My Paul Newman Encounter
Ya know, about a year ago I was thinking about people who are sorts of legends, who happened to be alive @ that time. I was trying to think of people from all walks of life, ya know, every occupation and claim to fame. When I tried to think of Celebrities, I could only think of two or so, and one of them was Paul Newman. And then I thought how, yeah, maybe he was a movie star and all... and that was his launching pad, his day job so to speak, but this guy is so much more, due to his creation of the Hole in the Wall organization. I was listening to BBC the night he died and the Emails from people all over the world speaking about what he did for their children, sending them to spend a week in an Irish castle with other ill children and so many more examples.
In 1989 as I was working at the Russian Tea Room, the owner decided to use the less oft used second floor and create a Cabaret space. We had great acts, not that i was familiar with any of them at the time, but the small room was capacity for each of the two shows they performed. It was a great gig for us waiters because it was, get em' in, get em' out, make a lot of cash.
Anyway, one Sunday we were to have one of Paul & Joann's daughters playing. I honestly can not remember which one she was, anyhow. They had reserved a table in the front, a banquette seating 11 or so people. I was their waiter. I was never an ass kisser with celebs and this time was no different. Paul and JoAnn had to work the room but I kept him happy with some beers and I would always catch his eye (how could you not-those eyes) as he was across the room making nice for the benefit of his daughter. I watched as she performed and the look on both of her parents faces was of beaming pride. I was jealous of her (I think it was Melissa). He looked filled with pride. When the room was clearing out he told me he was not going anywhere and do not bring the bill to anyone but him. I think the total was like 600 bucks or so and he left me like 1/2 of that as a tip. A very cool and classy guy.
I still have the credit card copy of the tip and the autograph. Once I get my own PC and I can upload a pix (I can't on the library PC), I will update this.
I watched Letterman's tribute to Paul Newman last night and involuntarily, tears rolled down my face, as did the other night while listening to BBC World.
This is what a legend is.

Biden
What do you think... I hope to God that Obama chooses Joe Biden for his running mate. You can read about my love for Biden on previous posts boosting him to presidency. And you know, no one was talking about Joe, except people in the know. On "Charlie Rose" and such he proved his points. Even Joy Behar was an advocate for Biden saying that he was lost in the crowd, yet the most competent.

The Blogger Commentator You Would Like to Be
It's hard being a commentator on a blog. I mean you have to work up all this agita and vitrol and then you sit there at your desk or more likely on the floor with the dog your supposed to be walking licking your face, and as you tuck in your over extended bra strap to your 3 dollar 90%off sale from JC Pennies tee by Arizona, you need to sound off about Michael Phelps. "He's not that cute", you write, intermittingly taking collect calls from the Iowa jail where some guy who finger fucked you in 8th grade is staying and your about to get married soon. And while your at it, why don't you sign on to TMZ or Perez, because maybe if you write something witty (maybe being the operative word) someone will cede and answer your comment and make an even wittier one, wherein you (searching past 'Garfield' strips and your vast knowledge of all things 'Friends') tries to 'get back attcha', so you both could be rotfflol .

Joe Lieberman is an old shriveled dick
When he lost in Conn. as a republican, this sore loser/ loser turned indy. Yeah, I guess if he could have joined a party called 'Not Dem' he would have as well. I think the Conn. people just said 'fuck it' or else none of the ones who did not pick him the first time, did'nt bother to vote or he won with one of those Nadar situations (taking the votes away from Gore).
His voice can put anyone to sleep.
He thinks by pandering to McCain he is going to be a vice president candidate. Maybe thinks McCain, I could get those Jewish Obama voters? At least win Conn.
Are you kidding me? Lieberman addresses Obama voters as 'young folks'. Is this guy for real? Is he as out of it more then Reagan's second term/ year 3? This country is so fucked! Fucked!
Edwards talking shit about Bill Clinton's infidelities while he is screwing some aged ho, with that Brylcream hairdo that makes what women swoon? Whom? I have never met a woman who thought he was sexy? You know what type of woman thinks John Edwards is sexy? The six women who read Playgirl and thought the guys were straight.
Sorry it to me so long to get back on this thing, but look at one of my first posts, i was what some might consider an early blogger.

"Fetus" sung by Celine Dion
Well you nasty papparazzo and such (hah)...We never made a baby. Maybe it's me and maybe it's her.
I'm like completely defensive here.
We really only did it 'sort of' correctly 2 X.
Joyce is a stupid luni-toon.
The fucking house is at 68 degrees- constant. I'm sure all my spunk got fucking frost bite.
Then, we did not know what we were doing.
I had a MAJOR fight with Miss Joyce at the end of this deal and she was so pissed. She was like, berating my sperm...Saying they were 'Drunk and Lazy'.
We did not talk for the last 3 months, mind you. (P.S. She never paid me for that last month)
Whatever...
We talk now. They are adopting some trpod from Russia.
I love you all, and I hope you all come home.
Much Love,
Mick

Fuck heads
Listen, ever since Ellen became famous, I dumped her (Not really...I just took a side step, but that dancing and smiling thing took me for a loop). So, she went to work while the writers strike was in progress. But, it's not like I do not feel for her. She was the first to do her show sans writers. Now, after all the belly-aching from these M&M munching frat geeks comes a new proposal that may see Letterman on the air very soon. Cool.
BTW: Nightline has gotten it's best figures yet.

This Is The Deal
From the calculations I have heard...There is a blog every 30 seconds. I can not keep up with that. I'm scared of failing. My 7 return customers, ya know.
I love you all. And if I can tell Bart... that he is as gorgeous as he writes. I've been in Fla. with no laptap for 4 months.
I love all you guys
ENORMOUSLY

Ding...Ding...ROUND THREE
Well, she's definately ovulating this time. The kit says so. So we did the method commonly referred to as the turkey baster method this morning. This sometimes ensures it will be a girl. I went running/jogging/walking/crawling afterwards so I can get my endorphins pumping for part two this afternoon.
Sloan has the greatest girls name picked out.
Mikaha pronounced Mick-kye-ya
And whats cool about this name is that it incorporates the Mickey part...
This was not intentional.

The 3rd time is the charm
I'm headed down to Florida again next week for the monthly offering.
Gosh...Miss Sloan wants a bambino so bad. She is already registered to the fact that it won't happen. Cripes. She's 34! How many drunk ass 34 year olds are going to go out tonight, have a few Cosmo's (or Mojito's) , get laid and find out they are preggers in a month!!!!
Dam it!!
I was going to make this a lot longer, but this suit and tie guy next to me is using everything in his power to itch every centimeter of his body, and I think he has crabs and I do not wan't to get them. Yeah, they jump.
Later.
Love and kisses,
Mickey

Creepy
I've been waiting for this movie via the library waiting list for a bit. Like a month. Yesterday it arrived with Jarmusch's "Coffee and Cigerettes". The movie is "Mysterious Skin" by Greg Araki and starring that kid from "3rd rock from the sun." This movie creeped me out big time within the first 17 minutes. I have to keep on watching. Kinda like a disaster.
It's not your usuall kid gets raped by Pedophile fare, where it is creepy but watchable. This one really sets the mood correctly. Meaning, Creep-orama

Rail Roaded
I heard a train in the distance @ 11:30 pm this past Sunday. The subways are few and far between as it is already on the weekends, forget about the fact that I would have to wait about another 40 minutes and then miss two ferries in the interim. So, I had prepared myself with my money and my metro card which kookily enough had 45 cents on it. A Metrocard is a plastic card which serves in place of tokens these days in New York City. It also gives you the liberty of swiping it after a subway ride for a transfer on another MTA mode of transport. I had the exact change for the remainder of my card, $1.55, and the train in the distance. I inserted my card in, hit refill, hit $2.00 cash, inserted the cash and change...train getting closer...Heart pounding...Transaction completed, no receipt thank you. I swipe my card and it says "Insufficient Funds" or something we never like to see. I did not get a receipt. Train getting closer. I see the MTA lady in the booth talking to some tourist and explaining so nastily the trains to take. I'm next. She actually made believe I was invisible and went back to her circle a word game. Train about to pull in any second.
"Miss, I just put two dollars in the machine..."
"Use the gate" she barks as she points to the entry for people with suitcases and strollers.
"No, but, I need the transfer"
"Use The Gate" she points harder to the crusted black peeling jail bars.
"I know where the gate is, I need the transfer for when I get off the ferry"
Just then the train was pulling in.
"Do you wanna miss your train or what" she stated in such a way as if she was asking me if I wanted the curtain or the box, and one of them has a booby prize.
I took the curtain, I mean the train. I stressed the whole way over on the ferry because I did not have my ATM card and I did not feel like getting arrested for jumping the turnstiles. Stress...Creating Lies in my head...all because I paid the money and got nothing in return. I ended up getting off the ferry and asking the train conductor in Staten Island if he could give me a break, and before I could get the rest of my contrived 'story' out he waved me through. I thanked him profusely and headed home.

Saved
There is a scene in "Saved" a cool movie wherein these two teenager lovers were underwater and having a conversation. He says" I'm blurb bubble bubble gay" and it's really funny. I used to do the same thing with my brothers in our pool. I was thinking of this last night when I took a 1 am dip in the pool @ my condo. We also used to have tea parties underwater.

Sad Reputation
I was watching Saturday Night Live last week and the musical guest was Avril Levine (Canadian) and I swear to you, after singing this first song about '...being your girlfriend..' or some such nonsense, I thought I would fling the remote and I felt as though my ears were bleeding. But, then her 2nd ditty came on and it was absolutely the worst song I have heard in ages. I really felt sorry for her band mates, or whoever is feigning interest in her music for the sake of scoring some money on her tour. These guys looked kind of cool, but the overacting to her abysmal singing and non sensical lyrics that were so freaking contrived made me think that after this tour they should be plagued with either one of those ditties sticking in their heads' for like a year.

Judge and Jury and Judy
I've been laid up the last couple of days and I guess I've tested the 5 channels of televisions daytime options. There seems to be a lot of new Judge shows on. I like this one named "Judge Maria Lopez" and this other guy "Judge Alex". <--- that last one sounds so funny, kind of like 'Eric the Clown' on Seinfeld. Anyway, I've noticed that a lot of the plaintiffs and defendants have one, two or most of the following characteristics that do not necessarily affect their cases.
- Substance Abuser they looked toasted on screen often
- Trans Gendered or Trans Sexual a lot of times someones witness is this
- Mid Western (natch)
- Gay male who is married
- Fat...actually really fat and dressing a little too skimpy (reminder:the camera adds 10 lbs)
- All Dog fights involve pit bulls
- Look WAY older than it states they are
- None of the boyfriends of either suers/sued ever works
Please add your own.
