Prognosis: Feeling worse to feel better. Throat isn't on fire - but joints ache and body is sore. I think I beat this thing already. Usually the throat bothers me the most, so I think by tomorrow I should be on the upswing. Which means I'll get back to writing. Hell yeah.
So what do I have to present to you this morning?
How bout a damn powerful piece about the health of this current generation, not ours, but the one below us.
I won't go into details about the video - I'll let it speak for itself, since it has quite the voice, but I do have two quick thoughts about it.
1.) The kid who wants more hamsters? He's my kinda guy. How could you not want more hamsters if you had five more years to live? This little dude is a realist. I like his style.
2.) Dark matter? Seriously? That kid has so much shit on his nose it's ridiculous. Who at that age knows what dark matter is!? I'm pretty sure I wasn't even interested in girls at that point - with their awkwardly shaped bodies and cooties. Ew. This kid is deff striving a little to much (Andrew Allen!?). Let's be honest, you're not going to find dark matter in five years.
But seriously, this piece is strong. It moved me. Kind of shocked me.
As it states - we're built to move, so lets get out there and do something about it - if not for us, then for them.
Ha - "I'd be the boss of all the chipmunks" - laughed out loud with that one!
ReplyDeleteOK - then I got to the message - I am not laughing anymore. This is FABULOUS - I am going to use it in my classes.
Live strong, Drew, and live LONG!
ieyu, ilys!
