LOLFreedom! ‘08!

Freedom ‘08 was made by a couple of people who were tired of yelling at the nightly news on their tv and thought it would be good to digress into a more fun avenue of personal expression for a bit. And then they thought it would be neat to do a plebeian (cinema verite?) version of their favorite video ever, Freedom ‘90. 
They had no professional equipment, lighting, training, crew or supermodels- really, no budget- at their disposal.
Also they knew that the naysayers might scoff at it.
They decided to make it anyway.
And so, with a handful of good-lookin’ friends from the outer boroughs, a few lights, the lucky discovery of a brilliant editor, and a handheld cam affectionately dubbed “The Party Favor”, they did.
What started as a silly lark, a LOL-fest stemming from fascination of the Holy Trinity of Naomi/Cindy/Christy, became something more- although what that “more” is, is up for interpretation. However, we suspect that the current state of affairs is something of an influence.
(Although, it’s still hi-larious. After all, it has not one, but two pinatas in it, to start).
Speaking of Holy Trinities, we certainly hope that the one of George/David/Mike will not take the video as an affront. Rather, we hope they will consider this perhaps less than technically astounding effort a humble grassroots tribute, one with alot of heart at that. No profit here at all, just a labor of love sprung from the collaborative effort of a few young people battling disillusionment and blowing off some steam with a bit of fun artistic expression.
In uncertain times, that’s one good thing that we’ve got.

Get On The Bus!

quick blurb: this is kind of last minute, but just wanted to put the word out there… as i’m sure you’ve heard, the word on the street (in the polls really) is that obama’s way ahead after paw-paw’s less than stellar performance tuesday night, and as much as i want to believe he’s sure to win, i am still looking to do what i can to clinch those states that aren’t undoubtedly in the bag. states like- pennsylvania! admittedly it looks pretty good there- obama is leading. but! there’s still mccain’s wild card- 7.4% of undecided voters. with the current standings that’s just enough to where he could theoretically just barely squeeze ahead at the last moment. (of course i’m hoping they only pretend to be undecided so they can be on tv and stuff- while secretly intending to vote for barry- but i wanna be damn sure.)

at the very least, get on the bus will be a great experience! and an opportunity to meet like minded, driven, adventurous people like yourself if anyone wants to go down to somewhere called easton tomorrow, holla in the comments. you can be back in nyc by 6. here are the details.

I’m Putting It Out In The Universe

Hello, and welcome to I-probably-will-pull-it-in-like-5-hours-post #6. Or something.

Usually, I think I don’t have terribly high expectations of other people. Why? Oh, well, that’s for another day and can’t be summed up all that neatly. But anyway, the point is I don’t. Normally.

So what’s different about today? I don’t know. Some rescrambling in the matrix/cosmos?

Because today, I actually have this feeling that there’s going to be some shift in what comes back. Prior to this, nothing. And so, I had essentially no expectations. But today, I believe more of what I’ve put out there, my strength, my perception, my open heart, my bravery- today I believe that will actually be received, appreciated, and returned.

Meaning, I have faith that someone- even though in the past it has always been a lack of recognition, response, communication, and effort- will turn.

Today I believe I will be seen for the great woman I am- despite the flaws. Lots of them. That I’m pretty honest about.

I know I’m probably not making much sense, I know this is very journaly, I know this isn’t doing much for the audience.

But today, I think I have to be just a little self-indulgent, and put this out there in the universe- because it’s been running through me like a current all morning, and I had to express it somewhere.

I look forward to what today brings.

My First Video Blog

Well, I certainly hope you enjoy it ’cause it was a real bitch to put up. Just kidding. Like it or don’t like it- but do watch it to the end. Even though it is way, way too long.

BINGO!

Watching the debates tonight. I hear Biden’s been practicing “laid back” the last few days, so I’m not worried about that part.

I worry about the other side.

So- Tin Foil Hat Going Back On.

Also playing Palin Bingo for fun.
