A Look Back at 2008

It is the last day of 2008 and what a year it has been:

National Headlines



Political Headlines



Global Headlines



Sports Headlines



With everything going on this year no wonder TVLesson wasn't mentioned in any of those videos. So how about I have a TVLesson 2008: Year in Review. Meeting stars like Tyrone Wells, Gene LeBell, Rick Dees, Fred Travalena, and WWE Superstars; not to mention the trainer of WWE Diva, Maria, and California Boxing Hall of Famer, David Martinez TVLesson was able to gather tons of information on different careers. TVLesson was also there to cover the story on gay marriages and also score interviews with Jamie Chambers and Sid Garcia. TVLesson was also fortunate enough to obtain interviews with the great Stan Chambers and morning news star, Frank Buckley. Must say it has been quite a year; but this is not the end. This is just the beginning for TVLesson and with many more features coming in the 2009, TVLesson is going to start this year off with a bang. Happy New Year to all our viewers and see you all next year.

Happy Holidays!!!

It's the holiday season and we at TVLesson would like to wish you all a Happy Holiday!!!! Okay, so if any of you have been keeping up with the TVLesson Vlog with Jim and Sean, then you all know I have this weird growth on the back of my leg. At first, I thought it was a spider bite; but now I'm leaning more towards a boil. I think the biggest fear is that it will somehow end up like this:




Or maybe even worse (This one is a little gruesome):




Man, that would suck if an alien popped out of my leg, but think of the views that would get. I also have a smaller one below my left eye, my body seems to be a host for aliens.

Well, on to more exciting news. TVLesson has changed tremendously this past year and the coming year looks very promising. We will be introducing some brand new features (I promise you won't be disappointed), so stay tuned for that and again, Happy Holidays!!!

3 Posts in One Week!!!

I know!!!! 3 posts in one week, I'm a little shocked myself. I wasn't going to post anything until next week, but this picture inspired me to make a post.


All I can say is, what happened to Mike Tyson? He must have bitten off more than he could chew (by the looks of it way more). But seriously, he looks like he could be George Foreman's brother. Maybe he should have concentrated on lifting weights in the gym, rather than lifting the lid of the George Foreman Grill. Alright, no more jokes about Mike Tyson, he might bite my ear off (seriously, that was the last one).

Some other TVLesson news is that we now have a video blog, hosted by Jim Gomez and his faithful sidekick, SEAN KIM!!!! (wave hands in a goofy karate motion). Hey, how about we make their blog a little more interesting. You, as the viewer, tell TVLesson what you want them to talk about or do and if it is somewhat reasonable, maybe you will see it on TVLesson. Well, stay tuned for more TVLesson News.

As promised, here are the beautiful pictures of Anabel,







Isn't she a cute kid? Well, I don't have any of Audrey yet, but when I get them I will post them up for everyone to see. Thanks for tuning back in, until next time.

CS4 is now at TVLesson

Good morning to all of our faithful viewers and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Okay, so a lot has happened since the last post and I just wanted to fill everyone in. First of all, I want to say congratulations to the president of TVLesson; he is now a proud father of two beautiful baby girls, Anabel, who is now one, and Audrey, the newborn, born Dec 5, 2008 (Pictures to be posted once I receive them). I have yet to see any pictures of Audrey myself, but I have seen some of Anabel and I must say she is one cute baby. If you think you have seen cuter please feel free to link/post them on the comments.

Okay, now on to a subject more relevant to the title. Yes, you guessed it. TVLesson just got a copy of Adobe CS4 Master Collection. It's like Christmas came early this year. Now unfortunately, I can't install it until I have service pack 1 for vista; but I can tell you about the amazing new features for Premiere Pro that I just can't wait to use. Well, I take that back I don't want to bore anyone as I type endlessly about the incredibly cool new features of the Premiere Pro CS4 so instead I will link videos of the the new features I especially like: nest command, sync lock, and batch encoding.

*WARNING: The next item has nothing to do with TVLesson, but if you are bored and have nothing to do I recommend you keep reading*

Now on a side note, this weekend I went to Knott's Berry Farm to watch Airborne Toxic Event and I must say they are simply amazing live. Anna Bulbrook and Noah Harmon are amazing together (Yes, that is him playing the bass with a bow). If you don't know who they are, then let me be the first to recommend them to you (Unless you don't like dark indie rock). Well, there is work to be done; but thanks for tuning into the TVLesson Blog and stay tuned for the pictures of our president's two beautiful daughters.

If you're bored.

Still bored.

Okay, now this is just ridiculous. Get back to work.

Old blogger out, new blogger in!!!

This is officially the start of the New and Improved TVLesson blog. This blog will provide a space for our faithful viewers to be updated on any upcoming events, products, and contests that will be held by TVLesson or a place where I vent and tell all the viewers what is on my mind.

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend, but unfortunately Monday had to roll around and ruin it for everybody. This weekend was very uneventful, but I was tinkering with After Effects and Flash and made this simple but fun little clip.






Wondering whether or not to put it up on the site. Vote in the comments with a "yes" or a "no" and let's see what happens.

Well, if you guys haven't guessed it, I'm a huge fan of Adobe Products (especially After Effects). Has to be hands down one of the best products out there. I'm no professional and can't do much with it, but with the help of Andrew Kramer (if you don't know who he is, then shame on you), I have learned the basics and some really neat tricks. Well, I should really get back to work since I am typing this while on the clock, but thanks for tuning into TVLesson.

Thanksgiving Weekend

So Thanksgiving just passed and on that sunday after all that food, i weighed myself and I happened to have gained about three pounds. I talk to my roommates and they said they have gained FIVE pounds! I thought this was crazy. We gained so much, so of course we had to think of a way to loose that weight. So far we think Wii Fit is the best choice. Its probably the cheapest or the easiest to use. Because if your a college student, like me, you don't want to be paying 50 dollars a month for a gym membership. To tell you the truth though, my college does have a gym and students do get in for free. BUT, have you ever got out of class and thought oh this would be a good time to go to the gym but then on the other hand it would be a good time to relax on the couch, watch some tv and have lunch. Of course option B would usually win. Lets admit that people today are quite the lazy ones and thats why we keep gaining all that weight (especially in college). So the best solution had to be Wii Fitness. It's in the comfort of your own house, you don't have to worry about any cute guys or girls looking at you and seeing you all gross and sweaty!

Come on, how could you resist!

...By the way, i promise I'm not working for Wii. I just really like Wii Fit.

Comedy and Laughter

There's nothing like laughing out loud to a good joke or a comedian. They say that laughter is the cure for everything and it seems to be true because anytime someone is sad, give them something to laugh at and just like that, *Snap* their sadness is gone.

What makes laughter such a powerful tool? Is it because the body releases dopamine every time you inhale to ensue in an epidemic laughter or is it because your muscles contract in and out to make your abdominal muscles ache with pain?


Regardless, laughter makes the world better and laughter, can indeed cure everything.
The reason why people laugh is because of a punch line. Whether if it is a knock, knock joke or a PG-13 joke, the punch line is the key to every joke.

People who mess up the punch line, is basically ruining the whole joke.
