Hi Everyone, I want to take a minute to shed some light on the contest and reasons behind why we're doing this.
First off, this isn't about looks for us. It's about opportunity. If you've read my "pitch" on Vita.mn's voting page, you'll see I really do want to make opportunities for everyone who has helped along the way and making new opportunities for us all. Jatin Setia and Bill Cooper gave me an amazing opportunity to mange operations for this years Twin Cities Film Fest at Showplace ICON Theatres and have already invited me back for next year. Please check out the page and like it if you haven't already. In it's second year, the fest grew tremendously and garnered some high praise from people like Tom Sizemore and Anton Yelchin. We want year three to contend with the likes of Tribecca and Sundance. We're closer than you may think to doing so!
I've also had great opportunities and help from people like Dann Saxton who fronts kill the complex, one of the top bands coming out of LA. 2012 is going to be huge for them. Check out their music. Don't forget to check out local charity The Official UnityShows Group! either.
There's been plenty of others as well, like The Film Society of Minneapolis-St. Paul that have hired me to manage projects. Also big thanks to Amber Anne Love (check out their music) for posting links to our contest and to anyone who has shared this. For no other reason than I love their beer and they've been sponsors of so many twin cities film projects, big thanks to Surly Brewing Company. Get Surly.
The point here is that I would love to find a way to capitalize on this publicity not just for myself but for all of you as well. Wether its making a post and tag on here, or sending me a message and let me know how we can help, please do so. And have fun with it. Thanks Ashley for the link below and Mnpartypix.com too. You know you'll be at the party with us!
And please don't forget to vote. We can't win without all of you. You can vote every day until January 15th. We'll never know where we can take this until we try. Thank you all very much for taking the time to read this, to register, vote and comment on the competition. You're truly appreciated.
Wishing nothing but success, peace, happiness and health in 2012 to all of you and yours.
Sincerely,
Ulysses Awsumb

Order of Life: Faith, Family, Friends
Ladies and Gents,
It's that time of year again when people forget that it's business first nothing personal. So just in case you haven't read my resume. I get paid to do the things I do and I volunteer my time with those I seek and that I owe not the other way around. To many have wasted my valuable time and life is short, live like there is no tomorrow.

The business of entertainment for some is a hustle, for myself it's been a process of trails in error. When you start it's exciting to see a event you put together succeed. We all have needs to pay bills so we have to find a way to continue this dream. I've supported artist in their quest to get signed without being paid I was related to few people who traveled the world on tour. There are things I haven't done, but very few and now it's time to move on. In my own career I've sat in studios with major artist on both a production and creation of new music. My passion I have for the sounds and sights of new places and things to create drives me to move forward. I've worked with models from California to England and even seen a few behind the scene projects of people drive to do one thing winning it all.
I have seen failures, set backs, dealt with sharks, had valuable equipment stolen/break down and started things that only I could finish. Without the time or the resources to make it all happen as fast as I wanted it. Flashing lights are like a magic trick things don't always go as smoothly as it may have looked, but we put our hearts into it.

Talk about it Tuesday with BRM
The World is a stage ...and there are so many bad actors/ess
I thought this past weekend was tough, I'll admit on many stages I've danced, I recited poetry, and once upon a time even sang. When it comes to writing I am not a "English" Major, my weakness is my strength with "Spoken Word" it reflects how I think in how many pieces come together. Take for example my poetry; where my idea goal is "Poetry = Passion" not always my own, but the ability to tell a story everyone can related to emotionally ie Lust, Love, Anger, Confusion, Seduction, Politics, or merely story telling. Women I know often come to me for advice, because I'm the only straight male who hasn't tried to stick my tongue down their throat....lol for some of you nasty minded people that might have another meaning. I'm often admired for my ability to Speak the truth, no matter if someone is ready for it or not, I don't bite my tongue often. If I see it, hear it, or experience it you are bound to read or hear the story one way or another.
Now some actions or reactions of my own I may take more personal then others from first hand experience or someone close to me going threw it, but I keep out names to protect the innocent. In other words the "Fictious"; girl or guy in the story isn't always who you think it might be...pay attention to the story ignore the man behind the curtain. Well in the Land of Oz no one can click their Heels and I magically appear so the story goes on... The World is a stage; places I've been don't yet span the globe, but I'm fortunate to be heard in places I've never even heard of before... One thing we all have in common are our "Passion's" we all go threw "Falling in Love"; "Break Up and Makeup"; "Falling out of Love" and though I can produce a new poem weekly some of those emotions many have long passed. I've just been reminded by someone or some thing in my life or those around me of my own feelings.
I know that it doesn't matter if the person says their "Happily Married, in a Serious Relationship, or Engaged" we all deal with certain emotions in our own time. A friend disclosed to me something I call a "Red Flag" but it was insightful so I'll share it. After several father figures when it came to relationships they were still looking for a "man" who reminded them of their "father". In the same respects I often try to avoid anyone who reminds me of people in my past. Except when I apply this idea to a male point of few; do "I" or other seek out someone who is "parental figure" when we have not discovered myself? Yes, I already know a few female friends who relationship reflected that of their parents either by their choosen mates "habits" or very "nature". Having witnessed and couseled so many "Abused" individuals "mentally" more then "physically". Is this why so many of us make the same mistakes as are mother's/father's whicn in most cases over 60% ended in divorce. Our we trying to repeat the past and make things "right/work"? I understood long time ago I Love my Mom, I just couldn't date a women who reminded me of her "habits"; despite her being the most caring and unselfish person I know. My father is estranged as in we don't hang out or speak often. So I learned how to be a man from mentors and doing the opposite of what I've seen poor men, morally bankrupt do. The World is a Stage who are you trying to "Act" like do you know who?
