Gonna Have to Face It

I'm addicted to creativity.

Creative people doing creative things gives me a creative bo ... nah, I don't think you're ready for that phrase yet. Here's the latest video that has me all worked up:

That video is amazing. Some dude (user name ant1mat3rie to be exact) spent hours finding footage, editing it together, and blessing the world with his creation.

Sometimes I get frustrated with humanity. Especially when I follow political or religious discourse. Too many people are racist, sexist, and homophobic. Too many people are angry. Too many people are uneducated. Too many people are ethnocentric. The amount of ignorance can be overwhelming and deflating. (And I'm just talking about myself.)

But then I stumble upon the creative geniuses (or I'm lucky enough to have friends like Joe Boyd, Brad Wise, Jason Boys, and Kevin Fragassi who find gems for me). I often get lost on YouTube in a sea of creativity.  Every time I do, it gives me hope. There are still creative geniuses out there. Humanity can still laugh at itself. In my opinion, one of the highest forms of intelligence is comedy. Funny people are smart. (I know what you're thinking: What about Larry the Cable Guy, Steve? Trust me, that man is a genius. Larry the Cable Guy is a character played by Daniel Lawrence Whitney to make millions off naive fans. Real cable guys aren't rich and famous.) When I watch videos like this, I feel at peace knowing the world is going to be okay:

If you don't think history class would have been better if the teacher had been wasted while lecturing, then watch this video.

Last one: Click here to watch my favorite political campaign ad on YouTube. Newt would probably get more votes if he actually made that much sense.

Be cool, okay? And be creative. It makes me happy.
