THERE IS TOO MUCH FUN IN MY LIFE AND IT ALL HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE, SO I AM GOING TO SHARE IT WITH YOU! EACH POST IS SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO THAT IS FREE-RELATIVELY CHEAP, CREATIVE, ALCOHOL FREE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY RIDICULOUS.

Moving Music Video

Alright... I think its time to get this blogging business going again, considering now I have all kinds of new married shenanigans to share!


Since my last post, I have gotten both




                                                                Engaged








                                                                                  &




   Married!

To the wonderful man, in previous posts, referred to as my "partner in fun."








My extended absence from my post as recorder of all things fun is horrifically unacceptable, and I apologize from the bottom of my heart.  Before we get to the real meat of this post though, let me just say, from my two weeks of experience, getting married is fun!  NOT CHEAP though, and there was a fair amount of alcohol, so I'm not going to spend any time writing out the steps for that.  Just know that marriage and weddings/receptions have a stamp of approval from The Art of Having Fun.

The following fun was had on the seven hour drive home from our honeymoon in Gatlinburg.

Heres your how to:

YOU WILL NEED:
            A GPS holder(?) the thing that holds it on the window
A cell phone with video capabilities
1/2 of a starburst (any color)
A music source
Lack of inhibition(as usual)
at least one other person(for safety)

HOW TO:
Note: This activity is intended to be done in the car.  For safety, steps 1 and 2 as well as all other button pushing should be done by the passenger, NOT the driver.
1.  Suction only the stand of a GPS to the windshield, as if you were going to use it for its intended purpose.
2.  Affix phone to the stand with the starburst and turn on video camera. See picture.
3.  Pick a song all parties know, songs with multiple parts make for the most entertainment.
4.  Practice the song without filming and assign parts.
5.  Practice again, because you realize you made up half of the words you just said.
6.  Listen to the song, without singing, to hear the actual words.
7.  Argue about the lyrics.Like so...

(I was so positive... but I was wrong)
8.  Final run through, with motions.
9.  Start video, start music and perform.
10.  Repeat until your camera, your music source, or your vocal cords die. (In our case, it was all three)
11.  View and laugh, then post on a public forum.

Here are our creations.  Notice that one of the "things you need" is NOT a good singing voice, formal training, or performance experience.  Luckily Garret and I are a triple threat and are anticipating a recording contract by putting these videos on the internet.


A Whole New World (This song started this project... if i t hadn't played on shuffle, who knows where we would be)













Hakuna Matata
   I Wanna Be Like You (Garret made me do this one... I obviously don't know the words)

I Won't Say I'm In Love














I Can Go The Distance
















*My Personal Favorite* I'll Make A Man Out Of You


Sorry about the weird page layout, the multiple videos were giving me attitude.

I hope these are not one of those things that are only funny to us because we made them, if so, sorry, but you should still make your own.
