Just for Fun

Isn’t it great when others express your own secret struggles? Especially when they do it in a clever, entertaining way?  Isn’t it liberating? Even amusing?

If you wrestle with procrastination and/or all the myriad issues involved in “getting ready,” you will no doubt enjoy these two short animations (below) by Levni Yilmaz.

Lev has also created a book of drawings on similar themes, Tales of Mere Existence, and the book comes with the DVD collection of his films — what  a a deal. Learn more about Lev and his work at his website.

Thanks to my friend Sara for bringing Lev’s work to my attention!

Compared to a new ride called the Life Force Crusher, the ADHD Roller Coaster pales in comparison.  Consider the Crusher’s features:

• Six disorienting vertical loops,
• 150-feet of highly unstable barrel rolls,
• a portion in the middle where the ride just suddenly stops for no reason and refuses to start again until riders apologize,
• an unexpected 310-foot drop at the very end.

And that’s not all!

“This heart-racing, gut-wrenching 90 mph free fall into unhealthy codependence and trust issues will have even the most extreme thrill-seekers begging for it to be over,” reads a Six Flags press release announcing the new coaster, which promises to require more attention and patience than any one man should reasonably be expected to have. “Can you survive the Agonizing Vortex of Unflagging Acrimony?”

If living with ADHD—your own or your partner’s—has grown exceedingly dull, this could be the ride for you! Click here to read more.
