This is AWESOME.

I particularly like the upbeat singer with his face burned off...

Cmon TYT. She's a morning correspondent. They're supposed to be happy and upbeat and report on nothing. It's just for fun. You went too far.

I like this video, it's a little more serious from him than Im used to seeing. He seems like a creative guy and seems upbeat about it all. I like watching his videos and comments on submitted videos. Hope he keeps it up now that he's out, and he's super lucky he's not an American since he was quarantined for half a year.....that'd be like the national debt in costs, or near enough not to matter.

Upbeat, Human/municipal Interest Story

Just to say that since seeing the film, I also read the comic which has been improved in many ways for the cinema.

One of those rare instances where the source material, when adapted smartly, works better at the cinema. To cite an example Watchmen was a failure imo but they knocked this one out of the park. And it's more upbeat which I liked.

I *cough* may, or may not have watched that season of "The Biggest Loser"

and trust me.. that girl deserved it. The trainer (bob) is the one that every contestant wants to get because he's always positive and upbeat.. and that's what Joel did to him.

She was lazy, she made tons of excuses.. there was a challenge where they placed a single piece of fried chicken infront of the contestants and said "eat it, you get $100" testing their commitment to losing weight. She was the only person who ate it.

And it was a couples thing, so she was their with a friend.. and the friend who went HOME (Because they split all the pairs until mid-season, and the remaining contestants partners got brought back) lost more weight then she did.

This song and video just blows me away. I've taken to looping it when things get rough...much as I used to do with Pink Floyd when I was young. It's got so very many facets that resonate with my own personal history that it has forced me into the stereotyped reaction; it feels like she wrote this song specifically for me.

It's so rare to find a truly melancholy song that actually ends on an upbeat, without getting all preachy and saccharine. She has managed to remind me that life really does have it's high points...and that I really need to open my eyes and appreciate them. That makes this the kind of song one hopes to discover, but it's more than you could ever actually ask from a songwriter...it's a damned happy day when it all comes together.

So, I promise you one thing. This video -will- end up getting sifted. Even if it takes me five more years to get the votes! I've got points, and I'm not afraid to use them. LOL

*promote

eww../cringes
that had to have hurt.
but the *music was pretty upbeat for an *electronica carnage video.

That upbeat J-pop tune is the only thing keeping us from mass hysteria.
Picture this video with the theme from Halloween playing in the background, and you'll recognize the truth:
As soon as this guy can operate a can opener, humans are history.

This looks just like a computer game I played quite a bit in the 90's. You were a fish or seal, and you could extend yourself to reach stuff high up. Can't remember much more, but the graphics were very similar and the music was chipper and upbeat just like here!


You are probably thinking of James Pond another great platformer...

Go fuck yourself, Knoxville! *upbeat playout song starts*

SGU is still on probation in the NetRunner household. I'm still waiting for them to come up with a theme other than survival. For example, give us some antagonists, or at least some compelling potential benefit from discovering the ship.

I also liked the initial offering of V. I'm curious how many episodes it will take before the teabaggers start carrying reptilian Obama signs.

I've also been watching FlashForward. I loved the novel, and the series is definitely taking a very different direction than the novel (the Flashforward in the novel was a freak accident, not part of a shadowy plot).

I'm looking forward to the Prisoner remake that's coming in a couple weeks.

As much as I like all this new/remake Scifi, I do find myself craving a nice, predictable, upbeat Star Trek series. Everyone wants to be the new Battlestar Galactica, but no one seems to be going for that simple morality play format that Roddenberry pioneered.

I'm getting sick of antiheroes in my sci-fi.

Paramecium like to listen to upbeat folk music when they eat.
Noted.

have you heard me tell the stories about the adventures in lunacy ive taken with the mentally ill? theyre comedic tragedy gold.
one day im going to write a dual-autobiographical broadway musical. starring me and my male equivalent and our parallel adventures in abuse and insanity.

itll be a boy meets girl story. the boy and the girl meet. fall madly in love and live parallel lives of solitude and insanity. mostly on separate continents. they come from broken abusive families. they tear through life destroying romantic relationship after romantic relationship. they live in constant fear of failure so they run from every opportunity that presents itself and hermit themselves away from almost all people. they live into old age, dying alone of the diseases they gave themselves through systematic abuse, hepatitis c and emphysema respectively.

itll be beautiful. the songs will be upbeat and vibrant of course because really they really really are songs about happy people in a happy life. you just have to use sad words to describe them.

I understand now. Can't you work towards comi-tragic?

oh the avatar is a tally count of comedy vs tragedy.
tragedy is clearly winning.
i think im in a tragedy.
ending it all in a duel was the only dignified way to go.
you and your second have denied me my dignity, thanks jerks.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
I point to your avatar. I blame my absence at the appointed time and place of our duel on my second. He's got no stomach for such brutal affairs.

In reply to this comment by peggedbea:
tsk tsk old kitty.
what the hell are you pointing to?
and dont flatter yourself, youre nowhere near the top of my shit list.
and you had your chance too. you totally blew it.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
^Is that your shit-list? Am I at the top?

In reply to this comment by peggedbea:
you're late for our duel.
this slight can only be interpreted as cowardice on your part.
for shame kitty kitty, for shame.
