I felt like ranting tonight. My MacBook Air was sitting there, all innocent-like and whispering, "Why don't you do something with me now?" (Your computers don't talk to you? You should learn to listen better.) I'd never used iMovie. I didn't have a YouTube account, and everyone should have one of those.
Put it all together, and you get this:
the first--and possibly the last--installment of The way it is. (My close friends and co-workers have already heard versions of this particular rant; sorry, guys.)
By the way, yes, I am the old guy in the video, the one with a neck thicker than some folks' thighs. I'm sitting in the U of Power in my home office. Don't let those empty shelves behind me fool you; there's a plan for them, and the books they will hold already tower in vast stacks around the office.
Will I rant again? Hell if I know. I suppose I will if folks like this one and I feel like doing it, and I won't if, well, I don't feel like it.
I'm heading out tomorrow for another work week on the road, so I must get to writing, packing, and all of that good stuff.
Andy Rooney now has competition. You should definitely do more of these. Very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI know he doesn't, but thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Loved it! And it inspired me. Yesterday, I recorded myself reading from my first book to post on my blog for my fans who couldn't get to a booksigning/reading. But when I saw your YouTube rant this morning, I remembered that that I have webcam in my new Dell, so why the hell not? ; ) I just signed up for a YouTube account.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I look forward to seeing the video via your blog.
