Shorts of all sorts!

Just when you thought there's nothing else you can waste your time on right after you've watched all the torrent-downloaded movies (copied from friends of course, because first and foremost you really don't have the patience to download your own torrent software, and second, you also lack the patience to wait for movies to download if you ever would finish downloading the software), and after you've also finished the e-books and e-comics that you also have copied from friends, and after you've of course gone through all the recent posts on Facebook, chatted some of those online, etcetera, etcetera, you decide to look for The Sandman or Neil Gaiman videos, but in the end, surprisingly, you are led to some silly, crazy, and some awfully touching shorts such as the these:

Distraxion

This one gave me a good laugh. This is saying, "Huwag mong mani-manihin ang cassette tape!" Haha!

 

This Side Up

As for this one, uhmm.. It's funny but I also feel kind of sad for the poor guy. I sympathize, because like I said in my intro, I really don't bother much about downloading because it drives me crazy! Even when you've got a really good DSL connection, I've got this feeling that something is still bound to fail. And this guy, well, he's probably still stuck with the dial-up era. Download music. And play it on the phonograph. Right. This is a crazy, crazy short. 

Cat's Meow

All cats are evil. So true. Cats give this air as if they own that's in their sight. Where dogs would jump and dribble saliva all over you in his joy of seeing you, a cat won't even acknowledge your presence. "So what? You're there, I'm here." I remember trying to coax this group of kittens from outside somebody's gate, you know, just to see if they'd let me scratch the underside of their heads, because they were really cute! But then all four (or was it five or six), they would all wander away out of reach, randomly, like those tiny little balls inside that cheap flat plastic toy I used to play with when I was a kid where the objective of the game is to drop them all into the depressed parts (I don't know if they still sell those outside public elementary schools), yes they would all stroll, heads up away and about. One stayed long enough for me to reach out my finger, but it just stayed there and looked at my finger and back at me as if saying, "Who do you think you are?" Thus, the premise - All cats are evil.

Kiwi!

 Alright, enough of cats. Now this one, aaww, this one is both sad and inspiring. Not everybody has the guts of this brave little kiwi bird. Not everybody reaches out to realize their dreams no matter what. This short should teach us that sometimes, if that's what we really wanted, we just have to do whatever it takes. 

I think that's all for now. I'm sure I can still find some more shorts in the Internet, I still haven't finished watching all the ingenious Pixar shorts, and the creepy, scary, disturbing, but highly whimsical and often touching storybook videos of Katy Lowell also deserves to be remembered. I'll make sure to post them here, too. Ciao, for now!
