Alexandra is my very success driven daughter (chip off the old block) She is working towards her degree in engineering and has her inner voice telling her she is an actress.

I have always supported whatever it is that she is passionate about…You could say i am one lucky Dad.

Vote for Alexandra if you get a chance and even if you don’t check out her video statement and monologue…thanks

Part two of some silly observations ….yada yada yada

My very success driven daughter Alexandra is shooting for her engineering degree at Texas A & M…but has a new found bug for acting…actually it’s not new…she has been cracking up the family and friends for years already..anyway a while back Mad TV came out with a very funny sketch featuring “Bon Qui Qui” at “King Burger”  here is her interpretation of that skit … afterward check out the original (or vice a versa) HERE

The dance floor would go berserk once i banged this in from the very first beat…my light man Jumpin’ Jason would black out the room and build the lights right along with the build up of this track… not only that but the Funky Black Man, Timmy Butler would wait for my cue and play live keyboards as well…wow…what an experience!..i always felt like a conductor
