hmm.. my ritual consists, of...
...expecting not to make the final cut...
...then decide not to enter...
...but just before the deadline come up with an idea...
...then make a quick simple video for the heck of it...
...then consider entering it...
...then decide not too... but enter it anyways...
...expect to not make the final cut...
...end up making the final cut...
...wonder why I made the final cut...
...than completely ruin my long history of never making the final cut...
...than end up not winning anything...
...think about it, and convince myself I shouldn't enter anymore...
so as it stands now, I have nothing new I'd enter... and I'm not expecting to make the final cut... and of course not! I haven't created anything new yet... or entered anything

hehehe
ultimately.. if I do make something it's not for the contest. the contest deadline is just the motivator to quickly complete the video project. so we will see.
