James "Jim" Samuel Morris, Jr. (born January 19, 1964) is an American former professional baseball player known for his brief Major League Baseball (MLB) career.
He spent most of his childhood moving to different cities. He began playing baseball at the age of three. His father became a recruiter for the United States Navy and his family settled in Texas. He attended Brownwood High School, but as Brownwood did not yet have a baseball program, he played football for the Lions from 1979–82 and won the state championship as a wingback, punter and kicker with Gordon Wood as a head coach. Still, he never gave up on his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player.
Morris was originally selected 466th overall in the January 1982 amateur baseball draft by the New York Yankees but did not sign. He would then later be selected fourth overall of the 1983 amateur draft (January Secondary) draft by the Milwaukee Brewers and signed with the organization. He suffered several arm injuries in the minor leagues, and was released during the 1987 season, never having progressed past the single-A minor leagues. He signed with the Chicago White Sox organization for 1989, but was again unable to rise past the single-A leagues.
A film festival is an organized, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. Films may be of recent date and, depending upon the festival's focus, can include international and domestic releases. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre (e.g., film noir) or subject matter (e.g., horror film festivals). A number of film festivals specialise in short films of a defined maximum length. Film festivals are typically annual events. Some film historians do not consider Film Festivals as official releases of film, like Jerry Beck. The best known film festivals are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival, the latter being the largest film festival worldwide, based on attendance. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest major festival. The Melbourne International Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world. A 2013 study found 3,000 active films festivals worldwide—active defined as having held an event in the previous 24 months.

Jim Morris - LT Interview http://www.ironmanmagazine.com
Jim Morris Hicks Appearing on Marlene & Friends
Florida and Caribbean-influenced songwriter Jim Morris is interviewed by Paul Leslie in Key West, Florida.
Linking the Community to the Homeless Part Two; Jim Morris, June 9th, 2015 Interview by Wally Webster
The film =+= http://bit.ly/296AJSU =+= tells the story of Jim Morris, the son of a career Navy man..
This documentary study how we choose our food can affect our health, other species' health and the earth's health. The film also discusses some misconceptions about food and diet by interviewing eminent scientists such as Dr. T Colin Campbell, Dr Jim Morris Hicks, Dr. Toni Bark and several other.
He was three years out of college,
A damned good engineer.
Worked hard all day, then he partied away.
Things were happy on the old frontier.
Had a plan for taking life easy,
Avoiding the kids and a wife.
He drove all the women crazy.
These were the three best years of his life.
Then the corporate boys they called him
And said we’ve got a job to do.
Got this problem up in North Dakota
And we need a man just like you.
But the sound of the plains and the freezing rain
Hit him like a fatal disease.
Put a beer to his mouth, took 95-South
And he headed for the Keys.
CHORUS:
And it’s just the sweetest life he’s ever tasted,
A little laid back and key wasted.
He’s got his toes in the sand, he’s a tropical man
He’s happy as hell and it shows.
He’s just living in a drunken stupor,
Making some money on that old square grouper.
Never had any doubt and if it doesn’t work out,
Well, that’s just the way it goes.
Got a job making margaritas
In a little bar by the pier,
Till he finally made some connections
With some big-time buccaneers.
Now he spends some time in Cartagena
Making plans for the haul.
Might be dealing with bums, might be dangerous to some
But the old boy is having a ball.
REPEAT CHORUS
Now his friends all worry about him;
They think he’s throwing his future away.
It’s kind of hard being upwardly mobile
When you’re laying in the sun all day.
So they call him up to convince him
And tell him what it’s all about.
But on the phone he can never stop laughing,
He’s got the whole damned thing figured out.
REPEAT CHORUS
