Cheese Bombs in Wisconsin, Chinese Flags and Gay Eskimoes.

Could we get three any more different nouns in a blog title?

This is just another of my “this day in Joko History” blogs, where I run some re-runs.  This one happens to be remarkable because it starts with “What You Don’t Want To See at Airport Security”, my single most viewed video on YouTube.  This short video has gotten over 40,000 views, stil gets thousands of views every month on YouTube and was posted four years ago today.

Featuring: my mom’s arm and a CNN reporter!

This next video similarly went viral at the time.  With over 5000 views, it was me noticing something that was important, but not noted on at the time.  Yin Hao, the little kid hero of the Beijing 2008 Olympics, walked through the opening ceremonies of that Olympics with an UPSIDE DOWN Chinese flag!  I thought this was a big political statement that very few noticed.



Lastly, from last Summer, my favorite season of my video making history (this summer isn’t even coming close), me telling you that I’m the only gay Eskimo in my tribe…

    When you was looking at the camera(not over your glasses)you looked more like a Chinese Eskimo. lol Who was singing with you in that song?? Oh and nice accent btw I’ve never heard a real Eskimo talk so I have nothing to compare it to.

    but first, love the look of the vids. . got to get on the other comp to hear later. . any ways, tops my day so far. . .

    another simple thought, what is peace ? (some body had asked, what is gravity, in the previous post, this came to mind)
    wonder if there is a ever a schooled text version, one which takes us to the point beyond where the usual leaves of. Pat answers we have been passed on for generations and realizing we have no personal memory of what happen on earth, from the moment o conception

    from the moment of of conception, and for ever so long kind of holding myself back from spelling moment :MOMend, ya know, with a hug and kiss, all is forletting the past melt into a present we wouldn’t dare upset, . . .ah, by the very mention of, know, we’s off on a fast track to trouble

    trouble as in the shadow of the wake of our getting ahead of oursElf. The Elf in Self, the spritely Spirit known a Twinkle Toes who like Rudolph’s red nose . . that ‘dbe REaD kNOwSE . . . like ya allWays catCh the sound effects of the tone in the timber as rose from the earth some to wear a crown of thorn, some whose stem was froze

    any of you catch the truth of that last line?
    for me? some whose stem was froze,
    some whose voice was caught in their throat
    some that kept them from speaking . . learning read
    where the other is a coming from . . tune in and deal with them from their is this not how a mother MOTHer learn read her baby, or can we say, the spirit of the mind which from the MOMend of conception, is dress with the baggage the earth has journeyed through to the present, from when life first dawned on and about the face of earth.
    To sum up creation, in any one of us, with each being journeyed through the co-tow of the day. be march off to school, ah, nurseries as once we did kindergarten on trading childlabour laws for educational once . . and honest, I think. . ah, guess we’s got a ways from Peace just here, then again, maybe not. . was just thinking of the sluggishness of mind and body which usually accompanies . . then again, there is no yardstick to the measure of any give in its over all capacity to bounce back

    its to the blind spot within us . . . .

    peace is the water
    that ever give way
    to the beauty of nature
    dressing our world

    nah, this top that . . . or rather topped the above
    with the following

    when I don’t hear from you this long. .sending your crystal focused in abed of big sur pebbles blessings on angel wings
    been a looking through your pics they’s just awesome

    had been thinking of sending a letter to the Pique in Whistler, about the house as in the SKIdTzenFrolic Funkle Fest HEadQuarters ah, maybe HeadWaters of the Rivers of BabbleOn on the mountain’s stream running for the easy out
    as life has in store for each and every one of us . .soon as we give up. . remember once fighting in my dreams. . or I saw this chap a coming to do me under. . and unlike the last one who soon changed his mind cause I saw him coming with intend, and slug him a good nuff one that stop him in his tracks.
    This time in my dream I decided to let go, let life, let happen what will
    just endure
    found myself watching the last bubbles of life escape from my being
    the shimmering slivers of the slivery blue lights
    dancing to the surface
    am only the memory
    left in our wake

    through the values and views
    instilled in our youth
    by the people we looked up to
    now shrink in old age
    the wisdom wonder and wit
    of hey, why take any gent serious
    lest. . and aint that where the trouble starts in this world
    getting ahead of ourselves

    at Whistler’s SKIdTzenFrolic Funkle Fest IMProv CompLEX on the foot of Rainbow Mountain with the River Golden Dreams running off Blue Berry Hill where once we found our thrill
    early
    one morning
    climb to its top and found this bed of moss cross the whole of it and with a log, plus this that and two wee saplings sprouting up,
    a sacredness hang in the air . . .

    ah, ought share what we just did. . this on picking up what is gravity . . . long 100 comment thread on face book . . . doubt this will be a long one. . ah back to bed.

    China has been under Martial Law for decades. What that means, is that the country is a Military Dictatorship. Ever notice how totally in bed with the Major Corporations China is these days? Obviously they are not Communists anymore.

    It’s a good thing the TSA didn’t spot that kid. They would have water boarded him

    So you get excited when you see the North Pole, huh? Is that Santa I hear running for cover right now? 😯 😆

    You poor sole, lonely gay eskimo you. Don’t you know you have to go online to find another fellow gay eskimo somewhere who would be willing to wax your spear for ya as both go poking for some warm blubber love together (and the blubber reference is in no way commentary regarding your appearance AT ALL). You are the hottest (or should I say the coolest) gay eskimo that I can HONESTLY say that I have ever seen! 8)

    Not many inuit with beards, but the Canadian accent (New Foundland?) is a reasonable facsimile. :mrgreen: I instantly thought that you were making a sophisticated and nuanced commentary on the use of pejoratives to describe a group of people by using the word Eskimo to describe Inuit instead of a pejorative for gays…then I realized that you must have been bored and just made a funny video :mrgreen:

  • Chelo16B says:
