Are You Good at Being You?

I stole this from a good friend's FB page. I think it's great! ...
"I may not be the most beautiful or the sexiest man/woman, nor do I have the perfect body. I might not be everyone's first choice, but I'm a great choice!!! I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, because I'm good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things in my past... but...... I'm proud of who I am today! Take me as I am or watch me as I walk away!!!"

Human Billboards in Italy

"These human billboards, created for ING Direct by the ad agency Leo Burnett in Milan [Italy], prove that it’s actually possibly to make advertising that doesn’t suck. As you’ll see in the video, the agency decided to hire some actual humans and attach them to billboards on moving buses which had the effect of quite literally bringing their advertisements to life."

Michigan Stadium by Parachute

"Sgt. Adam Sniffen from the 101st Airborne Division parachuted into the Michigan Wolverines football stadium to deliver the game ball before the start of their game against Michigan State and he was nice enough to attach a video camera to his helmet before jumping out of the plane. The result is this amazing video that shows you exactly what it’s like to parachute into a college football stadium filled with 100,000+ crazy fans. What’s especially cool is how you notice the crowd noise as he gets close to the stadium."

Nora the Cat Plays Piano


YouTube page :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ860P4iTaM

"Nora was a shelter cat who was adopted by a couple who taught piano lessons. She was always interested in the piano, but one day her owners came in the room, shocked to see the cat hitting the keys one at a time. When the cat started playing in front of students, the kids started photographing her and when someone took a YouTube video and posted it online, Nora became a star overnight. She now has a series of YouTube videos and her own website."
