Not nice to mess w/ Mother Nature or: who she sent

About Me

this page used to run smooth as silk with backgrounds, fun cursor, & all the videos until myspace had a power outage. We're still trying to figure it out. Age of Technology. If Freud was alive today he'd need a good shrink just to deal with his own computer. LOL. Once you're in it may take a minute to log off - but hang in there, it works. Let's Begin. Huh could write a book and 2 movies on all this - at this point. "Doorways of Time" by richard renda. Unbelievable. but Real. Know this - if you write me i will write you back. You are not in this World alone. I am pretty basic. I like nice people. Anyone who knows me knows I am not fond at all of liars, fakes, people that play games, or people who want to hurt other people. The material on this profile will always be Classic ... Historical ... Meanful ... AND ... best of all: TIMELESS. IF YOU ARE TALENTED, SINCERE, OR GOOD HEARTED ... YOU BELONG HERE. I have to START with this Video right at the top. To me True Life is spoken in moving images. Something very important here. This is a "Beautiful Life." I guess that really shows how I view life and what I think about it. I think overall it is a Beautiful Life, even though sometimes it is very hard and sometimes not fair at all. Oh that is so True. And with all things ... I always give credit where credit is due. Call it a "habit" - more courtesy. This is Fisher. While making her video in The Big Gotham, New York City, we were invited to shoot the happening and create a little editorial presentation. This is how it turned out. Iris Records is the label Fisher is on. "Beautiful Life" is an amazing song with tons of meaning and Great feeling. The video is shot on the west side of Manhattan on the Hudson River by Richard Renda courtesy of Totally Cool ®, Kathy Fisher, Pam Workman, and Iris records. Enjoy. I hope you get something out of this. And i hope it touches you. From the Heart. more to say. richard --
Get this video and more at MySpace.comNow About Me -- There is so much to tell. You ask the questions. And I'll answer what i can. I am the Editorial Director on a number of great projects. I come out of the Magazine World, Entertainment, and Fashion Industry and am also a Professional Fashion Stylist - streetwear to high end fashions. (Many of my Mentors are the most amazing editors in the world - top of the list being Anna Wintour, Editor-In-Chief of American Vogue. Through all Time she presents The Supper of the Lamb. talk about Revelation.) As I say when it comes to the Worlds of Judgement: "If you can't stand the Heat -- get out of the kitchen." I am fondly known as "Front and Center" of The New York International Press Corps", easily found twice a year with the Family of the Elite Press Corps at New York Fashion Week. Once known as Olympus Fashion Week, now again known as - Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. But you can find us anywhere and almost everywhere. I'm a professional videographer, (fly on the wall) video journalist, non-linear computer editor, writer, photo editor, independent producer, and mentor to many trying to find themselves. Aside from that I am the Executive Producer of a TV show and Editorial Project which has aired in Manhattan on Time Warner Cable TV every week for over 10 years. Also created my (federally registered international) TRADEMARK "Totally Cool ®" in early 1994, long before anyone cared about what Totally Cool was - beyond some somple cliche. This is at The Universe level. Are you Alive ? That is what it is about. Totally Cool ® is the only project in the whole World that has - a COMMON denominator - with every human being on the planet and -- every living thing in the Universe. Think about it ... EVERYONE has something that is "Totally Cool" to them. Totally Cool ® as a TV Show and philosophy includes the Original ... Reality TV ... "Takes You There" series, "BROADcast NEWS" (Always Good News All The Times), "Talks", "Controversey", "Rocks", "Soundtrack History", "Women with Opinions", and a number of other original Totally Cool ® platforms. My personal copyline began the trend: "And -- The Good News is ..." Also coined the phrase "Always Good News All The Time." "The Heart of the BIG Gotham." "From the mouth of New York." "The Official Editorial Authority." "The Soul of the City." And "The City of the World." Along with others. oh but my lastest and one of my favs is ... "The City of a Million Smiles." The TV show has been the forerunner of major innovation influencing Network and Cable broadcasters Nationwide and Globally. So here ... This is the scratchboard. The playground so to speak. A quiet corner tucked away in Space. Well, maybe not so quiet. Turn the volume UP loud ! This is the where things are looked at and perfected for the Friends Community. As History documents: we were all here. "MySpace -- The Network That Grows." This presentation you have now entered is meant soley to enhance your experience on MySpace and broaden the horizons of your own life. As technology gets better through the Future we will get better too. I hope you have fun with all that is brought to you here. None of the videos or any editorial material presented may be used for commerical or promotional use -- in any way. Thank you very much. Like I said: it is all for you. Sit back and relax with it -- and make YOUR Friends Network at MySpace.com all that much more interesting. As we go forward great Fashion Videos will be included. Because so many times the talent of each and every hard working Model gets overlooked. If you see something with a musical talent featured - all that is asked is that you be supportive of the gifts Life has to offer and be supportive of the talent of these hard working human beings. Thanks. The videos are 30 fps. If any video is bumpy at first ... Hint: load into machine and watch once. Then play again for smoother results. Or hit play, then hit stop, let the grey bar fully load. at that point the video should run smooth. Or restart your machine and then watch. Sometimes you have to -clear- your memory : ) If the video is still bumpy then the myspace people are probably fixing something. This whole video - moving images thing - is new to them too. The birth of Technology in its infancy. So be a little forgiving as it will get better all the time. Most of these clips featured here are pretty perfect in quality. Only one thing more to say: Enjoy it BIGTIME !!! I want to start this column with something that is ... off the wall. So guess i should start with something that is: off the wall ... literally ! This video is "Ramps & Amps." High flying ! And it is real. At this "Ramps and Amps" event it is the FIRST and only time a 900 degree spin on a Skateboard was accomplished in New York State. The video includes Tony C. and The Truth "Ball & Chain" at the New York City South Street Seaport and some Jeremy Scott Fashion Acrobatic Cheerleaders from New York Fashion Week. Special Thanks to People's Revolution PR - Kelly Cutrone and to Meredith and everyone at Bragman Nyman Cafarelli PR. Video edit and camera work by Richard Renda - "Totally Cool ®." If you do a download, credit me please "Richard - Totally Cool ®." Everything is always (well mostly) shot "Handheld", without a tripod. So be kind and forgiving. NOW Enjoy the Ride ! One other thing - Totally Cool ® does not complete with anyone, not in the Industry or in the Universe. Beyond that. We are there to Compliment and coument what is Totally Cool ®. To honor all the good things in Life. Have fun. This is Off The Wall .....
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Oh, do you really want to know About Me -- You wouldn't believe me if i told you. The Truth about Me ?!! The Truth is Stranger than Fiction. As they say. It's "Unbelievable !!!"
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... Okay. I guess this goes here. This is something i was not going to put up here. Evenso, people are getting something out it -- getting a lot out of it. So it has to come here instead of just sitting in the MySpace public video library. You might say it is personal - as much for you as it is for me. Enjoy it. Totally Cool ®: Talks ... live ... What about "Respect ?!!" Yeah, moms and dads - wake up. Don't be insulted. Just ... wake up.

Many "Special Thanks" to The Band and to Denny and the City of New York (of course). Little Feat is available on itunes. On Hot Tomato Records. If you want you can also do MySpace video search "Little Feat" - find Dixie Chicken where guitar playing becomes real guitars playing and you find a Little interview. More to come. Hey - Enjoy this ... it is a lot of Fun !!!
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Now in General, as a human being. Let's see. Interests ??? Hummm. Actually, I am interested in Everything ! I mean Everything !!! Since we are in Space, in MySpace - we should start with exactly that: inner Space. This may be a bit intellectual compared to the wilder stuff here on page. But hey a little intellect won't hurt anyone. This is very exclusive to me. Many "Thanks" goes out to an Astronaut friend Marsha Ivins and everyone at NASA.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... let's see if we can squeeze this in here. As you gain wisdom you learn Life is all about Balance. Sometimes it is the little things we come upon that make us go "Oh wow !"
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Clothes are cool. But love it when ya mix clothes with that profound thing called "Style." That is where you achieve the height of ... The Word ... "Fashion." To be looking Good. Something about taking a chance in Life. Like an -- American Gambler.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Now in the Totally Cool ® department these two gentlemen are known as and are part of the best of -- The Downtown Elite: Family. The Big Gotham designers, the original: Heatherette. It is all about the Talent. And the Art.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... But also in the clothes department there is Swimwear -- doesn't swimwear count as clothes ? I guess it depends on how much you see : )
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... For me, I like to keep things simple -- old and new. I like to have a system. Makes choices easier. Usually dressed in dry cleaned Black Jeans, works well. And it starts from there. (But a nice pair of "Replay" Blue Jeans always have a good feel to them too.) As far as for Black Tie ... when it is necessary, ya do it.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Some sports are okay ... moreso when the challenge is there. Like Freddy Kruger at the New York City - Mastercraft Event. Jumps 225 feet on a pair of Waterskies in the old World's Fair grounds with City buildings towering behind.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Or if you're really hot you can cool out and catch a wave. Even grab some Billabong Style while on a wave watching pretty girls in a Gottex Bathing Suit.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Also Sports can be more than what you really think it is. Even something good for the whole family. When you get rolling along. A Journey to Central Park would show you what I mean. The Central Park Skaters.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... would have to say I like to Dance too. Ya get good exercise that way also. Circulate. That's the idea.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... Most of all I like things that are hard to find -- like good people. And love a little party every now and then.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is ........ Real. Okay let's see if I can tell this story in moving images. Who I'd Like To Meet ? Maybe we should start with ... The Dangerous Type. The Dangerous Type if they are loving - that could be cool.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... I don't think I would mind hanging with the Stones. MICK ... do me a favor already - call Tony Bennett ... he wants to do lunch with you. Well he did give you your first Award .... Remember ? So Mick baby - give Tony Bennett a call before he drops dead and it's too late. Thanks. Keith - you said you'd give Mick the message. Should I psychically transmit it or just have it hand delievered. Personally, I like the former more than the latter. hehe ...
Get this video and more at MySpace.com-- Well when ya get right down to it, I'd like to meet Everybody. In this world and throughout the whole Universe ... through all of time. Because ... We're Having A Party ! You find us ... in the City of The World. In the City with a Million Smiles. The Manhattans.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com-- Okay ... who else would I'd like to meet ??? I like to meet every one of the Victoria's Secret models personally, Victoria's Secret Angels -- not just the ones I know ... but every one and to give each and every one a Big Big Hug ... just to say "Thank You" for taking the trip into this world with me. What -- do you think I am going to come out into this world on this Earth and not bring Angels with me ??? Think again. Someone said, "Maybe we'll meet again in another Lifetime." My answer to that was: "Well, Guess what ? This is: another Lifetime !!!" Until we meet again. So it was said. So it was done. Life is proving a point. And one point is -- You have to believe in Angels. Here is the Proof they exist. And that they are Real. That's what Victoria's "Secret" is : ) That Angels are REAL.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... I guess I like all types of people. Bingo ! Bingo ... Brothers. So I would even "Walk with a Zombie." I guess sometimes we all feel like a Zombie now and then.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... All About the SIGNS. And lots of fun Trouble. See it to the End. "It is time we -- Return To Innocence. That would be an Enigma.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... That was for you : ) ... Good Friends. Good Friends are rare and hard to find.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com... now do you feel you know me -- (from this lifetime or another). the journey is always Amazing and always more Fun. sent with love. Stay Tuned : )

Music:

There are two not mentioned only one would know. With Silence there is Delerium. Hence there is the calling. Sarah Brightman. In the overall I like a bit of every type of music -- everything. I think. Well, almost everything. Let's See ... am a Big Fan of Steven Tyler and Aerosmith on the Columbia / Sony label. Sweet emotion. In the future we will learn a little something about how to -- Walk This Way. For now would rather do somethin' about Falling in Love.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com -- Like Buckwheat Zydeco. The New Orleans thing. It's .... Hard To Stop.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com -- It is not about the gossip ... It is about the Talent. Love Michael Jackson tunes on Sony Entertainment. A long long History to be noted and not to be forgotten. Gave people a lot of good times and gooves to move to.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com -- Once and a while a Broadway tune can be cool ... if it is really good.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... And we can't forget our roots and history that stems from the greats like The Beatles from Columbia Records.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... Also personally, I do like some things that have a lot of feeling and mean something. Like Award Winning vocalist Baby Jane Dexter and Ross Patterson on the piano live in New York City at Helen's West Village hideaway room.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... And of course I do like things that are really HOT !!! Like CC Music Factory from the Red Hot + Dance Collection on Arista Records which donates all the proceeds to AmFar and AIDS Research. This hot stuff is Dedicated to the Magic Dancer.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com -- In short it is all about: The Call of the Wild. Bingo ... Brothers !!!!
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... Oh. And I always like a little rap. If the chit chat is good. Who's That Girl ?!! "And in the beginning" ... according to the biblical thing - her name is -- "Eve."
Get this video and more at MySpace.com -- Of Course ... I rotate and change my taste from time to time. So what can I say ? Only one thing ........ STAY TUNES !!!!!!!!!!!! If you download any of the works seen here please credit: "courtesy of Richard Renda / Totally Cool ®." Edits and live camera by Richard Renda a/k/a Totally Cool ® ... The Original Totally Cool ® : )

Movies:

Action, Sci-Fi, and things with heart or that are fun. Everything on a really Big Big Screen.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... All about the wonderful gifts Life has given. So in the Movies department -- it includes many.

Television:

Watching the politicians, and their friends get rich, waste time, play -- the Act Of Attrition, show MASSIVE Hubris, and mislead the peoples and public with every step and with every sentence that includes "I BELIEVE" ... this or that. Oh, and stuff that makes people laugh (guess that's the same thing, kinda). I don't personally watch a lot of TV unless it is cable or a good video. But must say "Deal or No Deal" ... it's pretty intense. Maybe when it's No Deal it's just plain Tense. As for TV -- it's kind of like a circus. Whatever turns you on. Or whatever you turn on. Something like that. Something to watch before you Crash !
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... Everybody's a Critic. What the world has become. The world of Critic's Corner.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com -- Okay onward ... there has to be some drama in Life. Here is the Drama in the Hall -- Kimberly Seeherman and Richard Renda.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... It is not all about illusion -- it is about the real. Mostly it is about Prophecy. That is what we see here.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com

Books:

History and Spritual Things. Jules Verne.

Heroes:

Honest People. They are the real heroes. Oh and the videographer or photographer who preserves life and brings it to you straight. That is another one of my heroes. Judge Joe Brown said it best: "There it is."
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... And one more true hero was a little guy named: Mr. Fred. "The Fred MOnster." He taught people a lot of things. And he had a Big BIG Heart. He taught -- something about: real love. The ..... What is inside of you. That is what makes a hero.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com -- This is the special presentation zone. Because myself and a friend out there in the middle of America realized this very exclusive Pink Floyd editorial story was not anywhere on page it is being place here -- for your enjoyment. The following laser light show was the 1st and only time in all History where there was a laser light show on the Empire State Building in -- New York City. It was the celebration of the release of the Pink Floyd CD "Pulse" on Sony Records. This video and edit is from ... TC Selects 1, an "exclusive" editorial presentation from the Manhattan TV Show: Totally Cool. The "special thanks" goes out to Pink Floyd, Sony Records, Sony Entertainment, Laurie Schechter, and Richard Renda a/k/a Totally Cool ®.
Get this video and more at MySpace.com ... okay ... See Ya -- next time !!! xoxox.
