DAMU, I Thank You

Chino Blanco, December 29, 2010December 29, 2010

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

Read Twilight. Seriously, do it if you haven’t. Because when it comes to entertainment on the Internet, there’s not much out there that can beat Mormon discussions of Twilight. That’s why I read it (explained in the comments here), and I don’t regret a single page. (And with the movie…

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

    Very nicely done! Your production values and your approach are both really appealing.

    Thanks, visitor, but any praise for the production values (and approach and pretty much everything else) really belongs to these guys:

    HAHAHAH!!! That makes it 10X more fun and ironic ;-p

    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.

    No, not at all! That’s what is so ironic to me about it, that this video does equal or more justice as applied by you to our communities, as it did in it’s original rendition to Mormon Messages.

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Very clever — amazing how with a little tweaking you dramatically improved on the original. ๐Ÿ˜‰
