The Porltand Naked Bike Ride, Prelude

THE BLACKOUT IS OVER

When I arrived as the only trusted media member to photograph the Portland Naked Bike Ride there was and AP photographer who did not have the trusted badge of pink to show that he had gone through proper channels to gain access to the PRIVATE area being used for people to prepare.

He had already set up a photo booth and was preparing to photograph a woman who had absolutely no idea what the point of the ride really was.

I was astounded that he was there all set up and ready to use his AP credentials to exploit the nudity of people who were there to have fun, make a point and had no idea what his photos could be used for and  how.  He refused to have his participants sign a waiver.  So, I could do nothing but protest.

I left the area until he was done photographing his model.  He was later seen with his professional camera and video equipment rolling through after security had sent him packing.  When I asked why he was there, he finally told me he was shooting for" HIMSELF,"  Apparently AP and himself are one in the same.  What do you know?

So, the next day....the only video that was in the media of the preparation time was one with a tiny glimpse of me in my bright orange dress outside the gates.  There was minimal news coverage of this private area.

I have video interviews and am ready to post them, as no one has taken their name off my waiver list.

This is the first in a series.  If you want to see more, add your e-mail to my blog RSS feed.

I only want people who care about the cause and are willing to reveal themselves to see these clips.

If you are visiting for the purpose of peeping, be real and admit that you have other places to do this.

Only those on my RSS feed will be getting the updates of the new videos being posted.

Enjoy the mood of the start of the ride!

More to come....encourage your friends to join the RSS feed.  I won't be posting more videos until I have at least 20 people ready to stand up for what they believe.

Love your Co-Worker Today

Photo by Jodieve.com (C) 2012

You never know what your co-worker is going through, really.

When you sit down to start your work today, ask yourself if you are having a good day so far.....Take a deep breath and ask yourself if your nearest co-worker had a tough night or if things are touch and go at home.  Then take another deep break and a break from your work to ask a co-worker to go for a break and just chat.  Just know that that chat might be more intimate than any communication that person has had beyond staring at the many screens that exist in our homes and offices.

People need to talk to each other.  Is there an APP for that?

Try Google Talk today and catch up with someone you have lost touch with or surprise a loved one with your actual face expressing true compassion or the warmth of a real human smile.

If you can't smile, then fake it!  It will make you feel good anyway.  Have a great day and call me if you hate your job.

Follow me on Twitter @Jodievestone or hit me up on Linked in.

The first 10 people to add my blog to their RSS feed will win a prize.  Send me an e-mail at Jodievestone@gmail.com to collect your prize.  Oh, by the way.....I need an editor to put together the Porltand Naked Bike Ride 2012 interviews.  

Still so glad that I helped eject the AP news hound, that could have really caused a lot of people a lot of grief like losing their jobs or being overexposed in their communities of choice.  There was a brief video clip and all you see is me in my bright orange dress, directing hate the opposite way.

The Greatest Happiness

by Jodi E. Stone

The Path to Gearhart

I have spent sometime thinking about joy lately.  I want to personally dedicate this post to all of you who are finding joy in your own way and following a path to your own right livelihood.  I recently went throughout a wave of grief that I seemed to feel in every cell of my body.  After that, I came to understand that I have found such pure simple joy on this path to Gearhart beach. 

I take my dog, we head to the beach and experience pure bliss together.  I also experience great happiness when I am laughing "way out" loud too.  The simple peace I feel walking on this particular stretch is remarkable.

I have watched a dear friend run like down this beach with sheer abandon and smiled on both the inside and outside every time.   So, as technology pulls us into its never ending vortex....I am going to plan to experience more joy and take up people's offers to co-create joy more often.

My plan is to re-evnision my path to Gearhart at home.  Friends will remain friends and clients will notice that I will be encouraging them and supporting them to find their peace of mind, their personal happiness and their right livelihood.  Today is the first day that I am going to embark on a journey to offer my gifts via telephone or tele-conference. 

If you or someone you know is in need of a channel and an intuitive to help them understand which direction might be best, please feel free to refer them to me.  

My pricing is very simple: $95 an hour 

Business: $250 for trending and marketing consultation, group meetings can be scheduled via several on-line services.

Missed appointments will be charged without 24 hours notice of cancellation.

Text 503.888.5663 and I will call you to schedule your first appointment.

If my message box is full, please try again, my phone will be turned off when I am in session.

Jodieve Goes on Black Out for World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, Oregon

        I was free to be me and so was everyone else there!

Personal interviews will be forthcoming at the request of the event organizers or the documentary film crew.  If they want to reach me, they may contact me via text at 503.888.5663.  Any one who signed for consent and has re-thought their decision may also give me their name and contact information to revoke their permission at anytime.  All copyrights will be protected by Jodive.com 2012 (C).

        The video clips were shot without an agenda and people were allowed to express themselves freely without inhibition.  Their opinions expressed were as a result of their authentic feelings and are neither guided by me or the event organizers.

         They spoke freely and with passion and then rode naked or nearly naked through Portland, Oregon...."just to keep it weird if for no other reason." The mood was uplifted, elevated and seemed to put a little people in a happy mood in place where the sunshine on the inside and we take a lot of vitamin d, for the most part.

         I would like to know your opinion about my posting these videos on my blog.  Please post your requests @Jodievestone on Twitter and let me know if you think that my posting  the videos will be helpful or hurtful to those who volunteered and signed waivers to voice their opinions while in a private area is a whirlwind of enthusiasm and adrenaline?   Find out what motivated these folks to go "on the record."  When my Twitter account hits 1000.  I will post the videos by consensus, not for myself or the prying eyes of anyone who just wants to be a peeping Tom.  If you join the RSS Feed to this blog, you will be notified of the posting date.  Check back in few days to see the results.

Thanks,
Jodi

PORTLAND, OREGON TECH JOBS HERE!!!!

Rider Relaxing before the World Naked Bike Ride In Portland in 2011,  I could swear this gentle soul was my 1-1 tutor
Photo by Jodieve.com (C) 2011

Ok, so you made it to my blog...awesome!  There is so much good stuff here besides the tempting photos of the bold and daring Portlanders who rode in the World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, Oregon.  However, cool these photos are...the point of my blog is to demonstrate to folks who say there is a limited supply of jobs in Portland are so wrong!!!

This is not where young people go to retire.  This is where brilliant people go to get away from LA and SF to be able to bike to work and live a healthier more organic lifestyle.  Why else would such cool companies move here?

So, the trick to making a life here is to understand the labor market.  What we need here are Tech Wizards, Gaming pros and all around cool people who would rather code in a hammock than a ware house.   The business leaders who are creating start ups here get what the benefits they need to have to create a work environment for creative people.

Although I don't really drink  beer, one company offers beer once a project is done.  Another offers snacks, daily workout time, childcare  and a host of other amazing productivity enhancers.

So, to prove a point, I have already posted a few job openings on my site.  The funny thing is that I have had only a few daring bold polite people actually pick up the phone and call me about an opening.

Guess what, I will answer.  Unless I am in a meeting.  Folks are so numb from leaving unanswered voicemail messages and sending in online applications without a response that they are getting kind of exhausted trying to get these jobs that are there for the picking for those with certain skills.

On the employer side, HR folks are still feeling like their pride will be hurt if they have to offer someone a few bucks to find them a "real" catch.

So, how do we solve this problem?  My suggestion is an invitation only event where Tech Wizards, Gaming pros and Graphic Designers all bring a Power Point Presentation and we auction off interviews with you to the companies who really need you?  I have the venue all picked out, the food and booze will soon be selected.  Now, all we need is the talented folks who need a job and the companies willing to grant or pay a fee to have the chance to meet you face to face.  

It is like speed dating, but different.  I have a celebrity auctioneer all picked out, the tech guy to project the portfolio.

If you would like the date and location of this secret event.

All you have to do is ask and have your portfolio ready to GO!

Just make a PowerPoint presentation with your first name only and use your real last initial to brand the presentation.  I will need a few major local or not so local sponsors to cover a few costs.

This is GOING TO WORK~!  I dare one single job searcher to call me and put their name on the list!  I dare one single employer to sponsor this event.  Here is my personal cell phone number.

Call me when your portfolio is ready or if you are an employer call me if you are ready to cut through all the resume and find your people!  Nike?  Wanna sponsor this and turn it into one of those amazing RAVES you create in that warehouse in the Pearl?

Call me, I won't bite,

Jodi Stone

Jodi and friends visit Naked Winery in Hood River, Oregon

I had the pleasure of finally making the journey to Naked Winery. The experience was fun from the moment I laid eyes on the front door. Upon entering, I was asked by the gentleman behind the bar..."Are you ready to get Naked?"

I thought, what a refreshing greeting...The tasting was nice...but the most unique thing about their brand is that they are using plastic bottles with screw caps to promote a wine bottle that can be transported to the outdoor wine experience!

Picnics, private events and camping too! Their private club seemed to be the place to really hang out for a while.

I had the pleasure of asking them to join the Bite of Oregon and I am pleased to say that I am happy I did.
