Yes, boys and girls, it’s our old favorite Brian Atene back with another masterwork. This simple, thirty-second video, entitled “Do You Wish It?” may be, nay, IS, the most powerful motivational talk in all of recorded YouTube.
Pour yourself a tumbler of something bracing, keep the Kleenex handy, and set phasers to awesome!

Oh, thank goddess it’s only thirty seconds. Still trying to decide if the raccoon eyes are makeup, or somebody beat him silly.

Now, now, don’t you be harshing on my boy Bri. You remember what happened last time? I can arrange to post nothing but Brian Atene videos to Facebook and Twitter until you behave.

Hmmm – I wished – and yes, it did come to pass – - -
But enough about my bowel movements – Brian looks as though he needs one or two at the moment ;)
(Is the rest of his work back on line?)

Yes, it’s up but not enabled for embedding. I’m a HUGE fan of this one though, and bitched and he allowed it. You can see tons of great Atene stuff (Truman Capote, Shakespeare, Star Trek) on YouTube under Brian Atene 101. For how long, no-one knows. Get it while you can.

? What was this?

It was your introduction to the awesomenosity that is Brian Atene.

Very strange, never heard of Brian before, but he definitely has something unique going on.
Jan 27, 2009 @ 22:11:18
He does. And none of us quite knows what it is, including him.

Please be sure to repost this every week or so. Oh, and I still lol when I think of your “DO NOT USE ALL CAPS” response from a couple of days ago.

As long as Brian Atene keeps posting videos and enabling embedding, you may be sure to find them here at raincoaster.com.
The DO NOT USE ALL CAPS…was that the suicide one? I use it so often!

You got me hooked on this freak some time ago. He looks particularly freaky, here, but is as compelling as ever. I shall now change the way I live my life, thanks to him! Hurrah!

Drop a comment on his YouTube stream. I think he doesn’t look at my blog, except to watch for trolls.

baaaad makeup.
And what is up with his hair?
It looks like it’s about ready to fall out.
Is he sick?
maybe I should re-phrase that . . .

Yes, you definitely should. No harshing on my boy Brian!

DAMN YOU ATENE! “Embedding disabled by request” Again? Why do I bother posting these, someone remind me?

Aaaaand it’s back. She’s up, she’s down, she’s up, she’s down. I’m getting seasick!

Dramamine, Rain.
And lots of it.
