Hey audience! My name is Chuck Le Gros...I'm looking at the wrong place... Hey audience!
My name is Chuck Le Gros from www.CutsOfChuck.com, and if you had any idea how many times I've
recorded this beginning sequence you would realize I am, in fact, diagnosably insane.
"Vivaldi's Cello Concerto in G Major" I have no idea what to say here, I've never created
a video--except for once when I was a kid, but that was a prank so it doesn't count--so
I'm really, really hoping that this will be able to be used as a sounding board to understand
what you guys want to know about me, about the website, and about the process of creating
it. Because really, really want to talk about that stuff, I just don't know where to begin.
First of all, of course, I'm Chuck Le Gros. I live in Pittsburgh, I'm a grocer and a wannabe
writer, and hopefully this project will be what catapults me to that dream of mine. And,
in the interim, I've created two big essays--"Apostrophe Apostasy" and a "Penetrative Argument"--and
then a series of sub-essays, more personal essays, things that are more like diary entries.
And those, of course, are the "About My Father" sequence, and you'll find out a few others
that are, again, slated to be published very soon. And I'm sorry my, uh, couch squeaks
a lot, so... (silence) It's not doing it now... (squeak, squeak, squeak) I, uh, I'm really,
really, like I said, gonna try to make this as succinct as possible--which is already
crashing and burning. I don't know where to look on the camera. So you can see in all
my vanity I keep looking down at the screen to look at this handsome punam, and then if
I look too high up at the camera it's clear I'm looking at the camera, so I have this
little thing, this box... it's right... no it's not... it's right, it's right there...
and that's what I'm trying to look at, so I can meet your gaze and we can look into
each other's souls and really get to know each other. Any way, I'm now rambling, you
can see I have absolutely no structure, I've never gotten beyond the introduction, so this
is a big milestone for me. Um, and if this makes the final cut then you know that means
that I am absolutely shattered and have nothing interesting or relevant to say at all whatsoever.
So, until then, um, thank you so much for tuning in and I'm looking forward to next
time, and I hope that you can give me a little bit of guidance on this and let me know, um,
smart ways to pursue this sort of little... venture in the future. Alright, until then,
uh, I'll see you around... (struggling to put glasses on) Jesus Christ...
