NOTICE: Due to “popular demand” and @glowstars suggestion, and because we’re having so much fun, we are extending the time for you to post your “Embarrassing Moment Testimony” till next friday (30/04/10) to give time for more people to join the fun! The winner (S????) will be announced on Monday (03/05/10) so go on, tell everyone and keep’em coming!
I am a person that is very difficult to make embarrass. Not even if drunk (not that I ever drink enough to get drunk…). I was asking The Wife this morning if she remembers be even getting embarrassed since we met. She said she couldn’t remember any time I ever showed myself to be embarrassed (apart from one time where I allegedly pissed our bed… which I sincerely don’t remember ever happening…).
The fact is that I can’t remember any stories that make me feel embarrassed just to think of it. Not even photos from when I was a kid embarrass me. You can say that I am shameless…
I started to think about that during a conversation on twitter between me, @MeTheManAndBaby, @YoungMummyUk and @jon_stead who told us a story that made all of the involved laugh for the rest of the evening (look them up on twitter!!!!). The story was all about a time when poor @MeTheManandBaby had to have her trousers hoisted by a stranger in the supermarket and said she would only tell the story in details on a most embarrassing moment meme.
So, encouraged by @youngmummyuk I am setting up this meme chalenge thing in motion.
RT @urbanvox: @YoungMummyUk l wont be at #cybermummy so she (@MeTheManAndBaby ) can’t beat me up… should I start it????
Your most embarrassing moment EVER!!!
Now… here are the ground rules that must be followed:
1 – Grab the banner bellow and plug it on your blog post pointing it to this post (The One Where I Start a Meme)
2- Post the “experience” in as many details as you can remember then get back here and leave a comment with a link to your entry.
3- You’ve got between today and Saturday the 24th of April to submit your entry
4 – The Winner will be the one with the funniest/most embarrassing story as decided by the jury panel (consisted of me and @glowstars ATM… ) and will receive a framed PhotoArt illustrating the the “incident”. Yours to keep and and cherish and hang to the wall and look at it to remember to not take the life too seriously all the time, after all we only live once!!! 
If you are too much of a wuss to hang it on the wall I can send it to you as a digital copy… hehehehe
BTW… you already win the Laughing Chimp Award award by being courageous enough to participate, just plug it to your blog. ;)
In case you are wondering… PhotoArt is one of my new Photography Products. It involves a Photoshoot on White BG that is then used as canvass for arty stuff. Quite funky!!! And it would usually cost about £60.00 but it can be yours for free!!! All you need to do is supply me with pictures of yourself and if possible the people involved on the incident (Or if you live in London we can arrange a session , I’ve got a portable studio Kit and can take it to you or you can come to our place and we have some fun with the camera).
I’ll talk more about the PhotoArt stuff in another post.
Meanwhile, let the shameless contest of embarrassing things begin!!!
Zya!

I know I am not a christmassy person and I know you know how much I loathe everything Christmas…
But I am actually kinda happy this year! Nope… not because of the festivities or whatever.. but because the new CWI Hub will actually be open BEFORE Christmas! At least is what the builders reckon!
ME BE VERY POSITIVE AND WITH HOPES UP!!!
So to celebrate there GREAT NEWS… I have decided to give one of you a nice Christmas present!
I have in my possession a £40.00 WineBank voucher for Virgin Wines that MUST be used before the year is over. And I am going to be giving it away to one of the lucky people that will be commenting in this post!
The rules are simple:
1 – Leave me a comment telling your worst/funniest/most outrageous drunk story ever! And I wants details!
2 – Only one comment is valid for each person… here’s the catch: I’ve had installed for a while in the blog a video/audio comments plugin… and I seem to be the only one to use the thing… sooo… as an incentive… video comments have triple chance on the draft. Audio comments have double chance and written comments get just the single one.
Fair enough???
comments will be closed on Monday 08.12.08 at 5pm (GMT) and I will announce the winner on the M Word the same day.
time’s ticking away… so what u waiting for! ?!?!?!
I can’t wait to hear your stories!!
zya!
I’ve been nominated on Bloggers Choice Awards ’09 at the Best Religion Blog category!!!
My first though was: “WTF???? The last thing I ever blog about is religion (unless it has to do with my mother… but even then it is about our latest brawls…)!!”
At first I thought Vic had to be joking… and then she e-mailed me with the response as to why she made the nomination: “well you’re a pastor so I figure it covers religion too – that was the best job-related category I could come up with I think you should talk more about your faith on the blog – it would add another dimension to it.”
Well… before I regain my train of thought I need to clarify something… YES… I am an ordained minister and yes I do have the “Rev”. Title in front of my name in most documents since last year… and yes… I was the pastor of a failed attempt of a church in London (even though because of this failed attempt in London I mentor pastors in 3 different states in Brazil with a combined number of members of about 500 people, and because of that I am in the fast track to become a bishop…), BUT… I also happen to be considered by a hell of a lot of pastors of at least 6 denominations as heretic and as what we Christians call “lost”.
Why that??? Because I was always curious… and inquisitive… and I NEVER ever believed on something just because someone told me so… And let’s put it like that… I can prove for A+B that most things many pastors preach about are wrong just by pointing it on the same bible they claim to follow…
But I won’t get into the merit of that…
The fact is that I am on a journey to discover just WHO is YHWH (“I am” as the bible says in Exodus) and in that I am discovering more of who I AM!!
Other thing you need to understand is that I come from a family that is fundamentally Christian for the 3rd generation and I am part of a 2nd generation of ministers… My mother is a bishop… father is a worship minister, have cousins and uncles and aunts that are missionaries and pastors… And for them to learn of my “journey” and the things I have been finding on it has been a HUGE shock for most of them… not that most of them will ever consider leaving mainstream Christianity, and most of them will NEVER give years to reason…
Let’s say that at some point in my life I got tired to get lied to… and I am in search of the truth… And believe it or not… the truth can be found in many more places than you think possible!
I might be “lost”… but I am trying to find myself… and I think this is why I have been refusing to take my own church ahead and have decided just to mentor other people… in private… shared learning… And if I ever become head of a church again it will be to preach things I actually believe in for a change… In that I am VERY proud of at least 2 of my disciples who are pastors in Brazil.
I think being a Christian is a lot more than just going to church… Hell… Jesus was the BIGGEST humanist I have ever heard of! and if we have HIM to aspire to be like… then we have TOO MUCH to change in ourselves.
I have made mistakes… and those mistakes came with a price… And one of the costs of it all was my wife losing her faith… she was part of what used to give me strength to be on this journey… Now I have been struggling to find strength of my own for it… but I’ll get there… and if she wants some day to embark on the journey with me it will be great! But I know that right now she has to fight her own battle on that… so I let it be… that’s a decision she has to make on her own…
I think I’ve spoken enough of religion for today (that considering that I believe religiosity to be the rut of all evil!!!)!!!
So I am adding a new category to this Blog!
it is called “For the Journey”! and on it I’ll report on my finds here and then… Not going to be something very constant as atm I have more in my hands than I can chew… and I have to confess that I am struggling even to get started in the mornings… so imagine to get involved in research again… but I think I have a good idea of what I am looking for now. Never forgetting what they say… living and learning!
I am an open box (that one’s for you David!! )!
zya!!!
So…
Here’s the deal… I’ve got this new template and all… and the coolest thing about it the header carousel.
The way it works is that every time someone loads a page on the blog this person gets a different one of the 10 options available .
The problem is that me being me have no time to design all the 10 different headers… 
Because of that I am counting on you, to help me out on that… No… you don’t need to be a master designer to do it… you don’t even need to send me the whole project ready if you don’t know how, you can draw it in a sheet of paper and scan/photograph it and send it to me, if your idea for the header makes it to the Top 10 I’ll make it digital (although if you can/know how to get it internet worthy… well feel free to do so!!!) just free your inner child, get CREATIVE!
The rules are simple:
- Design a header for my blog (the size should be 860X296px (5.94”X2.04”In)) and send it to pimpmyblog@urbanvox.net until 26/11/08.
- Place this badge somewhere on your site
- The theme is ALL THINGS URBAN, but if you know me a bit better and/or have been following urbanvox.net for a while, then you can do something related with the blog’s content, me, living la vida loca, etc etc etc
- I will publish the artworks on the site as I receive them but voting will be available only between 26/11/08 and 30/11/08. And the winner will be revealed on The M Word Webcast on 01/12/08.
- You can submit more than 1 design if you feel creative enough!
- The top 10 designs (as elected by you and anyone else you can recruit… so spread the word! Tell your mum, dad, son, pet, etc etc to come along and vote) will be displayed on the header of urbanvox.net with credits and all, and their designer will win exclusive urbanvox.net badges like this one
top 10 badge
- The one voted NUMBER ONE will get a goodies bag with some cool prezzies inside and a badge like that one
First prize badge
to show off in your website.
Simple enough uh?!?!?!?!?!
So what on Earth are you waiting for??? I NEED a new header and the prezzies won’t win themselves! (lol)
GIVE IT A SHOT!!!!
zya!
