It's Friday And I'm Spreadin' The Love

It’s Friday folks.

The day when people half ass their productiveness at work, while licking their lips in anticipation of a martini at 5:02.

If you’re like me, Friday evening is like the day before baseball season starts, and the weekend is the entire season.

On Friday evening there are no wins or losses…

And over the course of the weekend season, there is a chance of winning the pennant in the form of a sweet piece of ass.

Fridays are days marked by hope, relief, and good moods. I am no exception.

We had a nice time celebrating Schmoop’s B-Day yesterday. We had a couple of people stop by and share some libation.

Later on, the pizza guy showed up with Hot Wings and a Serious Meat Pizza. We gorged. Yum.

So today, although suffering from Serious Meat Pizza and Hot Wing gas, I am in a very good mood.

I want to share it with all of you. The good mood, not the gas.

A couple weeks ago, I was asked to put together a short video for Vinny’s blog, The Big Leather Couch.

It was his site’s two year anniversary, and I put together a short video retrospective of his site along with music.

Here is the video:



I thought to myself, “Self, why not do that for others?”

So, because you guys have been so good to Bagwine Ruminations, if you would like me to put together a video for your site, I will.

You can use it as a type of commercial for your blog.

You can embed it onto your site or a post, and it will be forever listed on Matt-Man’s You Tube Site as well.

Pretty nifty, eh?

The videos will be no more than 2 minutes 30 seconds or so long. All I need from you is your permission and desire to have one.

Just let me know through the comments or an email if you’d like me to put one together for your site.

If I need anything for the video that I can’t find on your site, I will be in contact with you.


Is there a cost, you ask?

Nope. I just hope you continue to come back for more Bagwine and spread the word of my site to those who might enjoy it.

This is my way of thanking you for your support of me and my satirical pennings.

I do hope you will be patient with me in producing your site’s video.

Have a great weekend and see ya tomorrow for the Bagwine Ruminations Comment of the Week.

Cheers!!

Update...I deem these Blog Video Ads to be called:

My lips are saying No NO NO but my eyes are saying ....*giggling*

I think you would do an awesome job sugar!!

Schmoop said...

TB: Your eyes are giggling? Neat. Cheers!!

Liz Hill said...

It's an optical illusion from all the posting

Schmoop said...

TB: Ahhh. The dreaded Blog-O-Myopia. Good luck with that. Cheers!!

Dana said...

You know, every day I come here knowing you'll give me a fantastic post that allows me to come up with some smart-ass comment, but for some reason I'm drawing a blank today! Before pushing play on the video, I wondered what I was in for - a video produced by Matt-Man for another blog?? It had to involve meat, body parts, SEX and bodily functions, right?? I watched in awe at what was really an amazing 2-minute recap of two years.

You had better be careful Matt-Man, your human side peeked through a bit there, and I liked it! Hopefully Schmoop won't mind that I looked!!

Schmoop said...

Dana: Thanks!! Y'know I heard a similar comment to yours about me twice yesterday.

You don't think the ugly layers of my Dorian Gray portrait are peeling away, do you? Cheers!!

Ken said...

THAT...WAS...EXCELLENT!

Around here they'd say it like
this.."Ya done good"

Schmoop said...

Mick: Why thank ya Mick. Cheers!!

Dana said...

You don't think the ugly layers of my Dorian Gray portrait are peeling away, do you?

Well, that might be taking it just a bit too far, don't you think?? I was wondering if it didn't have something to do with the bald head and the aluminum foil hat!

Schmoop said...

Dana: AHA...You may be right. My kindness had been all pent up under a quickly thinning layer of hair. You are schmart. Cheers!!

Unknown said...

Have fun with it, be nice with it...remember only I have a family friendly blog...and make me a video, I need a treat :)

Leighann said...

That was wonderful AND set to one of my favorite songs!

Good job man!

Schmoop said...

Sassy: Will do. I capture what the blog owner is about, not my own dark thoughts. You can trust me...Really. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Leighann: Why Thanks. And let me know if you want one for your blog. That would be a hoot. Cheers!!

Lu' said...

Quality, and I have come to expect no less when visiting here. Have a GREAT Friday Matt-Man. I usually do and it's just because it is Friday. I TGIF for sure.

Schmoop said...

Lu: Thanks. I hope your Friday and your weekend are just spiffy. Cheers Lu!!

Durward Discussion said...

Dear Matt

Put me somewhere among the list of thousands with my gratitude.

Schmoop said...

Jamie: Sweet. I sure will Jamie. And by golly, you are only the second one. Have a great weekend Jamie. Cheers!!

leelee said...

What a wonderful video Matt....not only are you cute...but oh so talented.

HUGS!!

The Absurdist said...

Dude, that was actually really sweet.

I should do that for Wayne, since I have known him forever.

I would love for you to do that for me, but no mushy shit. For sure.

And my favorite song is Eminem's "Lose Yourself" the explicit version. :-)

I think you may have just come up with a new "thingy" for people to do for each other on the blogosphere.

RW said...

You did a great job on that Matt, I put in my favorite on utube later. You could do my site if you want Matt, you could use dueling banjos in the background lol. Have a great weekend Matt!

Lizza said...

That was truly a labor of love, and it showed. Humorous and sweet at the same time. Great job, Matt!

Schmoop said...

Leelee: Coming from someone that is all of which you mentioned, I like that. Cheers Lee!!

Absurdist: Thanks, I have my moments. I'll put you on the list Abs. Have a good weekend. Cheers!!

Roger: Duly noted Raj. Have a good weekend yourself; enjoy your birds. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Lizza; Why thanks dear. I'll be by soon to check in with you and your world. Cheers Lizza!!

Desert Songbird said...

Offering yourself for free. Isn't that called whoring?

*grin*

When you get around to it, you could show me some love.

If you want.

Schmoop said...

Songbird: I'll show you plenty of love dear. I'll make a video for your site as well. Cheers!!

Anonymous said...

Oh My God!
I have been waiting for this day forever!!!I always wanted to say....

Oh Matty! Do me! You know I'm up for anything and I hope you are too! Oh Yeah! Turn on that video camera and give it to me!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Using my video to pimp yourself out...How much more man-love are you going to show me dude? People will begin talking (as if they have not already)

Schmoop said...

Metal: I'll do you so bad it will be unforgettable...for both of us, and for all of the world to see. Cheers!!

Bond: Just remember you will always be my first. But "doing you", left me with an empty spot that needs to be filled. Cheers!!

Lex Valentine said...

That was just awesome. Not that I didn't think you were already. And I'm totally envious of the hot wings. I'll have to get some tonight. You can pimp me with a vid any time. I'd wait awhile tho. I'm only on my 58th blog post, and I still haven't posted my kid's boobage.

Schmoop said...

Winter: The Wings and the Pizza were fandamntastic. I will wait until you violate your kid's boobage. Who deosn't want to see boobage? Cheers!!

Odat said...

Hey..thanks for the case of BagWine...I'll have to come back later to see your video, since they've now blocked YouTube here at the office, (another reason I'm getting the heck out of here, [preety soon they'll be blocking blogs)....I'll think about your offer for Blog-fo Mercials!
Peace

Jeff B said...

You're going to be busier than a paparazzi at a Paris Hilton sleep over.

Please add me to your ever growing list.

Desert Songbird said...

HA! Cannot WAIT to see what you come up with for Jeff!

Schmoop said...

Odat: Enjoy the Bagwine and enjoy your last day. Just let me know about the video. Cheers!!

Jeff: Consider yourself added my good man. Happy Friday. Cheers!!

Songbird: My first thought is that he may never speak to me again. Cheers!!

Jeff B said...

As soon as I hit the "Publish your comment" button the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

Schmoop said...

Jeff: Ha...Good One. I'll be good. No, really. Cheers!!

Jay said...

Your gonna do all those videos for free? Your a hell of a guy Matt-Man!

Schmoop said...

Jay: Yes. I love to a fault Jay. Have a great weekend. Cheers!!

Anonymous said...

Excellent video, Matt! I ♥ it - and yes... if you´ll ever find time again, after producing the 543 videos, please count me in for a Blog-Fo-Mercial©!

*SMOOCH*

Schmoop said...

Sanni: I'll do it. And of course I'll use that picture that you put up yesterday. Purrrrrrrr. How about a nice Wagnerian Soundtrack behind it? ; ) Cheers!!

Sandee said...

I'd love it if you did a video for Comedy Plus. Awesome. Have a great day and weekend Matt-Man. :)

Schmoop said...

Sandee: Okie Dokie...Have a good one. Cheers Sandee!!

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Dude...if you need help editing music ...call on me

(My way of showing my man-love for you)

Unknown said...

Excellent vid, Matt-Man. You did well.

This morning a new friend sent me this poem (I have no idea who authored it); since it seems appropriate to your subject today, I’ll be beneficent and share:

Friday is most certainly the greatest of days.
The reasons it’s great are too many to say.
But with that said, I’ll try to explain
Why Friday is better than a day without rain.
You see on Friday, you can work with a smile.
You need only work, for a little while.
For the weekend is near and then you can play.
Much fun to be brought by the most generous of days.
And generous it is, as morning treats can attest.
The cream filled donuts are definitely the best.
But don’t dare forget, the bagels are good too.
If there’s none in your office, that’s too bad for you.
Friday isn’t all treats and happy things.
There is but one obstacle the day does bring.
And that, my friend, is the slowing of time.
But if you can bare it, you’ll do just fine.
So join with me and laugh and cheer.
The work week’s end is drawing near.
Join with me and praise this day.
I’ve said what I’ve said, and I’ve nothing more to say.

Schmoop said...

Bond: Thanks Vinny!! Cheers!!

Nick: I am going to copy that and save it somewhere. Thanks, and enjoy your Friday and your weekend. Cheers!!

The Teamster said...

hey matt..great video...it seems like you and vinny have quite a bond.....quite a bit of man love there.....

as a teamster who works many hours (my day starts at 4:30 a.m. and my martini wishing starts at noon (well..actually diet dr. pepper wishing)...i actually have nick names for the days of the week leading up to the weekend. (i've been encouraged to blog with them as themes for the week). I truly work for the weekends....the work week is to survive and the weekend is to live and love...

I say this with deep heart...have a good weekend matt...

The Teamster said...

and by the way...if you do yourself for free it's slutting...if you charge...it's whoring....

Schmoop said...

Teamster: Slutting? I thought that if "you do yourself" it was called masturbation. Have a good weekend too. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Oooh, baby, video me! Seriously, I'd love to get your perspective on my blog as I think most of what I babble is crap :P

Cinnamon Girl said...

Oh and if you are going the infomercial way, might I suggest a lovely Faux Tan Picture of yourself for YOUR advertisting means? It would be so very HSN!

Leighann said...

And let me know if you want one for your blog. That would be a hoot. Cheers!!

And here I was coming back to pull your leg to make one for lil ole me and you've already put the offer on the table. In in like Flynn!

Leighann said...

I'm off to email you a special "thanks"

*giggle*

Schmoop said...

Starr: I will be honored to add your sit to this list. And by the way, any tan, faux or not, would be an improvement on me. But to give it that HSN feel, I'll start wearing a pinky ring. Cheers!!

Leighann: Oooooo baby. My inbox and I just got all stiff. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

I can smell the Brut from here, Matt!

Schmoop said...

Starr: Ha...That was good. Cheers!!

Marilyn said...

What a sweet offer... I think the only thing worth retrospecting is the Venus portrait Janna did of me at Halloween... so I'll just repost it on my birthday. But I look forward to seeing what you do for other folks.

Schmoop said...

Marilyn: Well maybe I can think of a way to capture one of the driest senses of humor I know. Have a good weekend Marilyn. Cheers!!

Kimmie said...

Great video Matt-Man...I thought you did a fine job.

Thank You for visiting my blog. Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Smiles,
Kimmie

Schmoop said...

Kimmie: Thanks and have a peaceful weekend yourself. Cheers Kimmie!!

Ken said...

I know now that I'm way down on your line.....but Mic'n'Bic would be honored to have a Blog-Fo produced by the Matt-Man.
The only catch is, I really like
Bob Marley!

Marmelade said...

you really know how to make me smile! have a fun weekend!

Schmoop said...

Micky: Say no mo. Your wish is my command. Cheers!!

Marmelade: Well thanks, and I am glad we crossed paths. Have a great one. Cheers!!

Lizza said...

Seems I failed to put myself on your Blog-Fo-Mercials list. Blame the damn beer (and the death of my brain cells.)

Phfrankie Bondo said...

In the immortal words of Mic: Ya done good!....Excellent vid, Matt-man! I humbly take you up on your offer....BTW, I am a Beatles man.......

Real Live Lesbian said...

What a talent you are! And here I thought you were just a perv with a big package! ;)

Great job and hell yeah I want to be on that list!!!!

Schmoop said...

Lizza: You're on there now gorgeous. I hope all is well. Cheers!!

Phfrankie: Got it dude. I'll give it my best. Cheers!!

Real: Mmmmm. This one will be a pleasure and thanks alot dear. Cheers!!

Tug said...

Dude, I am so not worthy. YES I AM - do I need to add that to my I want......list? I wanna Blog-Fo-Mercial, and don't need it until the end of July - enough time? Happy Friday!

Schmoop said...

Tug: That's why I like you...That is a great time schedule and by the way, I think you are more than worthy, and you know you are. Cheers Tug!!

Travis Cody said...

You are a generous soul.

Don't worry...I won't tell anyone.

Happy weekend!

Schmoop said...

Travis: You are too kind. Go X!! Cheers!!

Deb Hernandez said...

The Diva got so excited at the thought of you making a video for her blog that she about jumped out of her paisley print tube top and neon hot pants...but since they are both four or five sizes too small everything stayed put. Please put me on your waiting list....if you need help I can send one of my flying monkeys (except on Fridays...the damn things found my champagne and Godiva stash and are worthless from about 3pm on Friday until Monday morning...sigh...good minions ARE so hard to enslave....)

Lex Valentine said...

I'll post the kid's boobage soon. I don't want Fab to think he's a dirty old man cuz he's the only one in the Blogosphere to have seen them. If she can post them on MySpace I can post them on a blog and not be considered pimping my kid out. Oh, and my song should totally be Vampires by Godsmack. LOL

Ginormous Boobs said...

My birthday is May 30th. I would greatly one of these to help celebrate.

Jahooni said...

okay i want..... this and that and everything!
but since you are probably going to pick others over "doing me" first, i will just sit back and wait until you are bored again. ;)~

Schmoop said...

Diva: Sweet. A video involving flying monkeys. That will be fun. Good to see ya. Cheers!!

Winter: Okie-Dokie. I hope the Word Press crap is coming along nicely. Cheers!!

GB: Ah, that's a good idea. I'll make a note of it. Hope your friend is doing okay. Cheers!!

Jahooni: I'll let ya know when I am going to do ya. I wouldn'y want to startle you. Have a sfae trip. Cheers!!

Cheesy said...

Well crap I missed Schmoop's b-day.. hug her for me!

Odat said...

Came back, like I said I would, to listen to the video.....Wow!! That as really, really, really nice! I'm speechless! And yes, I want one too.
Pretty please,(with sugar on top).
;-)
Peace

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: I'll do a reach around on her for ya as well. I hope you're feelin' better. Cheers!!

Odat: I would be more than happy to Odat. Congrats on starting your new adventure. Cheers!!

Lisa Ryan said...

Schmoop said...

Lisa: I am selfless arent I ? Cheers!!

maryt/theteach said...

That video is very, very good, matt-man! You are a talented dude, aren't you?
