This Year With the Vlog Brothers

A video I put together in honor of John and Hank Green of Brotherhood 2.0.

The music is The Mountain Goats - This Year (my fiance's idea). Andi rawks mai sawks. :]

I broke free on a Saturday morning
I put the pedal to the floor
headed north on mills avenue
and listened to the engine roar

my broken house behind me
and good things ahead
a girl named Cathy
wants a little of my time
six cylinders underneath the hood
crashing and kicking
aha!
listen to the engine whine

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

i played video games in a drunken haze
i was seventeen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue

and then Cathy showed up
and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle
all bitter and clean
locking eyes
holding hands
twin high maintenance machines

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

i drove home in the California dusk
i could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
pictured the look on my stepfather's face
ready for the bad things to come
i down shifted
as i pulled into the driveway
the motor screaming out
stuck in second gear
the scene ends badly
as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear

there will be feasting and dancing
in Jerusalem next year

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

We'll miss you Hank and John.

-EDIT-

This is such a good representation of the journey we took with them through 2007.

Excellent work...and, you know, I wouldn't mind if you did another one =)

You know...I may just do that. >D

When was the video when john was walking? And the one of hank biking?

[hikaricloud]

Don't remember the dates, but the one with John walking was his last day in New York before he moved.

That's The Mountain Goats, right?

[JHerrick79]

I just found this video. At the end when you said "We'll miss you guys" , it reminded me that at the end of 2007 we really didn't know whether they would continue at all. I'm SOOOO glad they did continue even though the format changed.

[Mariswimmer7]

Ooh...the one where he waxes his chin STILL gives me the willies!

[JRRT2007]
