My Volunteer Journey, In Video Form

Our group in Thailand decided to make a video that encompassed our journey in Thailand, and the people we met and worked with along the way. Here it is in its final form for your viewing pleasure.

I loved my experience. I hope this video can bring you into what was my world.

This VIDEO has the potential to CHANGE LIVES

Without further adieu, the video that we have been working so hard on. All about the non-profit DEPDC/GMS and the great work they are doing to prevent the trafficking of children.

Please watch. Please share. Please act. 

These kids have changed my life. Let us help them change theirs.

Sorry for another video. But this one is powerful enough to post.

Video Experimentation

This is from a couple of months ago when we as a family experienced the real Asia. Meaning we got to watch mostly naked guys pour gasoline down their throats and dance around like drunken, hot, idiots.

This is not really that interesting. But it does show me getting mad at Anna. And making weird faces.

I so called this...

Check out this new video from Obama supporters. The video features music from the National, who you can read about a few bloggings back. And like I said before, change is the golden election word in 2008. And Obama is the golden man...

Beck's Modern Guilt

Beck. They are rockin hot. I know this because even my uncool dad has two of their albums. Now I never got into Odelay (1996) which is supposed to be prime Beck material. I did, however, become particularly obsessed with Sea Change (2002). The album is brilliant. If you haven't yet experienced it, please do. The year it was released it was given five stars by Rolling Stone, a feat that Stones readers know, it next to impossible. It was one of only two albums that year to receive the highest music mag honor. (The other album, incidentally, was Springsteen's The Rising, recipient of that year's Rock Album of the Year Grammy).


Lately, I have been sampling Modern Guilt (2008) a very traditional, Beck-esque album. Translation: Beck fans will go ga-ga and sell their pinky fingers for a copy. For me it lies in between the caffefinated and chaotic Guero and tranquilized "this is your brain on drugs" Sea Change. And, as a on again, off again Beck lover, this album makes me shiver with delight and itch to press mute. I give the album 4/5.

Disjointed music bouts are never really good, even on youtube. Which may be the only reason why I am hesitant to give these guys music God status (i.e. the perfection that is 5) for creating Modern Guilt. But don't listen to me. Listen to them and decide for yourself. The first track is "Chemtrails" the second "Orphans".
