Yes, this again. :-P The song in question: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=372993&id=373015&s=143441 More quotes that fit the occasion: "Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?" - Ernest Gaines No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him. - Thomas Jefferson "No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don't love anybody." - Rita Mae Brown "War. Rape. Murder. Poverty. Equal rights for gays. Guess which one the Southern Baptist Convention is protesting?" - The Value of Families "It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain." - Francis Maude "If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise." - Johann von Goethe "It's a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy." - Lucille Ball

Have you ever wondered to yourself while uploading a video, "was this a good idea??" In this case, the answer is clearly "NO!" but rather than delete this into oblivion, I present it to you here so that you may learn from my heinous mistakes.

I shot this in December of last year for a collab that CinderFNRella put together. Since enough time has passed that this won't steal any thunder from her project AND because I'm tired of talking about the election (for now), here's that old clip "remixed" for your suffering here on this bloody channel. Music by Kevin MacLeod http://www.incompetech.com http://www.youtube.com/kmmusic THANK YOU to Hippiefied1, TheSumpPump, Wpgpeanut, Dubaiedge, and Sukatra for the encouragement to dig this out and share it.

Totally serious here. But I misspoke - used the words "no right" when I meant "no business." Not looking to deny anyone constitutional rights here. It's really just a matter of credibility to me. Too many people are willing to voice their opinions without putting action behind them, and that doesn't help us one bit. http://www.votesmart.org

UPDATE: I apologize for not replying to comments on this one. For some reason I had 'reply block' and it just wouldn't flow. But I've read them all, am grateful for the kind words and compliments, and it's helped energize me to keep this train moving. *Thank you* ------------- Odd story with this one. I had already pieced the majority of this together ahead of time before this YouTube Nostalgia thing was started - this is an anniversary I was NOT going to miss. Even if Kenrg had not tagged me, I still would have uploaded this today. I also tagged five people but have decided to officially let them all off the hook. Why can't people just do this type of video if they want without being tagged? Music clip made (in Garage Band?) by http://www.youtube.com/anakin1814

Inspired by and a response to Hippiefied1 From both the 80s clips as well as the 2006 and 2007 stuff, that's my friend Sandee. I've featured her in other videos before. With us in the car and restaurant is our friend Dawn. The footage of Al doing the song and dance number was shot the same day as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVpR6ItDE_8 And finally, yes, I've officially provided here at the end some proof that at one time I took television production classes.

Midterm exams are swallowing me alive, and yet I have this therapeutic outlet called YouTube. So very wonderful for me and yet wildly painful for you, the viewer.

***November 5, 2008 UPDATE*** I've turned comments off since the election is over and the votes were tallied. Majorites never fully succeed in oppressing minorites - not indefinitely, that is. Anyone who has studied history will know this. The fight is not over. Victory is still on the horizon. Those who voted to ban gay marriage better prepare themselves for disappointment.

Responding to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np2JGbIp570 Mtamorphis brought up the topic and it got me fired up ...no pun intended... If you haven't seen her video and have time, please check it out. She poses some questions that I know a lot of people ponder from time to time. BTW, the title of this sucker is mostly a tongue-in-cheek jab at uptight employers who think we're nuts for "putting ourselves out there." For the record, I enjoy what Chivalryaintdead, MattHawes and GeneticBlend do with their channels. Bringing them up this way should not be interpreted as anything other than an appreciation for their contributions to the world of online video.

For those who haven't vlogged in a while, and for those who just WANT to but maybe aren't sure what to talk about. This is for everyone, actually. Get on cam and tell us how you've been, what's going on, or whatever - in any manner that works for you. Yep, that's really all there is to it. Special thanks to Hippiefied1, Wpgpeanut, Bugsinrug and DL737 for their feedback on this before I posted it!

Counting down the weeks until the semester wraps up and I'll officially graduate. Unfortunately I won't get to do the cap 'n' gown bit until next May. But at least the important part will be taken care of. I made this for two reasons: 1) To remind myself of the commitment I made to finishing this mission 2) To help explain why I haven't been as much of an active participant here lately Music by Jason Shaw http://www.youtube.com/audionautix http://www.audionautix.com
