A MELANCHOLY CHRISTMAS (With Outdoor Christmas Lights)

First and foremost, that's a toy cap gun in the video, hence the orange tip. Anyway, this is something a lil different then what I'm normally used to doing. I was out filming Christmas lights, and sometime after I thought of the idea of this video in general. No, it's not a comedy. It's not meant to make you laugh. And I really hope that it DOESN'T make you laugh. It's essentially the story of a depressed dude on Christmas, watching Christmas lights displayed on his computer. Too many people are depressed in general -- both during and not during the holidays -- admittedly myself included. While I have not personally gotten this depressed to the point of suicide, I have battled depression in the past, and understand what it's like to feel alone and unloved. In my mind, this video symbolizes the pure unadulterated feeling when you are truly depressed. And frankly it needs to stop. This is just my own special way of trying to reach out to other people who also battle it. I wish people didn't get as depressed as this person in this video. but it happens. This is a message of hope to everyone out there who might feel alone and unloved. If you feel that way, please know, that there are people out there who love and care about you. And you're NOT alone. And you're awesome.

Thank YOU for this video :) I'm never depressed, but I do know people who ARE depressed during certain points of their lives and they exhibit the same things you illustrated in this video. I'm glad to know everyone in real life and on the internet. Jerrod, merry Christmas!
