I re-stumbled across the video below last night as I was attempting to clean out the eleventy-billion-and-twelve bookmarks on my laptop. Titled “Symmetry. In Everything.”, I discovered it on the St. Louis Egotist back in April 2011 as I was searching for a new job shortly after I was unceremoniously let go from a company I bled for after 16 years.

While I may not be a master wordsmith or grammar savant, I can’t help but wonder if the title is less than accurate. Shouldn’t it be “Juxtapostition. In Everything.”? If the frames were truly symmetrical it would open – for example – with peanut butter next to peanut butter instead of peanut butter next to jelly, right? RIGHT?!?!?

Sidebar: I love peanut butter more than most people love Jesus and a peanut butter & peanut butter sandwich is nowhere near as tasty as a peanut butter & jelly sandwich.

Or it would show two dudes eating steaks side-by-side instead of one dude eating a steak next to a cow. Or two dudes taking care of business in the restroom instead of a lady drinking water and a dude taking care of business in a restroom. But how many people really want to watch one dude taking care of business in a restroom, much less TWO dudes taking care of business in restroom?

Zero. Zero people. That’s how many. Trust me on this.

Regardless of the inanity of this post (or this blog, for that matter), it’s a pretty cool and well done video so I hope you dig it. I’m certain the people at Everynone behind this amazing creation – if they’re even reading this post, which I’m 943.72% certain they’re not – would probably want to kick me in the bag for my overly critical analysis of their fine work, but hey…that’s how my most-of-the-time-super-fucking-awesome-but-other-times-not-so-excellent brain processes things. Apologies to them in advance…unless, that is, I totally and completely missed their sarcasm in the title. In which case, I’m the idiot.

Enjoy.
