Do you have any routines or habits that kick in before you sit down and type?

    Where’s the Unsubscribe or Dislike button?

    But seriously, I have one of those page-a-day calendars that I read before I do anything. That’s about it.

    • Jody Ferrell September 27, 2010 at 10:25 AM #

      Sorry for the double post. Screwy interweb this morning.

  8. Ben Reed September 27, 2010 at 10:19 AM #

    I was just about to subscribe to your new blog, John…

    No, I don’t have any habits before I sit down and write. Because my inspiration comes at random times, I just always make sure to capture ideas when they happen. When I sit down, I start compiling ideas.

    • John Saddington September 27, 2010 at 11:38 AM #

      just sit and run? not bad.

  9. Suzanne September 27, 2010 at 10:20 AM #

    Genius. Just genius! Thanks for the smile!

    • John Saddington September 27, 2010 at 11:39 AM #

    • Danny Bixby September 27, 2010 at 11:49 AM #

      What a sad week. bahaha ;)

  11. Marcus Williamson September 27, 2010 at 10:24 AM #

    Wow man! Never would have guessed, lol! Good stuff. I usually listen to POWER by Kanye West. Not the whole thing just part of it.

  12. Brian Notess September 27, 2010 at 10:45 AM #

    You’re living the Teenage Dream…?

    • John Saddington September 27, 2010 at 11:39 AM #

      yes. that is correct.

      ;)

  13. Ben September 27, 2010 at 10:55 AM #

    Wow!

    • John Saddington September 27, 2010 at 11:39 AM #

      you know you do it too.

  14. Danny Bixby September 27, 2010 at 11:57 AM #

    People can say what they want, but you obviously have some skills.

    Have you considered that maybe you’re in the wrong profession?

    haha

    • John Saddington September 27, 2010 at 12:22 PM #

      … hah.

  15. Greg September 27, 2010 at 12:03 PM #

    My trainer tells me I need to fit more activity into my day at my desk. Now, I have something I can work with.

    Thanks, John!

      hha……. or embarrassed.

  18. Bill September 27, 2010 at 1:08 PM #

    No wonder my days have been starting off slow, I have left out the morning dance routine. I am excited to watch this blog as it develops. I am in the learning mode.

    • John Saddington September 28, 2010 at 12:00 AM #

      great! never stop learning. that’s a personal mantra.

  19. JC September 27, 2010 at 2:07 PM #

    Awesome! Definitely doing this. John you rock!

    • John Saddington September 27, 2010 at 4:05 PM #

      thanks buddy!

  20. Daniel Decker September 27, 2010 at 6:24 PM #

    Wow. You go on with yo bad self. :)

    THAT should be the Catalyst opener. A little pre-event insanity.

    Can only go up from here. Haha.

    • John Saddington September 28, 2010 at 12:00 AM #

      that is a dangerous request……

  21. Phil September 27, 2010 at 8:13 PM #

    Haha This Video and Song reminds me of that 15 Year Old kid on YouTube. =)

    • John Saddington September 27, 2010 at 11:59 PM #

      yeah. pretty close.

  22. Randy Kinnick September 27, 2010 at 10:42 PM #

    hahaha…thanks for the smile! You rock, bro…definitely got some moves!! =)

    For me it’s either a cup of coffee, a work out or a run. However, I’m more of a spontaneous blogger. Less routine and more capture the moment.

    • John Saddington September 28, 2010 at 12:00 AM #

      capturing the moment is just as good!

  23. mandythompson September 29, 2010 at 6:20 PM #

    FANTASTIC song choice, John. Simply brilliant!!! hahaa Surprised you didn’t blow out a hip or something, though!

    • John Saddington September 29, 2010 at 10:51 PM #

      who said i didn’t……? ;)

  24. Trevor Taylor September 29, 2010 at 9:59 PM #

    Now I know the secret to blogging success.

    • John Saddington September 29, 2010 at 10:51 PM #

  25. Greg October 12, 2010 at 8:27 AM #

    I showed your video to the director of Healthy Charleston Challenge (http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/hsc/programs/challenge/challenge08.html) and her interns created this in response. Thanks for the inspiration.

    • John Saddington October 12, 2010 at 8:33 AM #

  26. RentMyChurch.com October 12, 2010 at 10:11 AM #

    OMG! I thought “spirit fingers” was an urban legend but no its alive and kicking in the world of tentblogger – you might have a chance on “So You Think You Can Dance – Blogger Style”….I would vote for you!

    • John Saddington October 12, 2010 at 9:24 PM #

      hahahah!

  27. John Wilkerson October 12, 2010 at 8:37 PM #

    What to say, what to say…. hmmm…
    well, good relationship of music to dance, i can see the music played an important role in the excellent composition. good choreography, good rhythm, great overall use of space, loved the song. Nice scenic design and excellent lighting. i like how you covered the dance floor and brought us into your artform. :)
    yah, this is gonna go viral. Thanks for my morning laugh!
