Talk You Up


As a younger man, newly friended in Orlando, Florida, I had a vision. It happened while at work one day whilst watching a fellow employee zone out with his earphones on. We could not harass him or offer up our professional, unsolicited critique of his design work. We hated that we weren't able to communicate the way we felt we needed to. We thus began wondering what it was that this designer was listening to to drown out our incessant whining and sarcastic jokes. I suggested he was listening to a recording of a pleasant voice repeating words of encouragement over and over. It was right then I envisioned such an audible friend. One you could load up n the iPod or Discman or even a Walkman if you were so inclined.

I set out with the help of some friends to record this pick-me-up. What it produced is a very excruciating three and some odd seconds recording of myself (heavily influenced by Ron Burgundy) reading out words of encouragement.
Recently I was going through junk and found my original handwritten list of reasons you rule. I have decided to make this recording public and include the album artwork, liner notes, and the mp3's for your listening pleasure.

Enjoy being talked up!
