| I hesitate to put this in the trip reports section because 1 - its not a trip report and 2 - I don't think that section gets too much traffic. I listened/watched a video on a lecture from Alan Watts. Powerful stuff. I really liked the message, so I put some different music to it and some footage from trips I've been on during the last 6 months. Now I have a video. Here's a link to it: If there's a general consensus to move it - then no problem, just let me know. Otherwise I hope you enjoy. |  FLAG |

I've got a video project in mind that I'll be working on for the next few months I think, so if that one turns out well then I will submit it. If it doesn't then I'll enter this one. Thanks for the support Puzman. Said - I'm really not sure. I was able to find that segment I used without any music on youtube, but I'm not sure what lecture it came from. Sorry. If I manage to find it I'll post back here. |  FLAG |
