I was doing Twitter at my girlfriend @AliWilson, and this is what happened. Keep in mind, this is actually a few weeks old.

he was with Aniston and they were at my stand about to buy something idk. and then i started calling him CHANDLER BING and he got mad and said something totally chandler like and then went off and started sulking in the corner. blue shirt, khakis!

Even two weeks later and lacking any context, this makes perfect sense to me.

That’s what it means when you can form a deep connection with someone like an Ali Wilson.

In other news, you know I’m gearing up to release this Who Shot Mamba? movie on October 13.

Here’s my problem: I hate self-promo.

Like, I love to talk about myself, but I hate being like anything within 86 miles of a “huckster” – outdated term, but you get the idea. Obviously, it’s gotta be done. I believe in the movie we’ve made, so it’s not like I don’t feel justified in saying, “Go check this out to people.”

As I do in all promotional efforts, I try to give it actual entertainment value, and part of my personal push will be guest-posting…in the NBA/sports blogosphere. Yes, it’s happening.

Just check out how excited/horrified Rey-Rey over at The No Look Pass is:

I want to guest blog on your blog. Please advise.

Rey Moralde September 2 at 1:35pm
What did you have in mind, sir?

Brian Spaeth September 2 at 1:44pm
I don’t know – can’t I just have free reign lol.

Rey Moralde September 2 at 1:50pm
How about this? As LONG as there’s SOMETHING about the NBA. Just SOMETHING. Hell, you can even promote WSM? on the blog. We were thinking about having guest bloggers once a week, anyway. Ha ha.

lol can I use this in a blog post announcing my guest posting -

The best part is I didn’t even wait for his answer – I just did it.

The plan – and I can’t believe I’m saying this – is to hit up a different blog every single weekday between next Tuesday and the end of the WSM? run in January.

Am I wrong to be hating on self-promo, or what. Do you think I can write this much about sports again without going insane.

    Think of it this way....if you were only going on Jay Leno every single night promoting WSM? theoretically it would become more difficult than making the rounds with Conan, Dave, Craig, etc....each site actually could give you something new to talk about except for the part where the TV suddenly appears, they show a clip and then you have to talk about it by saying, "Uh, I'm not sure which clip they sent you."
  • Woah this is scary. Will it be 2005 and will I be waking up in New Jersey. Please say no thx
  • No.
  • Every day? Wow, that would be impressive if you could pull it off.
  • Why would I be horrified? I'm excited to have you on TNLP. Except none of my boys have no clue who you are.
  • double negative.
  • Dammit. But he knows what I mean. I think.
