International Talk Like A Pirate Day is finally over

International Talk Like A Pirate Day was a success!
I thought I'd get back into the swing of writing blogs, just right after my Pirate Experience was coming to an end. For the last few month's my friend Rhett and I have been hard at work trying to put together a music video for his famous pirate song. Two months ago I would of never guessed I'd be laying here with my leg in stitc
hes and having this video completed. I feel so accomplished right now!

Early this morning I woke up and went straight to work, as I madly tried to upload a video so that we could start emailing it to our fans. (I was glad that it was finally pirate day, cause let me tell ya I'm more than ready to put Being A Pirate to bed for a little while). Anyway, got the video uploaded and began sending it to everyone under the sun. Come afternoon Rhett calls
me and asks me to send Jessie a DJ on our local radio station, KDGE 102.1 the edge, an mp3. Took me a while to get it together, but I did. It was cool knowing that the mp3 I was making was going to be on the radio. A few hours later, Rhett and I were glued to the radio where we heard the DJ praise our song and video for hours. She kept asking people to stay tuned for the song, that was supposed to play at 5. I recall Rhett telling me over the phone as we waited for the song to finally play, "Man 5'oclock doesn't come fast enough." But come 5, the song was blasting all over DFW. It was awesome! The DJ even posted our video on her blog, which made me super excited. Check out her blog.

At the end of the day our video has had over 300 views, which is the most we've ever gotten in a single day for any video we've ever made. I bet by the end of the weekend it will probably be over 500. Right now I'm content with the numbers. I'm just glad that Rhett and I were able to bring a smile to people's faces. I'm glad we were able to get it finished. I'm glad I was able to finish this thing even after I had to have an operation on my leg last week. (I'm still bed ridden) Wish I really could go out and celebrate being a pirate with the crew, but there's a time and place for that. My time will come. I will eventually be healed. Well there is alot more that I'll add here in the next few days. But before I go, here be our brand new Pirate Music video, it be rated ARR:

Hi,

Patrick, your pirate video seems to be good one. The characters are in video looking strong. Excellent work.
