Traveling once in the USA, I saw this by the side of the road….

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Once, driving through a part of New England in the USA, where everything was rural and green and generally bucolic, I most unexpectedly came upon this:

Matches – “Charlie’s Grill”

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012



In my continuing series of videos on matches I have kept over the years, and then pick out of this bag some years later, and then remember, recreate, imagine, what I can from the matchbook.


This one I imagine is rather romantic, and now I am adding storytelling touches that were not there in previous matches stories.

TagWhat & Vincent Eaton’s videos

Thursday, February 9th, 2012



Towards the end of 2011, a fairly new online company called TagWhat that describe themselves as “The mobile encyclopedia of where you are” contacted me. An attentive Multimedia Content Producer there liked my videos I call “Matches” and they wanted to collaborate. The company develops and runs a located-based App for mobile devices, the idea being that when you are somewhere in the world and want to know a little about a very specific place, you can call up a story of that location using their app to look and listen to. They’ve been covered by the Wall Street Journal, AP, Mashable, and is a People’s Choice Award Winner.


After some back and forth, my “Matches” series of memory videos became part of TagWhat’s mobile encyclopedia.


This seems to be an example of what is called, “Slowly getting one’s words and stories out there one small discovery by small exposure at a time….”


And if you want to have an actual look-listen at my Matches series of videos to see what they see, you can have get to them by clicking here.


So, hey, stuff happens,

A video of my story RED BALL

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012



A couple of years ago I posted a short-short story called Red Ball, which became rather popular and got comments like “breathtaking” and “This is great. Really creepy!” and “YES! Creepy… for sure.” and “Creepy is the word! Especially the 4th corner.” You can read the original story here.


Now I have gone and made a short video of it. I narrate it. You can see it by clicking on this sentence.


That’s it. Thanks for coming by. V+

FUNNY HAHA about HOW TO FIND YOURSELF (or a reasonable facsimile)

Friday, December 9th, 2011



See my latest video right here, right now CLICK CLICK CLICK HERE HERE HERE….


Might have noticed. Christmas time. I’m in hustle mode. I made another video, about my How To book. It’s jokey! It’s short. It’s for all those people you care about…even those you don’t. What am I saying, slow person? BUY THIS BOOK for friends/family/enemy/guru/neighbor/alien entities. Whoever. Whatever. Buy forever.


GO HERE to see and hear more — and buy–print or ebooks!


Main Idea:
The aim of this book is to supply readers with practical examples and helpful hints as to how to spot, understand, and instill a real sense of self in your innermost being. Yeah, really. This book’s contents should lead readers with a more practical self-knowledge, peace of mind, spiritual nurturing, fuzzy thinking, and strange sexual longings you really should just keep to yourself.

Matches – Scandic

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011



I went to this Brussels restaurant. I indulged therein. Leaving, I pocketed their matchbox. This 2:01 minute video tells the wondrous story. Of adventure and true, vivid gourmet deluxe.


It is one in an ongoing series that perhaps has no end.

Thanks for reading & seeing. – Vincent

Video of the illustrated version of my humor book “How to Find Yourself (or a reasonable facsimile)”

Thursday, October 20th, 2011




First there was my “How to find yourself (or a reasonable facsimile)”—-now there comes the real live super exciting mind-blowing not nearly over-hyped enough ILLUSTRATED VERSION of this classic that’s only been around a year or two (in its non-illustrated version).


So I made a video about it. To give my massive fan base a slurpy mouth-watering idea of the laughs and joy and the by god sheer freshness and marketing adjective marketing adjective marketing adjective so that each and every one of you and you and you won’t be able to contain yourselves and go buy one. Or two. Or more. For friends, relatives and those smarter, more upmarket pets of yours.



Buy
the ebook
or
print book



Oh, and see the video. Of course. Click here to view it and bring a little joy in your flippant modern day heart.


Thanks for reading to this discursive advertising message that wasn’t.


I’m done here for now.
