DAMU, I Thank You

Chino Blanco, December 29, 2010December 29, 2010

Paying homage to online friends during this holiday season with some heartfelt silliness:

(Alt link in case the embedded vid loads too slow)

My inspiration, my energy, my wisdom, my gratitude, my vision, my laughter … my knowledge.

From me to you: I’m so glad I’m you’re here.

And, yes, if there’d been more than four cues, I would’ve included more of my favorite sites. πŸ™‚

Is it just me or do a lot of Mormon kids wish they belonged to a big box church?

September 26, 2011September 26, 2011

Because, when I see talent like this, I gotta wonder: Not to mention: Al Sharpton has suggested that these (big box) churches focus on personal morality issues while ignoring social justice. Maybe, but the kids seem to like it. And you can’t stop it: It’s already begun: Can you feel…

    Very cool and thanks! I share your sentiment for our many online communities.

    Laugh away, but I certainly hope you won’t discount any of the feelings you experienced while viewing my version of the clip just because you’re now suddenly aware of where I found it. I’d feel bad if my sincere expression of exmo camaraderie wound up being disregarded simply on account of my obvious fraud.

    Hey, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate you playing along. In the absence of a budget, mutual admiration is worth its weight in gold. They control the treasury, but we’ve got the numbers. Here’s to a fun 2011. πŸ™‚

    Very clever — amazing how with a little tweaking you dramatically improved on the original. πŸ˜‰
