I Want You Back – Jackson Five
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on Jun 29, 2008
The day my dad left for Vietnam is 1969 is the same day that the Jackson Five showed up on the Ed Sullivan Show performing I Want You Back. To this day, it’s my favorite song ever. I told my wife that if I ever go into a coma, this is the song, along with the rest of the Jackson Five collection, to play if she ever hopes I wake up.
So, without any further adieu, I present the Jackson Five:
Never Saw It Coming

Sometimes you see something where else that only posting a trackback won’t do. Instead, I’m going to post this little humorous video for you and also give props to the Virtual Voyage blog I first saw it at (which has now been discontinued). If this doesn’t make you laugh or feel good, you’ve lost your funny bone:
The Truth Behind The Oil Crisis
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on May 14, 2008
I’m not usually a conspiracy theory kind of guy, but sometimes a guy comes along with a delivery and a message that’s just so compelling that you want to share it.
Lindsey Williams is the author of the book “The Energy Non-Crisis“, and he seems to have been an inadvertent insider, of sorts, on some of the conversations about oil and it’s future way back in the early 70′s, around the time that the Alaskan pipeline was just starting to make a name for itself. He’s a former preacher who undertook a goal of becoming a counselor for the men who worked on the pipeline, and was invited to become a non paid board member, where he heard some of the most amazing stuff. It bothered him greatly, and thus he’s made it his crusade to tell the world, or at least the United States, what’s going on, and offers his own opinion as to what needs to be done about it, but why it won’t be done.
I was fascinated by it, and I have to admit that parts of it are hard to swallow. But he’s got some proof, and that’s more than most conspiracy theorists have, so everyone can watch this and make up their own minds. It’s kind of long, so either watch it in chunks, or watch just the first five minutes and make a decision off that. But if you actually make it through the whole thing, well, it will give you lots of stuff to think about.
As a teaser, there’s supposedly a good chance that, before it’s all over, we could see gas prices between $6 and $8 a gallon; that’s worth watching this bad boy.
I Wish I Could Do The Beat Box
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on May 11, 2008
How many folks remember the early days of rap when one of the most popular members of rap group was the guy who could do the beat box?
For those of you who don’t remember, or aren’t hip to this, the beat box guy was the one who made all the sounds that sounded like, well, whatever he wanted them to sound like. Some guys could make themselves sound like record scratching; some sounded just like drums. Some could sound like other instruments; it really didn’t matter. They helped keep the beat when music wasn’t available, and then they would carry it over when there was some music later on. These guys were essential for adding a whole heap of flavor to the beat, and it probably made some groups like The Fat Boys viable in the industry.
Well, a blog post from The Assimilated Negro titled More Beatbox Assimilation; Where Da Ladies At has captured a nice cross section of current masters and challengers to the throne. I thought it was better to link to his blog rather than post them all here.
And, though I once referenced the song in another post on this blog, why not share the real thing, right? So, below, here’s Push It:
A PC Sense Of Deja Vu
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on May 7, 2008
Wow, talk about your weird senses of deja vu. My wife and I were just talking yesterday about this video made by some kid last year where he was crying about the treatment Britney Spears was getting from the media for her, uhhh, aberrant behavior. We were discussing it because there’s talk that this kid is possibly going to be offered some kind of reality TV deal; talk about having one’s 15 minutes extended into 30.
Well, now there’s this, which isn’t exactly the same thing, but it’s pretty close. I read about it on John Chow’s Blog today, and I thought it would be neat to, for once, possibly be on the forefront of a viral video campaign.
And so I bring you “Leave PC Alone!”
I'm Just Sharing is where I share my thoughts on internet marketing, writing, blogging and many other things. You never know what I'll be posting on. So keep coming back, read, enjoy, and buy something! ;)
