Jim Guittard Music Publicity Animation Video
I came across xtranormal.com and made this little piece. At Xtranormal.com you can write little scripts and make animation figures act them out. The site is cool. I had to pass it on.
Here’s my first little thing I did:

Oregon Vs. Texas
I arrived to Portland via Bulgaria, a rather long route but in my observations it seems to be a really swell and friendly town. Quite amazing really.
Compared to Bulgaria or Texas the public transport was pleasant. The riders did not have their heads down. They were actually talking to each other. And the bus driver said, “have a nice day” to nearly every person that exited the bus. It was almost comical.
One lady who exited apparently was carrying bread in a sack. The bus driver yelled through the door to the outside to see where lady bought her bread. And she did not hear him and so he kept asking.
What is the deal with Texas?!? I have lived there most of my life and have never had this pleasant experience. People in general keep to themselves.
Another kid on the Portland bus was talking about being kicked out of house in Texas and running away, etc. And he kept saying he just wants to be himself. Is it so difficult for parents or family to understand this?? Texas to me seems so rigid and opinionated. Hey, post some comments. Let’s get it out there.
I’m tired of facing the same crap every single time I go back to Texas.

Flippity Flop
I can’t stop.
I got lyrics in my head
That’s got to be said.I may be a hoodlum type.
But I’m ripe.
Ready to blow up big
Eat a fig.People say, “They won’t take one like you.”
Well maybe I’ll sue.
Lock ‘em all up in the zoo.I’m not through.
I’m one of the few,
Elite H.P. Crew.Hillcrest is the drag
To get your Jack’s bag
Scarf and hopefully not gag.Wade in the fountain at S.M.U.
That’s the bomb when you’re blue.I’m no criminal.
I’ve been to shrinks
To make me think.
Only makes me want to puke in the sink.What’s wrong with a different path?
I’m not a business man, lawyer or M.D.
I’m just me.What else can I be?
A faker stuck in a tree
After another shopping spree?The World hurts as we sit by
Listen to them cry and we only lie.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ve got things to buy.”“Get it together man.
Have you got a plan?
You’ll be stuck in a van,
Getting a tan.”
While others say. “what a shame.
He had such a good name.”I’ve got places to see.
I’m a rambler just like
Woody Guthrie who said“Ramblin’ around your city.
Ramblin’ around your town.
I never see a friend I know.
As I go ramblin’ ’round boys.
As I go ramblin’ ’round boys.”

Man Almost Decapitated by Bus Door
Class Clown
Once upon a time there was an idiot. The idiot began to lose his mind. He forgot his name so he signed up to go to school. At school, he learned to curse, throw paper, and yell. It was fun for him. But then one day, the teacher gave him bad marks and he went home crying to his parents. His parents forgave him and he went back to school and became the class clown. As class clown, he ruled over the classroom like a king. Everyone laughed and thought well of him. But the boy, constantly needed attention. His hysteria was a cover for his sad loneliness. One day, he forgot how to laugh. He lost all purpose as did his followers. Now he lives like a slave to his own fears and stupidity. He’s come full circle and is an idiot again.
Man Almost Decapitated by Bus Door
Today, I was riding a city bus in Sofia, Bulgaria. The buses are fairly old but that doesn’t bother me. My girlfriend and I had been walking in the rain with umbrellas and got on.
We got on and I casually noticed an old man walking past me for the exit of bus at the back. I didn’t think much more about him until about two minutes had passed. My girlfriend and I had punched our tickets and were sitting. As we were sitting, I heard some screaming that sounded muffled or not very loud. I looked around and saw that the old man was stuck in the bus exit. His head was the only part that was out of the bus. The door was completely shut.
I immediately stood up and went to see if I could open the door. The man was screaming outside the closed door. I screamed at my girlfriend and she and other Bulgarians screamed to “Stop the Bus,” and to “Open the door.”
The bus stopped and the door was opened and the old man jumped off immediately to the rain and I suppose was okay. I was rather disturbed by seeing this. Makes you think about everything around you and to be on guard.
Never Leaving The Back Yard
What is so great about familiar things? Doesn’t it just keep us in a stagnant state of being? There are those who sit in their back yard and gaze at the birds feeding. Some people live through the experiences of what others do. They are too afraid to leave their back yard or the painfully comfort surroundings they live in. Or they are too tied down to obligation. Obligations to American Idol, the latest gossip, etc. Whatever.
For me, I’ve got to get out of my back yard. I can’t stand it maybe. I feel as if my life is a waste if I stick with the familiar. What is the point really in sitting around and not having adventures? I don’t know. I make up my life as I go. It has always been like this. Am I a freak for wanting adventure or change? Is it a crime to be idealistic? Is it stupid to rise above the brainwashing skepticism of the World?
The world is what I make it. It’s about self-reliance, independence, and faith. Have we lost all this? Must we rely on Government or Obama to solve our problems?
Suggestion: Get out of your back yard. There’s a whole world out there.
The American Dream Has Been Outsourced
Do you remember how Hunter S. Thompson was searching for the American Dream in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
Well, the American Dream has been outsourced overseas. In what country it resides is a mystery. With all the bad economy, dream seekers have gotten the hell outta Dodge.
You say, “This is an outrage!” Yeah, it is an outrage.
Our nation is the most divided it has been since probably the Civil War or at least the 1960s. In 2009, we aren’t killing each other as in the Civil War but a war IS going on and I don’t mean the Iraq or Afghanistan Wars.
The present war is a war of ideas, principles, and the American Dream is quickly being put to shame.
The Framers in the Declaration of Independence guaranteed the following:
“That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
It further states that, “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Folks, something is completely out of whack as they say and we must do something.

Weird New America
Yeah, I was bored and wanted to make fun of myself and the whole youtube deal of fame by making 4 stupid videos. Each video built on the prior video. You can hear the audio of video 1 in video 2 and in video 3 you can hear the audio from video 1 and 2 and in video 4 you can hear the audio in video 1, 2, and 3. This was the first videos I made with my webcam.
It’s a collage of sound. Most of life, we interact and get ideas from film and T.V. and so it was like I was in the film interacting with myself in real life. Weird I know but you’ll understand when you watch. I also put in miscellaneous commercials because I get tired of the commercials in America that brainwash us.
Here’s Video 1:
Here’s Video 2:
Here’s Video 3:
Here’s Video 4:
There are at least 3 partial songs in the videos. Can you name them?
Mockery Driven Purpose
Have you ever thought that our real enemy is ourselves? America is falling from the inside not because of terrorists or other outside forces. Americans need to get up from their deep sleep and take our country back.
What was America built and founded on? Why did our ancestors come here? Have we lost our roots?
Now alot of us are all driven by a purpose of mockery: money at all costs, prestige, sex, fame, notoriety, wealth and fortune. I don’t think our founding fathers would want to be a part of our current culture.
What can we do? Demand better, resist fear, greed, anxiety, and mockery driven purposes. Everybody is wondering. What next? Must I stay in this never-ending situation? What should I do? What does it all mean? Does God care? Why should I care anymore?
Get up.
