Latest Video Cast!

This is my last youtube video… from Klamath Falls! I’ll be in South Korea on Sunday, but I’ll continue to post from there.

I feel like this video is a major improvement over the last three both in terms of video editing/production and hosting. There are still some things I do as a host that are not good (such as starting every segment with “ok, so…”), but those are things I plan to work on.

I decided to can the intro. I still want some sort of intro music and footage for my videos, but I want it to be good and not just some random clips of me driving around. Once I get a better video editor, I’ll probably be able to compile something I’m proud of.

Enjoy, and feel free to leave me a comment.

Trip to Crater Lake

This is the third video cast I’ve done.

I’m not a great host, but I’m pretty proud of the way I used music and ended the video. I think I’m decent at editing video, but I’m a horrible host.

Hindsight and Fortune Telling

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.

Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. It’s kind of hard to believe that I’ve just now sat down and listened to this song all the way through for the first time in my life.
