My Magic Has Been Violated!

This is quite amazing. According to YouTube, I have violated their guidelines with two of my clips that were uploaded on my channel. It's an exciting and scary time for me to experience this.

Two of my clips were uploaded on Thursday morning. Within hours, I received a SMS from my friend saying - "you should have shown more!!" (I played dumb...) And asked, what?? And apparently a large part of the Deaf community found out about these clips and everyone knew about it right away. It brought a smile on my face...thinking, it works. I have created a 3 series link of 'bath-episodes', a meaningful link to Eckhart Tolle's book 'A New Earth'. On Saturday, I received an email from YouTube, (see below) and they have removed my clips. I was told that these clips were reported and considered inappropriate. It was not sexual nor provocative. How was it being violated?? What did it violate?? It is very interesting to see how people have responded to these clips and BAM - I'm removed. My work of 'art' is being removed.

At today's BBQ, it sure did stir up some interesting conversation and is a current hot topic in the Deaf community. Did it work? Sure it did. Although I must admit, I wish it was on my channel much longer than that.

Depression (not the emotion)...

Made you look, didn't I? The news was on last night on the Stock Exchange crisis and how this can lead us, the World, into another depression or recession. But are we already in the "depression" - is the media covering it up? A financial correspondent for one of the news channel said the World is at more risk than during the Depression in 1930's because of how well connected the World is via the internet and monies across the exchange. It is a scary thought. All I have to do is to remind myself that we are lucky we live in Australia and to appreciate what we have. You get what you get. Money is not everything. It seems that there is a long challenging road ahead of us and we need to stick together and be strong!!
