SHAMES!!

I want to congratulate and thank a Mr. Shames Khan for making his donation to the Save the Ozarks Fund. It's good people like this who make this world a better place to live. Shames is truly a sincere and sweet individual and his contributions are most appreciated. Now, if everyone follows Shame's lead we will in fact "Save the Ozarks!" Thanks again Shames...much love! xoxo

On another note...the Lakers won last night to send their sorry asses to the NBA finals. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I'm positive the NBA didn't want the Spurs to get there again. I'm also sure that Boston will win the east and we'll have a Boston/L.A. finals...just like the old days. The NBA will get it's ratings and ESPNclassic will air all of those fantastic Bird/Magic matchups from the good 'ol days. Everyone will be happy...as long as Boston wins. Gosh I hate the Lakers...

On yet another note...my good friend Anne is in Austin, TX for a few days. What a terrific place to be! I've been there once before and it went something like this....
******** So, i go to texas for a wedding......and after eating pizza for thanksgiving at the gingerbread man, the hair salon, jackalope, blind pig, seeing chuck chuch the big f*t fu$k, listening to the soothing sounds of Joe Vega!, hanging out with carnival workers ("carnies"), watching byrd play outside the courtyard from 2-4am, walking 12 miles past the ironworks to get to IHOP, eating an ungodly amount of food at IHOP, having valet Garrett randomly show up at IHOP thinking we needed a ride home (in a guests' mini van), holding on for dear life as Garrett proceeded to drive 50mph through the narrowest parking garage i've ever seen, waking up with the biggest headache i've ever had, driving 89.3 miles to Brenham (yes Brenham), going to Bottles and Cans (just clap your hands), witnessing 5 separate fights (3 among girls with one doing her best Bob Knight chair throwing impersonation) and Steve almost playing Mike Tyson's punch out in real life, beating Byrd 3-0 in pool, beating Byrd 2-0 in air hockey (cheated in game 2), beating Byrd 21-17 in ping pong and losing to Byrd in Chutes & Ladders on an el cheapo move (the guy spins a 4 and moves 5 spaces! only to land on the ladder that leads to the winning square! and this chump move in a house of God of all places), going to the actual wedding, making awesome friends with a Budweiser wholesaler named Mike at the reception (he was 63 and drinking straight Crown!), asking the bartender the score of "the game" (ND/USC) and he gives me the score of the Brenham Cubs (yes they are the cubs!) basketball game vs. Giddings, paying $21.95 to watch the last 2 min of the Purdue/Hawai'i game, going to Daddy's or Wing Shop or whatever that place was called (Texas version of BW 3's), watching Grossman throw it up for grabs every fu*&ing play, going back to Blind Pig, watching the Colts try to play football, listening to the soothing sounds of Joe Vega again, eating 1 million pieces of pizza from Haux pizza (the most intimidating pizza place EVER!, witnessing Byrd take an awesome piece of memorabilia off the wall, urinating somewhere that was never intended for urination, ordering cheese fries and a BLT only to get regular fries and no BLT, driving past the No Trespassing sign on the Texas campus, waiting forever for our plane to take off, arriving to LAX seemingly the same time 7.3 million other travelers did, eating Of the Taco......i came home!

Thanks for your support!! BYE!!!
