I Will Grant You Three Wishes

ted_genieThis morning I woke up and found myself blessed with super natural powers. Anything I wished for suddenly became a reality. I wished for a coffee… and the lady at Starbucks handed me one. I wished for silence… and my radio broke. I wished for freedom… and looked down to see I wasn’t wearing pants.

Amazing? Yes.

I am pretty much like a genie… but I hope I smell better than a genie because I imagine genies smell pretty bad from being couped in a bottle for so long. Anywho – I want to share my powers with you. Simply leave a comment on this post with your three wishes and I will do my best to grant them.

    I wish for warmer weather, because I’m tired of being cold all of the time.

    I wish for $100, because it’ll mean the difference between my electric bill getting paid on time, and not getting paid on time. Heh.

    I wish for this annoying papercut on my finger to hurry up and heal!

    I wish for an exciting job suited to my talents – like being a personal photographer to families at Disney who are on special occasion trips.

    I wish for iPads for the whole family (Eva too :-)

    I wish for an extra hour a day sort of a time pocket between 5:30pm and 5:31pm where I go to a different plane of existence where I can have time to myself to just brainstorm ideas free of any and all distractions.

    1) I wish I was a little bit taller.

    2) I wish I was a baller.

    3) I wish I had a girl who looked good (I would call her.)

    I am so glad that your wishes were granted. My wishes are:
    1 – to be famous for at least one whole day ….opps I had better take that one back or I might end up on the evening news.
    2 – to have at least one of my blogs have a regular readership of 500+ people a day
    3 – that is enough of the fantasy wishes and this one is a reality check….I would really like to replace my old 170K mile car with a new one.

    Now where is that magic bottle with the Genie in it?

    Hello Ted,

    Do your best all powerful Genie! Can you do it?

    Wish#1 I’m local and I think what you are doing in our industry is awesome. I wanted to stop in and visit Izea on Thursday and would like the opportunity to meet the guy that started all this. Do you maybe have 2 minutes to meet in person?

    Wish #2 An Izea shirt could be cool.

    Wish #3 A taco maybe… I hear you guys have an open door invitation to clean out the fridge.

    See you Thursday? or if Friday is better, let me know when works for you. Thanks.

    2. I wish for a virtual assistant to help me keep on top of all emails, posts, and tasks every day

  20. Adam White said on May 13th, 2010 at 4:10 pm

    Ted,

    Thanks for granting my wish. It was a pleasure meeting you and Izea is a very cool place. I look forward to the launch and maybe grabbing a frosty mug and some conversation soon. Sounds like a lot of fun and very exciting for this company. I hope you appreciated a small demonstration of a little ingenuity and the point in a unique delivery today as an exercise. Perhaps you will give some consideration to the information I left with you. But either way, I really am glad to get to know you personally and hope we meet again. You guys do some fun activities socially and are a fun group that I would like to get involved with at any level. Thanks for the 2 minutes Genie. Perhaps we can connect next week.

    Warm regards,

    Adam White
