Living In The Land of the M.I.A.s

Extremely powerful.

Brought chills down my spine.

Glad you hooked up.

I just bought a Sony HDR-SR1 HDD video camera that records in AVCHD format. Do you know of any free of inexpensive editing software that wil edit AVCHD?

[marquisdejolie]

Sony Vegas 7.0e, Vegas Pro 8, and Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8, Corel's Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus, Pinnacle's Studio Plus 11, Canopus' EDIUS Pro 4.5, and Apple's Final Cut Studio 2 and iMovie '08 video editing software support the AVCHD format.

Love & PEACE

[marquisdejolie]

Thanks.

[Weatherhill1]

Would you like to know something?

I've viewed this several times

(along with other masterpieces you've done)

Yet, each time, I have started to

leave a comment... I find I can't.

You, if I may call you - friend, are Genius.

Hope ALL ggoes well with the trip.

[marquisdejolie]

I AM kinda smart considering the untreated gene pool I came from.

[chevkoch]

That was really moving. My latest Marquis fav. Thanks.

[marquisdejolie]

Thank you. I'll make more. I have a lot of tales of the urban nomad queuing up to be told.

[foxalito]

Don't even know where to begin with that one - brilliant!

[marquisdejolie]

Thanks! It's a true story. Me and that kid didn't get along. The sidewalk wasn't big enough for the two of us.

[foxalito]

what...you and coloursepia?

[marquisdejolie]

Nah. :) Coloursepia did the voiceover but the conflict was between me and the crackhead.

[ArtisticHater]

Another good one. Love your stories. Always makes me think. Keep it deep :)

[marquisdejolie]

But the elephant burps get more views...hundreds of thousands more.

[ArtisticHater]

But it's the quality that keeps us coming back ;)

[marquisdejolie]

:)!

[foxalito]

C'mon though...elephant burping, who wouldn't!

[marquisdejolie]

Perhaps I should cry "Leave the cattle alone!" while lighting cow farts. I'd be an overnight sensation! Jay Leno would call.

[fehquig]

I'll be on the lookout for those troop movements. I think I saw a supply truck crossing the WalMart parking lot...

[marquisdejolie]

Probably was. The enemy is everywhere.

[Illuminatta]

Wow..powerful!

[marquisdejolie]

True story.

[Illuminatta]

But expressed in a very poetic, powerful way. I really enjoy these pieces. Thank you.

[marquisdejolie]

I'll make more. I have hundreds of tales of my urban nomad travels queuing up to be told.

[Illuminatta]

I also think the reader, an Asian female, makes adds to the power of the piece. :) Looking forward to them!

[popsuckits]

Be safe on the train...

[marquisdejolie]

I won't be easily derailed.

;)

[DahliaK]

Ah baby, that was effin' brilliant. A thousand gentle hugs.

[marquisdejolie]

Thank you.

:)

[2redheads]

Very moving, great story. I love this one!

Safe Travels,

2reds

[marquisdejolie]

thanks

:)

[Poetivity]

She has a beautiful voice. Did you write this?

[marquisdejolie]

Yes I did. I've got hundreds of these in my Ironweed series. I've been published here and there, once in a while. Like it? Tough subject, I know.

[Poetivity]

I do like it. The biggest problem is that I don't understand all of the lingo...never having used drugs myself...But I like the ambiguity of it...poetic.

[marquisdejolie]

The lingo you're probably having difficulty with is the military jargon from Vietnam I used allegorically.

[marquisdejolie]

Or maybe it's the "breaking glass" part? Crackheads often use glass pipes for a smoother toke, but they burn so much rock in them that the pipes break.

[Poetivity]

I understood that part. I think it's the military jargon.

[marquisdejolie]

Isn't your son in the military in Iraq?

[Poetivity]

Yes he is. but he hasn't shared any jargon. He and I have differing political views....we avoid politics unless we are in the mood to fight with one another.

[marquisdejolie]

Hoo-aah! Tell him not to get hurt because the V.A. is a viscous lie.

[Poetivity]

I tell him not to get hurt because if he does I will kill him.

[marquisdejolie]

:)!

[rextangle]

Another great story, very real! But, uh... do you have a sore throat? lol

[marquisdejolie]

Heh heh.You know who does my high pitch voiceovers.
