The kindness of fellow bloggers never ceases to amaze me, especially when it comes to anything viral. In this case, I’m talking about something I got from Tom Nardone, who, in addition to being a hilarious and insightful writer, is a giving person. In fact, he gave me this highly infectious book promo video. Being a decent person, he called me all the way from South Carolina to let me know the infection is spreading. After finding this out, and because I’m not sure if this will be covered under America’s new health care, I felt an obligation to let all of you know.
That said, you can have yourself checked out by clicking here.

Ned's Blog 
As I mentioned on Tom’s channel — that was awesome. The music choice was perfecto. Still laughing. 😀 I’m looking forward to reading your book. Again, congratulations.
Victoria
Thanks, Victoria 🙂
It was totally unexpected. He left a message on my Facebook with a link and the words “You’re Gonna Love This!”
He was right — very cool.
And thanks for the congrats, Victoria 😉
— Ned
Ned, I’m psyched for you. I’ve no doubt your book will be a success. I plan to spread the word including the video. Rarely do I send out mass email, but times like this call for it.
Wow, I’m very flattered, Victoria — Thank You 😉
Thanks Victoria. What I did for Ned Hickson is not anything that any blogger with balls of steel wouldn’t do for a friend who has achieved such a milestone achievement. Ned is himself a giver perhaps more so than most of his followers are aware. Your own kindness is not lost on me and I thank you for the words.
Hi Tom, thanks so much for taking the time to comment. You nailed it about Ned being a giver. I’ve only recently discovered his blog and I’m smitten by his generosity — a giver of his time and knowledge, even to total strangers. Yet he never makes you feel like a stranger, but part of the family. I love that.
You are quite the giver yourself. =) Hope your holidays are awesome, and Happy New Year..
~Victoria
It pays to have friends in high places! That was the best promo I’ve ever seen – kudos to Mr. Nardone 🙂 Thank you for your service, Ned. American loves you!
Haha! Thanks, Colleen 🙂
It was quite a surprise, and a real honor for him to take time to put that together. And a little frightening…
colleensprose,
Thanks, I have enjoyed exchanging comments and puns with ned for quite sometime and i just had this impusle and could not get it out ofmy head
Thanks
Tom,
You are very welcome. My first book is LONG off, but I’m keeping you in the back of my mind as the #1 book promoter when it’s done! 🙂
Colleen
Very clever. Congratulations on the book.
Thanks, Sean — I appreciate that.
Hi there! I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award.
http://littlewritelies.com/2013/12/05/versatile-blogger-award/
Whether or not you choose to display the award, I want to commend you on your great blogging. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much, Sean! I’m very flattered and appreciative 😉
loved it
Me too. I especially liked how he built it around factual events in my life that I have been to humble to talk about.
like the mark of any good director worth his salt, (hitchcock, allen, anderson, polanski), this one had nardone written all over it.
Don’t forget Irwin Shaw (Airport ’77, Earthquake…)
I know Tom!
The question is, will he acknowledge that we know him?
The answer is ‘yes’.
After talking with him for an hour or so last night, I concur. Good man. Good heart. Would make a bad politician.
Horrible politician.
We should be so lucky.
Tom nardone here. I hereby publicly acknowledge I know and love chowderheads.
This was the first time I ever ‘liked’ a video on youtube. Thank you for introducing me to Tom Nardone’s blog. He’s pretty ff’ing funny!
Tom is a terrific human being with a truly unique perspective and writing voice. And perhaps most impressively, he has learned to live his life on his own term despite having a Southern accent….
That IS impressive;)
There is nothing wrong with a Southern accent, except, well, everything.
I have to say, in all seriousness, a female Southern accent has the same affect on me that a British or Australian accent has on most women. Although I’ve never screamed and fainted.
That’s because you haven’t heard me talk. Work out your vocal chords buddy, and get ready to scream.
*begins singing notes on scale*
I do not have a southern accent. I think Ned was drinking and he heard what he wanted to hear. People everyday ask me where I am from because I don’t have a southern accent. Just for the record.
Trust me, Tom — as someone who lived for 10 years in the South, it’s slight but it’s there. It’s just more defined when I’ve been drinking…
Agree to disagree (but you’re wrong)
HaHa! I can live with thayat…
I spoke in a video post damn you and there was no southern accent. I am Tom Nardone and if I had a southern accent it would therefore be awesome. I am the embodiment of awesomeness. I just happen not to have a southern accent Ned. Don’t make me embarrass you in front if your friends. 🙂
Without question, you ARE AWESOME, Tom!
(I don’t care how you talk…) 😉
ok good now check your fb messages
Geez, all I did was pee “Buy Ned’s Book” into a urinal cake at McDonalds.
Is your book as good as Tom’s promo?
Every little, tiny bit helps.
And nothing’s as good as Tom’s promo…
I agree with that. Tom’s promo is primo.
I’m still trying to figure out how you wrote my name on a urinal cake. It must’ve either been a really big cake or a really small…
Oh…OK — I get it now.
Oh hell yes Tom Nardone – and hell yes Ned Hickson. Group hug!!!!!! And I’m going to buy the book immediately. XO all around : )
Awe shucks, Thanks Molly!!
Thanks Molly.
…..holy —-…..you look like George Cloony!
Great job! I can’t wait to read!!
I get that a lot… the book part, I mean.
…well actually i meant, when you came all up in that spaceship suit…i was like…SHUT UP! well…really…the first one with the sunglasses. Maybe it was the music. I was digging it…i had adminstrators all in here droolin…and then I was like..GET OUT…BUT YOU CAN BUY THE BOOOOOKKKKK….
Lisa hahaha I am dying laughing, what an amazing comment. Nice to know you did not alienate any one from being a “Ned Head”.
Oh tom. You did an Fantastic job!! I was all into you being man enough to say you loved Ned Hickson. That right there was EPIC.
SO I followed suit via twitter and expressed my love as well.
I wanna be viral. Like…Sandra bullock.
Dang. I’d beg of you to do me….but that might come across as way wrong tom……way wrong. 😀
You should not be embarrassed to ask me to do you. I often have this affect on women.
And there is no need to beg. I will help you Lisa J Sawyer.
Well by all means. Make me viral and immune to all things other than Sandra and Julia Roberts. You have your work cut out for you. 😉.
This will take many years of your life span. Thank you tom. Thank you.
I think it was actually Jesse James who had the viral issue. Or if he didn’t, I’m sure he does by now.
…you know…I thought about puttng myself out there on Groupon. viral speaking….(its been awhile…should it tell that?)
I could do it with your book? Dont know how well your book would sell…… tom?
I thought Groupon was a swingers website?
If it weren’t…..it might be now….
Hahaha! I’m going to attribute it to how good I look in a space suit, and the influence of Jimmy Hendrix. But if it sells books… 😉
….the women were drooling…I was like…GET OUTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! but…here is where you can order your personal copy. TOLD ya I could sell your book.
Giving thanks to Tom for the remarkable youtube.
I want him as my friend…so when I face congress…oh yeah…or not. I just want to be viral….it cant hurt my chances of finding a man.
Being a woman, and viral, will definitely give you a leg up in finding a man…
…..about that viral thing…..and groupon….I could give out for a discount rate. Tis the season!
You might want to change the name to Grip-on.
OH the benefits!
I knew it! Underneath that Clark Kent image…..
Congratulations from your number one groupie, looking forward to reading all about your heroic thoughts and zingers.
Lol! Thanks 😉
Heroic thought No. 1: “Boy, do I love raspberry Zingers.”
It’s funny how astronauts always have heads too big for their bodies! 😉
It gets worse — you should see me in a toga…
EPIC. So much epic. Oozing epicness.
Great job, Tom, and CONGRATS, Ned!!! *runs to stalk Tom and buy Ned’s book*
xoxo
Yeah, that was SO cool and a total surprise when he sent me the link. My family totally cracked up. And my wife asked me to dress as an astronaut before coming to bed.
And no need to run, Beth. I’m sure Tom will wait for you to catch up 😉
Thanks so much bethteliho. You would not know this about me so i will just tell you. I am awesome
Everybody knows that, Tom 😉
