(I've decided to retire the Highlight Poetry feature on my blog and start this new one which will allow me to talk about poetry as well as other things that interest me!)
Blogspiration is a weekly meme hosted by GrowingUpYA and Saz101. The meme was created to help spark inspiration among bloggers, readers and writers alike. An inspirational quote/picture/video is posted weekly, on the day of the author's choosing, so that it may inspire creativity, conversation or just a little SOMETHING.
Derren Brown is someone I find immensely inspiring. He has inspired me to question the things I have taken for granted and to really delve into my psyche to understand what motivates me as a person and to understand what motivates people in general. Sounds rather grand, but all this thought-provoking analysis comes in entertaining and intriguing TV specials or live shows which always encourages your own rational thinking, and is never preachy or high-handed. Derren has a great sense of humor and often brings this to his shows, while also bringing dark and macabre elements as it applies. When he is inspiring, he shows the very best of humanity and when he is dark, OMG it's so disturbing.
His new special which will air in England on October 26th, will have Derren convincing one person that the Apocalypse is really happening - complete with zombies. At first I would think this is going to be one of those dark, disturbing episodes but having read a little more about it, Derren will be trying to show that person and the viewers how important it is to value what you have - your life right now. Ugh. I'm probably going to cry watching this.
He's a master mind manipulator, illusionist, and magician who always takes his craft to new levels. I am so looking forward to this special and the journey it will take me on. I hope it will find its way to youtube or his Hulu channel! Watch the trailer for the special below! (Edited post 10-22-12 for the new trailer!)
