Cool Shot

Posted by shelby on Apr 7th, 2009 at about 2:29 pm

This is a cool shot that someone took of me up on a subwoofer at Big Break.  Yes, those are little cupid angels in the background surrounding a couch.  This was for the ritualistic every-meeting-event of crowning the temporary occupant of the Love Seat of Love. (basically, VIP seats for the meeting)

Parody, Parody, Parody

I spent the last month emceeing the Big Break conference.  My role was simple: keep the meeting flowing and make the students want to be there.  I used a variety of tactics to make that happen, including parodying a few songs and turning them into my own.  I was kind of like the P. Diddy of the conference world--rip off other songs and make them mine.

It was a great month, but I'm more than a little tired.  Next up on the tour: Shelby's Seminar at Radford University on April 9th.  See you in South West Virginia very soon!

What's Up Photographically

A little taste of what I've been experiencing for the past two weeks. Lovin' it.

Full Moon

Posted by shelby on Mar 11th, 2009 at about 5:05 pm

Yesterday I decided to go for a little run here at Panama City Beach. I'm currently training for a ten mile race come mid-May, so I'm on this work out schedule that makes me exercise pretty much every day. I'm equating it to brushing your teeth when you're around the age of 7...you really, really don't want to do it, but your mom inevitably makes you, so you do (mom in this metaphor is guilt).

So I run.

And when I did yesterday, I got a little something extra than just a calorie burn and built up endurance. I got mooned.

Yes, I'm at the spring break capitol of the south, and the strip was flooded with bass pumping, chrome plated trucks full of college students hollering at me for no particular reason whatsoever. Around mile 2 of my run, a horn honked, I glanced slightly to the right and it's a glance that I ultimately came to regret.

Two dudes in a big truck "on dubs" (one riding shotgun and one in the back seat) stuck their butts out the window and wiggled. I gave them a smirk and admirable salute with my right hand, but didn't break stride. They screamed, "yeah!"

Good run, I'd say. I am, however, praying that any and all of my subsequent running adventures will be less populated with the naked male backside.

This is the view from my apartment here in Panama City Beach when the sun sets. It's been a great time so far and the weather is about to warm up to the mid to high 70s. Yeah, suckas!

Day One Begins

As I sit on my balcony, overlooking the blueish green ocean waves massaging the sugary white sands of Panama City Beach, I start to think about how awesome Big Break is going to be.

Some of you are getting here today and will begin an adventure the rivals the end of Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

I can't wait to see what God is going to do while we are here! If you're not coming to Big Break for your spring break, enjoy the icy weather at home. Really, I mean it...enjoy.

Breakin'

In case you hadn't noticed, March is coming. Now for some of you, this means very little...for others it means spring break in Panama City Beach, FL. For me, personally, it means the latter.

Spring break is an important time to connect with friends, road trip, buy cheap and disgusting food, ignore the warning labels on SPF 8 bottles of tanning lotion, and be in Florida at the Big Break.

Big Break is coming soon my friends, and I'm looking forward to chillin' by the pool with y'alls suckas and listening to some UB40.

Me vs. The Lion

Posted by shelby on Feb 22nd, 2009 at about 4:44 pm

I recently had a wrestling match with the Penn State Nittany Lion. It took me about 3 minutes to realize that the Lion was made of stone before I conceded and took my rightful place in the long line of losers that have posed like this with the statue in the past.

Anyway, I had a great time visiting State College and performing Shelby's Seminar there for an audience of about 375 people. It's a lot colder in Happy Valley, but it was a great experience. Thanks for having me, Penn State...enjoy the next 3 months of wintery weather!
