UPDATE: I’m officially calling this the 2010 Feel Good Project! We all need to feel good! Also, I’ve been receiving some questions, which are answered in the points below.
I just had a great idea. Or maybe a really bad idea. If no one participates, I’ll feel like a huge loser. :-p So, please send stuff in!
Ok, so you know how I’ve been talking about how it kinda got me bummed out about turning 25 and not having my life together yet? Well, I heard from people through comments and through email that I’m not the only one who feels that way. And you know what? It’s crap. We shouldn’t feel like that. We’re freakin’ awesome.
So, on my birthday, I’m going to post a video, set to “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. It’s just this feel-good song about having a good time and forgetting any worried you might have. The video is on YouTube here. And I’m going to dance to it. And maybe sing to it too. Because I gotta feelings that it is gonna be a good night, and a good year.
But I don’t want to do this alone. So here’s what I’m asking: Send me a video of you dancing/singing to this song too. My plan is to slash all the videos together to make a fun montage. Some important points:
~ You don’t have to show your face. Or you can use some creativity – shadowy lighting, big sunglasses, furry masks, whatever. I’m not going to name names, though, so it’s still fairly anonymous even if you do show your face. I’ll link to bloggers who want me to include their sites on the post, though!
~ I don’t want nakedness. I mean, if you want to show your butt or flash the camera your tits, that’s fine, but this isn’t about porn and I don’t want videos that have penis or vag. Fully clothed, in your undies, etc is fine!
~ Think you can’t take videos? Check your camera or phone. Many take short videos. I’m editing these together, so you don’ t have to send me a 5-minute video. It can be just ten seconds or so.
~ Send in your video by Valentine’s Day!
~ There can be more than one person in the video, as long as everyone is ok with me using it.
~ I need the actual file, not just a link to something you’ve uploaded to YouTube.
~ It’s ok if the video has no music or really crappy sound quality, since I’ll be taking out the audio anyway.
If you don’t have a camera, send me a picture with some sort of sign that says “We’re Awesome” or some variation. Write it on a piece of paper, use lipstick to write it on your cleavage… be creative.
Don’t worry about the quality. Just show your joy. It doesn’t matter that you’re however old and aren’t married or don’t have your dream job or aren’t financial stable. We’re fucking awesome, people.
Come on, guys. It’s my birthday! I’m sick of feeling bad about it, and about life. We all need a pick-me-up.
Oh, and, I’ll be giving away a cool prize for my birthday, and if you participate, I’ll give you an extra entry. More on that later!

I am 42 – soon to be 43 in days… and my life STILL isn’t *together.* lol.
Don’t worry so much about you life not being together – because then you won’t have anytime to actually enjoy it.
OK, it I knew how to do that . . . I still wouldn’t! I have been asked NOT to sign before. Can you say TONE DEAF???
As for the issue . . . FEW have their life together, some might fake it better . . . but revel in WHERE you are, progress in being true to yourself.
Really.
I know . .. tough to do, but DO IT.
