Crazy Man Dancing In Best Buy
Earlier this week, the man took me to Austin for a little business. Sandwiched between business and the flight out of Mecca, I got to spend some quality time at Waterloo Records.
Given a little bit longer taste of Texas, I’m sure that I could have given this dude a run for his money.

It’s always sad to see summer fade away…then a little man on a field full of giants kicks off and the choir of angels singing the hallelujah chorus drowns all the blues away.
Viva La Pigskin!

This week, we honor the Olympic Games.
Asian Backstreet Boys
Via the Wiki of Pedia, here’s the backstory on Wei Wei and Huang Yi Xin a.k.a. The Back Dorm Boys
As many fans do not know the real names of the Back Dorm Boys, Wei Wei is often called simply “the big one” and Huang Yi Xin “the small one”. In most videos, Wei Wei is seated on the viewer’s right and Huang Yi Xin on the left. Huang Yi Xin has a cast on his left arm in some early videos from when he got hurt playing basketball.
The Back Dorm Boys made their first video just for fun, to show to their friends. They had seen a funny 10-second lip sync video, and wanted to try creating something similar for an entire song. They completed their first video in March 2005, after much trial and error. They uploaded the finished video to the local network at their college. The other students liked it very much so that they helped to spread the videos out. The Back Dorm Boys made use of their art school education to help them prepare the composition, visual effects, and lighting in their videos.

It’s time to add a little more flair to wholebrevitything.com. C’mon, can’t we all use a little more flair?
So, here’s the newness: old stuff. Until everyone tires of this, In honor of one of my new favorite flicks, Be Kind Rewind, I’m going to post classic YouTube videos every Wednesday. Most likely, you’ll have seen these clips on the internets before, but with so much stuff out there, I’m hoping you’ll dig bumping into one of these old friends once again.
This week’s clip is a neo-classic:
“Star Wars according to a 3 year old”
Here’s the backstory from the little dudette’s dad:
Wow. What was expected to be a short movie that would circulate within a small circle of friends has turned into something much more very quickly. I’m thrilled that so many people have enjoyed this video but also somewhat mortified that I added this without my daughter’s knowledge or consent. Maybe someday she will find some humor in it.
A little more about the video: She wasn’t coached to say anything, nor was she forced to make the video. She rarely stops talking. Those of you with children understand this: sometimes it’s harder to turn the faucet off than to turn the faucet on.
