Hey everyone: I'm feeling a bit sappy right about now. The holidays with palm trees and 70 degree weather is really weird I have to say...
I've been verrrry out of the loop lately, trying to keep up now and reconnect a bit. Anway, so I was a little dissappointed that I missed the remixvlog of November (under deadlines) - what the peeps at We are the Media did was awesome. I was listening to some holiday songs - and John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over) came on and an idea struck me... What if we all collaborated by lipsynching or shooting/editing/remixing footage to that song as a holiday vlog card for the President? What if we all did that, having each one of us add other vlogger's footage, or making one big vlog video card (or different versions) which features all of us and send it off to the President, VP, or world leader of choice. Everyone could take a stanza - as to not take the whole song and then it could be mixed around. Or, this is maybe a little too crazy - 38 vloggers for the 38 lines. Is that even possible? Now, I know many people don't celebrate Xmas, and many would rather stay out of the poltical spectrum, but the image of dozens of vlogger's faces on one video singing or being creative to this one song seems like such a powerful and hopeful message since it's not religious (although Xmas is in the title - go figure :))... I'm not talking bashing, I'm talking spurring on to do better than has been done... And it would just be great to see everyone working on this one thing that includes all of us... Is this just sappiness creeping in at 4am PST? You tell me. Here are the lyrics: So this is Xmas And what have you done Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Xmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very Merry Xmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Xmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Xmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight A very Merry Xmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Xmas And what have we done Another year over A new one just begun And so happy Xmas We hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very Merry Xmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear War is over, if you want it War is over now Happy Xmas So yeah, Happy and safe holidays everyone!
