The Life List

In some outdoorsy magazine I was reading a few months ago, I saw a list of things that you were supposed to do to prove that you were living well. Among the numerous physical feats you were supposed to accomplish to prove your prowess, one of the items was to post a video on You Tube and get at least 50,000 views. It had suggestions of how to do that, mostly involving dangerous stunts and helmet cams (as far as I remember).

Well, I still haven't managed to get too many things accomplished on their life list, but I have met the You Tube challenge. The way I did it was unexpected--I certainly didn't think 50,000 people would watch this video, much less the over 100,000 that have so far. None of my other videos posted on You Tube have done well--most have about 30 views. And even though I have a link to my blog under the You Tube video, I haven't seen any change in blog visits. So having a successful You Tube video doesn't really mean much. At least not when it's the topic I have.

Which brings us to:

My You Tube video.

You may already have seen it; the reason it's on You Tube in the first place was a blog post I did in May 2009. And if you did see it, I'm sure you wouldn't have guessed that many other people would watch it.

Because it's about cows mooing.

Seriously.

The title is "Cows mooing."

And without further ado, here it is. Enjoy!
