Welcome to my online TV Show In 1987, Richard Gaskin, a Queens NY resident, was shot by a friend over a personal dispute. The result would change Richard's life and those around him forever. The bullet severed his spine leaving him unable to walk. This meant that from now on, Richard would be confined to a wheelchair. Richard's well being now depended on his family and friends, all of whom, fortunately for him, were extremely loyal and wanted to be there for him. Richard was never a trouble maker or into the negative things that his surroundings had an abundance of. He was a local DJ, and aspiring artist,who was on the fast track to making a career for himself. He also was becoming proficient in Hung Gar Kung-Fu, which taught him the discipline he needed to succeed. It was in part envy over his accomplishments and chosen life ..,that brought Richard to his fate with some one he trusted. Moving on, Richard would slowly regain his ability to be the artist that he was. As the years went by, it occurred to him that turning his music into a message for young people could encourage them to stay focused and,,follow their dreams, while avoiding the many pitfalls in life.,, In 2005, after doing a tribute song to Christopher Reeve, a hero of his, Richard was invited by the Christopher Reeve Foundation to per.. at the Capitol Building in the company of Dana Reeve, Hillary Clinton, and other senators.,,politicians, many renown doctors. Since then, Richard has been asked to per.. at various venues related to paralysis, and has taken part in round table discussions and gala events with New Jersey's Governor Corzine, and Governor Cody, as well Michael J. Fox,and other celebrities who are fighting for research needed to cure paralysis and other degenerative diseases. In addition to his appearances, Richard has founded an non-profit organization ,,called,the "I Believe Inc". The purpose of the foundation is to promote,,awareness of the research being done and currently needed to help cure the ,,diseases and conditions that affect him, and so many others. This is done by ,,utilizing technology, to make in..ative presentations, and to spread the word ,,via mediums such as audio, video, and the web. This method, in conjunction with ,,live per..ances, will go a long way to getting people involved in such an ,,important cause.

Tea Party: Life imitating art in Nashville


Am I the only one to notice the coincidence that the Tea Party Convention met in Nashville, which is also the title of a 1975 Robert Altman movie about (among other things) an anti-establishment presidential candidate? Hal Phillip Walker, the standard-bearer of the Replacement Party, would have felt at home last weekend in Nashville.
Walker's populist platform included forbidding lawyers f… Continue

The best running shoe may be none at all, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday

I was born in the 60's in the South Bronx, NY. There was no home computer, cell phones, Internet or any wide screen televisions. Pretty much they way we lived then, we still managed to survive. Back then until 1987 when I was paralyzed, I never knew what paralysismeant or how it effects our ability. Even after being paralyzed until 2005, I wasn't involved with spinal cord injury issues. Since 2005 until now, December 2009, about 5 years, I have experienced more greed, discrimina… Continue
