Best of the Best Part 1


All from my hospital ward, a sweded version of Top Gun - possibly the campest movie in history- but thoroughly enjoyable. Anyway here's my tribute- I was receiving treatment for leukaemia and living in hospital and this distracted from the pain a little. All edited on a powerbook G4 (it took ages) and shot with the props available (note oxygen mask) Continued in Part 2

Ben and James - Our Goofy Goobers


Ben was inspired by the videos of miltmerm to create this video. Ben enlisted his twin brother James to assist with the performance. Ben wanted to show the world that receiving chemotherapy is more than just being hooked up to an IV pump. Sorry for the audio quality. I was going to record over it with the song, but, I thought the boys singing added to the humor. Ben was diagnosed on September 25th 2006 with osteaosarcoma in his right humerus. He had limb salvage surgery in February 2007. He is doing very well. Ben is almost done with chemotherapy. www.greendrakkoman.com Thank you Miltmerm you have inspired a 7 year old
