Friday Night Videos

With another New Year coming this week, it seems appropriate to show a time lapse video that includes cities around the world:


With the new year, we make more weight loss resolutions. With this back injury and constant pain, I've had decreased appetite and lost 25 pounds. I'd like to lose more in a  more intentional way. I have found this (and others) video very interesting:


I found the Lego story a bit inspiring this week. My pain returned with full steam and I was quite unhappy. This story brought a nice smile:


Finally, as we enter the new year, I hope we all find our greatness, as Nike put it:

Sandy posted this video on Facebook and I just HAD to post it here, too. It's beautiful and inspirational. It's worth watching the full video....it will speak to your heart in a tender and moving way. Louie Schwartzberg - Gratitude


Mister Rogers was a gentle giant. I like the remix Garden of Your Mind:


This week we had our back yard cleared out of weeds, dead trees, grass, etc....Now we have dirt. At first I wasn't sure what I'd do with this space, but I've wondered for many years about creating a bit of an urban homestead. It's a growing trend and I think it may be what I'll do.
Here's a couple of videos:
America Revealed (a favorite series of mine); this is a section of one of the episodes:


This urban farming video is more amateur...I like his other videos as well....his blog link is in the description of the video and worth following if any of this life is of interest.


Of course, the Dervaes family is the ultimate dream when it comes to an urban farm. I've posted other videos on this family, but here's a different one. Their FB page, blog and other information is in the description of this video. The next time I'm in LA, I want to see this family homestead in person.


So, I've been a huge fan of The Sims since the beginning....still play once in a while.  I stumbled across this video that makes me laugh......if you've played any of the Sims, you'll enjoy this one:

I want to have spring....and I've been "thinking spring" for a few weeks, now. One of the things that have made me smile, are the springtime videos I've loved.

This used to be one of my favorite songs as a little girl:

Another scene from Bambi:

Daffodils are one of my favorite flowers:

This one made me a little bit weepy...I love dogs. This is one more reason why:

I spent the last two days home sick...with a crazy cold, and most likely another sinsus infection. Grrrr!

Here are this week's video picks.

This is a crazy samarai fight with a 'shadow':

Sometimes, I like to see these kinds of mash ups:

I love this time lapse of space...recorded in Chile:

A fun and create way to reuse those beer bottles, I suppose:

I had a good week at work....some big changes are coming in our department and I'm kind of relieved. I love my job and enjoy my coworkers, but there has been tension in upper management that was beginning to trickle down. So much so, that when the changes were announced, and I returned to the office from a meeting, there was a noticeable change in the atmosphere. We have yet to see how these changes will truly affect us, though, right?

Here is my collection of videos for this week.

First up is Jon Stewart with Donald Rumsfeld. (I know. I hear it,too: the music of the emperor from Return of the Jedi. Am I right?) I have to say that I think Jon Stewart is so fun to watch and I love this interview:

Richard showed me this one about milk vs. malk vs. melk:

I enjoy playing Angry Birds on my phone and I thought this birthday cake was super cute:

When we were kids, we used to make snow hills in our back yard. And we had a very big back yard....but this is incredible:

I used to love watching Animaniacs...as an adult I find that it's a lot deeper than I remember knowing back when I watched it:

Speaking of the universe, this is a crazy time lapse video of the stars:

My last video for the week is a fun 'trailer' video:
