Up Your Aspirations and Live Large

It's one of my beliefs that we are designed to Live Large.

Let me 'splain more about this for those who want to know what I mean. Have you heard the famous Marianne Williamson quote about our deepest fear is that we're inadequate? 

Here's the quote by Marianne in full:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
As a small muppet, I relish this quote. I cherish this quote. I live this quote so even though I may be small, I never play small.

Have a beautiful weekend and Live Large!

It's An Acquired Taste

I don't know where it began but I suspect it began by watching too many Saturday Night Live skits OR reviewing all the many self-serving documentaries as part of the voting academy for the Motion Picture Association.

These two sources began my taste for horrible acting and direction, and I acquired a taste for videos and films that are so bad they're good. Or as I prefer to say, they're so bad they're great.

And thusly my taste became an obsession and I now enjoy creating my own horrible YouTube videos. Might as well join in the fun, right? After all, I've made enough horrible films, I might as well make my own at this point.

This is what I conveyed to my therapist the other day when she asked why I think my videos are so funny. She doesn't get me, but a lot of people do. And those that get me are sophisticated, worldly, not-so-easily-amused, and perhaps a touch jaded.


Won't you join this very elite crowd and LIKE my Facebook page?


If you don't, you can always buy one of my posters on the street.


Was this post guilt-inducing enough? 


If not, I'll have to resort to more extreme measures.
