WHEN I FIRST STARTED MAKING VIDEO BLOGS I WOULD ADD SOME SILLINESS IN WITH THE INTENDED MESSAGE, AS TIME HAS GONE ON, THE SILLINESS WAS ABANDONED:

DURING THE BLOG WARS GOING ON NOW AN ANONYMOUS BLOGGER AT THE KPTV+KATU BLOG POSTED ALL MY COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE ON A MERCURY BLOG DURING THIS INCIDENT 3 YEARS AGO. IN THE SAME STYLE THAT AMY RUIZ (now on Sam Adams staff) DID BACK WHEN THIS STORY ORIGINALLY AIRED, THE ANONYMOUS BLOGGER ATTEMPTED TO PAINT ME AS A BIGOTED HOMOPHOBE, ONE OF MANY WORKING AS A TRIMET BUS DRIVER. THE DEFAMING OF TRIMET BUS DRIVERS USING EXAGGERATION AND MANIPULATION OF FACTS IS NOW PART OF PORTLAND MEDIA CULTURE!

CHANGING THE CHAINS from al m on Vimeo.

The following video was made before the public hysteria and the media's constant banging on the "Trimet is evil" drum took over our lives. Trimet always anxious about its public perception and wary of a litigious society who jumps on any possible angle to get something for nothing, promulgated regulations prohibiting the behavior you will see in this video. If you get nervous watching bus drivers doing anything other than driving a bus you may want to shield your eyes from this video.
