Movies
Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993)
One of my favorite movies when I need a good laugh! A parody of the story of Robin Hood, particularly parodying Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The film also does minor parodies and references on previous Mel Brooks's films, modern-day jokes, and other popular films and people.

November 2008 sees the release of Steve’s long awaited debut EP “Nothing”. His seductive charm combined with his intuitive gift for melodic nuances and his distinctive voice strike a particular resonance with the listener’s vulnerability.
Written and recorded between the winter of 2006 and the spring of 2008, the selected tracks “Close”, “Nothing” and “To Fall With You” are described by Steve as, “my initial attempts at writing with honesty - everything laid bare and open”
Together again with all 3 brothers and all 3 sisters was truly a blessing! We had a great Holiday Weekend in Laughlin, NV.
My sister Jas & I pose in our new shirts! LOL!
Loving life for soooo many reasons.... family, our kitty Ziggy... my work... friends... music... art... & the opportunities for new adventures!
I like thinking of the possible and positive in life and do not like SOCIAL INEQUALITY, WAR or destructive negativity... I feel life's meant to be lived to the fullest of one's potential and wish everyone would strive for that ~ on a daily basis! :)
Sharing life with... family and friends :) people who are passionate... who have love and respect for eachother and our beautiful planet earth... these are a few of my favorite things!!
I enjoy working in the visual communications field, which first began when I was 17! Honing skills at the local evening newspaper in composition and typography, I then moved on to various companies in the Inland Empire, also attending Riverside City College. Eventually relocating to Los Angeles, I worked as a freelance contractor for companies Smart & Final, International Video Entertainment, NBC, Rangefinder Magazine, and Bernard Hodes Advertising, among others. I also earned certification in Advanced Mac-based Quark Express at Mind Over MacIntosh, and in Visual Communications at Multi Media Institute.
More recently and currently working from my home-based business, I've put together a slideshow displaying some of my work (below after my personal stuff), followed by more client samples. If you're in need of graphics for print or web, or developing/creating your website, feel free to contact me here or through my website, JoDzigns.com.

Nu School Digital Illustrated Grammar Web Book
After years of great endeavors, a dear friend has launched her online version of Nu School's Digital Illustrated Grammar Web Book!
... and here's her new banner!!)
an old lady is working on her front lawn one Saturday morning and suddenly, she sees her young gorgeous neighbor is running out from her house checking her mail box in front her house. She opens her mail box but nothing in it. She is sadly walking back to her house. Few seconds later, this neighbor is rushing out of her house and open her mail box to check her mail again. And again, she found nothing....... This strange behavior keeps going on for almost 20 minutes. The old lady can not help herself but asking her young neighbor why she is running out of her house, opening her mail box and walking back to her house over and over again.
The pretty lady replied, " I was talking to my girlfriend on the internet and this computer keeps saying that I got mails, but there is no mail in my mailbox every times I came out to check. STUPID COMPUTER !"
This is an update of my search...... It is extremely frustrated in searching a new place to purchase,,,,, have made three offered but none of them were successful...... frustration came from the offer price is higher than asking price but still no lucky,,,,,,,, in the brink of giving it up. It is really emotional drained for this first time buyer....LOL.. Because of this, I have not been myself lately, tired,,,,,,, frustrated. I guess the only right thing to do is keeping going,,,,,,,, Just want to thank all my friends here for supporting n understanding ....... hugs n kisses to my friends.... Jerry
Update my house hunting, MY FRIENDS.......... saw one beauuuuuuuutiful place, an oasis to me,,,,,, waiting for further detail from my broker,,,,,,,,, wish me luck !! I'll need it,,,,,, TGIF...
Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? What if we gave it to Kids as gifts? What if we used it when we travel? What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go.....hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think, 'where are my priorities?
Trust in the Lord and remember when you place a call to God's throne the line is never busy! And there are no dropped calls! He is calling you, is your line open to receive His message.
Dropped in to say thank you for staying with me while I am busy fixing my computer. I am glad I am bacck,,,, my computer is back to life again,,,,, still breathing and kicking.....

I am really tired of this search,, Anyway.......... thank for everyone still staying with me,,,,,,,,,,, xoxo.......
