Get Down with the Download?

Dear friends,
It only took two and a half hours, but I think I made my latest Obrouni Show available to download at: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HDKQ7O16 . If anyone back home wants to try it out and let me know if it worked that would be cool. It is a bit choppy and the sound goes dead while I switch on the mic, but it should be entertaining.
Big shout out to all the readers of this terrible little blog. Especially to Christina for pointing out that I left off a monumental tumble in the last post. That would be the breakfast we shared where I ordered bottomless Bloddy Marys and a black coffee. I give it a ********* awesomeness level and a ! disaster level. The ! is because that breakfast ended when all involved would have been happy to sit at that table for days.
I hope the download works and you enjoy the show. I'm working on getting the station online, as well as, other things that I will update soon enough. I love receiving comments on the blog or emails so if you love writing you should send me an update. Peace!

Tumbling into Awesome!

Ok, so I know it has been afillion years since I did one of these silly blog things, but my bro requested I start it back up. I'm sure there are plenty of bored people back home who would love nothing more than to waste time correcting my grammar and punctuation.
Unless you have been at my side for the past 7 months and have been on the wild ride that I have dubbed “Tumbling into Awesome: The Josh Gordon Story” the following is a list of the Awesome that you have missed. The stars represent levels of awesome and the exclamation points represent levels of disaster or loud volume.
(Side note – This list only contains things that I remember anything that I have forgotten will not be on the list, but it should be assumed that a couple of crazy awesome things have happened that I don’t remember.)

And that should get you pretty much up to date. Reading over the list, it doesn’t look like I’m doing that bad. If you have any questions about specific tumbles post it in the comments and I’d love to give you more details next time (I promise that wont be 7 months from now).

I’m going to assume someone is going to ask “Why did you go back to Ghana?”
In short I wrote up this plan to build 3 new radio stations and used fancy words like 'synergy' to propose a media house that will have a daily newspaper, online journal, 4 radio stations, marketing agency type thing, a news agency, TV and Recording studios. So after writing up the plan, the Dr. (My boss) gave me a contract to come back and be the Project Manager. That is what I am doing, at least when I know what Im doing, which is sometimes. It made such big news that I got a feature written about me in the UofO SOJC newsletter. There goes my fifteen minutes. Here is the link to the story: http://jcomm.uoregon.edu/articles/study-abroad-program-leads-2008-graduate-to-niche-in-ghanaian-radio . It does a much better job of explaining what I am doing then I can.

Another question is probably going to concern pictures. I don’t know why, but I just don’t take pictures. I promise these things happened and I’ll try my best to take pictures, but right now I'm in a moral dilemma between the abuse of not using my super sweet camera and the awkwardness of taking pictures with a giant machine. I’ll work on this…maybe.

Glad to be back. Hopefully, I’ll update this when something crazy or cool or crazy sexy cool happens (TLC). Shoot me an email or post in the comments I would love to hear how you are getting down with the get downs.

Go Ducks!
