And so they do. This is for Kate. If you are not Kate, you should go to http://omshanti.etsy.com/ and buy her stuff, and then smear it all over your body.

Epilonious hasn’t played these clips on his show yet, but he will. I think that by posting them in my own show, he’ll feel guilty about it and start using them.

I have a new obsession, Cartoon Brew, a prolific blog mostly about vintage animation. A couple of days ago, I discovered that Jerry had posted a video called “A Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Double Feature”. If you’ve payed attention at all, you should know how much I love Herb and The Brass, so it got my attention. It turns out, animator John Hubley won an Oscar for this short in 1966. (No, I don’t know who he is, either.) Anyway, this animation was posted on youtube and was rendered in excellent quality, and I wanted to make sure it survives any potential future stupidity, so I’m republishing it here. It’s a great little cartoon, with the classic Brass standards “Mexican Shuffle”, “Spanish Flea” and “Tijuana Taxi”, and I hope you enjoy it.

Of course they don’t make sense, I just wanted to see what the Fuzzy Gay Couch would make of a direct injection of Braindouche! zaniness. Thought it might be fun to confuse the gays.

With all these little clips, what to do? I put them to some music, and handed them over to Epilonious, because he’s always begging for voicemail.

Time is one of the most valuable commodities that we have. The Apostle Paul said we should run with purpose in every step.
Each day we have the same amount of time to use. If we use our emotional energy for the wrong purposes, focused on the negative, dwelling on who hurt us, we’re not going to have the energy we need for the right purposes. We’re not going to make the best decisions. We’re not going to be as creative with our gifts, and our talents won’t come out to the full. Part of living purposeful is to keep offenses, bitterness and grudges from robbing our energy. Like the sun shines brightly each day, that is how we ought to be; we shouldn’t let anything block our light.
With this gift of life comes a responsibility to develop our talents, to pursue our God-given goals, to become everything that He has created us to be. On a regular basis, reevaluate what you’re doing and how you’re spending your time. Refocus your life. Let go of any distractions. Shake off any self-pity, any discouragement, any disappointments and run your race with purpose. If you’ll run with purpose in every step, accepting and appreciating the gift today, then you are redeeming your time, and when you come to the end of your days, you’ll be able to say, “I have no regrets. I have spent my life well.”
