The President and Me
I am feuding with President Obama.
His unintended gaff to Jay Leno comparing his bowling abilities to those of a Special Olympian has set off minor outrage in these parts.
As loyal readers know, my sister, Mary Beth- here with my dad, won a silver medal at the 2003 Special Olympic World Games in Dublin. I made a film about it and growing up with a special needs family member called "what's two+three?" Click on the link on the right and you can see more.
So when I heard about the President on Leno I jumped into action with the goal to get Mary Beth and the film to the White House to bowl against the President and to screen the film for him.
By Saturday morning my sister was on the front page of the Quad City Times Newspaper (where she and my parents live). That night she was the lead on the 10pm news- showing a clip of my film right after Obama's misspeak. A press release went to the Tonight Show- trying to get Mary Beth to the White House to bowl against the president and have Jay Leno finish what he began. Through other connections we got the film to top Obama aids in the White House. I contacted the Shrivers and the Special Olympics in D.C.
It's rare when you get a p.r. shot like this and I did whatever I could to capitalize. Coincidently, I have just begun work on the next Special Olympics film- the 2011 World Games are in Athens, Greece. I think having President Obama's endorsement would be a great way to raise some development funds.
Here are links to the article and Mary Beth's TV appearance- best seen on a PC with Internet Explorer as your browser. Scroll down to the March 21 10pm newscast. She is the lead story.

Hi Peter,
Sorry for the unorthodox form of correspondence, but your flashpoint e-mail is giving me trouble. My name is Nicholas Chirico. You had me for a p2 class two years ago. I understand it has been some time since we have spoken. I remember you telling me once a student always a student and, in that, you would like to see more of my work.
I was never a creditable or productive student of yours and I regret that so very much. But I am writing because I am now laying to rest whatever it was I was rebeling agianst.
I am still dreaming of an ww1 airplane picture (here is a link to some test footage i shot a little bit ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC5A3XGEFYg ) The picture will be a short, shot on on HD (hopefully not HDV) and it subtext deals with PTSD in returning veterans and how it ruins their relationships. I would e-mail the script but this e-mail medium pervents me from sending attachments. Is there anyway , if you even have the time or the care, I could e-mail it to you? It is a long time coming.
I have a producer but my concern is A. He doesnt come off as a multi tasker B. He isnt on the same level of intensity as I am on. But I think thats okay. I a meeting with a storyboard artist today to help get things moving even further.
The reason why I am writing i simple. I am really not sure what it is I need to do to make this happen at this stage.
Thank you for your time in reading this, and I trust all is well.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Chirico
Nick,

Peter, Why haven't your written since march. Please post your thoughts again and tap me on my shoulder in BlogCatalog's Shout Box.
I am sorry the comment was made and I do not think he said it to be mean. I do not think he is that way. Let us do our best to forgive him.
What happened after that? Did Mary Beth get to TWH? Sending her hugs from across the big pond. Cheers.
