24 Hours of Happy (12AM)
So, my previous post talked about double posting, and it is actually TRIPLE posting.
I discovered Pharrell William's 24 Hour Music Video of him and tons of people dancing to his song Happy over and over again over the course of 24 hours. Angry that I didn't know about this video (and worse, not knowing they had auditions and filming in November, which I KNOW I would have gotten cast) I've decided to watch the entire 24 hour video. The song certainly keeps me positive while I'm unemployed!
Also, since I've heard Let it Go five thousand times, I think hearing Happy 360 times won't be so bad.
The 12AM Hour was... well, they were at a Mobile gas station for a very long time. Two of the people dancing were amazing! One guy did a slow motion dance that was incredible, and one girl used a lot of the station as props for her dance. A few other dancers were entertaining, but a few dancers were very static, and the worse offense was the amount of FILLER. One part of the video was just showing the section of Despicable Me 2 where the song was playing, and then, aside from one nice dancer at the end of the hour, all the time after 12:40 was dedicated to female motorcyclists driving in the streets of LA.
While I found that part dull, it did make me long for Los Angeles in a way I've never longed for it before. My biggest moment in life was cemented in that town, as was my worst audition. I've experienced two extremes in that city, but they were experiences I could never replicate here in DC. The great things I could accomplish in LA are not greater than DC, they're just different, and they are not what I want. Moving out to LA just feels impossible with college loans and credit cards hanging over my head. And watching those streets fly by, with so many lights and curious locations.... ugh.... I've never regretted going to college so badly.
Maybe if I had held on to that dream a little longer, I might have stayed working at my old job. But I think quitting work was a sign that I was giving up on dreams. =( Oh well...
On to the 1AM hour!
