By now, I am sure you are privy to the different ways in which folks are reacting to our recent presidential election results. To say the least, I am disappointed that folks are separating themselves, in some cases life long relationships, from physical, social and virtual relationships, as a result of the way someone voted or not. These lines in the sand are not only dividing relationship, they are dividing lines of communication for understanding and healing.
Humor and satire are always a great means for viewership of a topic that seems otherwise unapproachable to some. Recently a friend posted a comment on face book with the photo below as motivation. Most of the folks who commented, had an opinion pro and con one or the other of our Presidents. I posted the comment below:
Right now Mr. Trump is a guest and future resident, being shown some of the rooms, passageways and dumb-waiters of a very large multi-leveled historical house. l sense President Obama has just introduced him and family, to a wink of vision and scope of reality that must be experienced to fully grasp; A reality I only think fully digestible well into or even post the experience. Holding the keys to that house is no light task. I think he is considering what is in store for him, feeling what may be similar to the equation of a virgin tripper on 20 hits of blotter just starting to tingle, and perhaps thinking something along the lines of.....whooooooa shit, heavy man...heavy! Well, Breathe man... Brrreeeeeaaaathe, the ride is still climbing, you've still got the coasts, drops and rolls to go bro...hehehehe...By now we know this is a photo from Mr. Obama and Mr. Trump meeting, for the first time ever I may add, at the White House. Over the years, I though what it may be like to be President and what I may do in the case of a particular situation. The varying states of love and hate, in combination with the varying states of tolerance and intolerance, have led me to believe we need a new way of looking, approaching and communicating with others and our own selves. If you look at my recent facebook posts- https://www.facebook.com/LCASHN -you will be able to read and view some of how I feel about life and the current state of our Nation.
I continued with another thought today. Playing with films of a couple of the worlds more noted artists of parody and play, Monte Python's film the Meaning of Life and Cheech and Chong's film Nice Dreams, I decided to make a very quick video commentary/short as an addition to my reply, to my friends Facebook post. I grabbed the CNN cut of the interview from YouTube, and added the short press corps statement to a few excerpts from the above films. For Better of for worse, attached to this entry of my blog, is the video.....Engage it at first view, comment and go forward, hopefully with at least a chuckle, or view it more than one and witness the parallel's, trippy connections, references and ironic final mention of "it's always the last one..." and the corresponding scene "...that gets 'ya". If for some reason you are not able to view the video here, check my Facebook-Notes section or
