12 STDs of Xmas or My Brother is My Hero

When I was nine years old, my mom borrowed the first VHS video camera I had ever seen from her University and brought it home for my brother and I to experiment. Within hours we assumed roles that would carry us through the rest of our lives. The nerdy older brother directing the collaboration and working behind the lens, while the eerily talented and good looking younger brother hammed it up for the camera.

We spent countless days filming myriad little movies (I have since learned to call them 'projects'). From Karatepiece Theatre (think Alistair Cooke meets Jackie Chan) to Larry is Loose (a precursor to Scary Movie) and Escape from Awfulwitz (almost got me expelled from junior high), Brian could always be counted on to bring some laughs and beauty to my hastily executed productions. We had no editing equipment in those days, so each take was do-or-die and our Crayola marker title sequences were the first bit shot. Somehow they all turned out to be sidesplitting.

Nothing makes me happier than to fast forward more than twenty years from those days filming in the yellow light of the basement and see my brother still cracking people up. Very few of us are fortunate enough, or as is often the case, determined enough, to have the opportunity to pursue as a career that which we truly do best, and that which we enjoy most. It has not been an easy path for Brian. Working shit jobs while acting for no pay and performing stand-up to frightfully challenging audiences, my brother has busted his ass in this quirky little business forever. Yet, this year, without a doubt, things have taken off for Brian.

As I have mentioned before, his comedic duo Pete and Brian has been selling out Pete and Brian's One Man Show on both coasts. Then came the writing gigs, new management deals, some big name ad projects. Plus, one huge announcement that I will let him tell you about himself. All told, 2006 has been breakthrough from Brian and I couldn't be more excited for him as 2007 is shaping up to be even better.

For now, just kick back and enjoy these holiday greetings from Pete and Brian as they regale you with the 12 STDs of Christmas.

that is funny. I used to make similar videos with a couple of friends to send to a buddy who had to move away. my role? whatever, I do what I want. which, in that case, was collaborate, star, direct, write, operate the camera and try not to laugh too loudly into the phone...happy holidays.

really, peace.

Well said, such a person should be a good sentence, or the future will be more rampant.

Great post. I was tempting in starting a music section on a personal blog. Just music that I like with perhaps the lyrics. Sound like i could get away with it, but I'll definitely think twice about it.

He is clear, the elegant beauty of the surrounding young talents, hang said, the talented person is put in a low, low to dust, to such a man, and because of his love for her low to dust, she was no awareness. Eating meals, she suddenly tears...The next day, she left the city, she gave him a message: I want to get married... That night, she wrote in his diary: only cloud knows stars... Only the clouds know how beautiful stars, star, she brightened her to remember when I was a child, he and she together hand in hand to see stars, she said a dust, look, the stars! He said, not stars, is in the clouds. Her third for man to have an abortion, the doctor said she couldn't have children. The house is a dust and fourteen requests... Tear stains on paper... Know when not planted a seed, the moonlight light buckles, found that most have missed...

In June of 1996, chez Domaine du Val des Rois, in Valreas, I tasted a 1969 rose that my host, Romain Bouchard, had made, from Grenache, Syrah, and Gamay, and it was breath-taking! Only very slightly past its prime, but still vivid and precise, and riveting. After which we tasted a Tavel, from...1968--a terrible year--and it was more tired than the Bouchard wine, but amazingly still quite interesting.

Thank you for your opiniones and words, dear brothers!
David: yes, in our Spanish speaking world ABBA BIBLES is the only one that rebinds Bibles with high quality leathers and methods. I asked them to upgrade their website, because there will be a lot of people interested in their services. And for Spanish, well, it's the language of Heaven! Isn't it?
Esteban & Abraham: yes, the RVR60 is the most used and trusted Bible in our Spanish speaking churches. The RVR95 is just the last revision of that one, and only affects some words and the order of poetry, but not the Reina-Valera principles. I also have another Bibles versions rebounded by Abba Bibles, and like Mark said, today just is the beggining of the posts about them. Be patient!
