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.”

Angela Shelton with her gunFor those of you who have seen my movie you know who Anonymous is.  For those who haven’t, please get a copy, or go watch it for free.  Anonymous inspired me to write my book.  She drank a case of Busch Beer a night.  A case!  At the core of that addiction was a very harsh past of abuse by her father.  She is the through-line narration of my documentary, Searching for Angela Shelton. 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?

    I love that first picture of you…it is so cute!

    Great video! I love the idea of “blowing up” past addictions and unhealthy habits.

    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
