great helpers

There is an old saying and that is Great minds think alike, well it's both true and untrue. because great minds are also great helpers. Take my friends Chris Duvall, Lee Tolbert, Craig Hale for example. I've known them since 1985, Chris since 1984. They all helped me make a tribute video to one of our fallen classmates who passed away recently. Another person is has a great mind is Kyra Kealy. She really is a sweetie. She has helped me work on the Karmina NYC blog. Another is my friend Tara, and my friend Rena Jones. Tara's helped a lot when I used to have an online magazine. Rena helped me start my own blog here.

Photo cubes aren't easy to make

when it comes to Arts and crafts, I am good at making things. In the past, I've made a Santa puppet, a little plaque for my mom, and many other things. The hardest thing that I had trouble with is a photo cube. That's right a photo cube. Tonight I tried making a photo cube for the Karmina CD listening party I am having. It took a while to make but I finally got it done with a little help from Mr. Scotch Tape. it doesn't look bad though. Here is what it looks like before Mr. Tape helped. Hopefully the CD covers will be easier

My emotions

For some feelings can be good, for others, they can be hurt but I have mixed emotions. For example when I come home from Florida I get so choked up I end up in tears. I even get that way when I say good bye to my parents if they are staying here and they have to go back home home. It happened once at my cousin's house. His wife, said to me, If you cry, then I will cry too. I felt real bad and I stopped so she wouldn't. Sometimes at funerals I won't cry. The last one I cried at was for my brother in law's dad. It was hard on me. Anger can also be mixed. Tonight I was angry at someone because she was telling me what I should do after it took me a couple of weeks to make a tribute video to one of my former classmates who passed away. She was even criticizing the song. The song is one that I chose and I got special permission from Kelly to use it. But I ended up ignoring the girl. The video is nice.

Tribute to a Former Classmate

as you know I have been making movies. My latest project is a tribute video to a former classmate of mine who passed away back on January 27. I even got permission to use one of Karmina's songs for the video. So far it looks great.

three great people

Tonight, I am going to talk about three people who really are great to me. I have mentioned them before here in my blog. They are Janine, and Kelly and Kamille Rudisill. As I had said, Janine is very special to me because of all the things she has done. Her family is so nice to me and she's like a sister I never had even though I have two sisters. She has been through a lot. She lost her last grandma over the holidays and it hit her so hard. Kelly and Kamille have also been very great to me. I am proud to be a team leader on their New York Street team. They made a video for me for my up and coming CD Listening Party. They are two of the nicest people I ever met besides Janine of course.

places I've been too

Ever since I was a little guy I have always loved to go places. One place I went to which was cool was Lucy The Elephant in Margate, NJ. Another was the Ripley's Believe it or not museum in St. Augustine, FL. I also went to George Washington's headquarters, the statue of Liberty, Fanuel Hall in Boston, LL Bean in Maine, the White House and the capital in DC., and The World Trade Center. Of Amusement Parks, I've been to Universal Studios in Orlando twice, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Disney/MGM Studios also in Orlando, Great Adventure in New Jersey, Kings Dominion in Richmond, VA and Busch Gardens in Tampa, and in Virginia

Edward the movie maker

In Case you didn't know, I am also a movie maker. I made my first one on October 15, 2009. It's of the rotating musical Christmas Tree I bought at Hallmark. The second one was 12 days later. It's my elephant collection. I also did movies of my youngest niece, and two youngest nephews in my sister's famiy, a movie of my oldest nephew in my brother's family. The three most recent ones I made were of Karmina, the owners of Melt Sandwich Shop talking to Karmina, and a Special Needs dance featuring Karmina's music. One day I was bored and I played around with the first movie of Karmina, and I added special effects to it. I called it The Many faces of Karmina. It has them and I talking in slow motion, speedy, backwards, flipped, cartoon, and viginette, and normal. I thought it turned out good. It made me laugh too.


OH, BTW, I'm the one who sent the girls their caps they are wearing. I have one myself
