A Couple Killin’ It Vids for Friday!
Dec 17th
I received a couple of hilarious and extra killin’ it video posts on my facebook page this week….so good I had to post them up on pc.com as well. The first one is a la Mr. Kyle Karthauser from somewhere over in Germany: a brilliantly snappy explanation of the mullet lifestyle by Minnesota Viking’s own mullet sporting big man Jared Allen. Jared states something that I have always said emphatically “You don’t just move around something. You move through it!” He also affirms that in order to kill it, you need to be taken seriously but still be able to parrty with two R’s!
The video below is from Mr. John Wolfe from Big Sur, California. The video features a happy drunk making probably the best (temporary) escape from the police that I’ve ever seen. He even shakes their hand (literally) before he shakes them! Enjoy! And come back on Monday to view the first ever original Killin’ It with Paul Crik dance music video. Train Yourself! KI!
And last but not least, an oldie but goodie from yours truly!
In The Eyes of The Mona Lisa: Da Vinci Predicted “Wikileaks, 2012″…Plus, New KI! Vid: HYGIENE OVERKILL
Dec 14th
Italian art experts have made a surprising discovery inside the painted eyeballs of Leonardo da Vinci’s 500 year old masterpiece, “The Mona Lisa.” Some tiny letters and numbers. They think this encryption may be the name and birthdate of the mysterious half-smiling woman who was “Mona.” The question of her identity has stood as one of art’s most enduring mysteries, and has elevated the status of the unnamed woman in the painting to something of a Goddess. So then, if we confirm who she is, will we still be as fascinated with the painting? Hard to say, but I doubt anyone will argue with me that a secret has a powerful effect. Whether on the international stage or in your own life, exactly how, when, and how much to tell people can be the difference between killin’ it and not killin’ it. Like anything, managing strategic secret telling takes practice and discipline. Here’s an exercise to build your muscles – when your emotions want you to let information out, keep your mouth closed. When fear is inducing you to keep quiet, then take to the airwaves! Killin’ it!

Similar to Nostradamus' uncanny futuristic predictions, Da Vinci appears to have written the word "wikileaks" inside of Mona's left Iris
Is This Cowboy Killin’ It or Not?-Tashard Choice Asks For Michael Vick’s Autograph After Tonight’s Game
Dec 13th
I caught this moment on TV after tonight’s Eagles-Cowboys game. Tashard Choice gets Michael Vick to autograph his glove. After it happened the twitterverse started blowing up with people coming down on Tashard Choice. People are saying he sells autographed gloves for a charity he founded. Some are saying it’s a christmas present for a family member. Many seem to think the gesture is just plain weak. But isn’t there a way in which this might also be very killin’ it? What do you think?

Mike Tyson, A Beer Drinking Bison, and a new KI! vid: When To Let The Storm In
Dec 9th
Mike Tyson never ceases to astound. Whatever your take on him may be, he gets a lifetime Killin’ It badge from me. He could take anyone down in the ring with his fierce punches, but he can also disarm opponents, and even aggressive interviewers like Larry King, simply be being brutally straightforward and honest. Mike is like the opposite of today’s typical politician. He won’t hide behind calculated, shadowy responses. Here, in this killin’ it exchange that occurred between himself and King a few night’s ago on Larry’s show, Mike explains to Larry why he got the tattoo on his face. I was rolling on the floor when Larry asks him if it hurt when he got it, describing the tattooing procedure as “they’re taking a needle….and rubbing it into your head!” Have a look and a laugh for yourself.
Also, the story about a Canadian man and his beer drinking bison that he loads up in his car and takes to the bar is too killin’ it not to include. I swear that one day I’m gonna get my own baby bison and do the same!
Mike Tyson's honesty is as fierce as his punches
Master Your Own Home-Made Instrument and Kill It Massively!
Dec 6th
Happy Killin’ It Monday to everyone!
It’s always Killin’ It whenever someone build their own musical instrument and then plays it. I’ve seen people make one string guitars with cheap packing twine. I’ve seen drums made out of empty yogurt containers, whistles made from sticks. But every now and then you run into someone who is truly raising the bar on the whole endeavor, like this guy. He’s built what is obviously a fairly sophisticated drum-like organ-ish instrument using a dense entangling of PVC pipes. He’s even painted the object beautifully to match his school colors (LMU). it’s quite a thing to look at. But beyond that, the instrument produces a truly interesting, harmonic original sound. And man can he play it well! He plays it in such a masterful way that, well, the only way to describe it completely is to say that he kills it massively! Watch and prepare to have your mind blown.
Amazing homemade instrument made from PVC pipes!
Is Wikileaks.org Killin’ It or Not? What Are Your Thoughts? Plus…Awesome New KI! Vid: FULL FORCE ATTITUDE.
Dec 3rd
The Wikileaks saga is blowing my mind these past few days! One man – Julian Assange - has put the U.S. Government in an uncomfortably tight spot. Thanks (or no thanks) to the Internet, it would seem that there’s no real way to prevent a lot of potentially damaging top secret information from getting out and staying out? Is this good or bad for the world? I really don’t know, though I can’t help but appreciate the Full Force impact of what Julian Assange has done. Also, the news of Assange being in hiding, and being sought after for rape and molestation charges completely unrelated to the Wilileaks scandal, well, it all just smacks of a conspiratorial thriller, right? Except this is real life! I never cease to be amazed by how truth REALLY is stranger and more exciting than fiction. What do you think about wikileaks? Please kill it and let us know!

Brand New Killin' It with Paul Crik T-Shirts!
Last week a shop owner in western Pennsylvania sold himself a winning lottery ticket worth $1.8 million dollars. This story creates a fantastic metaphor for how mysterious forces like fate and luck can be taken into our own hands. The magic of this story reminds me of an individual named Bryan Berg who makes incredible replicas of famous buildings out of free-standing stacked cards. In a very impressive feat several years ago, he used 22,000 playing cards to recreate the Rhode Island State House over the course of three days. Before propping together his first two cards, Berg already had the entire building mapped out in his head. The resulting structure was astonishing, complete with open windows and a perfect round dome – all made of cards. So amazing, in fact, that people expressed the desire to knock over Berg’s seemingly miraculous creation just to prove to themselves that what they saw before them was indeed supported by only the cards and nothing else. To Berg it’s no miracle. He wisely suggests that if we play around with ideas long enough we’ll arrive at solutions to even the most seemingly unsolvable problems – this could include finding a cure for cancer or perhaps even understanding the mysterious workings of luck and fate. In other words, we can’t begin to comprehend the possibilities that are out there until we begin-quite seriously- to play around. That’s killin’ it!
69 Year Old Superstar DJ Ruth Flowers is Killin’ It All Over Europe…Plus, New KI Vid!: Paul on Snailmail vs. Email
Nov 20th
I was recently learned about DJ Ruth Flowers, a 69 year British lady who is a popular DJ at some of the hottest clubs in Europe. Watching her spin at the club is beyond inspiring. Decked out in gem-covered headphones, spiky gray hair, and flashy silk jackets, Flowers’ appearance and unexpected energy makes her seem like some kind of bizarre character from a science fiction story. When we see people in the sunset years, we expect them to be in rocking chairs, talking about their health problems, and how the youth have now all gone bad. So to see someone defying all these stereotypes, and not just defying them, but blasting them to oblivion, showing us that you can continue to take on new lives, activities, identities at any stage of your life; that you can even be at the center of the hippest youth-driven music world…sorta like a female Wizard of Oz. That’s really Killin’ It! Watch the videos below and be amazed.

Castles Made of Humans!…Plus, A Few Important Words About Modern Digital Life.
Nov 17th
This is quite simply one of the most Killin’ It human events I’ve ever seen. The images are breathtaking, and if you take the time to watch the whole vid, you will see these tiny kids scaling up the other people on the towers, taking their light bodies to the top of the human castles (not to mention their artful descents). Not only do these children have uncanny physical skills for their age, but they also appear to have not a shred of the fear that any normal human being would have if they were climbing up something so high and unstable. It’s hard to believe that I’ve never before heard of this strange Catalan festival, but it’s not an understatement to say that the sites here are sublime. The footage of the failed attempts, watching a mass of human beings crumble to the ground together, on top of each other, almost like falling water. Well, you get the picture. The Town of Tarragona and it’s residents get a huge Killin’ It medal and a gold key to my heart!

In the city of Tarragona, Spain, Castellers gather every two years to see who can build the highest, most intricate human castles. This uniquely Catalan tradition requires astonishing strength, finesse, and balance. Not to mention courage.
Cat vs. Gator! The Cat Kills It!…Plus, Paul on the big T-word: TRUST
Nov 16th
I love it so much when awesome things happen that defy norms and expectations. Check out this Killin’ It video that my FB friend Randell Moss posted up the other day. Anyone taking bets would have certainly put the odds on the gator, no question. But remember…being confident and fearless is more important then being prepared because fearlessness is surprising and surprising-ness is potent with a capital P. Just ask these gators, This little kitty is Killin’ It!
