One of Deaf artist Matt Daigle’s cartoons is amazing. It is about someone not knowing you are deaf and talking behind you at a gym locker room. The best solution is that a tattooed message on your back. The cartoon is very funny! See below…

For further information, please visit Matt Daigle’s blog: That Deaf Cartoonist. Matt’s cartoons are deaf-related humor and generic humor.

I enjoyed watching this film because it is very funny. The film is about deaf men who challenge each other to tell their worst stories. I never thought of the ending, and I laughed out loud at the ending. I like the ending. The plot is excellent. This short film is 10 minutes long. 

I bought the special edition DVD “Four Deaf Yorkshiremen” includes extra features, and I also got the two glossy photos of the “Four Deaf Yorkshiremen.”

You can buy the DVD, and see “Four Deaf Yorkshiremen” in full quality, just contact Charlie Swinbourne at director.charlie@googlemail.com for more information! The DVD sale is raising money for the second film “The Return of the Four Deaf Yorkshiremen.”

I’m looking forward to watch the second film.

Synopsis: How hard was growing up deaf? In this short film, four old deaf men try to tell the worst story about their childhood - and there’s ten pounds on the table for the ‘winner!’

The film was inspired by the classic “Four Yorkshiremen” sketch made famous by Monty Python, but with a new script for a deaf cast.

I wrote this poem that was 2 years ago, and I decided to dedicate this blog to Keri Wilson.  She was leaving Austin to her hometown Houston due to her new job!

Farewell to My Friend

Farewell, farewell my friend
Remember all the good times
Such happy times together
Oh how much the joy!

Farewell, farewell my friend
Remember even the bad times
We were sad together
No matter how great the pain!

Farewell, farewell my friend
Remember all the good times
We laughed together
Oh how much fun!

Farewell, farewell my friend
Remember even the bad times
We did argue together
No matter how many mistakes!

Farewell, farewell my friend
Remember both of good and bad times
We do share memories
Hope we never forget our past!

Farewell, farewell my friend
What else can I say?
I cannot believe it's time to go
I know deep in my heart we'll see each other again!

TSD Homecoming Pre-Bash 2005

I rented the DVD "Its All Gone Pete Tong", because Deaf Artist Chuck Baird recommended me to watch this film. This movie is about the Deaf DJ Frankie Wilde. Chuck told me that Paul Kaye is the good actor who acted the greatest role of Frankie Wilde in the film, and Paul Kaye is hearing.

Genre: Comedy / Drama

MPAA Rating: Rated R for pervasive drug and alcohol abuse, language and some sexual content/nudity.

Synopsis: Frankie was one of Europes most talented and envied DJs and a main attraction for hedonistic youth each holiday season in Ibiza, Spain.  Everything about Frankies life was over the top: the clubs, the parties, the women and the drugs.  But the years of pounding music and heavy toxins took their toll, eventually leaving Frankie stone deaf.  His fans, record deal, manager, wife and stepson soon disappeared.  The good times gone, Frankie isolated himself in his villa for a year under a pile of self-pity and a mountain of drugs.  Determined to pull himself together, Frankie hired a lip-reading instructor, accepting a new way of life and rediscovering the dance rhythms that had defined him.  His ultimate redemption returned him to the top of the scene with a renewed connection to the almighty beat. And then he disappeared.
