Found my third fan music video!
First, I wanted to thank everyone for their extremely kind thoughts and well wishes here, on Facebook, and elsewhere for my recent health problems. It means worlds to me and really does help me get by that much easier.
I think the new meds are helping the seizures because I haven’t had any today (doc said that might happen). They’d gotten so much worse this week, though, that I’m having a hard time walking. I’ll deal with that over the actual seizures – hell yeah! Day’s not over yet, but you count your blessings by the hour, sometimes by the minute. Enjoy every moment that you can tolerate, lol. I mean, my normal meds aren’t touching my migraines or muscle pain in the stomach, legs, etc, but I’m sure it’d be tons worse without them, so it could always be worse. Chest keeps hurting, especially, but I think it’s from lying on my side a lot. See, my right shoulder wouldn’t stop twisting and jerking while in bed, and it kept waking me up, so I turned over and put my weight on the damn thing to keep it still.
Anyway, on to the blog post’s subject: I had a rough time getting to sleep last night, probably adjusting to new meds or whatever, so I searched through a bunch of VHS tapes. There were these three old music videos that I’d made in the 90s using two VCRs and a CD player, just for fun, and I’d found two of them, already. Well, I’d about figured the third was lost but finally found it. So I transferred it to digital and uploaded it to YouTube. I joke on each that shrooms were involved, as well, and yeah, I ate a lot of them with friends back then. Hallucinogenic mushrooms grew wild in the surrounding cow pastures down there and they were legal, at least at the time – don’t know if they are now. We’d pop in movies while music played and often times we’d notice how something would sync up so well like Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz. Our favorite was Obituary’s “Cause of Death” CD with Evil Dead 2.
I had created a special part of my site for sharing things like videos and pictures. I don’t have much on it yet, but it should be a fun distraction for myself and I can hopefully share some laughs and fun memories with all of my friends, possibly scar a few minds, LOL!
Here are the specific links to the videos if you’d like to check them out. If you like them, by all means – Share!:
The Padded Cell
S.D. Hintz and I have had so much fun whenever we’re on a talk show together, so we thought we’d record the occasional weird conversation that came up during Skype calls. Then he would make them into YouTube videos and post them at the Merchant’s Keep forum.
So now the Padded Cell is born! CLICK HERE for its home, and to check out the first video. It’s definitely not safe for work, but we hope you get a chuckle out of it.
It won’t just be us, either. Whenever we can catch a friend on Skype, we’ll try dragging them into it. We’ll, of course, let them know any time we’re recording. We’re not that shitty, lol.
Last weekend, S.D. was really drunk and I’d wished he had recorded some of that. The next day, we discovered that he had hit the button a few times without realizing it. So we’re anxious to see what came of that.
Ego boost
Don’t worry. It’s not going to my head. But it was a fun app to play. What do you get?
I’d pasted in a few paragraphs from my serial, Fear the Woods:
It started to rain thick, stinging drops. The shadow paused behind another tree and listened to the bass of a living room stereo. There was no harm in investigating. It was dry inside and the loud music would drown out screams for the neighbors. After a few steps toward the house, however, it ducked behind bushes lining the front sidewalk.
A searchlight swept across the lawn as the patrol car passed, and voices cracked from the radio within. The shadow looked away from the car, held its breath, and curled into a ball, visualizing a cold black stone.
The officer with the light sighed. “I can’t see shit in this weather. Why even bother?”
“Yeah, fuck it,” the driver said. “Let’s go smoke that weed I confiscated last night.”
“I heard that.” He switched off the light and the car sped onward.
The shadow rose and stood silent until the taillights were out of sight. Then it proceeded to the side of the house and peered through the first window, which overlooked the kitchen sink. In the room beyond that, it could see the back of a chair that cradled a young redheaded woman while she talked on the telephone. It lifted the window just enough to make out what she was saying over the music.
