Journal Juggling

dadadadioI've decided to keep my LJ account active and maintain two journals. There are a few people over there I like who will not leave LJ, and that's okay, but I don't want to lose touch. I'm especially fond of OgreVI who creates excellent videos on YouTube, some related to atheism, and links them to LJ. His style is unique, using hand drawn cartoons, and his soothing Virginian accent is perfect for narration. I can't say enough about how good his videos are and I'm happy to say he has hundreds of followers on YouTube.
I will occasionally drop a link to an LJ post here and visa versa.
I have a post about the 9/11 anniversary. I cannot decide if I should publish it. My opinion of media obsession and over-rememberance is probably more common than I think it is, but I suspect people who feel as I do keep their opinions to themselves. I suppose there's no need to pour salt in the wounds of those who insist on reliving every horrible moment ..... but I feel strongly against digging up 9/11.
My attempts to disconnect from politics have not been successful but I have not blogged about the ridiculous rancor I read about daily. Life is challenging enough without being angry about things I cannot change.
My Ogre friend's video work caused me to buy software and try my hand at making a video. It's harder than I thought, but it's not the Photoshop and Premiere Elements software, I'm learning. I have a very hard time liking the results of my labor. I find images for my slide show, I write and record my dialogue, but when I review the connected work I find my self in neverending edit mode. It does not help that I dislike my recorded voice.
A few weeks ago I decided to put it away, take a break, and come back to it when inspiration strikes. Someday I'll post a video but I have no idea when.
