Okay, Folks, it's my first foray into Video Blogging, and I've capitalized that just to reinforce the notion that I am capitalizing on my husband's videography skills! 

Anyway, here's a brief story of love gone wrong.  No, that's wrong.  It's a story of shame and humiliation, and who doesn't love that?  Aw, just click 'Play' and see whether you can relate to the miserable state of yours truly...

Well-- I'm totally bummed that the whole 'embed' process failed me, due to sizing conflicts, so use the link, and view the little video-- it's about 3 minutes long.  I hope you like it, and my undying gratitude to the producer and director, the Center of the Universe!

Things I Want Thursday- It's All About Darfur

Since Groundhog Day was this week, let me start with world peace. (Surely you saw the movie? Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell… But I digress.)

And world peace leads me to Darfur. And how sometimes there’s a good reason to take a day off from ‘funny’.

A friend of mine created an amazing video to focus some attention on the ongoing crisis in Darfur. She set it to music called “I Pity You”. The message is not what you think. It’s not about pitying the people of Darfur and what they have endured. It’s about pitying the people who don’t see it, who don’t get it, and who don’t care. The music was written by a friend of hers by the name of Damien Maddison.

I urge you to watch it, and I challenge you to feel it. And of course, do something about it.

And before you ask-- the friend who created this wants to remain anonymous, but I will forward any comments to her!
