I was online recently…

Pin It Unfortunately this owed the fact that I couldn’t sleep last night; and this, regrettably, was due to a migraine. Yes, the dreaded nemesis had returned to deprive me of yet another night of blissful slumber. But I recede myself.

A few hours after my headache was gone, I found myself still awake, staring up at the ceiling fan. Amazing how many times that thing can turn in the space of about a second, isn’t it?

I finally reached for my laptop and decided to write a blog. As I began to write, I felt myself not wishing to share the story of a migraine, and yet another night of sleeplessness at an undisclosed southern address. I closed down Word, and instead found myself at YouTube.

Ah…YouTube.

Hours of pointless, wanton, worthless video files. To an insomniac; a veritable treasure trove of entertainment.

Okay, I lied…after all, I didn’t find anything worth watching…for the most part it was a marathon in stupidity which left me feeling a bit more unintelligent than when I’d first logged on. That is, with everything I watched, save this…

Now, before you click the ‘play’ button and anxiously watch the video I discovered, just know this…this is cool.

However, watch at your own risk.

P.S. The very beginning and ending of this video are not my favorites…however, the middle, is ‘awesome’ to coin a phrase from the 80’s generation…a real ‘thriller.’

Now that you’ve watched it, this is what is going on…from what I understand this is a group of somewhere between 1,500 – 2,000 inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, in Cebu, The Philippines. This rehab center is trying to make the inmates better through rehab with physical exercise, uplifting music, and something nonviolent: dance. There are several videos of these men performing on YouTube, this was the first one I watched. The person who posted the video said that this was not actually the inmates’ final routine, but merely a practice so it still contains a few flaws.

Of course, seeing this video clip took me back to a movie I’d watched at the theatre a few years ago, moreover, a particular scene which made the audience break out into cheers…without further ado, I share that with you as well:

Goodnight.
