Long Lost Friend
Posted on 05. Jan, 2006 by Kevin Buckstiegel in Blogs Before Blogs, VideoBlogs
In another edition of Vlogs Before Vlogs, we visit an old friend of mine. Luke would have loved the internet if he lived long enough to have seen it. This is a little jump for him to still get on the internet and to never be forgotten.
Remember comments are good, you bad boy.

Excellent, from scene selection, through the use of music, and especially the bravery to produce it with intense first person narration.

This make me want to get back in touch with another old friend of mine. I haven’t seen him in a couple of years and we go way back too. Excellent video.

Very well done, Kevin. Your friend would be PROUD!
This made me want to go out and video tape everyone I know, because we never know when we part from them, if it will be our last time together.
It’s my hopes that videos, like this one, will open people’s eyes and see that the little things in life aren’t important.

Hi Kevin,
I’m glad you posted a comment a my site. I happened to pass by your blog a while ago and very much liked this entry “Long lost friend”. As it hit very close to home as I lost a close friend last year which I vlogged about a little, I could not comment then. But since your recent comment on my site I feel I must now.
I have found it very useful to share things like this in this medium. A Very moving post. Thanks for sharing it.
Since it’s been a while I look forward to catchin up on your work.
Mark.
