Uncle Mike Story 4: 20th Anniversary Edition
From the MikeVideo Archives:
"The Uncle Mike Story (Part 4)" from 1989
The video is 11 minutes and 55 seconds long and was remastered in Hi Def, but was created from the original VHS elements.
Part 4 of this archival autobiographical video from 1989 encompasses the years 1977-1986, when I bought my very first VHS videocamera and "became" MikeVideo. This "webisode" covers my employment with FedMart, and it's dissolution, a move from Torrance to Lomita, my niece's correspondence, a trip to Lubbock Texas with my friend Tom, my move to Hermosa Beach, and my purchase of my first videocamera. In this segment, the narration for the most part is videotaped (in 1989, when I was 36). Video starts to replace the photo slideshows from the previous segments. The music track is a mashup of popular songs from the years presented. I didn't have a lot of hair in 1989, but it was a lot darker than it is now!
This video was created 20 years ago as an "introduction" to my niece Cinnamon, my sister's daughter, to her "Uncle Mike", hence the title of the video. It is essentially a complete video autobiography of my life up to that point. I've broken the video up into seven 10-12 minute segments or "websisodes" which I am presenting on my blog.

So how did she like it, then?
Great video of your life Mike! It's amazing how technology keeps changing 8 track tapes, cassette, MP3 flash Memory, CD, Beta, VHS, Video Disks, DVD, Blu-ray ... the only problem every time it changes it cost money to upgrade!
Sounds like an exciting time of your life. I graduated high school in 78 and spent some serious time partying in college. I have some great memories from that time myself. Thanks for sharing yours with us. It is always great to hear your stories.

That's a lot of video footage. You really chronicle your life well.
You really, really documented your life. I don't think I will be as meticulous and patient as you. There are some parts of my life I would prefer to keep private. I don't want people to nitpick my habits and my eccentricities.
I don't think you have any secrets left hidden in those vast vaults. Or are there more surprises for us? Tune in, people.
Mike, we all love you. You always fascinate us with your life stories, photographs and video footages, and you will continue to amaze more people in the years to come.
HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY!! :sunny: :fun: :wave: :eprop:
God bless you, Michael F. Nyiri!
