Welcome, one and all. We hope everyone had a fun, safe, relaxing, exciting, rejuvenating, sexy, delicious, productive, mind-expanding holiday weekend. As you may or may not know, Citizen Wausau’s many dedicated bloggers neither vacation nor take a day or even an hour off, so singular is their focus on providing the best possible blogs for you, the internet citizen and CW reader. The following links are a mere sampling of the wonders contained herein:
• Cheryl links to a truly delightful video that will restore your faith in humanity, as it does hers and her husband’s. In the most far-flung international settings imaginable, a guy does a funny dance for the camera, and he invites others who gather to do a funny dance for the camera, too. It is a beautiful thing.
• Erik is ramblin’ on:
I’m leaving you Wausau, it’s not you, it’s me.
In all seriousness it’s a bit of both. I want something Wausau can’t give me: a career in narrative film. While I had a lot of great support from the community to make Microcosm, my landlord just doesn’t take great support to pay the bills. Sadly, I have to go to where the jobs are, where the connections can be made and where I can get paid to get creative rather than spray video. That’s not to say that I haven’t had plenty of opportunities to be creative as a photojournalist. But the jump from photojournalist to filmmaker is nigh impossible, especially in an area in which there are no commercial film or television productions.
• I believe country bridges are a metaphor in this post by christopher.
• Billie of “A Stable Personality” writes about learning to ride a motorcycle on a purple crotch-rocket.
• Something about some former quarterback whose name I can’t remember is occupying the discussion over at the “Green Bay Packers News” blog.
