Friday Night Videos

Posting the video on a Saturday morning again. I should call this feature Saturday Morning Cartoons. LOL! Of course, there aren't many cartoons, so it wouldn't make sense.

I'm still so many months behind on the videos, so I'm deciding which I want to share.

I haven't seen this movie, but I think it might be worth the viewing; it looks like it has a lot of potential to be good based on the trailer, anyway: The Way, Way Back:

I hate all the "Let it Go" versions that exist...I don't get the complete head-over-heels love for that song, but the love is no different than any of the Little Mermaid songs.  THE difference is YOUTUBE! LOL! In any case, I thought this was one of my favorite versions of the song being remade:


My favorite video of 2013 was this one, made by devinsupertramp. He's the guy that made the video of the people swinging on the arches, here in the Utah (not a fan of that, by the way). But I really liked this video:

The final video I'll share is one I shared on FB at the end of the 2013, but I still really like, is a mashup of all the hits from 2013:


Brad

Last September (2013), we lost my cousin Brad in a motorcycle accident. He was young and left 8 beautiful children, with a ninth on the way. I can barely think on the pain it caused me then, so I will put here only what I entered into my journal on the day of his funeral:

The tears found their way. My heart ached. It's painful and maddening. So many things I want to express about the love for Brad and the anger I feel from my toes for whoever it is pulling the strings to these life changes. Could God really pull a loving father from his children?
This is what I'll say. I love and will miss a truly genuine soul. I'm glad I saw his spark while it was here. I'm glad he didn't pass me by unnoticed. He was quiet and many didn't see him. He didn't demand attention and yet he was so incredible a soul with a heart of gold that shone more bright, that all they had to do was look.
My last memory of him was on the boat while we were on the lake in June. I didn't take a photo. I've thought about that decision many times. But we spoke about old times and future times. How could we know?
I love you Brad! We will forever miss you from our family events and future memories. We will toast to your memory always! Take your rest. Be with your little Cowboy. Give him your wisdom and love, then watch over them all from where you are. And most of all, I hope you have a way to understand what we cannot: the why.
