We all know that to be a famous singer today, all you have to do is have a beat, a mic, and autotune. Well even the wolves are making music now with autotune. And if I do say so myself, they are actually pretty good! haha!

The 3rd Annual Lights Off with Austin Prime — Earth Hour Broadcast was a HUGE success! We had a great time hanging out in the dark for such a great cause!

March 23rd, 2010 is National Puppy Day! If you have a picture of your puppy, post it in the comments or tweet me and I’ll post it here!

I don't have a picture of my dog, but this is a Bichon Frise and this is how he looked when he was a puppy!

Thanks to my many contributers, I was able to make it to New York City for the Shorty Awards! By far, this was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever been able to experience… well that was a dumb sentence.

While we were there, we did so much. I was able to meet Mo’ Bounce from Z100 New York,  and get a tour of the studio which was WAY awesome!

We did so much and I wasn’t able to document it all but I did take some photos (below.)

The Shorty Awards were awesome. They were hosted by Rick Sanchez from CNN. Unfortunately, I did not win but I would like to congratulate Sesame Street and Whole Foods who tied in the category I was a finalist in. It was a great event, and it even had a Kanye West outburst! Though you can’t clearly hear what this guy is saying, he went ALL out.

Here is the full video of the Shorty Awards incase you missed it.

Today while I was searching around the web, I came across the coolest book ever! It’s a flip book that creates a 3D rainbow in your hands!

Check out their site here.

Last night (Feb 22, 2010) I got to go see LMFAO, Ludacris, and the Black Eyed Peas. It was the BEST concert that I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot! I wasn’t a huge fan of LMFAO or Ludacris, but the Black Eyed Peas made my life. Fergie was beautiful! And of course my favorite Pea, Taboo, was AMAZING.

I really loved when they played Where Is The Love. That is a classic. Very strong lyrics. But I REALLY loved when Fergie waved to me. That was… amazing!

I took so many pictures and most of them turned out crappy. These pictures aren’t that great either, but they are the best ones I took.

I recently was nominated for a Shorty Award. I finished the final round in 2nd place which is a huge accomplishment! This is just the public vote, and the winners will be announced on March 3rd in NYC.

The winners are selected by a panel of judges.

I am 17 years old, and this is HUGE. A once in a life time opportunity.

It would mean so much if I could go to this ceremony.

Now some of you may be thinking, you’re 17! Go get a job. Make some money on your own.

Well, I have a job. Unfortunately I haven’t worked in over a month now. I’m on call and I haven’t been needed recently. I’ve also been looking for another job. I’m no slacker. I’m a hard working guy.

You also may be thinking, what about your parents?

Well, my mom was laid off in 2008 and she hasn’t been able to get a stable job since then.

Thanks so much for considering making a donation. This is HUGE for me.
