a. Had a dream of winning this contest
b. Acted on that dream by building a unique cardboard dorm in our garage;
c. Convinced others to participate in his dream and work as a team;
d. Spent untold hours building, scripting, filming, capturing, cutting, pasting and editing this film.

5. How nice to for him to think that he his well wishers across our nation rooting for him....

6. How nice to encourage one of our own and give a boost to them.

7. Thank you to all of those supporting and encouraging a young man's dream! Carry on!

Thank you for expounding, but it isn't necessary. I was picking on you and thought you would know that. That is what the smiley face is for. I wasn't joking about not voting anymore though.

VOTED! Now it's really bedtime. My daughter and grandson came in so I played with him for a few minutes (of course), so I thought I would vote once more before turning in!!

Nite y'all!!

What's up with the uncalled for nastiness?

I wasn't being nasty. There is a difference in being nasty and being honest. Get over it. See? I am not being nasty to you, just being honest. I voted a bunch of times before I decided I wasn't going to vote anymore. The comments about Sister Newman paying for the stuff for him were me messing around. That is what the smiley face was for.

This is not so much about the money. It is about a young man in college making commercials and having them noticed by Best Buy and other companies.

When you talked about going back to school to do better for yourself and your family, I applauded you. I think it's great when folks want to enlarge their territories.

One of the main reasons this caught my attention is that I have a daughter in college and she is striving for a majr in communications. Her dream is to write best selling books. When she publishes, I will be online with bells on, asking you guys to support her as much as you can. It's not that I can't help Tabitha (monetarily) realize that dream, but it's knowing that there are folks out there who will take time out to become a part of it with her, or Michael, or whomever has asked for our help at the moment.

I only hope that by the time you need our support with a project, that people will look past the nastiness of this comment and come to your side the way they have Newman's.

See my previous posts concerning this.

My way of voting is this:

I'm starting with number 4 and going through 20 bumping everyone to the top. That way, it puts everyone in REVERSE order from what they were. I make sure the two toughest competitors are in numbers 19 & 20. Then I find Michael's video, and bump him up to the top.

Just voted again, and resetting timer to remind me in an hour. LOL

Well, now I see what posting on the fly and thinking people would know which part I was being serious on and which part I having some fun on bought me. Oh well. Such is life. My apologies to anyone who got offended.

[Blubayou]

Voted again!

[Rico]

See Newman? My complaining about voting so much has inspired everyone to vote that much more! You should thank me instead of getting upset with me.

[LaVonne]

voted...probably for the last time this evening.
