Further thoughts from Nimblethimble. Videocomment for LVbianSynic.

My reply to LVbianSynic

O woe is me on your machine
cuz you're not there at home
I called you once
that's more than 25 cents
and now I'm all alone
So call me now when you get home
and don't just take your time
And when you call don't   more...be surprised
if you're machine's like mine  less

I believe in God.... and fairies... and cookies.
(note my fine Swedish pronunciation of the word "first")

...a cautionary tale about forgetting to clap...

Happy birthday, Ghingis.

I know you expected a serious song, but neither one of us are very serious about ANYthing so this will have to do. You'll see, though,   more...that I worked very long and hard on this, so you better damn well LIKE it.

You, friend, have been there for me, always...even from a thousand miles away, I feel your unconditional love. You take my bullshit, laugh at my stupid jokes, check in consistently, support me in my creative endeavors, you cheer me on, you listen to me, and you even feed me fine meats on my birthday :o)

I do, indeed, love ya love ya love ya, gal.  less

I'm focusing   more...(mostly) on 10 fears this year (see "Top 10 Fears for 2008).Each will be preceded by an invitation to submit your thoughts in video form or in text to possibly be included in the next fear vid about that particular fear. This is the first one.
____________________________________
Here are the questions:

* Do you have a hard time with relationships?
* What IS intimacy?
* What are the elements of healthy intimacy?
* Can you be healthy and be single?
* Can you evolve spiritually in a relationship as much as you can as a single person?

Livevideo members LVbianSynic and BaronDixon boogie down to disco parody style in the LV Disco Dancers

Fear can make you a stranger to yourself.

This was what I needed to say in response to seeing the movie, "The Brave One" with Jodie Foster. It's all about how fear in the form of rage can change   more...you. To me, the title of the movie is ironic, but the audience seemed not to think so.

The scenes here are from that movie.  less

This was part of CollectiveSoul's September collaboration by NobodysChild99. I chose SedonaLeigh2007's Diction Challenge From Hell (back in March) as her signature vid- not easy to do when choosing among   more...vids that showcase her humor, her badass editing skills, her intellect, and her sex-appeal.
I chose the Diction Challenge because it was the first vid I think I'd ever responded to of hers and it still haunts me to this day, as I'm sure it did the many other members of LV and YouTube who tried it.

This is my mantra.
Generally, the poem is interpreted as a feminist call for women to rediscover their authentic selves outside the roles given them by a largely patriarchal society.

However, I put it in   more...the context of my own life, as someone who basically lives in a reflective stance, always willing to mine the past for treasures, while choosing not to live there.

While I appreciate and understand Rich's intent, I don't see the meaning as being valuable only to women.

It's for anyone who's not afraid of the darkness, and can see the book of myths for what it is.

<b>Diving Into The Wreck</b>
by Adrienne Rich

<i>First having read the book of myths,
and loaded the camera,
and checked the edge of the knife-blade,
I put on
the body-armor of black rubber
the absurd flippers
the grave and awkward mask.
I am having to do this
not like Cousteau with his
assiduous team
aboard the sun-flooded schooner
but here alone.

There is a ladder.
The ladder is always there
hanging innocently
close to the side of the schooner.
We know what it is for,
we who have used it.
Otherwise
it is a piece of maritime floss
some sundry equipment.

I go down.
Rung after rung and still
the oxygen immerses me
the blue light
the clear atoms
of our human air.
I go down.
My flippers cripple me,
I crawl like an insect down the ladder
and there is no one
to tell me when the ocean
will begin.

First the air is blue and then
it is bluer and then green and then
black I am blacking out and yet
my mask is powerful
it pumps my blood with power
the sea is another story
the sea is not a question of power
I have to learn alone
to turn my body without force
in the deep element.

And now: it is easy to forget
what I came for
among so many who have always
lived here
swaying their crenellated fans
between the reefs
and besides
you breathe differently down here.

I came to explore the wreck.
The words are purposes.
The words are maps.
I came to see the damage that was done
and the treasures that prevail.
I stroke the beam of my lamp
slowly along the flank
of something more permanent
than fish or weed

the thing I came for:
the wreck and not the story of the wreck
the thing itself and not the myth
the drowned face always staring
toward the sun
the evidence of damage
worn by salt and away into this threadbare beauty
the ribs of the disaster
curving their assertion
among the tentative haunters.

This is the place.
And I am here, the mermaid whose dark hair
streams black, the merman in his armored body.
We circle silently
about the wreck
we dive into the hold.
I am she: I am he

whose drowned face sleeps with open eyes
whose breasts still bear the stress
whose silver, copper, vermeil cargo lies
obscurely inside barrels
half-wedged and left to rot
we are the half-destroyed instruments
that once held to a course
the water-eaten log
the fouled compass

We are, I am, you are
by cowardice or courage
the one who find our way
back to this scene
carrying a knife, a camera
a book of myths
in which
our names do not appear.</i>  less

waaahhh...sniffle sniffle
