Here's the trailer and poster for the movie 'Cross.' <strong>Snake</strong> <strong>Blocker</strong>’s good friend Carl “Dragon”<br />

Van Meter worked on this film. Carl used to teach and train at <strong>Blocker</strong> Academy of Martial Arts<br />

in Rolling Hills Estates, California. He played the vigilante in the mask going through the film<br />

beating up drug dealers and gang bangers (always a good time). Carl did the stunt work and<br />

fight choreography for this film.<br />

In Memory of Evie Mali (<strong>Snake</strong> <strong>Blocker</strong>’s godchild)<br />

the mirror and feel nothing but self-loathing that there is nothing I can do to change the past. The<br />

reality that there is no "retry" button, no going back is maddening.<br />

To the right of my desk on a shelf is a little white box. It contains a paper with a hand print<br />

and a footprint, a little pink cap, a lock of hair and a little pink blanket. On Flickr (photo website)<br />

I have some pictures. I also have a 5 minute video and memories of 8 days with her. This is<br />

what we have of Evie Mali for a lifetime.<br />

There is however, one more thing we have that never fades no matter how tough things get:
