Winslow it

I was a kid in the nineties and police academy movies were very popular back then. They started out the 80s but made loads of sequels throughout the decade and into the 90s and the free TV stations continued to show the movies long after the movies were released.

In police academy, there was a man called Lorell Jones played by Michael Winslow. He was a student officer that could make many sound effects with his mouth. I think the actor was actually able to make those sounds for real. Anyway, he would make sounds as a prank to make people think there is something wrong with a machine they are using or to make them think something was happening. He would also make those sounds for the sake of it.

There is a little bit of Winslow in me because I make sound effects when cars overtake me while I am driving at the maximum speed limit or when it is not safe. I won't say what the sound effect is though. Making sound effects with your mouth can help with unwanted anger.

Comfort in sound

I am walking towards a better life for me and my wife. I hope to make something good and make progress in my life.

When I was a young boy I would play the on my Sega mega drive a lot. I played super hang on, It had a beautiful sound track.  Later in life I played Zelda and the twilight princess on my Nintendo Wii. That game made a huge impression on me because it was so beautiful on many levels.

One of the things that made the game so special was the sounds. There were hundreds of sound affects. When you obtained something special or when you were fighting the demons in dog form and so on.

The sounds of the game live on in me. They are of comfort on so many levels. The most important thing in life is to be happy.

I want to be happy. I am grateful for a chance to be.
