One Giant Jump wins an award
As many of you know, I produced, directed, wrote and starred in One Giant Jump: The Mike Lacroix Story, a vibrant homage to the human spirit through the introspective look of one man’s personal involvement in an Earth-shattering event. It was stated that One Giant Jump had been “an acclaimed part of the World Jump Day celebrations.” Now, in the minds of some people, such a statement was considered as being unfounded, a self-promoting piece of copy without any actual facts or quotes to back it up. It was implied that I just “made it up” for my YouTube description box. So for those of you who need “facts” and “proof” to feel more secure about your existence, allow me to shove this one right into your unkempt, smelly face:
One Giant Jump: The Mike Lacroix Story has won the contest for the best World Jump Day 2006 video.
Yes, fellow Gluemeaties, my movie has entered the panthenon of greatness which only a select, visionary few get to join. Forging a place in the collective consciousness is not a prize to be taken lightly, nor should it be ignored. I would propose that everyone screams this one at the top of their lungs for everyone to know. Or, at least, until your fingers bleed from typing it too much on discussion forums. Victory will come when One Giant Jump becomes a question in the Y2K edition of Trivial Pursuit.
Now some buzzkillers will try and ruin our fun by saying that I was not alone in victory; that, in “fact,” there were SEVEN videos which were selected as winners of the contest. Perhaps, but when you look at the winner’s page, look who is leading the pack:
I don’t think my thoughts are so far-fetched.As for my actual, physical prize, I’m getting a T-shirt which I will subsequently bronze and hang on my wall between my 6th grade Schoolympics “Nice Try!” badge and my Metal Edge Megadeth pull-out poster.
Are. . . You comparing Megadeth to elementary school?
If so, I support you.
The pull-out Megadeth poster has two vertical holes where the staples should be right over Dave Mustaine’s nose. It kind of makes him look like Ron Perlman in Beauty and the Beast.
which the by extension must make him look like Tom Waits. and if you’re comparing Dave Mustane to Tom Waits I can no longer be your friend.
You\’re the one who\’s daring to speak of Dave Mustane and Tom Waits in the same sentence.
…
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!!!
you’re the one who started it. also gravatar is gravasuck. It still is putting that tiny tiny icon up.
You should spend less time coming up with cute insults and more time emptying your cache. I get the full-sized icon.
I’ll clear your cache.
Tom Waits. . . for no man!
I AM SO FUNNY.
