Fly Boy 2012



Fly Boy 2012 by Jimmyjumpnjive

Love this shot because flies do not like to have their pictures taken.  They perceive humans to be a threat to them and they fly away.  Can you imagine that?

Anyway, handsome fly guy here, sporting his summer hue of green.  Eating lots of fly food.

Seems to me sometimes that flies get a bad rap.  That maybe they are not as bad as their whole disease-spreading-pest reputation.  I'm just saying.  If we had to do away with mosquitos or flies, I'd ditch the mosquitos because  'skeeter suck.

Let it Bee


What was the Beatles song, "Let it be," about?

Mary was the name of Paul McCartney's mother.  She died when Paul was 14.  ("Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be ....")  Many people believe the song is about the Virgin Mary but it's actually about Paul's mom.

The song is about a dream Paul had about his mother, who appeared to him at a time of need, ten years after her death.  ("In my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom...")

Stories have circulated the John Lennon hated the religious nature of the song, so arranged to have the track "Maggie May" (about a prostitute) follow the song on the album of the same name.

The working title of the album was "Get Back" and it was completed prior to "Abbey Road," but it remained unreleased.  Producer Phil Spector reworked the album, giving the work it's final name, "Let it Be."  

The phrase itself, let it be, reflected a sense or need to leave things alone.  The band was breaking up and it was time for the lads to get on with their lives, personally and artistically.

Due to release delays, the Beatles were not the first artists to officially release the sing, "Let it Be."  That honor went to Aretha Franklin in an album released about two months prior to the Beatles release.

When Linda McCartney died, the song "Let it Be" was played at her funeral.

One of the best songs ever written.  Peace and love.  Jimmyjumpnjive 2012.

Jimmyjumpnjive is devoted to peace, love and puppies.  An old furry, an ent, an aged hippy freak with nothing but a song of love in his heart.

Lady Bug Swim Lesson (Dumb Dog Trick #282)



I really hope other people enjoy this video and find the peace and joy that was my precious little Red Dog, stunt dog extraordinaire, during his time on Earth.

This is my first dumb dog trick video with Red Dog posthumously.  Soul Brother Red Dog kicking it on the interwebs from beyond the grave.  

I should brag about Red Dog for a bit.  He was the only "pure bred" dog I have ever owned.    He was freaking gorgeous.  Red Dog was first on television as a little handful of a pup in Spokane, Washington, in 2006 or 2007 to promote a regional disc dog event.

The first digital video I ever took of Red involved him barking and attacking our television set.  This video ended up being included as one of the added features in the DVD release of the movie Marley and Me.  Yes, Red was a challenging dog like Marley.  Honestly and truly.  He won a contest for dogs who were professional pains in the ass.

One video of Red in particular -- him attacking our vacuum cleaner -- has been used for a lot of different internet and television contests and stuff.  Recently our Youtube Channel registered total views of over one million. 

It's difficult to imagine what Hippy Dippy Entertainment will do without our little star, Red.  We miss you buddy.  We feel your love in air as we remember you. 

Together we will ride the wind forever.

Red Dog needed an occupation and I decided that he would be an animal comedian.  The Jimmyjumpnjive Youtube Channel was born in December of 2008.  At first it featured Stupid Dog Tricks, which have since evolved into a series known as Dumb Dog Tricks.  

In late 2008 I took an old, cheap laptop and a cheap camera and created a really tripped out video entitled, "I am the Red Wolf."  This video was my first commercial video sale through the Currenttv VCAM program in a campaign known as the Microsoft PC Hookup Campaign.  Red and I got to be on Justintv with Christian Lander and Felicia Day. I believe that Ben Huh was interviewed on one of the other episodes of this show.

The funds from selling the video were used to purchase equipment for Hippy Dippy Entertainment -- a refurbished Canon video camera, a green screen set up, and an iMac.  I made tons of videos for contests.  I made documentaries or bio-mentary videos about places, events and things.  

Soul Buddy lives on through the interwebs.
