Addict

I, Alfonso Alexander Mercado III, have an addiction.
I can’t help myself.
I do it at work.
I do it on the couch.
I do it in the bathroom.
If I don’t have time, I will make some time for it.
Sometimes I don’t get much sleep because I lose track of time doing it.
And I do not want any help because it makes me feel so good playing with it.
I, Alfonso Alexander Mercado III, am an addict of the game Words With Friends.

If you have an iPhone or an iPod touch (or an iPad), download it and play with me! my username is SoarOfTheConchords.
Keep my addiction going, please! :P

By ONE vote, my iMac will forever be known as….. SHELDON! Winning the poll with 107 votes. Ottis was in second with 106 VOTES! Thank you all for voting and helping me out! :)

In other news, I may be starting at my new work sometime this week…that’s if my friggin TRANSCRIPTS come in. I ordered them last Wednesday and still nothing. Once they come in I can start work. “Where?” you say? Well…my brother Drew is a teacher at a Los Angeles Charter school and his boss wants me to work as an instructional aide/substitute teacher, which means I’ll be helping out until a teacher needs a sub. It’s a full-time position, with benefits might I add, so I cannot complain! With this I can even do my videography on the side! Sweet deal. There’s even talk about maybe starting a film/video club at the school for me to head! :P

Also, if you’re wondering, I’m still working for Azusa’s Parks & Recreation. It’s my safety job for whenever I need hours :)

As the little chubby kid in that one commercial says, “things are llllookin’ up”

What Should My New iMac Be Named?!

Help me out! I asked you all for suggestions on what to name him, and these are the best ones!

You Still There?

Who even visits this site anymore? I mean, not that there was anyone who did in the first place, haha.

Question: If I said I were moving out of California, where do you think I would be moving to?

So the truth is out. The whole ‘having a baby’ thing was my April Fool’s joke for you all :P
I am VERY proud of myself for pulling through and being strong about not talking about it at all with anyone, answering your messages through YouTube, Facebook and MySpace. It was tough but I succeeded!
In today’s April 2nd project video, I got NUMEROUS comments saying “I KNEW IT ALL ALONG” and “YOU CAN’T FOOL ME.” Let’s get real people. You HAD to believe at least a LITTLE bit. Hell, I even believed it for a second! Haha.
If I did (and I know I did) then I have accomplished what I was set out to do!

Some things I need to talk about:
I really do appreciate all the support Amanda and I got, so if this really WAS real, I am truly greatful to have you guys and gals to help me out. I know now that I can trust you all with personal stuff, well, most of you :)
If you for some reason hate me in ANY WAY, I don’t understand why you would because it’s not like anyone has gotten hurt! It was all in fun and should not be taken to heart.

Happy April Fool’s everyone! :P

(take the poll then leave a comment saying why you picked that choice; take the poll TRUTHFULLY)

Baby Mercado

So if you are out of the loop, last Friday my girlfriend, yes I have a girlfriend, Amanda, told me that she was pregnant. I was in total shock! After a couple minutes of me just staring at the ground not saying a word, I started to smile out of nowhere. I look up and Amanda was just staring at me waiting for a response. I told her that it was going to be okay and that I will be with her 100%. We sat in her room talking about everything we had to do including telling our parents. That was a heartbeat-skipper on its own! First we told her parents. They basically did that same thing as me. I was afraid her dad was going to pull out a gun out of his back pocket but surprisingly they were really understanding! We talked with them for a couple hours and then headed to tell MY parents. Words cannot describe how I was feeling at that moment, I mean my mom said she would kill me if I ever got a tattoo! Anyway, when we told them, I was squeezing Amanda’s hand under the table. I’ve never had such sweaty palms in my LIFE. My mom cried for what seemed to be eternity. My dad was cool. The first thing he said was, “So what are we gonna call me? Gramps?” It’s the only ice breaker I’ve ever liked that my dad did!
In some of my 365 videos, someone said that we’re being to calm about this sort of situation…WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, FLIP OUT!? Sure, we didn’t PLAN for this to happen but we’re not going to beat ourselves up over something that cannot be taken back. We’re optimists who are taking this and molding it into something great. The best thing you can bring into this world is a child. I just didn’t think it would be so soon for me. Just think, in 8 1/2 months, there will be a little me (because it WILL be a boy) pooping and crying and eating and pooping and crying all over the place. I need to seriously mentally prepare myself….

Thank you for taking your time to read this. :) I have set up a poll to have YOU predict what the baby will be:

Hello beautiful people of the interweb!
Today I have some stuff to tell you. No, I’m not pregnant and no, it’s not a tumor.
There’s a new feature added to the site where you can send me a voicemail. Whether it’s just a “Heyyyy!” or something you want to tell me, give me a call at 626.768.2301. Some of you already started to send me some and they’re awesome! I’ve had a lot of lulz.

Also, if you didn’t know, aside from SoarOfTheConchords and Project 365, I started a collaboration channel with sureway (my brother), MattG124, ramillen, and alwaystextback. It’s unlike any collab channel you’ve seen! Sketch comedy. No vlogging. Each week we have an item (main ingredient) and we have to make a video either having something to do with the item or using it in any way. Basically a prop. Super fun and you should check it out! We’re almost done with week 2!

Major skidamadoo’s to you and your family!

The Mouse

SoarOfTheConchords — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:34:13 +0000

The mouse ain’t taking the friggin cheese! Take the cheese, you effing squeeker! I promise I wont eat you. It’s Ash Wednesday so I couldn’t if I wanted to.
Hello there, you beautiful specimens and happy day 1 of Lent! That sentence should not have an exclamation mark. As you might already know from my yesterday’s Project 365 video, I told you I was giving up salt. Right now I realized I didn’t eat the 3 salty things I was going to consume yesterday, so now they’re eyeballing me.
Anywho, going off topic a little bit.
The start of the post explained: I made a video (the cheese). I have set the traps (uploaded my video multiple times), but the mouse (YouTube) is being a female dog (bitch, if you didn’t get that) and not making my video public to the world.
Last night in my BlogTV show I gave you all a little piece of the song to the video and got a great response. I am anxious for you all to see it! Let’s get this damn mouse cornered! Squeek squeek, motha trucka!

Words Without the Answer

Someone needs to give you a pat on the back for thinking of “fart” as the answer for my poem. Now what I want you to do is take your hand that your patting your back with, bring it to the front, look at it, then facepalm yourself. You are absolutely wrong. I made it seem obvious but you have to look deeper!

“It happens so fast
Most of the time you never expect it
It can be deadly
Or sometimes under the table
It is natural
Everyone does it
Even though you do not want to believe it”

It’s “love,” you fartfignoogins! Get it, “fart”fignoogins…cause you guessed fart. Better luck next time, kiddos! :)
