Last weekend I got a call from my daughter at college. She wanted to tell me about "it" before I saw it on the evening news. Early Saturday morning, April 25, at 12:30am a young man tried to slide down the stairway bannister from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor. Instead, he fell over backward landing head 1st on the floor below. He died on impact! The staircase is just 20 feet from my daughter's dorm room door. She said it is creepy that someone died so close to her room & that there is a "memorial" at the foot of the stairs as a constant reminder. I asked her if drinking was involved & she said he drank 2 beers but was not drunk or impaired in any way. She said although he was an upper classman she did know him saying he was nice & smart. Fortunately, she was not inside her room at the time but got a call after the incident. Her dorm hall was taped off & filled with police when she was forced to enter through a side door. The paramedics left a mess too b/c they tried & had succeeded once in reviving him. The police took a piece of the carpet too as evidence. I watched the news here at home but it was not on the news here. We both thought it would have made the state wide news. It's my daughter's 1st experience knowning someone her own age that has died. It is just such a sad, sad story!

My son is a Junior in college at SUNY Cobleskill. He is 21 yrs old. He has been studying advertising & TV production. He just showed me what he's been working on all year in school. If you're interested in meeting my son, Brian, go to youtube & type in Mini Pep Pep in the search or go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3JZD_OpRW8&feature=related.

Mini Pep Pep: My son, Brian, stars & narrates this crazy infomercial. His girlfriend is Nicole, she has short black hair & is wearing a green shirt. That is NOT his kitchen!

Other "movies";

Luigi's Betrayal: Brian is the camera man. He can only be heard singing & laughing in the very end with his girlfriend. The beginning takes place at his apt. Entry door in the kitchen, McDonald's sign in livingroom along with my yellow w/red flower paintings. Flowered wallpaper is in his bathroom. The rest is filmed at Bouck Hall, SUNY Cobleskill.

How To Keep A Pet Bear: Had I known he was doing this I would have suggested a buffalo instead b/c I actually have a huge buffalo head hat! It would have worked in this video! Anyway, it's Brian's apt that the "bear" trashes. It's obvious why I'm buying him paintings & curtains, lol!!

Interview: What's this about?! It's hard to say! The rabbit is cute! Does the rabbit die? I hope not, I don't want to be a Grandmother yet, lol!! Brian asks the questions off camera & he interviews his girlfriend Nicole. Again, short dark hair.

Dalton The Zombie Killer: Seems to be the most popular with most views. It is the shortest.

I hope you enjoy my son's crazy antics! He tells me his professor has given him & his team all A's for their productions. Feel free to comment to me or on youtube. He'd appreciated some KIND words ONLY, lol!! Love to all out there!

Today is Earth Day! I hope everyone is enjoying life on this beautiful planet today!

My brother in law is having eye surgery today. He is only the 8th person in the USA to have this surgery. He had a radioactive "seed" implanted in his eye last year b/c of cancer. It worked, the tumor is gone but the residual effect are cataracts. Today he underwent surgery to have the cataract removed & he is going to have his lens, the new experimental part of the surgery, replaced too. So for the 1st time EVER he will have PERFECT vision without glasses! This will really, truly change his life. He needs limited activity for 2 weeks & then will undergo the procedure to his other eye for truly perfect vision! His birthday is on Friday & his wedding anniversary, to my sister, is on Saturday. A big week for him! I hope all went well for him today. Nobody deserves it more than him! Love to all out there!
