I'm not 100% sure exactly how to explain what was going through my mind when I decided to do this. I filmed the "Tyrone" scenes at work last weekend, thinking I would use them as part of some off-beat segment, and later decided that it would be a good idea to do a variety show slash late night spoof thing for this week of videos.
Though I like how it came out (aside from the atrocious white balance issues during the monologue and messed up title during "Meta Man" — I'm not uploading this again), I'm not sure it was the right decision. It was a ton of work. We'll see how the rest of the week goes, and whether or not I'll actually end up doing five whole days worth of videos, comprising an entire episode of "The Feckless Hour."

![To: Christin Joy Newman [MV]
A Valentines Day gift for my loving wife.
Some of the notes are off, the guitar playing isnt the best, but the words and feeling are 100% authentic and heartfelt. This is a song for my wife and my Jesus. The video is random footage of our family and some friends as well.
I miss you, Christin. Ill see you very soon.
P.S. Sorry about the first shot, it didnt come out quite how I wanted it to and it kind of makes me dizzy... but I didnt really want to spend another couple hours re-rendering, so it is what it is. ;-D
And for those who may be wondering, Christin is not endorsing marijuana in the second shot! Go me for picking a video clip that requires audio to understand, but thats what happens when you cut a video together in 10 minutes without previewing it!

Sorry for the caps and multiple pastes, but a lot of people dont read the doobly-doo, and Im really proud of the full version of this song. I want everyone to get a chance to hear it!
Edit: Both full-band and acoustic versions are now available for purchase. You can get them both for $1 (or more, if youre feeling generous) by purchasing the album.
I came up with this song concept when I was thinking about how few of the characters in Harry Potter were overweight. Im a very lazy person, so Id imagine that being a wizard would make me unbelievably fat (well, fatter than I already am). As a note of clarification, there was a bit of lexical ambiguity in one of the lines of the song. When I say house-elf-pies, I am referring to pies that are baked by house elves, not pies that are made of house elves. Thats just gross.

Song Lyrics:
Perhaps you could call me lazy
Or just a tad naive
But you wouldnt see me walkin around
If I could drift along inside a pensieve
I cant be the only one out there
And I dont mean to assume
But I wouldnt be hittin the elliptical
If I could fly around on a broom
Cause if I were a wizard, Id be fat as hell
You dont need muscle when youre casting a spell
And if I were a wizard, id be overweight
Cause who needs to walk around when you can apparate?
You might say playin Quidditch
Is physical, thats true
But thats like one percent of all wizardkind
That argument just wont do
I think that im convinced now
Of a vast conspiracy
Theyre hiding witch and wizard fatties in Azkaban
And that dont sit well with me
[Chorus]
How are all these kids so fit?
Stuffing faces with House-Elf-pies?
Flying high on a hippogryph
Is not exactly exercise
You may think that physical discipline
Is part of magic folks m.o.
But honestly, I wouldnt lift a finger
Id just yell, Accio!
Cause if i were a wizard, Id be fat as hell
You dont need muscle when youre casting a spell
And if I were a wizard Id be quite obese
Crabbe and Goyle aint got nothin on me!
Yeah, if i were a wizard, Id be fat as hell
You dont need muscle when youre casting a spell
And if I were a wizard, Id be overweight
Cause who needs to walk around when you can apparate?
