My Adventures In YouTube week of 2/10


I watch a lot of television and I've always been intrigued by what it takes to deliver a product and message in 30 seconds AND make me pee my pants laughing. The following Orbitz Gum commercial has been out for at least a year but it makes me smile everytime I see it. What the french, toast?!

Strawberry Letter 33


As I woke up this morning through a lucidity that was the silky red of a cup of pomegranate tea I was reminded of the fact that you weren't lying next to me. I was also reminded of my sweet imagination lulling me to sleep with the make-believe that seemed so real of your beautiful arm around me. The warm sensation of your chest against my back and your light breath slowly blowing like a metal brush on a cymbal around my ear.
From your last short letter I culled some optimism that you may be making a visit soon. Even my close friends thought good of your notion. I hoped you were finally ready for things to happen the way we'd both once dreamt that they could. Yet this morning's rising left me with a hollow feeling in my gut and a crack in my heart. I've begun to feel lately that I'm like the ancient giant squid. Floating around deep in the cold recesses of the ocean, patient for your appearance. Should you come swimming by please don't mistake my arm's reach for an attack. I've merely got ten arms to hold you and I don't plan on letting you go, just return the embrace as a sign for "Yes."
