ask away, watch yr life change

Margaret Thatcher called his organization, ANC, in 1987, “a typical terrorist organization“.

He was on the US Terrorist Watch list until 2008.

In 1986 Ronald Reagan warned the Republican led Congress not to pass an Anti Apartheid bill. When it passed, Reagan vetoed it. But Congress overruled it with a 2/3rds vote.

Then-Congressman Dick Cheney was one of the few Republicans that voted against the bill.

In 2000 he stood by his vote.

“[Mandela] deserves an enormous amount of credit for the transformation of South Africa,” Cheney said on ABC’s This Week, “but I don’t have any problems at all with the vote I cast 20 years ago.”

his spirit is free

but he didnt specify that it would kick in 23 hours later.

last night this is how i felt as i melted to sleep.

lesson: always beware of xbi doctors

i realized the reason i dont want any cats is they like to just make up their own rules

jump over there, jump on that thing, knock stuff over

so i told them that if they get their act together that maybe

just maybe

i’ll house one or two when the winter comes.

so tonight Boldy knocked gently on the door and i opened it and he said

kind sir, might i trouble you for a plate of kibble?

fine.

the doc says it was an xbi plot to keep me at the agency

he recommends i take some pills

whispered that theyre mostly sugar

and then he sent me on my way.

great guy. missed him.

xbi’s been super sweet lately.

a little too sweet if you ask me.

my insurance at the academy doesnt kick in until next month but this morning there was a knock at the door

it was the guinness book of worlds records with a camera and balloons and a midget throwing confetti

and a guy on stilts dressed as uncle sam and a mule smoking a cigar.

apparently i had broken the record for the man with the highest blood pressure in america without totally dying.

xbi was all, dude

i was like, hey can i please just enjoy my award FOR ONE DAY!?

but they were persistent and said that they’d pay.

“what if your insides are all rotted out and you dont even know” they asked me.

i have no idea why my pressure is so high. my jobs fantastic. women are throwing themselves at me.

and my new car is so fuel efficient it has been zipping around town solely on good vibes.

the biggest stress of my life right now is waiting for my extra large avocados to ripen.

i havent seen my doctor in forever. his secretary calls me anthony. im all fine as you is you can call me anything you want, but tony is what i prefer.

i dont think shes ever called me tony.

she might hate me now that i think of it.

why would she hate me?

he had this other nurse, she didnt hate me. but i havent seen her in years.

anyways, totally seeing the doctor tomorrow.

but if guinness thinks im returning that mule, they cray.

every successful operation has a secret weapon (or two)

there are many at the LA Times, but one of the most critical is paul

he subsists on Rock Star beverages and kleenex

he can handle stress of all sorts and has a long To Do list which he often to dos.

he is very quiet but if you piss him off he wont return your phone calls over the weekend, sean.

on this day when everyone else is celebrating Lucy Lui’s birthday, Paul reminds us about the real angels

i raise a toast to him, actual toast because it’s morning time.

happy birthday Paul!

but first we went to in n out because im a high roller.

and she noticed something sort of interesting.

the place was packed. standing room only. and she looked around and said

there are probably 100 people in here and only 4 white people.

i looked up from my delicious cheeseburger and said actually those two over there are hispanic

she said where. i said there. she said no theyre white. i said no theyre really light skinned.

and as we left we walked past and yep, hispanic.

people say that things are changing. when some say it they dont mean it for the better.

personally i love diversity. and it made me love glendale that much more than normal.

actually it was yesterday and i missed it because SOMEONE is not on facebook,

the best way to tell the world it’s your big day.

danielle is stuck in san dieger. a place that has many faults, the biggest being it has not fully embraced her.

we all get stuck from time to time and we think there’s no way out.

we convince ourselves that time or money or situation or circumstance is why we are accepting the mediocre

but all those things are just demons whispering in our pretty minds – so as to stop us from true joy

which we deserve. which exists. and which is certainly in the future of todays birthday girl, of whom there is no one like.

i have an extremely short list of people i would give a million bucks to if i won the mega millions jackpot

and danielle is on that list. i may have to give her two mil because sagitarrius’s burn through dough: allegedly.

but she is someone who has been given one bad hand after another

the worst being that she decided that san diego would be her escape route after a bad hand in LA

but the sun is now out, and america’s sweetheart needs to beat again, to her own drummer

and she will. i am sure of it. even if the numbers dont come in.

all the angels and saints are rooting for the hottest hippie in san diego.

i hope youre rooting for her too.
