Guns in Compton

'Compton's gun trade a success' was the title of a recent article about an event held in Compton, California, which doesn't seem like a success to me.

Here's why. The bad guys, (drug dealers, gang members) won't be turning in any guns,
at least not any good ones that they use to spread violence and sell drugs around town.

The only ones who would be likely to turn in their guns are the average citizen who might
need some cash and has a gun in the house. The problem with this is that they will no longer
have the guns when one of these drug dealers or gang members mistakenly knocks down
their front door, shooting at them. They won't be able to shoot back.

Ah, but the gun trade was a 'success', well I say a success for who?

As a quick side note regarding the 'Big Kuta videos:
Many have asked when these will be done, because this has taken
much longer than anyone expected. Well, heres the quick version
of what happened.

My video person tried a new video camera for this one event. It was one
of those DVD camcorders, and wow, what a mess! That led to one problem
after another. (He has returned to his 3 chip, mini-dv production quality
camera so this shouldn't happen again)

Each step of the way, capturing, editing, finalizing, rendering
took unusual measures to complete. And, well anyway, its all in the hands
of my dvd man now who tells me he'll be burned the footage to disk this weekend.

So, next week look for an email about 'Big Kuta videos'. Also I'll put up some
more video clips of the event.

Thank you so much for everyone being so patient.

Have a fantastic day!

Sincerely,

Al Abidin

Christmas eve

Had a great Christmas eve. Wonderful dinner; family and watched Polar Express. Not a bad movie.

Good night.

Fat bandit nabbed

The "Overweight Bandit," suspected in at least 10 bank robberies, including one
in Long Beach, was captured in northeastern Los Angeles Tuesday, according to
the FBI.

Don't let greed land you in prison for such a foolish act as this man did.

Crime doesn't pay, only hard work and perserverence does.
You are not victim and neither am I. Each of us is in control of their lives
and how hard and smart we work determines how successful we'll be.

If we work hard with diligence, in time it WILL pay off, but we have
to be patience. Success doesn't fall out of a cracker jack box. It takes time.
If it did come quickly, we probably wouldn't appreciate it.

Have a great day.

Almost traded my PC for a MAC today

Almost traded my PC for a MAC today.
I was trying to upload a new self-defense videoclip and my computer
went dead 2 times. It just shut down, and then wouldn't start.

I won't get into the details but tomorrow, my computer is in for
a whole lot of but kicking. I'm going to wipe it clean.

Have a great day.
