Is Marriage Dead?

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Usually this might a “who cares” video, but I think what some of the people said in response to her questions were truly good points.

So what does it matter if marriage is dead? Well, there are religious, governmental, and monetary changes - huge changes - that would happen if marriage were changed from what it currently is according to the system.

Do you think marriage is dead? (more…)

Matrix Ping Pong

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I love this video.

This started as a pretty funny matrix style ping pong video which was mildly entertaining…

However, I found myself liking it more and more as the boundaries of the scene were stretched - despite the people dressed in black coming into a white background. By that time it didn’t matter because the humor was showing through. The players ‘flew’ around the room trying to get the ping pong ball and at times you could forget the people dressed in black were even there.

I laughed out loud when they moved the table and players around so it was like a smooth camera shot going from one viewpoint to another. Also, the use of the ball attached to a long pole made even more funny things possible.

I am in no way accurately describing the awesomeness of this video. The matrix style ping pong is not only funny, but you can also appreciate the amount of rehearsing and choreography involved in doing such a scene.

Enjoy.

Learn How to Dance

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Dancing is not only fun, it’s also a good way to exercise, to feel good, and to give your significant other a nice, seductive treat.

There are so many types out there, though. If you want to learn, where do you start?

Simply put - try a bit of everything until you find what is acceptable for your fitness level, what feels good to you, and what your objective is (lose weight, show off at your wedding, a fun night with the significant other).

Here are some beginning lessons for a few different types of dancing to help you start experimenting. (more…)

Christopher Walken’s Delilah

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

I’ll admit it - I have a thing for Christopher Walken stuff. Be it his Weapon of Choice video or his Saturday Night Live work.

This video is a clip from the movie Romance and Cigarettes where he sings the Tom Jones song Delilah. It features great music, a lot of dancing, and sex.

What more could you want?

Stabbed women dancing around? Well this video has that too. Enjoy. ;)

Chick Magnet Secrets

Monday, August 27th, 2007

When I saw the title of this video, I was highly amused and thought this would be an easy laugh to score, watching one more man talk about how to get women, instead of just asking women. Beyond that, every woman is different, so to say “every woman wants” anything is a bit of a far stretch most of the time.

However, this guy does have some good points some guys could definitely find useful. (more…)

Cheaters Online

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Unhappy in your marriage? Then check out AshleyMadison.com.

When I first saw this television clip, I couldn’t quite believe it. I thought it was a joke. But as the interview went on, they were completely serious. I even checked out the website, and it truly is a “Romantic Rendezvous [site] for Attached Adults”.

What I find extremely ironic is the woman who is being interviewed was married and met a guy who was married.

They’re both cheaters.

And yet she calmly states her faith in the relationship. Even though they’re both cheaters.

Am I the only one not getting this? I feel like I should be saying “AshleyMadison.com - Making adultery easy.”

Maybe when you see this video, you’ll think “cool” or “humanity has no morals”. Either way, I’m still stunned. I shouldn’t be, given the internet has everything else out there to tempt you, tease you, and pleasure you as much as you want. Still, this amazes me.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has used this, will use this, or would consider using this. Tell me why or even why not if you’re against it.

Sucks to be You

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

…on Avenue Q.

With songs like “The Internet is for Porn” and “Everyone is a Little Racist”, you can see why this unconventional musical made it big.

By mixing two things not often mixed - puppets and adult humor - you get Avenue Q, the musical that deals with real things like unemployment, racism, and sex in music form.

With puppets. (more…)

Hurricane Dean

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

In case you weren’t aware, there is a huge - positively huge - hurricane happening right now.

It’s said it will hit along northeast Mexico sometime late Wednesday or Thursday morning, possibly as a category five hurricane. It has already hit other areas.

This video is a bit light for you to see the actual eye of the hurricane, but just seeing the size of the storm is impressive in itself. If you pray, you might want to consider doing so for the people who are in this hurricane’s path

Naruto - These Small Hours

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I guess you could say I took a break from music in my life for a while. I’ve been getting back into it though, because I use music a lot to help inspire me when I’m writing stories.

I have grown addicted to Rob Thomas’ These Small Hours because it has the feel of a good soft rock song without being too “lovey gooey” or sentimental in a way that would make you sick. It’s a good song about life that doesn’t get too into itself.

I decided to go with the Naruto version instead of the Ryan and Merissa O.C. version.

This video is well done because the clarity of shots, the appropriateness of the scenes chosen to go along with the song, and the over all feel of the video in relation to the music. It’s nicely put together.

Enjoy. (Some videos put after the more tag to make the site load faster.) (more…)

Tales of Mere Existence

Monday, August 20th, 2007

I found this video while YouTube surfing and I fell in love with it.

Perhaps it’s because the simple drawing animation works well for the piece. Perhaps it’s because it’s funny. Perhaps it’s because it’s one of those tales that you can’t make up. You can exaggerate it a bit, but you have to have been through the original experience.

All of the above.

If you’ve ever thought you mother was annoying, doesn’t listen to you, and/or doesn’t trust you to take care of yourself even though you are an adult, you’ll like this short animation. It’s funny in a dry, sarcastic sort of way while also leaving us shaking our heads throughout because if the mother portrayed here isn’t your mother, than she’s the mother of someone you know.

Enjoy.

20 Good Reasons

Friday, August 17th, 2007

I decided it was far past time I put some music videos on here, and so I’m going to start with the video Twenty Good Reasons by Aussie band Thirsty Merc.

Thirsty Merc has been gaining popularity in Australia and have had their songs used on television to promote different shows. They’ve also been touring around Australia recently, rocking it, and promoting their newest album Slideshows.

Take a peek at Twenty Good Reasons - both the regular and acoustic versions - and let me know what you think.

Shadow Art Show Video

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

By Dave Parrack
Brit Music Scene

The first time I watched this YouTube video of a human shadow puppet show, I thought there must be some camera trickery involved, it’s that impressive. It’s all real though, and performed by a dance company called ‘Pilobulus‘.

We can all do those small shadow puppets with our hands against the wall, making a simple shape like a bird, but this is something a whole lot better, and harder to choreograph.

The first shape made is of a tall man, and it’s incredible how perfect it looks, with no weird deviations at the edge of the form. I suspect it took quite a few takes to pull this one off.

Next comes a bunch of fat penguins, and if it wasn’t good enough to just take the form, they make them waddle along too. I enjoyed watching this more than ‘The March of the Penguins’.

And then it just gets stupidly complicated as the group of body puppeteers make a silhouette of a van with passengers, complete with a guy running after it in a cartoon fashion. How do they do it?

Lastly, the group turn in to a gun… once which shoots! The whole clip is astonishing, and come sun down tonight, I’ll be practising my skills in front of the light. I fear for my neighbours.

Hope you like it,

DaveP
