Ah, Hell With It

This won’t be the first time I’ve humiliated myself on this blog, and it certainly won’t be the last.

So let’s get to it!

Remember back in the summer when I was off the wall enthused by all those home movies that we finally got converted to digital form?

And remember how I posted like three of them and then you never heard about them again?

Yyyyyeahhhhhhhhhh, that’s ‘cause I got busy.

But I’m still working through them! So in the spirit of “better late than never,” here’s the next installment.

Back in the summer between fifth grade and sixth grade (I think?) I took my mom’s camcorder, a brand new blank tape, and filled said tape with a whole bunch of nonsense that I dubbed “The Fifth Grade Movie.”

It’s basically me being super hyperactive in my room and filming a bunch of shorts, improvised songs, commercials, and interviews.

A few notes:

  • I am an only child. This whole video is proof of why I’m an only child.
  • This is how an only child entertains themselves. A least in my case.
  • I call everything “Tony” because this was during the time that I was obsessed with the “Hey Tony!” Frosted Flakes commercials. Don’t ask questions.
  • This is not me acting for the camera. I was just like this. Ask my classmates.
  • Yes, my room is very, very messy.
  • I sure screeched a hell of a lot, didn’t I?
  • My FREAKING HAIR
  • I have no idea how my mom put up with me.

You are under no obligation to watch this. In fact, just skip it for sanity’s sake.
