Let me clarify.  I am all about facial hair.  While I have been known to wear a pretty consistant soul patch for the last 5 or 6 years, I have always strayed from the beard or mustache. Not because I am one of those guys that can’t accomplish these manly items, but I choose not to because I have a higher calling in life:  to receive an abundance of love and kisses from my beautiful wife, who rightfully so, would rather not get lost in a face-ful of hair to get to my supple.. || Continue Reading →

Never has the year 2000 looked so futuristic. A funny mid-20th century newsreel featuring amazingly accurate predictions of the year 2000. This video won BEST SHORT FILM – New York Comedy Film Festival and will give you a good chuckle or two. I love the narration and choice of backtrack music. Definitely a throw back to films of the 50’s and 60′… Enjoy!
