I resampled some video last night. The tape is called The Richard Noble Movie, Too. On that tape is a ten minute parody video I made of Wayne's World. The Super Genius circa 1997 put up a RealPlayer sample on MarkShields.com in 1997. This will serve to replace that. Why'd I make this video? It's from a journal I made in 1993 as a part of a video letter series I was exchanging with my pal Rich. Sadly, I lost touch with him in 1997 when he was just about to get married. His phone number was on a computer that super-died a few weeks after I got there. Smoke coming out of the computer makes it a super-death. Always make backups. Lesson learned. Here's three choices for my ''Wayne's World'' parody for you to choose from. It's not bust-a-gut funny, but I think it's worth at least one viewing. Enjoy!

I've taken it upon myself to change the words to the Thompson Twins' song ''If You Were Here'' so that they represent what we all *thought* they were singing about. If you want to read the words along with the actual song, click here for the MP3 -- do it now cuz I have no idea how long this joker will be able to keep the file there.

If you were here
I'd get to see you
and if you were here
you would believe
but would you suspect
my emotion wondering? yeah,
do not want my heart to miss anymore

The rain water drips
through a crack in the ceiling
and i'll have to spend
my time on repair
But just like the rain
i'll be always falling, yeah
only to rise and fall again
