  • There are a thousand videos of the total Solar eclipse from April 8 2024. This one is different. This one is about a failure that day. Nobody posts their failures, right?
    It’s also about community, of joining as a tribe(if only for a couple hours).

      It was great meeting you too. You certainly seem to make an impression everywhere you go. I hope you're enjoying Georgia.

    I enjoyed this video Don. I always try to enjoy the moments I'm having with my family. Funny that nobody noticed your edit. I've been so busy I wasn't able to go out and capture the eclipse. Thanks for sharing.

    • @MudballDon

      Thanks Paul. I’m sorry you missed the eclipse. And yeah, when I’m with my family, I find it hard to document any type of story. I think that’s true of most people. We tend to reflect on the experience and build a story around the things we remember. You never know what the important part of the story is going to be until later.

    Your story was 🅶🆁🅴🅰︎🆃 Don!!! My pics didn’t turn out but I sure did experience the eerie feeling that unfolded around me for the few minutes it lasted. It was amazing 😮

      Thanks Sylvia. I’m sorry you missed your shots, but your superpower should start manifesting any day now.

    Sounds like you did get the story ✌️

    • @MudballDon
      @MudballDon  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks. I wrote the bones of the video on the way home. Of course I got a story. Even a failure is a story. Sometimes they are the best stories.

    All about the experience. Great story telling! My new Moto is alive til 2045...that's when..god-willing... I will have the opportunity to experience totality here in CA. Thanks for the share.

    • @MudballDon
      @MudballDon  Před 4 měsíci

      If you're willing to travel, there are others before then. I wouldn't plan a trip JUST for the eclipse, but it would make a great addition to a trip.

    thank you for this... I needed it to help me get over my own personal feelings of failure for not taking my mom quite south enough to see the 'diamond' .... but she didnt even care and aside from that we did have the time of our lives on our mother/daughter journey to be at 99.9 totality. Like my mom says 'we were part of history now!'

    • @MudballDon
      @MudballDon  Před 4 měsíci

      That’s awesome to hear. I hope you both had a great adventure.

    Wow,
    That was great Don.
    I'm glad you got to experience it first hand and meet some new people.
    We did not make it this time. There were several accidents ahead of us, so we couldn't make it in time.
    There's alway 2044, here's to hoping we all make it.
    See you at Art's stream...

    • @MudballDon
      @MudballDon  Před 4 měsíci +1

      oh no. That sucks. I aimed for a sparsely populated area just to avoid the crowds. Even then, we had to hit some back roads to dodge congestion. If you're willing to travel, there will be another in 2026 in Greenland/Iceland/Madrid/Spain.

    Great Story! Don, your story is better than the many other thousand stories on CZcams

    • @MudballDon
      @MudballDon  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks. I’m not sure if it’s better, but it’s mine and it’s unique.

    Don, well done. That was one of the best eclipse videos I've seen.

      Thanks Jeff. Not a lot of eclipse in it.

  • @grumpyvlogger
    @grumpyvlogger Před 4 měsíci

    That was without a doubt the best eclipse story/video I’ve seen online. Just an amazing story, and yes you really did get the story. You just told it.

      There's always a story, even when you miss the one you were aiming at. Thanks Chris.

    The only place to capture the story, that really matters, is in your memory. When we're all gone from this plane of existence, we will be quickly forgotten. None of the stories we had, or told to a select few, will exist. What matters is what you remember. All the videos and social media posts we make will eventually be lost. Hold on to what is in your head and cherish the sweet moments. Life is too short to worry on the small stuff. Peace out! Viva la socks!

  • @riggermortisfpv526

    A lot of us are missing the story right now. Life is to be experienced, not recorded necessarily. But that's just, like my opinion, man.

      I went into the woods alone
      and brought along a microphone
      two cameras, tripods, and a drone.
      What good's solitude, unless it's shown?
