*flash version

This short is directly tied to the last daily that I made on May 1st of 2007. They both have segments of my Grandmother’s High School English book being read and they both share a similar cutting and shooting style. The text is pulled strait from the book with no additions or subtractions. What you are hearing is actually a group of sentances that the student is supposed to classify as a statement, command, question or emotion. The book was published in 1939 (and has my grandfather’s name written on the spine!). Word for word:

Practice One.
Classify the following sentences according to thought:

How strange that you do not understand!
What an extraordinary person you are!
There is no doubt that we shall undertake the work.
Why do you ask?
Yes, you may trust me; I shall do my best.
Even though the style is good, do you not see that the work is without value?
Please step over there and wait for your turn.
Go to New York by boat; then take the first through train.
How I wish I could go!
Which one do you prefer?
If you do not hurry, we shall be late.
What a terrible experience you must have had.

Wade, Blossom & Eaton. Expressing Yourself pg. 265

In the spirit of a daily. I miss these. I guess this should also go by Thurs. Fourteen.

Also: for those who might prefer the flash version over quickitime I will begin linking to that from now on below the picture and info.

I really didn’t even want to make an experimental video today but with all this rain and a wandering mind I really couldn’t avoid it.

Stumbled across this little jem featuring a young Michael Jackson singing along side the great Roberta Flack. Perfection.
Original Video.

“We are living in a day of video and image. Now we want to see what people look like.”

It’s a very simple little video, but look close. As close as you can at least.

This footage was shot by my friend Ethan in downtown Toledo and it literally screamed at me when I was going through the tapes he gave me yesterday.

I spent a long time waiting in the background
But its all cool cuz Im definitely back now

“Not any self-control or self-limitation for the sake of specific ends, but rather a carefree letting go of oneself; not caution, but rather a wise blindness; not working to acquire silent, slowly increasing possesions, but rather a continuous squandering of all perishable values.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

A little tour. I mixed the music for this one, using Ulrich Schnauss’s Nobody’s Home & The Beatles She’s Leaving Home as well as bits from a Marc Bolan interview found on the Electric Warrior [Remastered] album.

“I live my life with a sense of urgency that most people can’t comprehend.”
