"Lost" scene at it's best

Endearing, funny and sad

Although I volunteer exclusively with the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation (animal rescue), I love the work that Much Love Rescue does. This video hurt my heart and also entertained me at the same time. Kind of like the scene in Steel Magnolias where Sally Field and the girls were at the cemetery. You're crying one minute, and then laughing the next. So.... this isn't like that! But it smells similar. Oh, just watch it!

My lunch with an Emmy winner...


Had lunch with my brother Mark today. We used to get to do this all the time, but this past year has been "haywire" for me, so our time together is few and far between.
When we were little (I mean when I was 8 and he was 4), we were the "latch key kids" of the early 70's. I can't take credit for how well he turned out, but I'd like to think that our sweet, innate nature made us able to be compassionate adults. We are "feeling" kids, but we always have to be strong for others. It's just our destiny.
He listens to me though. Whether it's on the phone or especially in person... he's there for me. We have a very full plate with our lovely, beautiful... withering away 92 year old Grandmommy. I am able to be the main caregiver for her (as girls usually are), but I know it literally kills him how she's declined. I do envy his ability to be more removed from the situation.... but I wouldn't give up my involvement or connection with her in any way! In many ways, this amazing woman Esther Gilstrap was our mother (we lost Mom 3/10/04). If we needed a doctor, she took us. If we had acting class, brownies, school... whatever, she did it proudly and happily and gladly. Now, if she needs anything, we do it. She jokes all the time that she did it for us, so now it's our turn. This is her way of helping herself cope with her lack of independence. Believe me, there virtually is NONE.
He's a GOOD guy.
I am gushing. Don't expect this too terribly often!

Rescue Dogs - Pit Bull & Cocker Mix - Best Friends

This little guy is one of many fortunate rescues from the "bowels" of Los Angeles shelters. It's a happy video though, with Elvis, another fortunate saved life.

Some folks are self-imposed "Retards"


Okay,

I was just saying the other day that Blogs are stupid, yet here I am, creating my own.

It sure is easy to be overly opinionated when all you can do is channel surf over 150 satellite TV stations. "The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart" is my new favorite news medium. It's a heck-uv-a lot more entertaining than the news out here in Los Angeles. It's not news, but I learn more about what's going on in the world there than locally.

Talk about competition! Every single story practically is done with a reporter "live shot". What's funny is they will do a live shot in front of a building at 11:15 pm. The building is closed and there are no people there.... But yet they do it. Perfect example is during the OJ Simpson trial in 1996, they kept doing live shots in front of the closed, dark courthouse on the 11:00 news. How funny is that? Sometimes they'll do a live shot from the other room... Just to call it live!

And what is up with the Anchors diction? All of the S's are SH's. Is this because they don't want S's to sound like "sssssssssssssssssss", or air coming out of a balloon? If you ask me, it's flat out annoying and drives me to drink. The worst offenders are Weather-persons and Sportscasters!

I have a Broadcast Journalism degree and decided years ago I wasn't right for the job since I had no speech impediment.

Live film at eleven....

American Idol is isn't on tonight. Thank God for TiVo because I swear, I can't even BELIEVE some people! How in the world can some of these families support these kids in "pursuing their dream" when they absolutely SUCK so bad? Not only do many of them stink, but some are complete "freaks of nature". Last night there was the androgynous boy... Who says he can't believe people mistake him for a girl... While wearing a rounded neck white tee and high heel black boots.... Topping it off with a Peppermint Patty hairdo straight out of Charlie Brown's creepy alternate universe.

I did think it was kind of mean when he walked off and they played the theme song from "The Crying Game".
Upon further analyzing that later I realized.... This is what he wanted! He played stupid saying he was shocked that people mis-took him for a girl, then 5 minutes later called the judges "racist" for not accepting his "style".

The kid knows he comes off like a freak. He is aware! Therefore, don't be shocked and surprised if people NOTICE! Be who you are, but there's no need to stuff it down our throats to accept you (when we probably would already if you would just "BE") as a card carrying, parade marching, in your face freakazoid!

And here's a tip for all of you "supportive" parents. If your kid sounds like a fog horn and you notice seals and birds responding... DON'T tell them they're the next Barbra Streisand. Instead, hone their unique skill and support them in becoming Doctor Doolittle's next assistant. Pa-lease, leave the rest of us out of it!

So, that's how I see it!
