who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

Get down on it!

Oh, yes, that's the spot.



It has been a long time ...

Well, I'm going to try to get back to blogging so I have a means of self-expression, even if no one will ever read it.
For now, how about this:

What a wonderful world ...

I love unbridled creativity! We need more joy in our lives. This helps.


And what a genius Dick Van Dyke was and is. Fun.

Wow. Just wow!

Watch this vid from Britains Got Talent, which I like so much better than American Idol because of the constant surprises. Here is some background:
Across the pond, "Britain's Got Talent" scored a huge boost in the Buzz after an unassuming contestant gave an amazing performance.Susan Boyle (remember that name) became a Web phenomenon after singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. The performance brought the audience to its feet and left the judges (including Simon Cowell) either speechless or in tears.Before going on stage, Ms. Boyle admitted some self-deprecating facts about herself (she's never been kissed and lives alone with her cat, Pebbles). For those reasons and more, audiences were expecting the female William Hung. They were wrong. ... while Ms. Boyle thought she "looked like a garage" on TV, she received a standing ovation when she showed up at her local church. Other sources write that as a child, Ms. Boyle was the target of bullies because of a disability. But, with her newfound fame, she is getting the last laugh.
Stick with this long video, you will be glad you did.

Mob Rule

More fun!
A video of almost 200 people taking over Antwerpen's Centraal Station in Belgium and doing a carefully choreographed dance to the Do Re Mi song (aka Maria's Dance aka Maria's Song) from "Sound of Music" has garnered almost a million views on YouTube, and continues to grow, sprouting a new round of google trends today.
It's a publicity stunt for a reality show, but that doesn't seem to bother anyone, they just like it for what it is: a really cool, well shot video, that lets average people express their joy and talent and make those around them happy for a brief period. The producers chose the exact right song: one that harkens back to our childhoods, but also recalls Maria's unabashed upbeatness in the face of evil.
