The French electronic group, M83, called upon its fan base to produce a music video for their single. We Own the Sky
I love the coloring and the whole motion of the video especially in the fist few scenes. Though the video is screaming indie. The people depicted are dressed in indie typical clothes doing over the top indie things. Yet still the music video works despite the mass amount of “indieness”. What I got from it visually was that we shouldn’t be afraid of new things and that we should tackle them head on rather than fearing them. It is inspiring in a way makes me want a nice camera and a field to lay in.
I’ve been busy and then I haven’t been busy either. I’ve been lumbering through online content and have come to love Vimeo. An analogy to that illustrates what it is.
Photobucket is to Youtube as Flickr is to Vimeo. Not sure if you understood that, but if you did then you understand that this sites content is riddle with creativity. In other words fan videos on Vimeo do not consist of people lipsycing into webcameras. So if you are looking for inspiration then mozey on down to Vimeo.
Here is this one Animal Collective fan production that was really pretty.
I have loved Dangerous Muse for the past couple of years and have waiting very patiently for their upcoming album. That stopped after this video. I want that album now! I actually first found out about this video via their super awesome mailing list which was niffty.
The following is a preview for their upcoming album/music. Pretty hot and I love the grizzly synths in there mixed with some smooth vocals. Yes there is the whole aspect of “Oh goodness hot guy the music thus is good!”, but I genuinely loved the tunes they put out, and I can’t wait to see what they put out this year as well.
I know I already mention that this Emmy winning documentary and how it is also available on Hulu, but I think this essential tale is worth another mention. Its now available for viewing in full on youtube for free. It is a bit of an old flick, but it is totally worth the hour. If you were a fan of Milk then this is a must see.
I’ll embed the video, but your better off viewing it on youtube.
I totaly love all these movies and televison shows being put on Youtube, personaly i’ve watched the entire season of Gundam 00 and those old Yu-gi-oh epsiodes. I know i’m a total Weeaboo
So today I checked my email and found out that I didn’t win one of the 16 PFLAG Scholarships(I think not sure email was kind of vague/generic). Stinks that I didn’t get the money, but creating this essay was very beneficial in itself. Organizing all my thoughts gave me a better look into myself as a person in this world, and how I have meaning even though I often feel detached from it. Its kind of egocentric, but still I think we all strive to find a purpose in life and some sort of way to “fit in”.
Its not the most amazing one page essay out there, but to my mom it was. To bad she wasn’t on the scholarship committee.
The Virtual Impact
I’ve never been a conventional person. I usually find myself paving my own road in life, which leads me towards the same goals of everyone else. I just get to that place in a different way. I’m blessed to be born in New Jersey, a progressive state, but yet I find myself in a partially conservative area. My school does not have a Gay Straight Alliance. Sure, there are enough GLBT people to start it up, but sadly they reside deep down inside of a closet that I can’t break them out.
So like any other teenager I looked towards the Internet for salvation. Many people saw the Internet as some sort of crude virtual world where teenagers waste time talking on Myspace in their strange instant messaging language. I, on the other hand, happened to see a great amount of potential in Youtube. I had my life to share, a camera and an endless well of opinions to blabber on about. So I did just that. I went about producing video blogs in which I detail my personal experiences with being gay, political satire, and my views on gay current events. I envisioned Youtube and the internet in general as a great tool because it can reach the hidden community that is caged inside conservative America.
Two years later and those silly little videos of mine have been viewed by thousands, and have reached the deepest darkest corners of America. It was very unexpected that me chitchatting in front of camera for seven minutes could be worth anyone’s attention. Though the most important thing about my videos are not how many times they have been viewed, but the major impact they had on certain individuals. Each day I’m flooded with messages from hundreds of different LGBT pouring out how much these videos have meant to them. These simple little videos brought a smile to a teenager who tried to commit suicide, they encouraged a student to start a GSA, and they have given me, and thousands of others a sense of being a tad bit closer.
When detailing my life I cannot forget how accepting my mom has been. She accepted me being gay, she approved of my first boyfriend, she tolerated my videos and she helped me find out about other local gay groups. She helped me get involved in the QCC(ww.queercafe.org) and really supported me as I struggled with the typical backlash from my peers regarding me being gay. I have been blessed with a mom, a great life, and a camera of course, but not everyone is. I think the best way for me to be thankful for the things I have is to use them to their fullest. That is one of the many mottos that has shaped my life to this day and to come.

(Important Messages That I mention in the essay)
Alright its a decent parody of the whole Miss. California thing. I only broke out laughing during the South African and hand sanitizer part, but the rest of lines were pretty witty too. Anyway I kind of might do a video rant about Miss. California, but I think this whole debate is well over with, and shes not a homophobe shes just stupid. It has entered the well done parody stage and has way passed the random rant on webcam phase.
