I had a pretty amazing trip, actually. I have... a lot to tell you.
Do you remember the 90s? People were getting piercings... talking about saving the planet... and forming bands?
There's a place where that idea is still a reality... and I've been there. Where? Well...

(12,875 posts)I doubt this will get any replies.
It's a video post, and nobody commented on the video (especially the news footage)
so I assume they haven't seen it and clicked away as soon as they saw it was me.

(20,600 posts)Welcoming you back. Maybe if you want to draw more attention to the videos you can make a thread focused on them. Just a friendly suggestion.

(12,875 posts)It's hilarious and topical to what I've been up to (and no I didn't stay in that house though)

(12,875 posts)Of Occupy. But I don't know if anyone cares anymore.
I wasn't joking when I said I had a lot I could tell you... or wish I could tell you.

(51,666 posts)Or you've been making music videos??
Do tell.
Leopolds Ghost
(12,875 posts)You must ask the right questions.
I did say it was notes from the "underground". If I told you,
it wouldn't be underground anymore, would it?
Just kidding, I will try to tell what I can. I'm working on two or three separate projects
at the moment, including with someone else from DU. Some of which involve trying to
secure real estate for community projects.
But Occupy's winnowed out recently and I should try not to get too specific, lest I clearly identify myself to anyone who's familiar.
But if you watch the occulink above, well, let's just say you'll get a kick out of it. That guy will go down as a legend of sorts...

We've missed you over on DU2
I logged on there first a couple days ago.
Leopolds Ghost
(12,875 posts)That's no joke but it is hilarious. It's also very accurate to Portland though. (I used to live in Portland).
eZ, I thot you knew where I wuz
ellisonz
(27,711 posts)You used to live in Portland? I spent four years of higher education in Portland.
Leopolds Ghost
(12,875 posts)Two.
I only meant that I thought I had given you more info about what work I was doing once upon a time. But it was a while back.
The only reason I'm a trifle unspecific is because I've never given personal info about me on DU and I'm sufficiently involved in the projects I'm working on that it's difficult to discuss without simply giving my address and inviting DUers in the area to stop by. Which I may simply do one of these days.

(33,688 posts)The usual flame wars in Meta, a lot of humor at the expense of Willard, many concern trolls, even more actual trolls, and the usual Lounge antics.
Love, love, love the Soviet Ponies video. It is definitely 20% cooler than most of DU.

I'm not a leftist per se, BTW. I'm into the...
I've met people who are card-carrying members too. In fact I'm trying to find one housing. Be back later.

That's about it. Oh, and lots of newbies. The good ones seem to be outweighing the trolls, but I'm not on MIRT.

You don't have to worry about Intelligence. Not only isn't there any, but they're not the ones in charge of watching you foreverrrrr
