GOOD DAY! & One Month of Every Day Blogging in 2013 is Complete!


How’s it going everyone?!

I had a great day today with my Mom going into my one booth at Roller Mills Antiques and refreshing the booth.  Also shopping around Lewisburg a bit, having dinner, and looking around other thrift/junk shops.  Now I’m home, relaxing the rest of the evening after posting this, and getting ready to possibly hit an auction tomorrow!  Just looked at the pictures for the one I was most excited for, and nothing really to phone home about.  Perhaps I will find a different one.  Regardless beforehand I have to go pay my rents at my booths at Plaza Centre & Big Valley.  Should be a fun morning!

Also since today is the 31st and end of January, that makes me one month down on my goal of blogging EVERY day here on BrentOtt.com… it’s been fun so far! Lots of ideas yet to make happen!

I figured I’d leave you with some cell phone shots of some recent things I’ve been finding/thought were cool… ENJOY!  I’ll check back in tomorrow morning, or after my day of travel.  HAPPY FEBRUARY!

I had a VERY interesting day today dealing with some, well, let’s just say “unique” customers. LOL….

The rest of tonight is going to be filled with relaxation leading up to tomorrow, which will be FILLED with hustle!  If you truly love what you are doing, you’ll never actually WORK a day in your life!

Enjoy your evening/day/WHATEVER it is WHEREVER you are!

Busy Day Working In The Office & Around House!


What’s going on guys?!?

095Just wanted to drop in quick and give you an update.  I spent the day today working on cleaning and organizing my office, and setting things up to begin filming new segments this week in front of my green screen.  I have tons of stuff in my house that I’ve acquired from auctions and everywhere else throughout the last several years.  Working on getting that all sorted through, some of it listed online, and some of it tagged for my booths.  I’m sure I’ll be storing a lot of it for the future as well.

I will actually be working in one of my booths tomorrow with my girlfriend, and also shooting some footage throughout the day.  Looking forward to this Monday night and getting back to some good old “Trash Talk & Treasures” fun.  Fun few guests stopping by this week!

I’ll have more on all that soon.

For now I’ll leave you with some behind-the-scenes shots I shot today with my new camera. Now it’s back to toying 090with my camera/editing software a bit, learning some things, tagging a few more boxes of treasure, and eventually cooking some pork, potatoes, and veggies for dinner!

This Is What Life Is All About. Let Us Not Forget…


ThisIsWhatLifeIsAllAbout

The following is from Amazing Things In The World

“This is what six decades of love looks like.


James and Lauretta Burke were married 64 years. They met when James returned home from serving as an army officer in World War II. When a neighbor introduced him to Lauretta, he said he knew immediately that he wanted to make her his wife.

But she wasn’t ready yet. Lauretta insisted on finishing school at Mt. Mary College before getting married. So the Saturday after her graduation, they exchanged vows. They went on to have five children, twenty-three grandchildren, and a very happy life.

A few years ago, at the age of 87, Lauretta was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Shortly after, James had to have surgery to implant a pacemaker, which kept him in and out of the hospital for months.

“He was basically living for her,” the couple’s granddaughter said. “They were like the same person after being together for so long, and he didn’t want to give up because she knew that he needed him there.”

James used his last moments to amend his will so that his wife would have the best possible treatment for her Alzheimer’s when he passed on. On November 13, 2012, he passed away and left a legacy of love in his wake.”

GREAT DAY In The Co-Ops!


What’s happening everyone?  First off hope that you are all doing well.  I spent the day working in two of my co-op booths/antique mall booths.  I worked on my booth at Big Valley Antiques in Milroy, PA as well as my booth at Plaza Centre Antiques in Bellefonte, PA.  Took in some fresh merchandise, switched some things between the booths, and changed things around in general.  Always leads to a nice little bump in sales when I spend the day doing just that.

Within the next few days/week I need to get into my final booth, at Roller Mills Antiques in Lewisburg, PA, and do a nice little “fresh up” there as well.  I’m also looking to get some new shelves/display cases into all three locations within the coming weeks and months.  2013 is another year of growth!

ROLLERMILLSadTonight I’m going to spend relaxing with the girlfriend, AND getting a little bit of office work accomplished (as I can without getting in trouble!).  Tomorrow is going to be a HUGE office day for me.  Lots of email to respond to/send, tagging to get done, photographs to take, listing to hopefully accomplish, consultations to participate in, and get ready to be out BUYING strong this weekend!!!!!

If I don’t get into Roller Mills beforehand, next Thursday (my regular co-op day) will be kicking off with a Roller Mills trip to unload fresh finds & refresh the booth!  I love what I do!

Oh, and have I mentioned that I’m getting a new camera this weekend? THIS is going to be fun!

In The Trenches And Feeling Oh So Good!


Throughout my life I’ve always faced challenges head on.  I’ve always faced adversities head on.  Not once have I taken the easy way out, or backed down from anything. As a matter of fact, I thrive off the stress and uncertainty that a challenge of any sort brings.

Right now I am finding myself laughing on both the inside and out for a variety of reasons, about a variety of different things.  None of these things even deserve further comment.  As for all these “things,” I would like to simply thank everyone who has been in touch with me.  Everyone who has showed support through Email, YouTube messages, Facebook messages, everywhere.  Bottom line is that there’s nothing going on “around here” other than business as usual!

cannabisI’m going to keep being myself, keep getting money, and keep growing.  It’s funny, I don’t think you ever quite KNOW where you are going without uncertainty, or know that you can’t fail, until you hit a point of rock bottom within your life.  For me I hit that point back in 2004 with a marijuana case, which I don’t speak on too often.  I stand firmly behind the legalization/decriminalization of marijuana, and always will.  Perhaps it’s something I will get into further in a coming post.  It’s because of that point of hitting bottom that I am the man who I am today, why I have the goals I do, why I’ve arrived at the point I am at today, and why I truly KNOW for a fact that I have more hustle in my left nut than most of these other guys have in their entire bodies.

Someone pointed out to me recently that I don’t have to say anything, I literally have “binders” of credibility, which I thought was a very valuable point.  I’m not hiding behind anything, as is evident with my Internet presence from the last few years.

With these next few coming days comes a lot for me.  I’ll be heading out to another auction (or two!), getting in to work on the co-op booths, doing some eBay & Etsy listing, and filming/work for my upcoming “Project X” show/podcast.  It looks as though I’ll actually be picking up a new camera this weekend as well, which is super exciting!  Always fun to get to play around with new technology.  One thing that is on the back of my head right now is this year’s OUP Photography Tour, which I am always excited about.  As of right now I don’t have all the details, but it’s always a blast.  Last year the OUP Photography Tour took me to St. Louis, Nashville, Cincinnati, all over the place, and I’m sure this year will be much the same.

In addition to all these and other things, “Trash Talk & Treasures” is in the process of getting better and better.  I’ll be working out the details with some good people, but rest assured that the often imitated, NEVER duplicated fun that is TTT won’t be going anywhere, ANYTIME soon.  As I said we’ll just be getting better!  I’m not going to give anything away just yet but you can count on learning a lot more, and getting a lot more out of TTT in the future.  I’m seeing a lot of bullshit out there, which is expected, but not something I’m proud to say I stand behind.

I’m really starting to enjoy doing these posts here on BrentOtt.com more and more, and I’m very appreciative that you guys have enjoyed reading them.  I appreciate all the comments, views, and of course all the viewers who have in turn checked out my other projects/sites/blogs, etc… As always, if there is ANYTHING I can help you with or anything you would like to get ahold of me for simply email brent@ounitproductions.com

Thanks guys, and I’ll check back in soon!
