That doesn't mean I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">not addicted</span> to making insane and often embarrassing home videos anymore, just to get a laugh and to promote my books, blogs and websites. All it means is that I'm too busy with other things (like writing fiction) to get a quick video fix, every now and then, just to keep from running naked through the back yard and screaming, "Why me? Why me?".<br /><br />And since there's never been any actual possibility of <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> ever occurring in my lifetime (I just like to joke about it), I figured I didn't need Windows Movie Maker as a crutch anymore. So, if I can give up sipping Scotch whisky and writing <a href="http://www.sciencefictionforthinkers.com/theplutoobserver.htm"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Pluto Observer</span></a> and putt-putting around town on my old Cosmopolitan moped, I should be able to stay away from Windows Movie Maker, as well. Only time will tell.<br /><br />Before I shelved Windows Movie Maker, I put up a new website at Webnode.com, as "a third shrine" to my former addiction. The first shrine to my Windows Movie Maker addiction was my <a href="http://www.junktv.webnode.com"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Junk TV</span></a> website and the second shrine was the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/SciFiForThinkers"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SciFiForThinkers Channel</span></a> at YouTube. And, above, is the website header for the third shrine to my "former" addiction to making my own professional and comedy videos. <a href="http://michaelcasher.webnode.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Michael Casher Tube</span></a>.<br /><br />They say the third time's the charm.<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">A Portrait of the Author as an Old Man Copyright ©2010-2011 by Michael Casher.
