When Will the God of DVDs Pour an Airborne Rain?

The title of this entry may sound more like rhetorical prose. It is actually a beg and a plea. It leads me to ask the following: How can something so good be so ignored? Is it because it is so good that the masses aren't worthy of it? Is it pearls before swine? These questions and more haunt me almost every day I live an airborne-on-DVD-less life.

Airborne, starring phenoms on the rise like Jack Black and Seth Green is more your average rockin rollerblade romantic comedy, it's an epic tale of love, victory, and wisdom. Mitchell Goosen, the star and hero, displays wisdom far beyond his experience and longevity. When Mitchell's somewhat desperate and comical cousin Wiley (Seth Green) needs advice on how to acquire a lady friend, Mitchell teaches a sermon for the ages:

Mitchell Goosen - Popeye, now there was a great man. Do you know why?

Wiley - He never joined the Hairclub For Men?

Mitchell Goosen - Wrong. Because his motto was: I am what I am. Do you think Popeye ever worried about what he wore just so he could get Olive Oil's attention? I should say not, Dude. And do you know why?

Wiley - He was gay?

Mitchell Goosen - Because he is what he is.

A movie as inspiring as it is comical shan't and won't be kept in the dungeon of corporate America any longer. There is a webpage dedicated to trying to coerce the Big Wigs at Warner Bros. to release the movie on DVD. On the webpage there is a link to a web-petition pleading the same. I have already signed my name in cyber-blood on the petition and the only question that remains is, will you live up to you duty as an American citizen and do the same? Will we let corporations and not democracies run our lives? I plead with you to visit this website and make a difference.

dancing, sailing, and all other fine things in life

I'll start with the best thing first. Dallas, a friend Bret met in the Berkeley singles ward, decided to become a skipper and learn how to sail and then he decided to bless our lives with his knowledge and talents and take us on the vast waters of the San Francisco Bay. On Saturday morning Courtney, Alisa, Dallas, Bret and I headed off for the inaugural sail of Skipper Dallas (if he ever finds this I'm sure he'll be thrilled to be regarded as "skipper", and not "captain" or "head of the ship"). I'll cut to the chase, we sailed out of Sausalito and into the bay and right next to the Golden Gate Bridge and we ate cheese and herb slab, cookies, and tomato mozzerela salad, and all became members of the Alameda chapter of the finer things club. Here are some pics....





sorry, I'd like to write more but we are on stolen internet until the internet man comes to set up ours, so this is being very difficult, I will write more when I have a substantial connection. (also, if you live in alameda and your internet is called "cksmart" if you could reset your modem, that'd really help us out).
