Three videos for your morning

Three videos cropped up in my perusal of the web today, and they all speak to me as a writer. I’m only going to imbed one of them (one is totally NSFW) and you can follow the links to the others. 1) Toddler fails at hula hoop

I love this. It reminds me that we all need to define success on our own levels, not others’. For the older girl, success was doing the hula hoop her way. For her brother, well, success was something different, but you can tell by his face, he succeeded and was terribly pleased.

2) Not Time Management

Chris Brogan reminds us who has control over our lives and our time.

3) **** Me, Ray Bradbury

This is not safe for work or children.

And there are probably several of you who will not appreciate the humor because, admittedly, it is blatantly sexual. (See the title.) Don’t follow the link if you think you’ll be offended. But here’s what I got out of this: Once we become public personas, we lose control of some of our image. If you want fame, you have to accept that others are going to view you in ways you may not be comfortable with. From what I know about Ray Bradbury, I can’t see him liking this video much. On the other hand, as a fan, and knowing other fans and writers, I see it as a hysterical and honest homage to the man, and a much-needed appreciation for books and reading. Sure, it’s overblown satire, but that’s what makes it funny.
