ULOG # 034: My Ulogacy Video
Dear Uloggers and Steemians,
This is my video for @surpassinggoogle ulogacy project as certified ulogger.
My wife, Manuela and I. She helped me record the video.
We had a hard time working on this because technology is not our forte. The phone cut the video half way. So we had to record all we needed in two videos. I wanted to upload it on Dtube. After hours waiting for upload , trying to get the right snap and tags, the video was never uploaded. So, I did it via Youtube.
Hope you like it.
Part 1
Part 2
Edit: There was one question that was not read fully in the video (there were some questions withing the same question). Following up on "How do you feel about yourself", the remaining questions were:
Is there an old self you'd like to regain, a new self you'd like to attain?
Yes, there is an old me that got lost in the middle of the crisis we've been going through the last years. My old self was more independent, proactive and optimistic about the future. I'd like to regain that and attain a new self that can combine the experience of these hard times with the vision of the young me who thought anything could be possible. I need to regain the optimism that will allow me to attain success in this new phase of my life.
Thanks for your visit.
I'll see you all around at Ulogs.org

Hello
I am happy to have been able to view your ulog and learn a little about who you are and your life.
Irronically it is a poem reading contest about farting that I impulsively donated 10sbd to by @quilllfire that has enabled this encounter.
I had not imagined someone reading it in such a scholarly dignified manner. Watching your video and learning that you are indeed a college professor, the delivery was perfect, sitting at your desk no less.
To hear that you are at least for now no longer sitting in the scholars chair and learning a little about your circumstance, that great big stinking recitation takes on a whole new level. I am making assumptions and projections here, but the weight of those words you wrote about affording glasses for your kids thanks to a silly prank game, that is not lost on me.
I have been living in a self established bubble. A few years back I flooded myself with impossible world sadness that proved to big for me to change, and I retreated, choosing not to look at the news and not to believe that I can do much beyond my own door, or if I am going to be ulog honest, within my own walls too I am redundant. Today I have made a concerted effort to learn more about the situation in Venezuela.
A kick in the arse and a degree of shame for my insular existence is exactly what I needed.
Some time ago @quillfire told me shithappens quit with the pity party, when I wrote a bit of a pity post, I snapped back at him with a gracious eff you man, and a friendship was born. Only today do I really understand what he meant.
He was telling me to realise how lucky and privileged I am. I humbly receive the lesson many months later, it took two scholars to deliver it in the form of a big stinking rhyming analogy.
Thank you.
Big virtual affectionate hug first.
I think Quill tends to do that to people. :)
Fue divertido escucharte y verte, tu dicción en inglés es muy buena, te pude comprender bastante a pesar de que en inglés me cuesta un poco seguir la conversación de algunas personas, contigo fue sencillo.
Las preguntas, algunas fueron muy profundas, es un ejercicio muy interesante.
Me gusta tu aclaratoria al final, y no sé si es cuando ya uno pisa los cuarenta que va perdiendo algunos impetus jajaja, pero a mi también me gustaria tener la fuerza que tenía a los veinte, como tu dices, influye mucho el optimismo. Tal vez sea importante trabajar en eso, en las metas a mediano y largo plazo, también recobrar las fuerzas nutriendo nuestro interior de alguna manera, sentirnos apreciados, amados, especiales, a pesar de que el entorno se empeñe en decir lo contrario, estamos aquí, por y para algo. Espero que se cumplan tus sueños, y que Dios, aun cuando creas o no en él, te de esas fuerzas que solo él puede dar...
Un abrazo ;-)
Que lindo! Muchas gracias, @inspiración. Me alegra que hayas podido entender el video.
Creo que en condiciones normales es fácil mantenerse joven de corazón. Una de las cosas que admiro de la cultura americana, y lo experimenté cuando viví allá, es que la gente a los 50 o 60 puede aún plantearse metas y reinventarse. En una sociedad donde el dinero rinde y hay opciones de empleo es relativamente fácil mantenerse activ fisica e intelectualmente.
A nosotros esta crisis nos ha hecho envejecer prematuramente unos 10 años, al menos; el que tiene problemas de salud, quizas 20.
Pero, seguimos resistiendo, cada uno a su manera, y con la clara visión en el desarrollo de nuestros talentos. En algún momento este país o algún otro nos permitirán realizarnos.
