9 APRIL 2004 - COMPLETE VIDEO EDITED BY MIDNIGHT. BOKE's "EXCEPTIONAL" AMERICAN CANDIDATE APPLICATION PACKAGE POSTMARKED 4:30 PM (30 MINUTES TO SPARE. {smile}) 6 APRIL 2004 - VIDEO PART A Taped and edited. NEW SLOGAN EMERGES. (TOP SECRET for now. {smile}) Abort indicators rising. Data indicates insufficient interaction to produce significance.... 5 APRIL 2004 tyler's calculations indicate the time has come to make that damn video... without a potato. NEW CHAOS-FACTOR DATA PROCESSED. TWO POSSIBLE KEY TRAJECTORIES, BUT MISSION ABORT MAY BE PREFERABLE. VALUE DETERMINANTS IN FLUX ... 21 MARCH 2004 At last. Woke up this morning an 18-year-old. {smile} Still no camcorder battery.... Wait. Wasn't there something about making a battery out of a potato? I think it was a potato. Something about a potato.... Whatever. Something to try. Yes. Wait ... Maybe that's the theme of my video -- Presidents TRY things. "My fellow Americans. I may be a man without a camcorder battery. BUT I have a potato. And, like, I'm gonna TRY it!" Yeah! This is GREAT! ... Being 18 again is SO cool ... EQUATION 45 confirms CHINA as critical attrator. 13 MARCH 2004 Cheap (Ebay) camcorder battery arrived. No good. But on the bright side, I'm looking younger every day. {smile} Soon be back to 18 again. Ah, but will I revert to being as clueless as I was then? {grin?} Apparently not, since I'm feeling more and more like, hey, man would they hurry up and vote me out of the country. (SEE APPLICATION #82) Looks like I'm going to have to turn over the speech-writing to tyler (TAI-L/HER) since all I feel like saying right now can be expressed in two words... {wink?} 3 MARCH 2004 {smile} ... Good thing there's "lots more time" ... That camcorder battery I bought on ebay back on Feb 4 ... didn't get shipped until NOW. And, now that the age limit has been lowered, I'll spend the next few weeks getting younger for the video. {grin} You don't believe me? What? You don't have an age knob? I thought everybody did. Twisting now ... {smile} How does an ORATOR speak in postmodern times? Like this? 17 FEB 04 RULE: NEVER EXPLAIN WHY ... ... when you can make it manifest. MAKING BOKE'S AMERICAN CANDIATE VIDEO: ONE WEEK UNTIL THE APPLICATION DEADLINE... TECH "DETAILS, DETAILS" [*] 2/5 Lacking a digital video camera, ordered a discontinued analog/digital converter: $150. Video camera battery is dead/dead ... Buy one that MAY work on EBAY for $6 ... Hope it comes in time. [*] 2/7-8 Figure out how to use new hardware and free video editing software that came with Firewire drive. Analog to Digital works great... But can't print back through Firewire to video recorder. Will have to record using analog connections from laptop. Seems to have 60 cycle hum. Will have to do. [*] 2/15 Laptop disk drive is on its last legs. Three reinitializations in the past week. Will need to order another one ($90) and hope it gets here in time ... just in case. ABOVE: BOKE PONDERS THE MAKING OF THAT DAMNED AMERICAN CANDIDATE VIDEO. {smile}

PSYC CONSULTANT: PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE demonstrates strong delusional/narcissistic tendencies. High resistance to "following the rules." This guy's trouble. // Suggest discarding application at this point.
