Creation Tv

I went to a science fiction convention in Burbank California( by myself I might add), I'm a huge Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and of course Star Wars Fan! While getting my photo taken with Na Na Visitor of Deep Space Nine, she played Major Kira Nerys, one of my favorites, I ended up on this TV Show. It for the convention, but I think they use it for advertisements also. This will mark my 3rd or 4th time on Tv. All Without my consent. My friend josh the lawyer, claims I should sue. Anyway enjoy it, make fun of me the Geek. I don't care. I had a great time. I was there in April of 2007. So i still had a wee bit of the long hair, and pay no attention to the gut! By the way, this was also the trip I met Bill Paxton, one of the hippies from the Amazing race, not to mention all the stars from Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. the Pics can be seen on Flickr.

Gandalf vs Witch King

This is how it should have been,,,,,,

Sorry people, until playing this for the Twins, I didn't realize it's not in English. I always had the sound turned down. But you get the basic idea. NEVER in print or otherwise, was Gandalf afraid of the Witch King, regardless of The Prophecy. Gandalf outranked him. And was more powerful. He might not have been able to slay Angmar, but he could have seriously hurt him!

Frodo dont wear the Ring

From the Flight of The Conchords. Hysterical. Interestingly enough one of these guys was actually in The fellowship of the Ring and The Return of The King. He played an Elf, whom fans dubbed Figwit.

Riders of Rohan-The Rohirram

You can hear our Guide Per (pronounce pair) , really well in this clip.

This was our Last Day in Queenstown. October 2006. A total day of relaxation, no stress. Tomorrow we will have to get on a plane for almost 24hrs. The Twins are here showing you what they did EVERWHERE! ALL THE TIME! Every time the bus stopped and there was water close by, They threw rocks. A boys favorite passtime.

Born of Hope

Another Lord of The Rings Fan Film. This one is The story of The Dunedain. Especially the story of Gilraen and Arathorn, the parents of Aragorn. I think its so wonderful that so many people have such love and passion about LOTR, that they are willing to give their time and money, to participate in these kinds of films. The Title of this one is Born of Hope.

Man From Atlantis

This was my favorite Tv Show, I think I was about 10, when it began, late 70's. But I never missed it. My mom would call me, when it was on, remember the times before vcr's, and I would come running to watch it. I didnt care what or who I was with. Everyone made fun of me. I would swim underwater just like this too. I wish they would remake it!
AAAhhhh memories.

Our Last Summer

Dear Sue

The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Paris night.
Did it's best to please us
And strolling down the Elysee
We had a drink in each cafe
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine,
laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam,
round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day, worries far away
Last summer

When I first heard this song in Mamma Mia , I couldn't help but think of our trip to France Last Summer. And as we come up to that One year anniversary, my mind is flooded with those memories.
Brian

Silvie
Bien que nous avons eu des problèmes, j'ai eu toujours un temps merveilleux et vous aime beaucoup. Je souhaite que nous pourrions le faire encore somtime, si non, j'ai toujours nos mémoires,,,,,

A Reason, A Season or a Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
It is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
To provide you with guidance and support,
To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a Godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time,
This person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met,
Our desire fulfilled, so their work is done.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON
Because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it; it is real, but only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons.
Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person
And put what you have learned to use
In all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Star Wars The Clone Wars

The Twins and I, got to see this a week before everyone else. We enjoyed it. The only complaint I have is that there are thousands of Jedi, lets focus on some of them. Get off Anakin already. I'm getting tired of him. Not Obi Wan, He is my favorite!

The Hunt For Gollum

This is an incredible fan film of the events leading up to The Lord of the Rings, but after the events from The Hobbit. Its by Chris Bouchard , a film-maker from the UK. It should be completed by December 2008. Here is his blog, which discusses all the details, I just wanted to share the new trailer its amazing!

The Rohirrim-Riders of Rohan

We are riding in a beautiful place called Glenorchy, south of Queenstown, South Island New Zealand. This Is Toms first time on a horse and he was really nervous. When we arrived I come to find out, we would by riding English, Then I became nervous! I figured the boys would chicken out when they realized there was nothing to hold on to. But they persevered, mostly because Raewyn told us that all the horses were in Two Towers/Return of the King. Of course Tom get the only horse that was actually in the movie. his horses name was Oscar. What an appropriate name. Timmy rode Ginger and I had Seth. Our guide was Per. He was fantastic, we all enjoyed him. At one point, while I was taking a picture, Tom's horse takes off down a hill, and spooks my horse, which also goes running after,, I have one hand on the reins and 1 hand on the camera. We managed to get control of our horses. Tom was OK, Thank God, he wasn't scared. Per was cracking up he said we looked like 2 American Cowboys. What a compliment! In this clip, Tom and I are waiting for Per to get Timmy. His horse was a little stubborn.
