DOUBLE RAINBOW! A short thought.

I spent my entire day editing a document that used no less than 200 prepositions per paragraph so forgive me for not learning how to imbed this video, but the part of me that assumes the worst of the people I love knows that you've already seen this video:

We're always being told to soak up every moment, carpe diem, stop and smell the roses, appreciate what's beautiful, feel as deeply as we can, let it out, etc.

If that video is what that means, all of those concepts can go suck it.

Also, can we all agree that about midway through this video it's PAINFULLY clear that this guy is NOT crying about a double rainbow. I mean... I think I can actually HEAR the moment that he starts actually crying about the years that his mom has spent making him feel like a failure for not finishing his Music Appreciation Degree from Berkley. Maybe it's really about him backing over his neighbor's cat. Maybe about 1 minute in, he's reminded of that time that he killed a drifter... I don't know... but this crap is NOT about a double rainbow.

So here's my new technique for my emotional constipation. I'm going to get a video camera. And the next time I need to cry but I can't quite muster up the tears, or maybe it just seems like I'm forcing it a little, I'm going to film a sunset and just cry uncontrollably. "It's so... BEAUTIFUL!!! I didn't MEAN to leave a paint transfer on that car when I was backing out of Safeway and not leave a note! THE INSURANCE RAMIFICATIONS... I mean... The sunset... it's so... so... BEAUTIFUL!!"

...There's a tide me over.
