Of the few things I can say I’m really good at, my ability to procrastinate definitely makes the top 5. Anyone can do it, But only I can make the Olympics in it.
Yeah, I said it. I’m actually bragging about something that I feel, and I’m sure a myriad of scientists, sociologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, podiatrists, dentists, carpenters, plumbers and cartoonists would attest to my near epic abilities in this field.
I want you back here everyday. I will do everything I can to make that a reality. Eventually.
Frank, on the other hand, is still reeling from seeing the Commander Chris Hadfield “Space Oddity” cover yesterday.
I mean, I’ve seen this man at his highest highs and lowest lows… he’s been changed by it. I told him to write every feeling he had down… to somehow preserve the moments… but we all know how that goes. I’m sure he’ll get his act together this week sometime and write something… or draw something. I know that after he saw it for the first time, he didn’t even see the point of trying to create anything. It wasn’t that Hadfield’s voice was stellar, or that his musicianship was that of a virtuoso… it was just the fact that the emotions were there…
David Bowie wrote “Space Oddity” as a character in space…Contained in a spaceship in outer space. We all know that… But when Hadfield sings it… we can SEE he’s that character, he doesn’t have to act, outer space is RIGHT BEHIND him! It’s beautiful, it’s sad, it’s wonder, it’s amazing.
That whole video could easily be recreated on Earth using computers, SFX and some cameras. But what makes Hadfield’s video (i can’t believe I’m saying this) perfect is that it’s 100% real.
Okay, so I’m saying kinda what Frank would say if he wasn’t a pile of goo in front of YouTube right now.
