Ready, Aim, Fire ~ Blowing a Hole in the Past

This was a symbolic moment so I’m sharing it. I’ll share a lot more once I get a new camera. (hint hint hint) I was leaving to catch a plane for Albany in the below video when I decided to take aim and fire at a soda can.

The sound is whack but you get to see me shoot a gun.

So you can watch and know what’s going on this is what I said:

This is a symbolic moment because that can out there represents a past of addictions.  A dear friend of mine, you know who you are, was so addicted to that stuff it was crazy. I don’t think she ever drank water.  She would drink that by the case.  It also represents Anonymous’ favorite drink.  And now I’m just gonna blow it up.

“Hurry up, I gotta catch a plane.”

You just never see her – that’s why she’s Anonymous.

So now that we’re in 2010 and the resolutions have been set, how are yours doing?  What things in the past are you blowing up?

    Thank you. That video is hilarious. And it was such a perfect moment too, wish we'd had a better camera and shot it from more than one angle too. 1-2-3-BAM! Hehehe
