so this isn’t high-budget Jamiroquai-style music video makin’, but this is by far one of the best and most entertaining videos i have ever seen…. they definitely can’t dance like Jay Kay but dammit it’s brilliant! (at times it almost reminds me of the dancing in The Full Monty)
ok go - here it [...]

so something i have noticed about myself is that if i get out of the habit of doing something it takes a supreme amount of self-discipline to get myself back on track. i have been horribly derelict in my duties as far as this blog goes, the holidays really worked me over as far as [...]
