Okay. So the next time I have a great, big idea full of awesome? Tell me to drop dead.
Two weeks will be PLENTY of time to shoot 24 videos. It’ll be a BREEZE.
Yeah. Until we’re down to 48 hours to go and I’ve only shot ONE. If this whole video project had been a marathon, I would be crawling to the finish line three days after even the geriatrics have completed the race, using my bleeding fingernails to scrape my limp, broken body across the concrete. All those who believed in me would be at the bar toasting to my defeat.
If nothing else, this project was a sobering look at my piss poor time management skills and the fact that my ambition far outweighs my interest in taking action. Aren’t I a peach?
Anyhow…I finally made it to the end of the line, completely and absolutely worse for wear. I haven’t slept much, my pride is hurting from all the ridiculous things I’ve done for the sake of furthering the internet, and I’m still stinging from the newf repeatedly asking, “Why?” when I tried to celebrate my accomplishment.
BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE E-POPULAR, GODDAMNIT.
(Oh hi new readers who stumbled over this way because of the videos. I’d apologize for the first impression but you’re probably better off seeing the real deal before you get emotionally invested. Just type in ‘kittens and puppies’ into your address bar and press enter. You’ll be happy there.)
So over the course of today, twenty-three videos featuring yours truly in various stages of disheveled and pathetic will be making their way onto a collection of fantastic blogs. I encourage you to find them, comment on them, and make this bitch of an experience worth my while.
Did I mention I had to shell out $60 for Vimeo to peddle my trash through a ‘Plus’ Membership?
BECAUSE I DID.
So I’m poor, tired AND ridiculous.
Needless to say, as you go through the videos you’ll be able to clearly note a) how quickly lack of sleep shows up on my face, b) which videos were shot in the early stages of excitement, and c) which videos were shot after my breaking point into Desperationville.
Nevertheless, thanks to everyone who submitted a question, posted videos on their blog, or passed them along through Twitter. Way to make it not an entire waste of my sanity! GooooOOOOO TEAM!
Now feel free to post your favourite videos – whether you asked the question or not – on your blogs, tweet the ones where I look the most ridiculous, and just generally help spread the word because God knows that it will be a COLD DAY IN HELL that I ever subject myself to this sort of mess ever again.
On that note, here are the blogs that will be hosting video entries in no particular order. Enjoy and – perhaps more importantly – be kind.
