Final Determination of Christmas Carol Lyrics/Make Your Videos

RE: Final Determination of Christmas Carol Lyrics/Make Your Videos
@emjay, you're not really advised to use your lungs for the start of the balloon,build up pressure using the cheek muscles without involving the lung until the balloon hss reached a certain size!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

Thanks... I'll bear that in mind for next time Smile But why is that the case... what's the danger of doing it the other way?

We may be able to work with what you've got. Perhaps we can amplify the sound? However, it would be cool if maybe you could record an alternative, like you banging a pot or jingling some bells or even clapping (we could always put a clip of you clapping at the end of the video). Thank you for your effort. I hope everyone is having fun with this.

On another note, and I know it's none of my fucking business, so tell me to fuck off, if you like.

I smoked for all of my adult life and the better part of my teens. I believe the total was 15 years. I smoked Marlboros and really didn't give a fuck if they killed me. Later, I was feeling like I had a cold all the time. Tibby couldn't even bear to talk to me over Skype if I was smoking a cigarette. He would cringe and hang up. I've never seen someone so worried about something I was doing. This was before we even met in person! Fucking crybaby.  Big Grin Anyway, I had tried giving it up before to no avail, so I came up with a system. I went on the patch, which really fucking helped, but gives you crazy dreams. Then, I rewarded myself with a gift every day until the first week without a cigarette. Next, I gave myself a present every week. Then, it was a month. When I reached the first year, I started doing it every year. This year, I think I bought a book and a video game. Give yourself a reason to quit. Mine was Tibby and all the cool shit I got to buy myself without guilt.

Oh, and my mom quit with me, so I had a quitting buddy. My aunt sent me packages with healthy snacks in them all the time. If you quit, reach out for support, man.

You may not even want to quit and I'm totally butting in. I just love being a non-smoker. I sometimes worry I'll pick it up again, but honestly hope I never do. My throat feels tight even thinking it about it right now. The point is, I only butt in because I think it's great and hope you get a chance to do it too.

I think that's the best quitting plan I've heard, ever! Buy yourself something? Hell yeah!

I quit smoking when I met Esquilax! Usually its the other way around, but, these men saved us years of suffering! My mom
 has COPD. It's.. Not fun :Tongue


hey what kind of sound file do you want?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

We need a video uploaded to YouTube, per Tibby's request. It'll make it easier for him. Grats on quitting!

I may have some software (somewhere) that might possibly be capable of cleaning up the sound, so I'll try and dig that out and see what I can do... if not, I'll think about your other options... I guess I could even do a Baldrick and bang a triangle at the end Wink

As to the smoking though I'm always happy to see a success story, and I'm very happy for you and hope you indeed never go back, I have my own reasons for continuing to smoke and doubt I will ever quit. It's certainly not something I'm interested in doing at the moment, so yeah, fuck off Wink Tongue

I dont understand Tongue
How is a youtube video going to made into a song collaboration? And what about those folks that don't want to do video but wouldn't mind audio? It's my experience you get more participation when it's sound only, for many reasons..

Sorry to burst yall's bubble but this is complete BS. The Twelve Days of Christmas? Um, really? 

Mary did you Know should be the song. 



"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Now wait a minute, what would an avowed Christian know about the proper tune to sing at Christmas?
