I done made a video.
Well, video is being generous. It was more just me rambling on. It was originally conceived as a self-help tape to treat peoples' addiction to self-help. But I kept getting bored, so basically just improvised this in one go. It's unedited (and it shows) and unscripted and doesn't make much sense.
There's not a lot of visual content, but there are periodic messages displayed, so stay tuned! The messages aren't quite subliminal. And they're not superliminal. So I suppose that makes them liminal.
Enjoy!
Also, the moment I finally decided to upload to Youtube, the embedding function is suddenly rubbish (what with the stupid search-bar and all. Oh well).
This is crazy man. Ok it's funny, but what if you're scared of stately homes. Or motor bikes. Or doves. Or Jesus?
ReplyDeleteOr self help videos??
I need to get back to my 'Face your fears or at least head butt them' tapes.
You're absolutely right. I gave it serious thought before posting this in case I caused anyone to suffer a nervous breakdown.
ReplyDeleteBut then I remembered 'there's nothing to fear but fear itself'.
And sharks. Fear and sharks.
I'm not sure that helped as intended but I do now have a Robert Powell background on my computer.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I find that amusing and validating.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did you deliberately post at exactly 22:00? Are you trying to trademark precise on-the-hour posting as a gimmick?
If so, I approve. From now on that particular manoeuver will be called 'The Rob'.
I only post on the hour these days - except this time - and I feel anyone who doesn't - so me, this time - needs to get with the time. The Rob.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the adverts for Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People? I got all excited - Ricky Gervais, Robin Ince, Tim Minchin, Stewart Lee and Richard Dawkins all promoting atheism at Christmas. I then got all depressed - sold out. Sounds right down your street - if you live in Gordon Street, London, which you don't.
I expect you'll be equally disappointed. So Merry Christmas.
Thanks for raising and dashing my hopes within the span of a single paragraph!
ReplyDeleteI had heard mention of it, but forgot about it. I suppose I need to learn to act quickly. Or, y'know, not.
Never mind. I am going to a benefit for Orangutans in January called OrangAid (see what they did there?). If I had to choose between atheism and monkeys, I'd choose monkeys every time.
(Don't try and tell me Orangutans are actually apes. I don't want to know anything about them until OrangAid. It will spoil things.)
If I had to choose between theism and monkeys, I'd choose monkeys every time. In fact I do.
