I
had to give it a shot.

Other partners have sent your message to their congressmen and all of
their friends and contacts. We all want to thank you very much.

Oh, I am Jamey, the founder and inventor of the brand. I too was a nerd.
A year and a half ago I sold my interest in a software company I started
7 years ago and chose to use the funds to make this energy drink (along
with the funds of some of my friends). I developed device drivers for
the Windows platform mostly; file systems, filters, backup, and other
storage related system level components.

I am having a party at my home in San Diego on Saturday June 23rd. If
you are interested in coming I can send you the details. It will be a
hodge-podge of nerds, rock stars, and business people. You are very
welcome to come.

Regards,
