Hello, I am Joe Castagna, I am an aspiring journalist living in south FL. I write about a wide range of subjects including music, popular culture, women, social media, and observations on how my non-techie friends use the social web. I also post about my personal experiences, downfalls, epiphanies and tragic moments. You can also find all the pictures I send from my phone here. Below is a large variety of ways you can connect and get into contact with me. And don’t forget to follow me on twitter! a.soundcloud-dropbox:hover {color: #1896D1 !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-position: -200px 0 !important;}*html a.soundcloud-dropbox {background-image: none !important; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=’(http://a1.soundcloud.com/images/dropbox_square_white.png?063dda)’, sizingMethod=’crop’) !important;}/* if you want to have valid HTML, please be so kind and put the style part in the head of your page */ Send me your track hit it JoeCastagna (a) gmail (dot) com TAGS Tumblr (3.0; @ydek)http://ydek.tumblr.com/<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UqlrnR4jg3A&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UqlrnR4jg3A&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqlrnR4jg3A&feature=youtube_gdata" target="_blank">Qik - Mobile video by joecastagna</a></p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/237606131http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/237606131Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:36:05 -0500<img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksounotBA01qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Working it</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/234922043http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/234922043Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:57:27 -0500<img src="http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kslw5sk8ny1qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Two hours of doodleing</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/233255717http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/233255717Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:37:09 -0500<a href="http://emailsfromcrazypeople.com/2009/11/02/how-very-tactful/">Just check this out it's outrageous </a>: <p>OK this is one of the most hilarious things I HAVE EVER SEEN</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/233145351http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/233145351Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:13:16 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2vTY8KEKlmI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2vTY8KEKlmI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://forresttalley.tumblr.com/post/233030783/crystal-antlers-andrew" target="_blank">forresttalley</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>crystal antlers - andrew</p> </blockquote>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/233143432http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/233143432Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:10:41 -0500<img src="http://19.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kslkhwGY791qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/feedburner/oicv/~3/jKrst0txDjY/227999160" target="_blank">TGIF.

I am hell bent on doing at least one blog post a day (on any of my blogs), something that I have not been doing for sometime now. I keep saying to my self that I don’t have time to write anymore, but the fact is I need to learn to make time. I’m an aspiring journalist here for Christ sake and I can’t even keep a running blog going? I can at least do something on here, even if it is a crappy post about nothing in particular it still helps me get into a routine of writing.</p> <p>I feel like i have been reading about blogging and journalism so much but not participating in my craft what so ever. I know what I should be doing but I am not doing it. This needs to end right now.</p> <p>Much like my micromanagement of notebooks, where I feel I have to write the right things in the right notebook, I am just going to write and figure out where to put it later. I have multiple blogs but which one I post to is not really that big of a deal. The only decision I have to make is weather I want people to know it is me who is posting, and if the answer is NO then it goes to my anonymous blog.</p> <p>When I have an idea it just needs to be written ASAP no more of this figuring out the logistics of everything, where I am going to put it, who I think is going to read it, weather it is good or not. The brick wall I have been building is going to come down.</p> <p>Hopefully I go trough with all this. I don’t see why not.</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/231441767http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/231441767Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:33:33 -0500<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghptH4s51qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0161.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232897http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232897Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:37:10 -0500<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghpnmtZn1qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0157.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232800http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232800Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:37:04 -0500<img src="http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghpmNQJI1qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0156.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232797http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232797Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:37:03 -0500<img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghphc7oa1qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0153.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232733http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232733Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:36:58 -0500<img src="http://2.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghp7q20t1qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0152.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232579http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232579Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:36:47 -0500<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghp0Uo311qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0118.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232506http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232506Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:36:41 -0500<img src="http://13.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghoztaWz1qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0151.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232486http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232486Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:36:39 -0500<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksghotbNZl1qz8rp7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IMG_0111.JPG</p>http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232419http://ydek.tumblr.com/post/230232419Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:36:34 -0500
