This week we bring back two old friends and one newcomer. There will be laughs, there will be tears, but funny enough there was no drinking of beers.

Memphis comics, Mo Alexander and Katrina Murrell,  join Jared and Matt in lengthy and explicit conversations about giving birth, scaring people, Memphis comedy, strange beer accessories, bombing the moon, the shelf life of breast milk, and much much more.

Hello there friends. Its been a while and I thought that I’d give you an update on whats been gong on…

There will be a third season of the podcast. Its just taking a while to get it going. We’ve recorded one episode…it just needs to be edited. The episode will have local Memphis artists, Tiffany Harmon, Other Stories, and Emily Anderson. Look for it soon.

I’ve been busy working on my directorial debut. Its a film about two detectives, in a small town, who take on a 20 year old cold case and as they go through it, their every day lives wrap around it and inadvertently solve it. The film is titled One Degree Below and was written by my friend, Evaristo Scarsanela Jr. Hell of a name, right?

Anyways, the script is done and I’m in the process of doing my revisions. After all of that is done, I’ll send it to my Line Producer, an amazing man by the name of Trevor Allen, and he will do the budget, schedule, and get the proposal going…then we try to hunt for investors.

Money is the biggest factor, when making a film. If you don’t have enough, you can’t get good actors and your film comes off as cheap and hokey…I don’t think that we’re going to have any problems getting our budget. We just nee to make it happen.

Aside from all of that, I’m just trying to get my life in order. For a long time, I was focused on other people and things making me happy but that’s not how it works. Your life is in your own hands and you have to reach out and take it, but that’s hard to do.

GET UP OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

And that’s what I’m doing.

Ive been writing a lot lately: music, stories, and just random poems and short hand stuff…anything that will unclog all of this crap out of my head. So yeah, I’m in a really creative mood, at the moment, and I plan on taking full advantage of it.

For example, I was driving home the other night and I came up with a really cool idea for a film. I had my iPhone with me and I recorded myself brainstorming about the idea and this is what I came up with…

So, that will be the next think that I’ll be working on, after One Degree Below. Don’t think about stealing it, ’cause I’ve already sent in a treatment and outline to the WGA.

Look for the new podcast, out soon, and One Degree Below. I’ll be posting more blogs about it, as we go.

Until next time,

Jared

If you’re like me, then you are a text whore. I live on my phone. For example, I’ve answered about ten texts since I started writing this review.

“How do you ever get anything done?,” you ask.

I have no idea.

I’m a social networking whore, as well.  I like anything that connects me with other people, and today’s app does just that.

We all know that the iPhone is an amazing tool, but what would make it even better?

Have you ever been talking to someone about a song and had to tell them, while searching through your iPod, “No I don’t have it on me, but its in my iTunes at home?”

We’ve all been there but what if you having that particular song, at that particular moment, is the key to gaining that special someone’s attention? Who knows? It worked for Natalie Portman in Garden State…

You say, “How am I supposed to do that, Jared? I can’t carry my whole music library with me.”

I say, “Bullshit. You ever heard of Simplify Media?”

You reply with, “huh?”

Simplify Media is a must have app for the iPhone. Not only do you get to carry your whole music library wherever you go, you get to carry yours and 30 of your friends as well.

If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, I bet you’ve downloaded an app or two.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about or if you’ve been living in a cave for the past six months, go here and learn and then come back.

Everyone on the same page now? Good.

I’ve downloaded tons of apps on my iPhone. I’ve tried the free ones and the paid ones. I even jailbroke my iPhone and fooled around with all of the cool mods that are available in Cydia, which is a must-do but I’ll save that for another time.

There are hundreds of apps out there but most of them are bullshit. Sure, some of them are funny. I mean, who doesn’t want to be the cool kid at school who has a fart machine or a “Thats What She Said” button on hand at all times. You can be the life of the party…for at least ten minutes. Any longer than that, someone is going to come after you with a chainsaw. Trust me. I know.

So, I’ve decided to do a weekly app review, that will hopefully help you weed through the crappy apps and find the cool and useful ones. I’m going to start off with one that I’ve been playing with for about a week now: Distant Shore.
