This is the CHANNEL ART on my YouTube Channel Page. Somehow Google has broken me. My pen name, my nom de plume, my handle was MAXSKYFAN and to the world on YouTube that is who I was. But I can no longer be in the shadows now that Google has split my REAL NAME and my HANDLE into two different CHANNELS. Since I have been given this new channel with my REAL NAME on it I fitted it with new CHANNEL ART. This image is what you would see if you were viewing the channel from your TV set. From your computer and cell phone the whole image is not visable. FOLLOW THIS LINK TO THE CHANNEL ITSELF

What happen to 2012? I guess nothing important was going on during that year. Well I added some more time on to this site and lets seem what I can add before things start to circle the drain. I been having the hardest time adding anything to the site because of some technical issues and it has occurred to me that I don't have a camera. I will be needing one if I am going to be adding any photos. And I see that I never got along to uploading all the pictures to Laura's wedding and I don't know if I still have the flash drive with the photos.

Here is something I just added. It is Stephen wishing me a Happy Birthday. The message was saved on my phone until the phone company deleted it. Luckily I saved it before this little sound clip was lost to time... Happy Birthday Paul!
