The long awaited ....
My MTV Music Video is now out
# I Have Just Produced My MTV Video I have just produced my MTV video. It required my entire life savings so I hope this works. After working as an accountant for fifteen years, I finally snapped during a particularly tedious tax season. I liquidated my 401(k), sold my sensible sedan, and even parted with my prized collection of vintage calculators to fund what my therapist calls "a concerning midlife renaissance." The concept came to me in a dream: me, a 43-year-old balding man with questionable cardio endurance, recreating iconic MTV videos from the '80s and '90s. I hired local college students as my film crew with the promise of course credit and all the pizza they could eat. My neighbor's teenager handled special effects using an app on his phone that I'm still not entirely sure how to download. We shot most scenes in my cul-de-sac, transforming it into everything from a post-apocalyptic wasteland (my attempt at Thriller) to a windswept mountaintop (for my homage to Wrecking Ball). The neighborhood association has formally requested I never do this again. The centerpiece is my interpretation of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity," filmed in my garage with furniture on skateboard wheels. Three sprained ankles and one minor concussion later, we had the footage. My sliding across the floor in wool socks simply didn't have the same smooth quality as Jay Kay's original performance. The local news caught wind of my project when Mrs. Dellman called the police about "a middle-aged man writhing on his front lawn covered in glitter." That interview alone got 50,000 views online. Now I'm sitting here, savings depleted, waiting for MTV to call. I've practiced my acceptance speech for the VMAs in the mirror every night. If this doesn't work out, I'm not sure what's next. Perhaps TikTok needs a middle-aged sensation who can explain tax deductions while attempting to moonwalk?
