#RunningIsEw @jimmyfallon

How many of you have watched The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon?  Well, if you haven't, Jimmy does a skit every now and then called "Ew!"  Here is an example for you:


I was talking to my sister the other day, and she is a major runner.  In fact, she and some of her girl friends are training to do a relay marathon together.  Together they created a Twitter account, with the name @RunningIsEw.  They are posting pictures each day of them running and tagging (I don't know if that is the correct terminology or not) Jimmy Fallon in an effort to be on a segment of "Ew!"  
I'm not sure why they are doing this exactly, and I'm not entirely sure how far it has gone.  But, if you are interested in helping them get on the #TonightShow with @jimmyfallon, use #RunningIsEw and start following them.

How many of you have wanted your own "5 minutes of fame?"  It is amazing how technology and the media can help us with that.  Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't - but the fact of the matter is, we can use the media to do crazy, out-of-the-box things; things that maybe we never imagined before.

What are some of your goals?  Do you want to meet someone famous?  Do you want to conquer a fear, like my friend Courtney (check this out: Ingrid's Challenge)?  How can we - YOU - use the media to help you achieve a goal or a life-long dream?  Media can be meaningful resource for us in achieving the goals and dreams that we have.  Let's work on the "tricky balance" of combining the two, for there is a way to reach what may seem impossible.

  1. I think that's awesome! We can use the media to accomplish our goals! I've never thought of that before, but it is so true. I love it. I also think it's interesting how guys in comedy have pretended to be girls and dressed up like them to be funny for many years now and it never gets old! Classic Jimmy.

    1. Isn't it crazy to think about how far a message can go with help from the media? Take anything really, like the #ALSIceBucketChallenge; they had a goal, and it was reached with help from us - the consumers! Goals can be achieved with help from the media. Thanks for your comment!
