1. The Great Sharpie Debate: I’m for ‘em!
2. I’ve been busy like A BEE these past couple of weeks, I didn’t know if you could SEE that, DEE end.
3. As a teacher, I have to repeat myself multiple times a day because students don’t listen to me the first or second or third or later times. It gets old.
4. As a teacher, I have to repeat myself multiple times a day because students don’t listen to me the first or second or third or later times. It gets old.
5. This week a kid who read my book told me it was her new 8th favorite book. I’ll take 2nd to the Harry Potter series any day of the week.
6. Filmed 2 weddings this week back-to-back, hoping to have the videos on-air within the next 2 months.
7. Also hoping to have up a live performance I filmed in the next 2 weeks. Lots of videos, not lots of spare time.
8. I hope you’re still reading this like the opposite of the Newspaper.
9. We are only $179 away from reaching our goal to raise $1002 for charity:water. While my distances have been much much shorter since I tore my ACL, but I have continued to go. Hoping to extend the distances tomorrow.
10. Still reading Knox’s book. Still liking it a lot. Still alive in it.
11. Stanton got his picture taken in almost the exact same style/way I had planned on doing my album cover.
12. Album? First song coming by end of the year.
13. I’ve been debating on whether or not to start some sort of interview/induction thing for people I think are fly…

So, do you think I should? 

Or would that be way too much of a rip of Knox’s Awesometown? 

1. My favorite time of year is coming up….Presidental Election Time! It’s like a celebration of people who take themselves too seriously.
2. My Game? I find out enough pro’s and con’s about each candidate, that way I can go against whoever is riding the high horse around me.
3. I read a story about a 60 year old chick who stabbed her boyfriend because she suspected him of cheating in Monopoly. I bet he was also just playing…half-heartedly. Ha. Pun! That doesn’t count. Oh. Like a broken calculator? Stop it. Okay.
4. I think Jelly Belly’s would sell better if 9 out of 10 flavors weren’t essentially “bitter vinegar vomit” flavored.
5. The Frey wrote a letter to me this week. I will be getting it tattooed on my body as of tomorrow. Always tomorrow.
6. Love Wins = Yup.
7. About the only chill time all day I have to watch a show is lunch, and I’m always torn between 2 I’ve already started: Breaking Bad and The Wire. It’s like choosing between criminal children who curse a lot and are TV shows I like.
8. Hands are the freakin weirdest things on the planet. They’re like chopped up pancakes with a purpose.
9. I’ve been taking some engagement photos of my brother/fiance. Would that be boring if I showed some on this site?
10. If you sell wooden board games to large outdoor pigs, I bet your life is pretty boring.
11. Our DirecTV gets cut off today. I cancelled 3 weeks ago and they called me twice a day everyday for a week offering me the deals I asked for 8 months ago. They quit called when I told the guy I understood why they were trying so hard since Netflix and RedBox are putting them out of business. He got mad.
12. Hello Roku and Hulu Plus.
13. This makes 13.

What game are you willing to shank someone for?

1. Why do people always complain about other people giving them a hard time’? I love diamond watches.
2. I’m going to say that joke on Twitter right now.
3. For the Run Tyler Run charity: water campaign, I pledged to run every day for 91 days. Eight days ago I ripped my PCL (the ACL’s less import yet still painful little cousin). I have supplemented the running with biking, but will hopefull start the running up as soon as I’m allowed. Still haven’t missed a day.
4. The campaign, by the way, is going extrememly very much well. Like, way more extremely than I had anticipated. The sincerest thank yous I can nonverbally deliver to Dan Jackson, Jared Hollier, Stanton Martin, Anonymous, and Christian Emmett. You people are the best kinds of people. Thank you with the fire of a 1,000 suns.
5. I would also like to note that Anonymous donated $653. That’s Six hundred and fifty three dollars in nonnumerical writing. Which is freaking ridiculous and awesome all at the same time. Like riwesome. I offered to write a letter to anyone if people donated anything to the campaign. Captain Anonymous of Excellenceville requested Nolan Ryan.
6. You can probably guess who I’ll be writing a letter to tomorrow.
7. You can still give anything you want to help charity: water get more water to more people that need it. We’re still $244 from our goal, like in soccer.
8. So I finished my first Wedding Highlight video. It was ceremony only, but I still feel medium about it. I’m really excited about the one I’m working on now. Let’s just say there’s a camel involved.
9. I’d still love to film you or your person you know’s wedding if you’d like. Hit me up at tylertarver@gmail.com, or just start screaming, I’ll find you.
10. The first and only blog post review of my book came out. Girl Contrary was really nice about it and I only had to send her 3 oxen and my first born child. It’s cool, she has a swingset.
11. Purple is a highly underrated color in my humble and correct opinion. Thank you Justin Bieber.
12. Someone else lied for me last week. My virtual hugs are way too personal.
13. Almost finished reading Love Wins by Rob Bell. Not sure if I’m going to be able to criticize it enough afterwards to still get to go to heaven.

Are you sick of the PSA videos yet? 

If not then you’re not paying attention.

Attention? How much does that cost? Cause you get Direct Deposit?

1. Catalyst Atlanta is going down right now. It’s the first time I haven’t gone since the first time I went. Lots of excellent Internet and Real-Life people I’d love to meet/see/challenge-to-the-death there. If you guys play the internet blogger who-do-you-know game, bring me up so you can both go “oh…cool” like every other winner of the we-happen-to-know-the-same-person-but-I-don’t-know-if-they-like-them-or-not-so-I-can’t-give-my-honest-0pinion-for-fear-of-this-getting-more-awkward-so-the-conversation-goes-nowhere game.
2. The reason I’m not there: The Stand is going down this weekend. I have the opportunity to do some videos and emcee and meet and connect with some excellent people who deal in awesome. I’m excited about that like someone who broke up with Cited.
3. This is the first sentence not about Catalyst.
4. I’ve been reading Knox McCoy’s free Novel (releasing a Chapter a week thus far) and I’m really enjoying it. I wish it happened as often as a bowel movement not a trash collector.
5. My namesake made his entrance in previously stated novel last week. I’m a toolbag furniture salesman stoner, and I sincerely hope I go out in a blaze of glory or am the idiot who survives to repopulate the Earth with his moron loins so as to repeat the cycle of apocalyptic catastrophes through genetically inherited human ignorance.
6. I’ve been building up my repertoire of wedding videos and photography. If you would like me to do those things for someone you know like yourself or Bill Gates, let me know.
7. Went to the Taylor Swift and NeedToBreathe concert last night with my wife and friends and strangers. It was cool. If I had a dollar for every chick that was wearing a skirt and cowboy boots, I’d have some money as a result.
8. Taylor Swift is #4 on my list. What list? You don’t know then you don’t know.
9. I’m still running every day to raise money for charity:water. Only a couple of people have given so far and they just went up to the top of whatever list it is you keep people on that you highly respect and admire.
10. How is running everyday supposed to raise money for a charity? Am I supposed to be finding money on the ground when I run? I might have should’ve thought this through a bit more.
11. Maybe I thought it’d be more like Mario Brothers.
12. Let’s do a poll. That okay?

 Loading ...

Is there anything I didn’t include that you enjoy, so I can do those things and not things that aren’t that? 

I want to be better for you.

1. Is the loneliest Number.
2. It’s been a while since I’ve done a 13 thoughts, I might have forgotten how it works.
3. Bananas
4. Eggs
5. Milk
6. My friends Katie and Jared have a chance of winning 5 grand, they just need people to vote for Katie’s Salon by clicking here and filling out some stuff. You can vote every day. They deserve it so please if you got an extra 32 seconds.
7. This is my LAST WEEK of my Book Blahg Tour oh 11. It’s been nice dancing on all these awesome writers’ lawns, but it’ll also be nice to buy my book. Threw ya for a loop there didn’t I, Hot Wheels?
8. It was recently decided that Nate and I will be emceeing a bit and making videos a bit for The Stand Conference coming up in October. I like the thing I just said a lot.
9. Starting next week, Video Fridays will be hereby be transformed into…..wait for it…..MOVIE MONDAYS! That’s right, you’ll get a heaping helping of video every Monday as opposed to Friday forever and ever amen.
10. Stanton Martin was hereby crowned Top Commentor of last month and has officially taken his spot on the sidebar. He’s the dude with the face.
11. It’s not too late to become the Top C-Tor of this month and have your crap plastered on my wall, just comment a bunch or whatever or hey what’s up.
12. My son had his first big fall yesterday as he missed a step. I wasn’t there when it happened, but Amanda gave him some milk and a cracker and he hasn’t made a noise about it since. Why? Cause he’s a freakin boss.

Ps. Does it look like he just got a Mike Tyson tattoo removed? It just clashed with his eyes.

I call this last one “The Armpit”.

1. I have had a blast like a bottlerocket doing guest posts on other people’s sites for the past 2 weeks for the Book Tour. Haven’t sold a lot of books, but stole a lot of music. I mean..A LOT. Eat it Metallica.
2. Have you ever wanted to be a movie producer? Really? You’re in luck. We need a dolla dolla bills y’all to be in the 48 Film Festival. Please let us achieve something great/mediocre and/or get your name in one of the greatest films since Air Bud 3. Click here to check it out.
3. Did you see Ben’s guest post from yesterday? If you didn’t it’s ok cause nobody’s perfect, but you can be, Roger Clemens.
4. I just got some higher end audio/video equipment in. I am going to start filming more weddings. I need a demo, so if you know anyone getting married soon let them know I’d video that fool for a hefty discount.
5. If you didn’t notice, I put some new ads on my sidebar. I’m hoping to do a post next weekend about each of them, but I’d like point out that I’ve started a new thing where I put an ad up for the Top Commenter of the Month (most comments). The Top person from last month was the handsome and tumultuous Ricky Anderson. Just look at that sweet face.

Here’s a PSA we made a couple weeks ago (I’ll be throwing these in occasionally for the next couple of months, so stay catooned. What? Oh, tuned.)

Reminder: Even if you don’t wanna give so we can compete in that Film Festival, you can still promote it and we’d super appreciate it like a Thank You card. 

1.  The new Harry Potter movie comes out tomorrow. I haven’t been this excited since the last time I was born. Here’s a my Harry Potter Series Recap video I made so you’re in the know.

2. In honor of the Harry Potter Franchise retiring, I am dedicating NEXT WEEK IS HARRY POTTER WEEK! I’M SORRY FOR YELLING BUT I’M CURRENTLY FALLING OFF A CLiff. Whew, that’s better. Next week is Harry Potter week, get pumped.

3. If you haven’t noticed, I changed up the header banner for my site. Give a click and tell a brotha what ya think. Then I’ll have him tell me.

4. For everyone who has bought my book thus far, I can honestly not express how grateful I am. You are honestly a wonderful person beyond the realm of wonderfulness. If you haven’t it’s not over, it’s still not over.

5. I want to give you a high one of these.

1. Today is the first day of Summer School, in which I will be teaching Geometry, Algebra II, and Transitions to College Math. Get pumped like a flat tire.
2. I have thoroughly deduced that the most dangerous name ever created is “Zero Cool” from Hackers. Why you ask? Yes I answer. What number in the world can win a match when multiplied by Zero? My clenched fist of victory tells me nothing. Zero always wins. Cool? Oh yeah, Cool. What is the one word that has been around for over 40 years and hasnt’ gone out of style? It’s not groovy, it’s not fetch, it’s cool. You just got a bachelor degree in life. You’re welcome.
3. I got interviewed and picturized for a potential article in Sync magazine. I’m toning down the excitement as to not annoy or appear arrogant. I just hope I didn’t say/do anything that is gonna get me fired, because as a teacher, you are very,very flammable.
4. My best friend is/just arrived in Thailand. If you got some extra prayers and/or dollars, please throw them his way.
5. Daddy saw some recent pictures of himself at the pool. Daddy starts running today. FYI: I am daddy in this scenario, just in case you thought I was talking about Bob Saget or my mom.
6. Mustaches? I just don’t know what to think anymore. Put a handlebar on it and now we’re dancin.
7. This will hopefully be my last post for a long time that goes out later than 9 oh clock. Gonna try to write them early and have them go out 8 of the clock. Who cares? Am I right? Am I? I don’t know.
8. I am doing a few videos for the Super Summer Conference coming up in a couple weeks. Hopefully they won’t suck like Clay Aiken’s music.
9. Do you think he’s related to Troy Aikman? Or like, Clay, the mud? Does mud have 2 d’s? Like Daisy Dukes? The pants, not Jessica Simpson. Never Jessica Simpson.
10. This is the number that refers to girls of a high caliber. Also known as, a dime.
11. Anytime you hear someone say that they or something “rocks”, let them know you “paper” on the frequent. Paper always beats rock, that’s  life, the game, by Hasbro, 8 people to a car, you win, pay your taxes.
12. This past weekend a short film my wife and I redid was in the 5th Annual Little Rock Film Festival.
13. I will speak more on things of that nature tomorrow.

What is a great/fairly decent running song/podcast?
