...so let's see how long it takes to get kicked off Vimeo. Really, though. Instead of filling claim against it, Peter Cetera should thank me for this. Sure, he's not getting any money for the song, but hey, it's not like I am getting paid for this, either. The glories of the Internet.
The First Day of Preschool from Brian Sargent on Vimeo.
And speaking of not getting paid, today and tomorrow are the last days to vote in the Weblog Awards. This little blog has made an incredibly strong showing, and while that's not exactly getting paid, it's pretty close in my book. Thanks. If you can spare the time to vote both today and Tuesday, that would be very gratifying.
Plus, if I win, it will give me a little something to respond to the question, "And what did you do all day?" I'll be able to look up over the piles of dirty laundry, across the unswept floors, and say, "I wrote a post for my Award Winning blog, thank you." I am sure that will make all the difference in the world. Aren't you?
UPDATED: Always a bridesmaid...
OH! How sweet your girls are. (:

Just wanted you to know I sent out a bunch of emails to my friends and family asking them to vote for you. Told them they didn't have to actually read it (some of them probably shouldn't) but just vote, cause you are really the best.

Oh man, I had forgotten how funny that is! Thanks for the laughs.

Ahahahaha!!! That, sir, was an impressive amount of carousing you managed to fit in before 11:30am.

I know that feeling! I had that feeling when my oldest started kindergarten. It didn't matter that I had 2 toddlers still at home. I still celebrated! lol

Oh yes, I'm sure winning the award will make all the difference with The Mom. She seems the type to be easily swayed, you know.
Also, the polls seem to be taking a long time to load, but they do load. Be patient, everyone.

Hysterical. I posted the link to your blog on my Facebook account. Hopefully, you'll get a whole lot of votes.

anybody taking any action to have that video removed from any site is just not a fan of good stuff.
Posted by: PG | January 12, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Offer Cetera 10% of proceeds you make off the video...
Posted by: Phaidra | January 12, 2009 at 12:27 PM

Screw the 'Tube! Glad you found a workaround, and good luck in the awards polling. I've tossed a few your way from the great state of Georgia.

That was damn funny! You're a fast worker too!

This song makes me cry on a good day. This is just heartbreaking.
I made a video to Nelly Furtado's Maneater that got booted off YouTube, too. It had something like 40 hits. I was like, really? This is who you're going after?

And you got it in under the gun for the Oscar nods. I'm thinking short-subject documentary.
Only another 20 months until it's my turn. :-)

Proud to vote for you, again and again.
Posted by: Petunia | January 12, 2009 at 01:26 PM
I have felt the same way, but I never gave the frog a beer.
Yet.

Peter Cetera is obviously a tool!!! That video was pure genius!!!
I've been voting over and over again TWICE every day - one from my work account and one from my home account. We sure do love us some Looky Daddy!
Posted by: Anne Prince | January 12, 2009 at 01:46 PM
I can't stop laughing every time I watch that video! I've been voting for you every day for a week or so! Only two more days left to remember!!@@!
P.S. Sarah gives the frog hard liquor.

Good stuff.... I feel like skipping some days too, but my younger daughter is still at home with me all of the time. Next year when she goes to pre-school for 6 glorious hours/week, i'll have to re-enact, complete with the bird fly to the car/mini-van.

my twins go to preschool in september. 3 days a week. 8 months to go!

Bet the pidgeon lady from the park the other day would just love to see this!
Posted by: ~annie | January 12, 2009 at 02:26 PM
Never heard of vimeo... have to check it out.
I can't wait for that feeling of release! But I'm a long way off... youngest child is 10 wks.
Good luck with the voting! I've appealed to my blog readers to vote again ;)

Laughing just as hard as the first time. Thanks, and good luck in the home stretch!
Posted by: The Uncle | January 12, 2009 at 03:15 PM
LD, you still makes me laugh! You should definitely win the blog awards based solely on the video! Is it strange that I feel like the video every schoolday especially on Mondays?
Posted by: Alexis | January 12, 2009 at 03:18 PM
Alexis, if feeling that way every school day is strange, welcome to the club!
