If I hear Ashton Kushners name again?

I will think of something to do to myself and put me out of my misery LOL, my nephew and son were relentless on getting near his house, not because of him but his girlfriend Milla (what ever her last name is) LOL.  They love her, which made them so determine on finding and getting a closer view of his home, it was getting so annoying !  For one day we went  to the top of the hills near the Hollywood sign, if you could Imagine that!  The streets up there are like a death trap or I would say like a roller coaster ride.  How in the world these people drive up and down these roads without having a heart attack (like my sister almost did numerous times) I will never know! To get to Ashton's house is pretty much impossible because of stalkers like my son and nephew! lol  But after awhile and a whole lot of laughs, all turn out okay when we were on the Hollywood boulevard and the kid he starred with on The 70's show walk right by us (his name is Wilmer Vanderama or something close to it) he played the Spanish kid on show..They were ready to take flight and start taking pictures of him and his girlfriend and follow them.  Rob, my son said he had eye contact with Wilmer and that you could tell he did not want to be noticed and that when he realized Robbie knew who he was, he started to move faster in the crowed! I had to stop the stalkers again, only kidding they were just having fun with the star gazing stuff!  Do you believe I missed Valerie Bertinelli getting her star on the walk of fame by a few hours, she Betty White and the rest of the cast from her show were there to honor her! We also went to this great shopping mall called the Grove where the best of the best goes.  Every car you see is Bentley's, Rolls Royce's, and a whole lot of others that my son knows the names of and right now do not have a clue, but I do know one thing one was more expensive than the other!  So much to do and see!  We went to this little strip mall, to go to Carvel no less and a Rolls Royce and valet parking was to the left of it, we found out that that restaurant had the best Sushi in town and all the stars go there, who would have thought it was not much on the eye this mall to say the least!  The Carvel ice cream we were in was one that Bob Hope went to all the time and Jay Leno goes in there every Sunday faithfully! All the little tidbits are coming back to me a little at a time!  You have to remember, there is only so much this little brain of mine can store, so little things are coming to me as the days go by.  Later guys!

Los Angeles,California land of the rich and poor!

Well let me tell you, I had a ball, from Beverly Hills to Zuma beach and the Hollywood hills, Newport beach, Manhatten beach and so much more, Madame Trousseau wax museum, Graumans Chinese Theater with all the hand and foot prints so much to do with so little time! I laughed sometimes so hard I almost pissed my pants (I know to much info) but what can I say it was one of those weeks where I sometimes laughed so hard it hurt, kinda of thing! We went on tours, The dearly departed tour, with all the unsolved mysteries of the stars and their demised and of course the tours of all the homes of the rich and famous. I am such a sap for all of this, with being a nostalgia buff, this is right up my alley! We went to the Nethercutt museum, This family is amazing.  They have the most wonderful collections of cars, pianos, organs sounds I have ever heard in my life and can you believe it, its all free.  Amazing family and amazing people to share their wonderful collection with the world is to me truly special in this day and age, when everything is about money! We went to great places to eat, and the last day we went on a sunset cruise in Newport that was just breathtaking to say the least, and the houses on this cruise will take your breath away! I have pictures galore with loads of memories and good times with people I love! I did not make the Hollywood Cemetery on my last day, because they closed it to the public. This is the resting place of some of the greatest stars in the world, like Rudolf Valentino and so much more! My family was like why do you want to see a cemetery, I said it is not just a cemetery it is the last resting place of the most famous people in the world! (they thought I was nuts, so be it, I did not care, oh well it was not in the cards this time maybe the next).  Now for the sadness of the trip, I have personally never seen in my lifetime, so many homeless people!  Mostly wherever you go in California you will see homeless people, laying near walls of buildings, talking to themselves and they look so lost and alone! In Hollywood Hills, where houses are worth millions and have gates and bushes about 15ft high blocking the views from the street for privacy we would see homeless people laying in the bushes in some spots sleeping with all there belongings with them, how sad is that, on one hand there are people with so much money they really do not know what to do with it and on the other hand you have people starving in the streets.  I did have a wonderful time, but when I go to sleep at night I seem to remember all the faces of the homeless and starving, and that was something I did not expect on my trip at all! I spoke with some people and I asked them how do you get used to being around this and seeing this each and everyday!  They said it is the California way of life and you get use to it!  I do not believe being from New Jersey where the homeless are not laying in streets that I would be ever use to it, nor would I want to be use to it!  Help is what is needed, not getting use to it!  Sad very sad indeed!

One more hour and 1 1/2 more days!

One more hour of work and one and 1/2 days to go. I will be: leaving on a jet plane don't know when I'll be back again!  Love the song and for the life of me cannot remember who sings it! (senile moment once again) LOL wait, I need a moment to reflect, no that didn't help  mental block is still there!  Oh, who cares you all have to know the song and soon I will be on that jet plane and off to a wonderful vacation with calm and tranquility at least for one week anyways! I bet you guys are so sick of my vacation talk, so sorry can not help myself, but one good thing will come of it, a lot more to talk about instead of same old, every day boreing stuff!  I have to tell you when I am out and about the one thing It will not be is boreing I promise you that!!  Later, friends around the world!

Horoscope Update: (Aries) 8-15-12

This one is a good one, I like: It reads, It's time to tell that certain person who keeps trying to put you into a specific box that no one defines who you are but you! How right it is, I have one certain person in my life that really if I let him/her do that to me will. But you know what, I am a lot stronger person now than when I first started out on my journey, and no one will define me but me. Oh and about telling that person, why should I, actions speak louder than words! I will never let a person ever, think they are better than me, I could give a hoot who you are, we all eat, breath, and excuse the word (shit) the same way!  You have to know who you are to let your self esteem back into your life to know that!  It took years of embarrassment and not feeling like I belonged for me to realize that, some horrible experiences and memories till this day, have made me a stronger person, not weaker!  Always remember the worst of the worst is in the past, keep it there, The people or person who tried to bring you down, only made you stronger, it did me! I define myself and I know what and who I am. And to that person I say thank you! Lesson well learned!

Hello young lovers!

Hello young lovers where ever you are, that song I believe was from a movie the State Fair with Pat Boone and Shirley Jones.  I so dated myself, but believe it or not that was even before my time I think I was 2 when it was made, so not that, that old  LOL!  Why did I think of that song on a Tuesday morning at work, I have not a clue, like I tell you these things just pop into this brain of mine and I just go along for the ride!  It is a feel good song so I suspect I feel good!  When I was in my teens I saw this movie and it made me happy, so happy thoughts it is! Stay happy and the world is yours for the taking, so to speak!!!! Happy, Happy, Happy   I know, I'm whacked!
