David Vega's 41st Birthday Video is Dedicated to Caitlin Francis, the 2012 Mystical Ninja Boss Rush
I have a tradition. I give OTHER people gifts on or around MY birthday (because of a lot of emotional baggage I don't want to get into), and since last birthday at 40 was probably the most epic ever, I think I should actually put EFFORT from now on into keeping the tradition alive on purpose rather than my general nature, which is what it has been lifelong until we realized it last year. That is documented in the setup to this, and then once Caitlin Francis' "FS4 Professional Firestarter Intro" kicks in, THAT from then on is the intended video. This is actually the briefest setup to the "Firestarter" concept yet. Anything else has taken a longer setup.
Ok now very briefly...
Here she is... Go follow her https://www.instagram.com/caitlinfrancistv/
And also... here is the charity most important to her...

Stuff like this with my videos were ALWAYS the plan
It was supposed to be the 2011 Japanese Relief Fund that the original stunt in 2012 from which this footage of 30 year old me comes from that it was going to be donated to. But you can probably sort of glean from the subtext and audio drops and such why that didn't happen... and when I find people like Caitlin Francis who actually have charities they care about, and it turns out they are EXACTLY like the people in 2003 that I worked with at UC Davis in AGTV and a camera man and editor and also people I worked even longer with from 2019-2020 (you can see Martin Anaya, the director of that internship who later said he'd legit stalk me over ragging on him for facebook politics discussions during covid) where I did basically everything for those types...... and yet, today in 2023 we find that SOME of those same people actually support charities.
So the question becomes... "Why couldn't somebody... anybody... i would have even taken the advice of some random dude of the street if he could have told me this...... WHY.... PRETEL...... (Carlton word).... couldn't somebody tell me back in 2012 that there might just be people like Caitlin today in 2023 that are more fit to benefit from my charity plan in a PROFESSIONAL capacity rather than anybody in the past who it was ACTUALLY intended for......... with NO public or visible interest in charity, if not for ME introducing it?"
I'm sure it's not a 2023 only thing for any type of people in any type of public work to care about charity. I'm they were walking, talkin, and meandering around out there somewhere back in 2012.... yet NOOOOOOObody introduced me to them, where ever the hell they were.
So that's one of the reasons that dedicating this for Caitlin and her charity appeals to me. Also I really really wanted to use Hanson's "mmmBop" as an individualized celebration song. "Mini-Stunts" (like this one) or "#2 Runs" are ideal for those. My "L' Estaci Dell Oro" is for ONLY the #1's. Full game elites. Like the Perfect Vezina Stunt, which ALSO got completed finally for a DUDE after all these years. Daniel Teixeira, beneficiary of my will.
So there. There's your ULTRA long explanation for everything.
Welcome to the new growing category of "Temp FS4 Professional" inspirational people for me Caitlin. You are appreciated. In this capacity.
Also, I'm not responsible for whatever any LIP-readers make out of the post game self-interview at the end. If you read through that, you have to do it looking through a 50% opaque puppy charity instagram site. So, THOUGH you may do it and find out everything 30 year old David said (about his OLD attempted inspiration), I made dam straight skippy you have to do it through looking through a charity page. They are inseparable.
HAH HAH..... HA-HE-HA-HE HA HA and NANNY NANNY BOO BOO! You can't make anything bad out of that if it takes lip reading through a SUPERIMPOSITION of a CHARITY.
HA HA and NANNY NANNY FRIKKIN BOO BOO!!!! (to the lip readers out there).
Just everybody enjoy the mmmBop for Caitlin.
I'm not covering my lips. I did that all throughout the PVS stunt and it was brutal. I'm not doing that a second time. lol
