HEY! It's ME!!!



Despite a wash out on getting together with my extended family, had a good weekend. Good Saturday night get together with Russell Landreth, the wifeage, and lots of prom people. Too many things in downtown GreenVegas this weekend. Armed Forces parade was Saturday- amazing turn out. The Greenville Drive home stand this weekend. The very delicious and great smelling Greek Festival. Greer has an awesome BBQ festival this weekend with WHOLE animals BBQ-ed and grilled. Apologies to my vegan friends, The BMW Charity Pro-Am with the awesome looking and newly engaged Holly Sonders. I miss Catherine Bell this year...

Other things this week....

Please keep Lana Kuykendall in your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes as she continues her fight for good health.

The SpaceX launch/ not a launch was freaking awesome despite not actually lifting off. The rockets fired and the clouds of exhaust enveloped the launchpad as the NASA guy counted down ending with the word "liftoff!" Yet the rocket carrying the Dragon space capsule remained on the launchpad. The computers cancelled the launch A HALF OF A SECOND before liftoff due to some issue with the #5 rocket. Mission specialists say they'll try again next week. I'm a fan of this and despite the setbacks hope this will prove a good thing.

The guy who was convicted in the Lockerbie plane bombing has FINALLY died. Are things better in that case now? Does everyone feel vindicated or justified? Sigh..

The Avengers movie continues it's havoc on the box office and box office records. At least until Spider Man and the nex Batman movie. The movie crossed $1.07 billion worldwide on Thursday to become the sixth biggest film ever and the largest Disney release in history. Freaking AWESOME action movie done right without a female thug singer on a boat. THIS WEEK

The reaper has been busy this week -
RIP Donna Summer, who blames 9/11 for her cancer.
RIP to 31 dates or the rest of the Van Halen 2012 tour.
RIP to Donald "Duck" Dunn and GoGo music creator Chuck Brown.

Saturday Night Live was actually pretty good this week. 69 year old Mick Jagger hosted this season's finale and was in nearly every skit. He performed a few Stones songs with Arcade Fire and The Foo Fighters backing him. The show ended with he and the rest of the cast singing a cool version of "Ruby Tuesday" as a goodbye to Kristen Wiig. Each cast member including producer Lorne Michaels, danced a few seconds with her during the song.

A Tennessee man needs help paying his 30 babies and 11 baby mamas.

Here's a story about how more is owed to student loans than credit card or auto loan debt.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg made the news this week. HE GOT MARRIED SATURDAY!

The NAACP passed a resolution Saturday endorsing same-sex marriage as a civil right and opposing any efforts "to codify discrimination or hatred into the law. Amazing.

And finally, ALMOST finally. At least until the predictable rioting after a Zimmerman acquittal, facts and findings from the official police report! Pictures and xrays confirming the PRO Zimmerman side of George's injuries to the back of his face and head. Traces of THC was found to be in Martin's bloodstream and that he was shot less than 18 inches which would indicate a struggle. The official police report's findings side with the  Pro TRAYVON side stating Zimmerman should have just left Martin alone as he wasn't doing anything illegal and posed no threat to George Zimmerman. More to come!!
