Damn: Corey Haim is dead

TMZ, once again, has broken the story.  This time Corey Haim is dead.

He was found in the valley, dead of a drug overdose.... that is some sad stuff...

The reason it is so sad for me is that we grew up in the same neighborhood, and he and the other Corey (Feldman) were like buddies to me in a way.  I have a best friend and we've been compared because of how we worked well together the way these two did.

That was the 80s, and when in recent times, it became clear Corey came under the influence of heavy drug addiction that was sad enough.  But that he had to make a Hollywood comeback was just useless. 

When the Two Coreys show came out, it was a time bomb, and it was clear this was not going to be a pretty ending.  They couldn't work together anymore and now, at 38, Corey Haim is dead.

Then I

took a nap ...

I tryed by I was dyed

Yes you are who you are and guess what?  The King of Broo is crunk diddy.

Yeah, I do have a lot of things to plan out for March, but this is the week of me!  Did you forget that!

OK I had to work today just like every hone else and no I"m not going to corre3ct anymore mistakes because I'm drunk - except on the occasions where I go into auto-pilot and fix what doesn't look right,.  I'd do more but I'm crunk diddy.

Don't ervin magic johnson know what I'm typing.  But it's past midnight and just for you out there who wannna know what I did for my birthday eve celebrration -  I sat in the 5th row of a good section at Staples Center and it was, in the end, only to watch the lowly Clips get torn shredded bed bath and beyond style and grace by the pathetic Oklahoma Thunder.  Yes they have Durant and that is pretty good, but before this season I remember specifically if I see this team lose to OK I'd scream bloody murder and so here goes.

Buzzcocks just played and so I feel great.

It's actually 2:25am and it seems that I went through an evolutionary process tonight just to get to the bday moment. Of course that took a heavy load of bloating beer, rum n cokes and chicken strips and a realllllly sucky Clipper blowout. 

Then we went to a couple of westside bars, made some interesting chat and smoked some interesting herbs that made everything really funny and animated.  . .

And when that faded I started thinking about stuff I needed to due Monday and so I drank more and felt much better thank you.

i'M not going to say anything deep and wandering.  rather I'd like to focus on all the beautiful .... oh fuck it, lets face it - unless I have the courage to go downstairs to get ibuprofin I'm waking up with a massive head shock so I better go do that and upload some pictures from the dayyy... coming soon.

March birfday week rolls on... i... i... i... i...

And this week is my highest of holy weeks.  I do the opposite of lent.  I do the opposite to fasting.  I laugh at people.  I get in trouble at work.  I play lots of basketball, go to Clippers games and I let my bedroom get messy. 

Real messy.

It's my week of narcissi.

I plan trips and go on them.  I have a great travel record in March.  In 2002 I went to South Korea and spent a year working and traveling around Asia.  9 of the past 12 years I've gone to Vegas for March Madness.  I've gone to Portland, Idaho, Washington, New York and this year, if things work out, Texas, for South by Southwest - ALL IN MARCH.  I've gambled, attended bachelor parties and weddings.  March gives me spring. I accidentally misplace my watch every February, and find it on April fools day.

I'm also a notorious March blogger.  Some of my favorite posts have been conceived in March...

It's not a bad thing to let it out, I'm something of a public servant 51 weeks a year, but it is definitely not much of a factor during this week. It's a good thing that with all the bad things that happen around me and you, just remember the first week of March, every year, is the week you can be sure someone has something to smile about.

Birthday Week Begins

Ok - it actually began Saturday so you're late to the party.

Then again I haven't been blogging much because of other time consuming things such as:

1. Perfecting ground turkey meals.
2. Deciding if it's time to officially move up in pant size, or keep things "snug" as a reminder to work out more.
3. Figuring out wtf happened to dailymael.com
4. Finding the perfect rawhide for the dog (not too big, not too tough, nothing I can smell)
5. Wondering if I should ever clean my keyboard or see just how much gunk I can accumulate on its keys during its life-time.
6. Noting my car's MPG to the exact 1/10th of a mile
7. Figuring out why Jerry Brown gets panned by seemingly everyone I talk to - yet still has a major advantage in becoming CA's next Governor.
8.  Will Hurt Locker win best movie despite having a stupid ass headcase of a producer who'd write the board pleading his case why his movie should win?  I wonder.
9. Vegas, Tahoe, Vegas again, Texas and/or Idaho?  Or all four trips?
10. Flying Dog double pale ale or Dutch beer?

Yeah, I know what you are thinking.  "Daily Mael is mental."
