I am curious what some people might think about Larry Merchant. If you don't know who he is then don't worry about it but I have to say that he never fails to amaze me and at the same time make me roll on the floor laughing. Larry is one of the HBO boxing comentators but I swear that he is either completely lost it due to old age OR he gets drunk before each show. I like to think that he is a harmless alchoholic that has the pleasure of being drunk on international TV a few times a month. Just something that crossed my mind that I had to share. I wonder if Larry merchant like to Cyber? |

Sorry for not updating in so long. But I have been busy! 2004 was a very eventfull year for me. I have taken on more leadership at the office as well as taken on so many other responsibilites in my life. Peace talks in the middle east took up most of my time and still, things are no better than they were. George W and I have been getting together on a more regular basis but I still can't get him to realize that same sex marrage and legal Marijuana are issues that he should be more relaxed about. I also traveled to audition as the new frontman for INXS. I don't wanna give the new CBS reality show away,...but I think I have a pretty good chance. I would tell more of what I have been up to but have to run to a meeting. maybe more time to update later. |

Well,....its spring. This has been the winter of my discontent and I am hoping that it is OVER. Everything has gone wrong and everything has gone right. I seem to have a way of getting my own way in spite of myself. (That might not make sense to anyone but me). Well, I have some old friends to catch up with, and hopefully some new ones to make. And some OT to put in |

'Mister Rogers' dies at age 74 Always gentle, always courteous, always a role model Thursday, February 27, 2003 Posted: 2:00 PM EST (1900 GMT)
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Fred Rogers, better known as television's "Mister Rogers," a cultural icon and kindly neighbor to generations of American children, died Thursday at the age of 74.
Rogers died at his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after a brief battle with stomach cancer, according to a spokeswoman for his production company.
David Newell, a Rogers family spokesman, told The Associated Press that Rogers was exactly as he appeared on TV.
"He was so genuinely, genuinely kind, a wonderful person," said Newell, who played Mr. McFeely on the show. "His mission was to work with families and children for television. ... That was his passion, his mission, and he did it from Day One."
Rogers began developing his ideas for children's programming in the 1950s. He is best known for "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," which began in its early form in 1963 as a show on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
Rogers took the idea to the United States and in 1967, the first "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" aired on Pittsburgh's WQED. A year later, PBS picked it up.
The last original "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" aired in 2001, making it PBS's longest-running program ever.
Rogers emphasized his advocacy for children in a 1993 speech, when he was honored for 25 years on the air nationally.
"We have to remember to whom the airwaves belong, and we must put as great an emphasis on the nurturing of the human personality as we can," he said.
More than entertainment Fred McFeely Rogers was born in 1928 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, 40 miles east of Pittsburgh. He studied music composition in college -- which helped him write songs for his show later -- and, in the 1950s, he worked as a puppeteer for "The Children's Corner," a show he and Josie Carey launched on WQED. Many of the characters who later appeared on "Neighborhood" were created on that show.
In 1963, he was ordained a Presbyterian minister with a charge to continue his work with children and families through television.
From the beginning, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" was deliberately simple and straightforward, marked by Rogers' purposeful actions and soothing voice. Every show he would enter his home, take off his jacket and shoes, and put on a sweater and comfortable footwear while offering a welcome for his viewers.
The slow-paced show offered an alternate universe to most of today's quick-edit cartoon children's programming. On the eve of his final show, Rogers told CNN's Jeff Greenfield he looked at the program as more than entertainment; it was a chance to reach young people and give them a foundation for a good life.
"I believe that those of us who are the producers and purveyors of television -- or video games or newspapers or any mass media -- I believe that we are the servants of this nation," Rogers said.
That's why he got into television in the first place.
"I got into television because I hated it so," he said. "And I thought there was some way of using this fabulous instrument to be of nurture to those who would watch and listen."
Through the years, Rogers featured artists ranging from cellist Yo-Yo Ma to bodybuilder-actor Lou Ferrigno. He dealt with the death of pets and divorce, while teaching children to love themselves and others. During the Persian Gulf War, he made a series of public service announcements telling parents how to talk to their children about war.
"Children aren't responsible for wars," he said. "The least and best we adults can do is to let our children know that we'll take good care of them no matter what."
His recurring characters included Mr. McFeely and Lady Elaine Fairchilde, as well as puppets King Friday the Thirteenth, Daniel Striped Tiger and Curious X the Owl.
'I always thought I was a neighbor' "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" won dozens of awards, including four Emmys. A cardigan sweater belonging to Rogers hangs in the Smithsonian. In 2002, President George W. Bush presented Rogers with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, recognizing his contribution to the well-being of children and a career in public television that demonstrated the importance of kindness, compassion and learning.
Through it all, he maintained his down-to-earth, easygoing nature.
"I have really never considered myself a TV star," he said in a 1995 interview. "I always thought I was a neighbor who just came in for a visit."
It was that honesty that came through in his show. "I do think that young children can spot a phony a mile away," he said.
Rogers also had a sense of humor about himself. He credited his mom for the fashion statement that says, more than anything else, "Won't you be my neighbor?"
"My mother made a sweater a month for as many years as I knew her," Rogers said. "And every Christmas she would give this extended family of ours a sweater.
"She would say, 'What kind do you all want next year?' " said Rogers. "She said, 'I know what kind you want, Freddy. You want the one with the zipper up the front.' "
Then there was the endless parodies, most notably by comedian Eddie Murphy, who played his own version of Mister Rogers on "Saturday Night Live."
Rogers knew for a fact that Murphy meant no harm with his humor. In fact, they met once.
"He just put his arms around me and said, 'The real Mister Rogers,' " he said.
Colleagues in shock Rogers made his last public appearance on January 1, 2003, when he served as a Grand Marshal of the Tournament of Roses Parade, and tossed the coin for the Rose Bowl Game.
Marisa Lynch, who has worked for Family Communications Inc. for nearly 20 years, said she was in shock at his death.
"We just learned about his illness in January," she said. "Luckily, he didn't suffer."
Staff members rushed into work around 2:20 a.m. after hearing that Rogers had passed away, Lynch said.
"We're very loyal and dedicated," she said of the employees.
Rogers' nonprofit production company, Family Communications Inc., released a statement after his death. "We are grateful for the many people, young and old, who have cared about his work over the years and who continue to appreciate 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood' on PBS. We hope that you'll join us in celebrating his life by reflecting on his messages and taking them into your everyday lives."
Rogers once said he hoped kids who watch "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" will take the show and its lessons with them as they grow into adults.
"We all long to be lovable and capable of loving," he said. "And whatever we can do through the Neighborhood or anything else to reflect that and to encourage people to be in touch with that, then I think that's our ministry."
Fred Rogers is survived by his wife Joanne Rogers, their two sons and two grandsons, according to his Web site. |

So I am at the GYM today and some faugnaughts keeps given me the 'eye' and at one point says 'hey'. I really didn't think anything of it BUT then while I am in the change room he walks over and says something and then asks if I am with the FIRE DEPT. I'm like 'nope' and he goes 'oh, somebody said that you were' now, I guess that is some sort of compliment but I am a pretty little guy so who in the world would be telling people at the gym that I am a fireman....whatever. Faugnaughts! I feel a little better today than I did yesterday

I can't believe that it is only tuesday It feels like Thursday AT LEAST. my newest petname for Ben is pronounced FagNuts. Really, its just Fagnuts but it is cooler as FaugueNaughts. Shyne is Cool to live with, I never see him and when I do its pretty cool. We talk and hang and I never feel like I am walking on eggshells. Derrick White has quit IBM to persue Big Rig truck Driving. It pays more and he already has a license. It is also less stressfull he says. That may be true, but now I will have more work. My manager told me and Adrianne that it is pretty much up to us to find someone to take the place, BUT I can't think of anyone that will work the hours and do a great job. Oh well, more stress for me. |

I watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets last night. THAT HARRY POTTER IS SOMTHING ELSE!! boy oh boy, I can't wait to see the next HP movie and find out what kind of magical hijinks he is going to get himself into. I do realize that Harry potter isn't real,........BUT IF HE WAS! I would be his best buddy cause he is soooooo cool. If you couldn't tell by now, I really enjoyed the movie. I have a big CD chest now and have organized the CD's that went into it. I still have another 100 or so to organize but it is so annoying. you have to devide into genre and then sub genre. chill / house / chill-house / ambient / dub / dubient / electro / electroclash / trance / tribal. It never ends. I miss being a SIM, maybe tonight I will go back to Mount Fugi (my Sim world) and check out how things are going. Work has been super busy and I am getting stressed just so you know |
