RIP Ed McMahon

In sad folks y'all, Ed McMahon died early this morning at the age of 86.


MSN story here

Natasha Jane Richardson, R.I.P.

I only know her from The Parent Trap (1998) with the then sweet Lindsay Lohan. She was an English actress, daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and Tony Richardson. Sister to Joely Richardson. She came from a long line of famous English actors and actresses, and held her own on various stages.

At the time of her death, she was married to Liam Neeson, with whom she had two young boys. She has been a longtime support of AIDS causes, as her father died from AIDS-related causes in 1991.

Her death highlights the seriousness of closed head injury and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in general, and how followup medical is ALWAYS necessary after and head collision. However minor it seems, even if there is no blood and no immediate sign of distress, PLEASE do not overlook how deadly this is. Brain injury is very high on the list of the cause of death of very young children (if not on the top of the list, actually) and if death is not the result, serious neurological damage can result days, weeks, months, and years later.

Caution first--->CNN expert report on traumatic brain injuries

2 jobs = 30 hours/week
1 practicum = 22 hours/week


Anyone wanna switch places?? Riiiight.


HOWEVA, I've got many drafts in the works, of all the BS I encounter and my very often scattered and random thoughts...stay tuned for an exciting 2009!!

Marta Train Madness.

check this out and comment please. Her family claims that BiPolar Disorder is at play and she has affectionately been named "Soulja Girl," by people who have watched this or who were there. What do you think?

Way to Let Yourself Go.

I couldn't believe it when I saw one of these pictures on a friend's facebook page. Had to do some investigative work (that I've become so good at...)holla @ ya boy!

Throwback

Yo, do you remember the episode of Family Matters where there was gang and gun activity and Laura's best friend, Maxine, got shot in the parking lot for her flyy sneakers?


There are always those awkward episodes of sitcoms when they try to be real real serious and let the world know about some societal issues i.e. drugs, violence, STD's, eating disorders, relational aggression, rape, etc.

Personally, they need to just leave it to Lifetime movies...

Creepy.

reports say that this little girl may have started that fire...

WTF!

now tell me this shit won't give you nightmares! (courtesy of www.dlisted.com)

Pronounce "Le - A," I Dare You.

This email from a good friend made my day. Then...it made me sad:

So...it's pronounced 'Ledasha.' Oh yes...you read it right.

THE DASH IS NOT SILENT.

This child attends a school in Livingston Parish. (Louisiana) Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her daughter's name wrong. When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said 'the dash don't be silent.'

SO, if you see something like this come across your desk, please remember to pronounce the dash.


I just don't understand. I just don't get it. How do we know when creativity has gone too damn far?

Watch Your Back!

When you feel something wrong, make a move on it folks! Nothing's more eerie than your intuition sometimes, y'all know that. And it's usually hard to explain. But when it comes to kleptomaniac roommates...move quick! I've heard too many stories of roommates that have overstepped their boundaries...whether it's theft of food, clothes, panties(ewww), money, shoes, PARTNERS, etc.

It's theft! Not "I thought it was mine," not "borrowing," not "I thought you didn't want it anymore," and NOT "how did that get there?" but theft! So if you find something of yours in someone else's possession, and you did not give them lawful permission to have said item(s), it's theft! And you need to assess the situation accordingly, appropriately, and in a timely fashion. Whether the thief gets reported, verbally confronted, duffed real quick, etc. It's unpredictable what people will do when they're caught, so always assess your safety as well...(click pic for more info)
