All of 2009’s cinematic achievements condensed into 7 minutes!

All of 2009’s cinematic achievements condensed into 7 minutes. Brilliant!

**
How many movies did you get out to the multiplexes to see this year? Five? Ten? 50? No matter what your tally is, we’re betting it’s somewhere south of 342. That’s the number of films that a YouTube user named Kees van Dijkhuizen has compiled into the following seven-minute video. Your friendly Vulture editors try not to pepper our posts with too many superlatives, but believe us when we say that this is a pretty spectacular piece of editing work. And it even includes Gentlemen Broncos!

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family, both business and personal, everywhere in the world. Thank you for being in my life, regardless how big or small our connection, relationship, or influence on each other’s lives; I appreciate you.

Giving is the greatest gift of friendship. And, friendship is the greatest gift. Thank you for being you!

“Do Something For Someone Today, With The KNOWING That There Is No Possible Way For Them To Repay You”

This happens to be one of my favorite quotes, by one of my favorite people, John Jackson. In this spirit of Christmas and out of the deepest appreciation for all of my friends and family this holiday season, I felt led to share this with you today.

I got a series of emails over the last few weeks from a woman in Jamaica that I quite frankly blew off. Then last week Lena emailed me on behalf of this woman as well, and not unlike most of the zillion email I get every day from people asking for all kinds of things, I blew that off too.

Anyways, it was 5:30 this morning, I was up most of the night with Miki and could not sleep. I decided to clean out my inbox and I came across yet another email from this lady. This one really stuck with me. I am not sure if it was the sincerity of the request, or just the pure guts of a mom to ask me pay for a semester of some kids college, not sure. Regardless, the quote above started ringing in my ears.

My heart and my gut are telling me that the right this to do here is to see if there is anyone else who feels the same way, and if to led, also contribute. It is Christmas and I can’t think of anything that would be more in the spirit of giving than to pass the hat and make sure Jessica is enrolled in classes come the first week of Jan.

My goal is to wire all $18,384.26 to Wheaton TODAY. I am calling on you guys cuz I know you can help me make it happen. Regardless, Jamie and I are prepared to to what ever it takes to make this happen.

Hi Jay,

It was nice seeing you in Vegas, even if it was for a very brief moment as we took the one of many photos.

I am the one who told you I am from Jamaica. I have been with PRO over a year now and admire the way you have built this incredible community of entrepreneurs! I love being a part of it!!

The Jamaican dollar is in a bad way… JAD$89 to USD$1 so when I came in it was on a shoe string, but Lena Bjorna, my mentor will tell you I am determined to get to the top!

I have a 19 yr old daughter, Jessica who by the grace of God and that alone attended Milton Academy boarding school in Boston for 2 yrs on a FULL scholarship and now is in her second year at Wheaton College in Illinois. Her first semester was sponsored by a Christian couple (God bless them) and then they lost their money (all of it) in an investment scheme gone sour!

To my amazement the college showed her compassion and gave her the second semester (all expenses paid!). At the beginning of this year I still wasn’t able to pay and they did it again!!! Now I am faced with a new semester on the horizon… USD$18,000 due on the 15th Dec!! (They say because of the economic fall out they are unable to do it this time)

This may seem strange…that I would come to you with this…I asked Lena if PRO had any organization that helped kids to fund college…she said she didn’t know, I should go to JayKubassek.com I did and then I came here. I really believe in what I am doing Jay, as you did.

Until then…I just wondered if you had ANY organization that could help me to get my brilliant child back into college.

PS: She doesn’t qualify for US financial aid as she is Jamaican. The banks here won’t lend me the $ as I don’t have a “steady” income YET! I also have a 12 yr old daughter and a 6 yr old son.

Please advise me if there is ANY thing that can be done.

I know how busy you are and how blessed I am if you found the time just to read this.

God bless you Jay…and thank you for giving my life focus and purpose. I am grateful to God that He showed me this company!!

My daughter:

Jessica Phillibert (19 yrs)
Wheaton College
501 College Ave
Wheaton
Illinois 60187
(630)752-5000 (school)

In her second year of a Business Major.

Financing:

  • Sponsored in full 1st year semester 1
  • Scholarships from school for the last 2 semesters
  • School has no funds available this year (economy)

Melanie Phillibert

The deadline for the next semester was Dec 15, but in faith I asked for AND GOT an extension until Jan 1, 2010!

The balance due is USD$18,384.26 (for the next semester) The gentleman in the international students accounts division that I communicate with is Mr. Rodney Buikema: email: Rodney.Buikema@wheaton.edu

Sincerely,
Melanie Phillibert
