This video was posted in 2010 but it’s the first I’ve seen of it, and it’s beyond amazing. This is what you get when you put ‘We Are The World’, the Beatles, a green screen, and stars from the 80’s and 90’s in a blender and pour it out. It’s the greatest music video ever made in the history of ever.
The Peter Faulk wave out of nowhere is one of my highlights.
I was looking at the website of my hometown newspaper and this picture and caption caught my eye. Originally I thought it was a picture from a practice because of the same color uniforms, but the caption states it’s a picture taken from a game. If that’s true, those jerseys looked pretty similar, but I think I can tell a bit of color difference in helmet color and I can’t see the front of the quarterback’s jersey to see a true difference, but I’m surprised one team isn’t wearing a light color.
Davion always longed for a family. His caseworker took him to picnics, put his portrait in the Heart Gallery, an organization devoted to helping foster kids find permanent homes. But he had thrown chairs, blown his grades, pushed people away.
When he learned his birth mother was dead, everything changed. He had to let go of the hope that she would come get him. Abandon his anger. Now he didn’t have anyone else to blame.
”He decided he wanted to control his behavior and show everyone who he could be,” Going said.
So someone would want him.
”I’ll take anyone,” Davion said. “Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don’t care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.”
All summer, he worked on swallowing his rage, dropping his defenses. He lost 40 pounds. So far in 10th grade, he has earned A’s — except in geometry.
”He’s come a long way,” said Floyd Watkins, program manager at Davion’s group home. “He’s starting to put himself out there, which is hard when you’ve been rejected so many times.”
Davion decided he couldn’t wait for someone to find him. In three years, he’ll be on his own.
