my MEmorial & Suitcase

Hey ya'll,
For now, my suitcase is located here, but only b/c Clemson's site is giving me grief. In the meantime, enjoy the ads. Though it's linked to from the suitcase, my MEmorial is reproduced below.
My memorial is on faith and it's death/rebirth. I felt that this was something we could all relate to in one way or another (as academes who have a sense of the spiritual as well). It's meant to be meditative, not didactic, so I hope it comes across that way.
It's a three parter. All three parts are best viewed in full screen because of the amount of text. Click the google video button and go to the video screen from there. Then click full screen.

This first section covers the birth and death. Music=Weakerthans "Illustrated Bibles Stories for Children."



Again, music by the Weakerthans, this time it's "Reconstruction Site". This second one is about trying to revive a faith that has fallen dead due to a swelled head.




The third one is by far the most experimental. All text, no images. Song is "Hospital Vespers". Title is "Faith like a violent wound" is taken from Josh Abboud. In fact, it's taken quite literally a la printscreen. It may take two or three viewings to get anything out of it.
