Helloooooo Down There!
Yup. I’m on a plane right now. Probably contemplating my potential untimely demise. (That sentence is going to be sooooooo tasteless if I actually do die in a crash, you know.)
Videos will be up later today. In the meantime… uh… why don’t you enjoy this video of prisoners dancing to Thriller. I found it via Shaken & Stirred.

Stay up! Stay up!
gotta say, just don’t get the video. I found it pretty depressing. Hope the trip was fun.
There was a news article up about this video not too long ago. It discussed how in this particular prison the prisoners are now fans of dance. They learn choreography, steps, timing, everything. I find it great. Yeah, being in jail is depressing, but getting everyone to WANT to know how to do the Thriller dance? That’s worth a full pound of awesome right there. Oh, and I lied about more videos today. I’m pooped. More next week then.
Well, your heart’s in the right place. Just hard for me to enjoy.
Understood.
