A slice of varietyArchive for Friendship
Micheal Jackson takes his place with the Greats……
……..those are the thoughts that are going through my mind right now,I know everyone is in shock,some in dis-belief, maybe even some in denial, we all have our personal memories of Micheal Jackson, I will share mine with you……..I am fortunate to have worked as a radio disc-jockey,I got to host my own tribute show to Micheal Jackson last year,and I re-call that it was my most popular and favorite show to date (the post is still up on this site)……spending 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon just playing and talking about Micheal and his music, his accomplishments, his awards,etc….and sharing memories and hearing stories from the listeners…..it was a magical day, it really was……there is something special about his music that has touched so many and if you happen to be around my age then you realize most of his music shaped our child-hoods, so in a way you kind of feel that you have lost a friend even though I never meet him, I sure spent alot of time listening to what he had to say and watching him move across my t.v screen…..I am so glad I took the time to expose his music and videos to my 9 year old daughter,she actually said to me (after watching his videos) “I get it, I get why you guys like him, he is really cool” …. I was shocked and happy at the same time when she said that, her favorite song was”The Girl is Mine”….I thought to myself wow I wasn’t expecting that to be her favorite, don’t get me wrong I love the song also, but I was expecting her to say Billie Jean or Thriller or even P.Y.T, but she also turned out to like ABC and Rockin Robin….(kids will always surprise you)…..my favorite song is “Off the Wall”……..When the world is on your shoulders Gotta straighten up your act and Boogie down, I f you can’t hang with the feelin’ then there ain’t no room for you this part of town “Cause we’re the party people night and day Livin crazy that’s the only way………So tonight gotta leave that 9-5 up on the shelf and just enjoy yourself, Groove, let the madness and the music get to you Life ain’t so bad at all……..If you live it off the wall………Words to live by that is my Friday song, I play that when I need that little extra boost, or I wanna feel good…….

U.L.O Thank You Letter III
Robert Guillaume
………sometimes in life you have to say thank you to the people who help capture and cultivate your imagination….
Dear Mr. Guillaume,
I must say when it comes to acting I feel that you are one of the best, you have entertained millions with you’re classic distinguished acting style,the old re-runs of Soap and Benson still make us laugh(especially when you’re on the screen) to this very day. The movie Lean on Me and The Lion King were truly two of your most memorable roles for me when it came to movies. I will never forget your role as Isacc Jaffee in “Sports Tonight” it was brilliant and gutsy, your singing voice strong and powerful was dynamic in ” Phantom of the Opera”, your portfolio of work and your invaluable lessons of courage should always be recognized by future artist.
Toast to Mr. Guillaume

….an EVIL car spirit haunted me today
I think the spirit of my 1984 Ford Tempo was haunting me today, driving to work today I saw 3…count em’….3 Old Ford Tempos in a matter of 45 minutes….. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, I saw one while waiting at stop light , it was pulling out of 76 gas station, it actually looked decent only because it was clean and had nice white wall tires that matched with the nice white paint of the car, I kind of laughed to myself and thought who would still be driving a 84 Ford Tempo, I assume it was an 84 ‘ because it looked exactly like the one I used to drive, except mine was Burgundy, but anyway I continued on down the street stopped at a local cash machine, now while I was doing my transaction I noticed another Ford Tempo driving through the parking lot, I said to myself are you kidding me, another Ford Tempo no way, this one was a burgundy 2-door, mine was a burgundy4-door but it still had the same look, that same crap on wheels look that those cars had, at this point in time all kind of “Evil Ford Tempo” memories came flashing back to me (cue Kayne)…. for some weird reason this car would would die every time I would go down a hill, every single time!…. I soon realized Seattle has a lot of hills, then I remembered I got into my first car accident in that 84 Ford Tempo, ooh man the memories were all coming back , I could actually feel some old anger creeping up in me, that car cost me so much money so much heart ache, and so much frustration I will never forget that car…..so I arrive at work, I’m there a little early so I go into the break room,there’s a couple people in there drinking coffee and talking on the cell phones, so I sit down and an old rerun of Seinfeld is on tv, George Castanza is screaming at the top of his lungs about something , so I’m watching and then all of a sudden this pops up on the tv screen………
- Oh come on
