Hmm. Learning About My Readership!!

Hello friends I just got myself quite a shock at the list of countries that read my blog as I never been to that menu and oh my I can say I am stunned at how many people have come to my blog page. Ok Ok I been been ignorant and thought no one was reading this page at all till I just clicked on a world view map and got my eyes opened. Ok my life is not easy and right now it is very hard but I guess I thought no one would ever read my blog here. Hmmmm.. Guess I am wrong and sorry to my reader for being blind as to what I post here and not knowing that this page is read in I counted about 19 countries around the world. I appologize for not knowing and since it is that well read it means I will try now from here on to improve this page with more content and less of my personal woes and pain of life. Since I am the editor I will try to bring more quality journalism to this page and who knows maybe this page will the catalist for starting a regular newspaper online which I have thought of doing many times. I have written many books and some are published with those that did get published making it to the New York Times best seller list so that i am still proud of. So with that note at the end of the day I will continue to write to this and improve on it since now I know it is worth while doing it.. I also want to note that I just started today writing on a journalism forum called 1source.com and hope to make some good things happen with that soon. I started a new music page to promote my music on OURSTAGE.com/JohnNorton and in spite of my lifes woes I still plan on making a music video and show of my tunes that I have written. I unfortunately have not done anything with my www.exploretalent.com/johnnorton page to get movie and modeling contracts but I will have to turn to doing more about that sooner. Have A Blessed Day Now To EVeryone!!!!!!!

Recent Update to Blog And My Life!!

Well all my friends it is the beginning of the worst part of the year that ugly nasty thing called winter is here being that is December 7th today. I see that my readership has increased recently which is just really great as I finally got to putting a page counter on this page that actually works. I tried many different page counters but they all failed till Google finally put this available to me and I love it cause it works with no bugs. I just proofed my page and I do see a few links have failed to work and shortly I will get to fixing them sooner. Sorry my friends and visitors for the not being as prompt on the updates this year but I still am dealing with computer and bad money problems. I would love to be here more and keep this page more interesting but I am financially failing and about all I own this month. To add insult to injury my car blew a fuel pump and it is stranded at my friends house while I work out how to get money to fix car. Well as of November 30th I got evicted out of the temporary apartment that I was living in and the same week I got my supplemental income cut off too. So the money I planned to use to go home to Forida at the end of November is a no a total zero as in I am broke and stranded in a place I hate with a passion with winter cold. Well since December 1st I have slept in my car until my friends have told me politely that they don't want to see me very often about 4 times a month. I am told by all my variety of friends how wonderfull their lives are in comparison to me being stuck in a winter place that is going to end up killing me sooner if I can't get a real house to live in and money from somewhere. Tonight I am forced to walk the streets freezing to death and it makes me really realize how little people really care about me when I have no job and and I am stranded in a place that is going to end my life. Even if I go back to my car at a friends house they don't want me hanging around and trying to keep on living with what I own including seeing my dog which they have been caring for since December 1St.. I appreciate all the help I have gotten from these people but they never are able to see my point of view and that is I never have had much in life and all I got I worked for and some came more recently from a family trust fund for me. I am trying to hang on to what little I still own and my two vehicles and my dog and when you don't live a life of over $4000.00 a week in income like all my other friends do you learn how to do the impossible and live with little to nothing for money. You really find out how much people care about you when your given a lecture about being a fourty something yer old man who is a failure and given 4 bucks and dumped at a homeless shelter and told bye and see you next week or in a few weeks. I now know this is why I hate this state and the attitude of people here who only care about you if you got money and a fancy house and plenty of toys. As soon as you show themyou got nothing the tune changes to what are we goiing to do with hima and get lost loser and come back a week or so or never from a homeless shelter and sorry pal I am not paying your bills or anything else. Real friends would not care about how much it costs or how long you would stay with them just that you would have a place to live away from the freezing cld of winter that kill people. You soon learn none of that matter if you don't show any money and other things of wealth.. this is my story today!!!

Major Update Now!!

Hello my friends I just added a whole lot more to my page so come check it out and see the new page.. I think eveyone is going to agree that it looks nicer and runs much smother than it did before... big smile today...

Changing Careers

Well it is Monday for sure and today I am feeling kinda stuck creative wise so I decided to write something. It all ways seems that Monday is the harderst day to get something done and be involved in a work project. I still think a career based on productive output is better than stagnation.it is difficult to change a career when you have done it for so long and like it. Money issues all ways put a limit on ones life and achievements. Living longer is a blessing and something to appreciate but money and career can and will lift you up or sink your life. Funny how one single thing in life called money has the power to bring good to you and increase your life or totally destroy it. Unfortunately most people fall into to category of being wrecked by money and that is from being broke most of the time. I guess that is why the bible says money is the root of all evil when you never gave it or enough of it to live long on earth. Just think if everyone has a million dollars then no one would die early in life and the entire population of earth would be a achieving and globally advancing civilization. Food for thought given the state of our current economic woes that all nations face currently. If everyone on earth was rich then who would need war and all its weapons. If every living person on earth has a million dollars then all the crime and poverty would disappear then as a human race we would not need prisons and a justice system or for a matter of fact much of any social programs that we bow have. Life for all humans would be great and even the animals would benefit too from our new found wealth and freedom. Think about how much better everything would be for all of earth. This is my thoughts for today and a proposal to improve all of earth and mankind. Blessing to everyone and have a wonderful day now my friends.

a new year!

Surely I got a lot of changes recently that make me look younger and a pretty young blonde told me my age is not a factor in her mind cause she thinks I sm youth looking for my age. I smiled and thanked her for her kindness. very nice to be commented on what she said I'd good looks. I never put any efforts into my looks since I feel that would make me look shallow person which I am not. Time sure has gone fast and you do notice that age number more past fourty something..
Well it sure has been a while since I posted to here. I just had a new birthday and now I am 42 but some days I feel older.

Meeting New People!!

I thought I would reflect on this days events and in perticularly one younger women. I met her today while riding the bus to get some food that I needed and she told me that she is twenty nine years old and has lived in many places. I am amazed to hear her describe all the places including Italy and California etc. that she has lived and been too. She was most imformative about all aspects of the places she has been which was interesting to me since I never have been there. The more I talked to her it made me realize how much she had accomplished in her life and that my life has gone pretty much no where compared to hers and she is about half my age. It forced me to reaccess my own life while talking to her and learning from her alot of new things about what it is to be a traveling successfull person. I thought in my life that I have seen and done alot but then you meet someone new and listen to their life story then you realize all the things you have missed out on. It is hard to swallow that someone who is half your age has gone more places and done more fun and interesting things in life than you have done which really is awefull. My age is a further insult that I have not done all the interesting things that she has done including living in many interesting places which I have never even seen let alone ever have lived in nice places like her. Granted I may come across as being jealous but in truth I am not at all feelling that way but instead just realize how much of a small box my life has become unfortunately for me. So I just decided to write about it here as a way of venting my frustration at how life has become so stuck in a box and seemly not many ways of changing it these days. That is all I got to say for today but it is allways good to share things sometimes when your out of ideas and creative process which I find this year is all about.

Actor John Forsythe Died Yesterday!!!

I wanted to comment on John Forsythe Death today and include his obituary peice as I allways thought he would someday follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan and become President of The United States. He sure had the personality and caracter to do the job and when he was on the tv show Dallas he just made me more convinced he show go run for the Presidential Oval Office. He Would have made a great President and probabily would have also been reelected to a full second term in the White House. It is sad we will never know how great he could have been in the Oval Office since he has died now. Sometimes in life you meet a person and it just screams out a certian caracter that is right for public office and this man sure had the right stuff. Here is his obituary and this is my tribute to a real great man who should have been called and elected MR. PRESIDENT.

LOS ANGELES – John the handsome, smooth-voiced actor who made his fortune as the scheming oil tycoon in TV's "Dynasty" and the voice of the leader of "Charlie's Angels" has died after a yearlong battle with cancer. He was 92.

Forsythe died late Thursday at his home in Santa Ynez from complications of pneumonia, publicist Harlan Boll said Friday.

"He died as he lived his life, with dignity and grace," daughter Brooke Forsythe said.

Despite his distinguished work in theater and films, Forsythe's greatest fame came from his role as Blake Carrington in the 1981-89 primetime soap opera "Dynasty." Forsythe lent dignity to the tale of murder, deceit, adultery and high finance, which often brought Carrington into conflict with his flashy, vengeful former wife, Alexis Colby, played to the hilt by Joan Collins.

Forsythe was an important part of another hit series without being seen. From 1976 to 1981 he played the voice of Charlie, the boss who delivered assignments to his beautiful detectives via telephone in "Charlie's Angels."

Forsythe evidenced little of the ego drive that motivates many actors. He viewed himself with a self-effacing humor, considering himself "a vastly usable, not wildly talented actor."

In a 1981 interview by a reporter, he also said: "I figure there are a few actors like Marlon Brando, George C. Scott and Laurence Olivier who have been touched by the hand of God. I'm in the next bunch."

With his full head of silver hair, tanned face and soothing voice, Forsythe as Carrington attracted the ardor of millions of female television viewers. "It's rather amusing at my advanced age (mid-60s) to become a sex symbol," he cracked.

While he had small roles in a couple of films in the early 1940s, Forsythe's first successes were mainly on the stage. While serving during World War II, he was cast in Moss Hart's Air Force show "Winged Victory," along with many other future stars.

After the war, Forsythe became a founding member of the Actors Studio, recalling it as "a wildly stimulating place for a guy like me who was a babe in the woods. I never suspected there was that kind of artistry and psychological approach to acting."

Declining a return to Warner Bros., Forsythe began appearing in television plays as early as 1947, and he continued his Broadway career. A role in Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" led to the awesome task of replacing Henry Fonda in "Mister Roberts."

He was next able to create a role of his own, as the naive Army officer in occupied Okinawa in "Teahouse of the August Moon." The play was a huge success, winning the Pulitzer Prize. "It gave me a sense of worth as an actor," Forsythe remarked.

The call to Hollywood was irresistible, and Forsythe came west to star in such films as "The Captive City," "The Glass Web" and "Escape from Fort Bravo." His best break came in 1955 when he starred in Alfred Hitchcock's one attempt at whimsy, "The Trouble with Harry," about a corpse that kept turning up in a New England town.

But Forsythe's film roles were limited because he was already busy in television. The comedy "Bachelor Father," in which he played a Hollywood lawyer who cared for his teenage niece, lasted from 1957 to 1962, appearing successively on CBS, NBC and ABC.

His later films included "Madame X" (opposite Lana Turner) and "In Cold Blood," Hitchcock's spy thriller "Topaz," "The Happy Ending" and "Goodbye and Amen."

"And Justice for All" (1979) marked a departure for the actor. Director Norman Jewison cast him as a judge with a kinky sex life.

"He wanted to create suspense on whether the judge was guilty of such dark deeds," Forsythe said.

He credited the role for causing him to be considered as the unscrupulous Carrington in "Dynasty."

"The producers didn't know what the hell they wanted," Forsythe recalled. "They talked to me in terms of J.R. in 'Dallas.' I said, 'Look, fellas, I don't want to play J.R. Part of my strength as an actor comes from what I've learned all these years: when you play a villain, you try to get the light touches; when you play a hero, you try to get in some of the warts."

He was born John Lincoln Freund on Jan. 29, 1918, in Penn's Grove, N.J.

He won an athletic scholarship to the University of North Carolina, had a stint as public address announcer for the Brooklyn Dodgers, then launched his struggle to become an actor against the wishes of his father. Having had his name mispronounced all his life, he adopted the name of Forsythe, which came from his mother's family.

He toured the country in a children's theater troupe with his first wife, actress Parker McCormick, and began appearing in radio soap operas and Broadway plays.

His first marriage ended after the birth of a son, Dall. During the run of "Winged Victory," Forsythe married another actress, Julie Warren. They had two daughters, Page in 1950, Brooke in 1954.

When not acting, Forsythe maintained a strong interest in politics and sports, often playing in charity tennis tournaments. A devoted environmentalist, he also narrated a long-running outdoor series, "The World of Survival."

In lieu of flowers, Forsythe's family asked that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.

The family said there will be no public service.

I am Back at work here!!

Well I am finally back to work on my blog here after having a disaster with my computer crashing. It forced me to have to rebuild everything I have lost
since my last posting in November 2009. Sometimes you got to painfully start over and it is not pleasent to do that if you lost most of your files and password. I am still recovering from a Vista operating system that frankly really is awefull and only works when it wants to. I have added new hardware here over Christmas time to try to hopefully never go through another crash again as I am more prepared for it now. I am back to writing and weeekly updating this blog and doing many new ventures. It seems as you grow older your creative process seems to become more than what you were in your twenties. Well that old addage I guess is true that the older you are the wiser you are and become over time. It does work out that you allways are doing something for the better of yourself but that you hope you are making a positive impact on all the people you meet and all the people you have as friends. Christmas was really great for me and shared it with frfriends and my small family and had a good time with all them. I have had my share of ups and downs but I am still writing books and articles about subjects that are important to me which is allways good to do since that makes all my readers have a opinion and a voice as well as me. Finally I am glad to be back and posting to here and writing about thing like world events and much more that are interesting to me as well as everyone who reads my blog here. Look forward to new Ideas and articles from me here and alot of major blog improvement as I will be doing that too. So take care and blessed be everyone and have a wonderfull day.

Jesus Christ and education!!!

I had a recent descussion with my new women friend recently about the fact that their os a lack of freedom of choice for the younger generation to pray to god and Jesus in the public school system. In pure simple terms according to my women friend the lack of knowledge in younger generations of morals and of bible based education is turning out kids who know nothing and have no values. I say this is great that some people realize the problems that public education has and what needs to be done to fix it. Sometimes I realize that problems take longer to solve but that there is also a future solution that makes sense to do. Looking at the scope of prayer in public schools being denied by law and the refusal of many schools not allowing the use of the pledge of alledgence on school you can certianly see the erosion of our basic of education. Should this continue we will have kids who know nothing about god and nothing about our countries history. I ask the basic question if we do this what are the future leaders of America going to be like? The answer is shocking and that it will be a nation of know nothing kids with no direction in life and worse no nothing about faith and totally lacking in moral caracter. This is wrong for us as a people and a nation to be doing this to our younger generations. The other problem is all the bad debt that is going to be piled onto them from our wastefull excess spending that we do in this nation. We need to reverse this problem too so our kids and grand kids are not saddled with our stupidity of financial mistakes. This being fixed for both us and the younger people along with a change to a good Christian based education will turn out kids with college degrees and a good life foundation in christian faith. These changes are important to do for the well being and productiveness of our younger kids who all need this changes.

Debutante dishonesty!!

Well the morning is allways a new time on creating a list of things to do and places to go. waking up in a world of ungodly persons makes someone feels like the odd man out sometimes. In reflecting on ones own life experiances and who you might date and one day in the future might be married to allways be carefull to get to know ever aspect of a debutante. I am allways remember that passage in the holy bible where Jesus taught the parable that ended with saying a strange women is a deep pit that you can fall into and never get away from the destruction and deceit that such a person of evil origan can do to mans life,liberty and freedom. I see in my own life and the lives of some friends that Jesus is right. My experiance has taught me to look and ask questions from your prospective future women friend or wife what they really think and to check out everything they say all the time. women unfortunately in the later part of the 20 and 21st century have been taught to be a whore and lie,cheat and steal and to be evil. granted some women in our modern times that we live in are good to the heart and the core of values but sadly those that are of good are a small percentage now. I can clearly see the moral code and values of the female gender have erroded to the part of cave prehistoric evil mentality driven by hated and greed. It is shocking to me that a women that I know says with joy and boldness that she uses men and she is hoe short for as she and many other women explain it as being a whore. I recently sat with this women and asked her why she is proud to be a whore and the response I got is that all her women friends are the same. This truely makes me see why the American family as a unit failing because one part of our human race is raising the following generations to have no morals and anything that is evil is now considered to worth great value. The worst of it all is that women of marriage age have adopted Satan and other evil things in there lives instead of reading the bible and following Jesus Christs teachings. So much has been written about the modern family and in perticularly the American family for which I am really concerned about and how it is going to be in the future generations if we as a family and country called America continue to teach the next generations that anything goes and doing evil to your fellow human is ok. Morality used to be a standard by which we as a people and a nation used to do but now we have women getting pregnant for money and strung out on drugs and calling themselves a whore. It worries and concerns me that with this attitude most women have now and self image being very poor how are we as a human race going to survive and prosper in the present and future. Women are a primary component to the family structure and needed to continue the human race. I know when I write articles like this it makes one think that I hate women or that I have a grudge against women but the truth is no and I love women but I am discouraged by the loss of morality and self worth that I see women of my generation x and younger are about now. I wonder if this is just a fad or is this adoption of a permanent shift in female thinking that is the absence of god and any moral or ethics other than anything evil is normal?????.. I do reconize the shift in the last 30 years from good and god to evil now with anything goes and it is ok to what ever you want to do with no morals and ethics. From a Christian point of view which I come from this is very wrong and the holy bible needs to become the backbone of the modern women and American family as well as the rest of this planet earth. This would end the falling apart of the modern family and increase the morals and ethics of everyone. People would many times say that my ideas and opinions are too futureistic or too radical for this new mellenium but then I hear and see the same general complaints from many people I have talked to over the last decade. I find that friends are the most vocal about this shift that I write about in this article and hear about them having to deal with this agony and annoying problem. I think a larger descussion of these problems and ideas is what might help alot of people in perticularly women who are lost in a abyss of lies and faulty ethics and morals. I welcome all comments here bur please no swearing here in your responses.
Jesus and god is the light and the truth for all man and women on earth and reading the holy bible gives you wisdom and knowledge which everyone on earth should do.

I love America and christian bible doctrine even though I have frustration and anger at the loss of our faith in god and our freedom and liberty and our constitution in the origianal form that it was written and adopted for America by Americans.
God bless the good of the world.

Decisions to make!!

Well it is hard to make a decision sometimes when you feel pulled on a few different directions at the same time. Meeting new people is certianly great except when you have to explain how you do a certian task or project and how it all fits intoy way of doing life. Sometimes it is frustrating to fail at having someone else reach hopefully the same conclusion as I have done. There is allways going to be a difference by two persons being different ages but aside from that it is still a daily challenge to just sometimes make any agreement work at all. I really think the older you get the more set in your ways you become and the less you likealing changes in ones life. Yes that might seem cynical but age unfortu
ately does make a difference. I have written many articles over the years about how people do a bout face when meeting Jesus christ and accepting the bible principles into ones life. The sad part is that it usually takes a tragic personal event toake that conversion to Christian faith even if the person had a different viewpoint early in childhood years. Change sure is a funny thing to grasp sometimes in life. I recall many times in my life where change was not for the better of me but then you learn as you age to accept the bitter things as well as the good too in life. This is true of anyone living on earth and seeing a new mellenium unfold as of the time frame that we are in beig the 21st century.

Good Sumaritins Give Starving Puppy A New Life And Love!!!

PROVIDENCE — Michelle Desrosiers has seen many things while driving her dump truck for the Department of Transportation, but she probably won’t forget what an inmate she was working with found on the railroad tracks. Willie On Monday, Desrosiers was working with minimum-security inmates at the Adult Correctional Institutions who were picking up trash along Route 95. As she drove her dump truck northbound near the Eddy Street overpass, an inmate called out to her. There was a tiny dog walking along the railroad tracks, Desrosiers recalled Thursday. When he retrieved the puppy and brought it to Desrosiers, she could not believe her eyes. Nearly every bone in the Chihuahua puppy’s spine was visible. “He was just a skinny bag of bones. I couldn’t believe he that he could actually walk. When the inmate picked him up, the puppy was so content that someone had finally rescued him,” Desrosiers said. Just minutes after the inmate had taken the puppy off the railroad track the train came through, Desrosiers said.
“They should call him Lucky because he got saved twice,” she said. Desrosiers took him to the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, but not before the inmates offered the starving pup some water, which he did not take. He did accept tiny pieces of bologna inmates offered him from their lunch. Dr. E.J. Finocchio, head of the RISPCA, said the puppy weighed 2.3 pounds, about half the weight of a Chihuahua. Finocchio said the puppy is critically ill. Workers named the pup Willie, for Box Car Willie, an American country music singer, because he was found on the railroad tracks. Finocchio sent the pup to the Dighton-Rehoboth Animal Hospital in North Dighton, Mass., where he is being treated and has gained five ounces. Finocchio said Willie is reported to be severely emaciated, dehydrated, anemic and infested with fleas.
Finocchio said the puppy is slowly regaining his appetite and that his recovery will require a lot of care and veterinary costs, which are being covered by the Marvin Fund. Because of the puppy’s severe condition, Finocchio could not say if he would survive. “He deserves a second chance,” he said.

Patrick Swayse Dies Today At Age 57

LOS ANGELES – Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," his publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement Monday evening. Swayze died in Los Angeles, Wolf said, but she declined to give further details.
Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer. He kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot.
Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. The show drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.
When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that. Swayze acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.
"I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."
C. Thomas Howell, who costarred with Swayze in "The Outsiders," "Grandview U.S.A." and "Red Dawn," said: "I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older 'Outsiders' brother.
Other celebrities used Twitter to express condolences, and "Dirty Dancing" was the top trending topic for a while Monday night, trailed by several other Swayze films.
Ashton Kutcher -- whose wife, Demi Moore, costarred with Swayze in "Ghost" -- wrote: "RIP P Swayze." Kutcher also linked to a YouTube clip of the actor poking fun at himself in a classic "Saturday Night Live" sketch, in which he played a wannabe Chippendales dancer alongside the corpulent -- and frighteningly shirtless -- Chris Farley.
Larry King wrote: "Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor & a terrific guy. He put his heart in everything. He was an extraordinary fighter in his battle w Cancer." King added that he'd do a tribute to Swayze on his CNN program on Tuesday night.
A three-time Golden Globe nominee, Swayze became a star with his performance as the misunderstood bad boy Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing." As the son of a choreographer who began his career in musical theater, he seemed a natural to play the role.
A coming-of-age romance starring Jennifer Grey as an idealistic young woman on vacation with her family and Swayze as the Catskills resort's sexy (and much older) dance instructor, the film made great use of both his grace on his feet and his muscular physique.
It became an international phenomenon in the summer of 1987, spawning albums, an Oscar-winning hit song in "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," stage productions and a sequel, 2004's "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," in which he made a cameo.
Swayze performed and co-wrote a song on the soundtrack, the ballad "She's Like the Wind," inspired by his wife, Lisa Niemi. The film also gave him the chance to utter the now-classic line, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
Swayze followed that up with the 1989 action flick "Road House," in which he played a bouncer at a rowdy bar. But it was his performance in 1990's "Ghost" that showed his vulnerable, sensitive side. He starred as a murdered man trying to communicate with his fiancee (Moore) -- with great frustration and longing -- through a psychic played by Whoopi Goldberg.
Swayze said at the time that he fought for the role of Sam Wheat (director Jerry Zucker wanted Kevin Kline) but once he went in for an audition and read six scenes, he got it.
Why did he want the part so badly? "It made me cry four or five times," he said of Bruce Joel Rubin's Oscar-winning script in an AP interview.
"Ghost" provided yet another indelible musical moment: Swayze and Moore sensually molding pottery together to the strains of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody." It also earned a best-picture nomination and a supporting-actress Oscar for Goldberg, who said she wouldn't have won if it weren't for Swayze.
"When I won my Academy Award, the only person I really thanked was Patrick," Goldberg said in March 2008 on the ABC daytime talk show "The View."
Swayze himself earned three Golden Globe nominations, for "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost" and 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," which further allowed him to toy with his masculine image. The role called for him to play a drag queen on a cross-country road trip alongside Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo.
His heartthrob status almost kept him from being considered for the role of Vida Boheme.
"I couldn't get seen on it because everyone viewed me as terminally heterosexually masculine-macho then. But he transformed himself so completely that when his screen test was sent to Steven Spielberg, whose Amblin pictures produced "To Wong Foo," Spielberg didn't recognize him.
Among his earlier films, Swayze was part of the star-studded lineup of up-and-comers in Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," alongside Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez and Diane Lane.
Other '80s films included "Red Dawn," "Grandview U.S.A." (for which he also provided choreography) and "Youngblood," once more with Lowe, as Canadian hockey teammates.
In the '90s, he made such eclectic films as "Point Break" (1991), in which he played the leader of a band of bank-robbing surfers, and the family Western "Tall Tale" (1995), in which he starred as Pecos Bill. He appeared on the cover of People magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991, but his career tapered off toward the end of the 1990s, when he also had a stay in rehab for alcohol abuse. In 2001, he appeared in the cult favorite "Donnie Darko," and in 2003 he returned to the New York stage with "Chicago"; 2006 found him in the musical "Guys and Dolls" in London.
Swayze was born in 1952 in Houston, the son of Jesse Swayze and choreographer Patsy Swayze, whose films include "Urban Cowboy."
He played football but also was drawn to dance and theater, performing with the Feld, Joffrey and Harkness Ballets and appearing on Broadway as Danny Zuko in "Grease." But he turned to acting in 1978 after a series of injuries.
Within a couple years of moving to Los Angeles, he made his debut in the roller-disco movie "Skatetown, U.S.A." The eclectic cast included Scott Baio, Flip Wilson, Maureen McCormack and Billy Barty.
Off-screen, he was an avid conservationist who was moved by his time in Africa to shine a light on "man's greed and absolute unwillingness to operate according to Mother Nature's laws," he told the AP in 2004.
Swayze was married since 1975 to Niemi, a fellow dancer who took lessons with his mother; they met when he was 19 and she was 15. A licensed pilot, Niemi would fly her husband from Los Angeles to Northern California for treatment at Stanford University Medical Center.
In February, Swayze wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post titled, "I'm Battling Cancer. How About Some Help, Congress?" in which he urged senators and representatives to vote for the maximum funding for the National Institutes of Health to fight cancer as part of the economic stimulus package.
He also appeared in the September 2008 live television event "Stand Up to Cancer," where he made this moving plea: "I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, a life not lived in the shadow of cancer, but in the light. ... I dream that the word 'cure' will no longer be followed by the words 'is impossible.'"

Mike Jackson's New Grave Home for Him

GLENDALE, Calif. – One month after a lavish public memorial for
MR. Jackson, the pop singer's family prepared to inter him privately Thursday in a mausoleum filled with legendary entertainers.

On Wednesday, a judge said Jackson's estate will bear the funeral costs, which were characterized by an attorney as "extraordinary." It was disclosed in court that 12 burial spaces were being purchased at Forest Lawn Glendale, about eight miles north of downtown Los Angeles, but no details were offered on how they would be used.

In a declaration filed Wednesday by Katherine Jackson's attorney, Burt Levitch, stated that the cemetery told him the spaces had to be purchased as a unit and could not be subdivided.

"Mrs. Jackson and her family wish to honor her son by a funeral that seeks to offer solace to his multitude of fans and by which the family also may be comforted," Levitch wrote in the declaration.

A copy of the contract with the cemetery filed with the court has been redacted so that costs and details of Thursday's service have been removed.

Jackson will rest in the cemetery's Great Mausoleum with Hollywood stars including Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and W.C. Fields.

Jackson's funeral won't end the legal drama over his drug-induced death at age 50, which authorities have labeled a homicide. No criminal charges have been filed over his June 25 death, which came on the cusp of London concerts meant to restore Jackson to his once-incandescent stardom.

Last week, coroner's officials said they believed Jackson's death was homicide, and his death certificate has been amended to reflect that. It cites "injection by another" as the fatal injury.

Investigators have said a mix of the powerful anesthetic propofol and another sedative killed the pop singer. The new record lists "acute propofol intoxication" as the main cause of death and "benzodiazepine effect" as another significant contributor.

The certificate does not mention Dr. Conrad Murray, who was Jackson's personal physician. He told detectives that he gave the singer a series of sedatives and propofol to try to help him sleep.

The coroner's determination of homicide makes it easier for prosecutors to seek criminal charges, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.

Farrah Fawcett and Her Son Redmond Being Ripped Off Financially By Ex Lover!!

Recent questions have arisen as to why Greg had not seen Farrah in almost 3 years prior to her death. The question I am continually asked “If Greg loved Farrah so much why didn’t he see her?” The answer, "I didn't want to see her like that" Greg stated in his recent interview. Mr. Lott unable to find work, and washing cars in Lubbock, Tx found a way through Farrah to earn extra money selling her pictures and memorabilia online through the website. Greg Lott was contractually bound to send 75% of the proceeds from FarrahFawcett.us to help her charities and ailing father. As Farrah was living her last days, Greg's only mission was to have Farrah sign over her rights to the website and her likeness to him so he could profit further. Ryan O’Neal thwarted those plans by denying Greg access to Farrah when he was here from Texas. Additionally, Greg was advertising on the Farrahfawcett.us his ability to have a “personalized autographed photo of Farrah Fawcett” available for an additional fee. Greg continually sold these pictures to awaiting fans without having the ability to reach or see the dyeing Icon. Questions continually arise as to how these pictures magically contained Farrahs’ personalized wishes to her fans. Complaints of mail fraud, forgery and fraud have been lodged at Greg Lott and FarrahFawcett.us. The website and Farrah’s likeness are owned by Farrah’s estate and ultimately Redmond O’Neal. Today, the website is up and selling Farrah’s merchandise, so Greg is once again profiting from Farrah Fawcett ultimately cheating Farrah’s estate of the money it deserves.

Mike Jackson Funeral August 29th,2009

Michael Jackson will be buried Saturday, August 29, on what would have been the singer's 51st birthday, according to a statement from publicist Ken Sunshine. Katherine Jackson has proposed she or one of her children be added as an executor to Michael's will. The private ceremony will take place at Holly Terrace in The Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, and "will be limited to family and close friends," the statement said. Jackson died June 25 of cardiac arrest. The famed entertainer was 50. Other Jackson plans have moved sluggishly. Monday, a judge delayed his approval of the exhibition agreement between concert promoter AEG Live and the Jackson estate until Friday, when he will hear testimony about why Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, thinks it should be renegotiated. The three-city exhibition of Jackson memorabilia could be derailed, as relations between Jackson's mother, the men Jackson named as executors of his will and the promoter of his planned comeback concerts have been challenging. Questions surrounding Michael Jackson's death and AEG Live's role in his last days are an "obvious source of tension" as Katherine Jackson objects to the agreement, Jackson attorney Burt Levitch said. Michael Jackson's family has "floated" the possibility of filing a wrongful-death lawsuit against AEG Live because of its "very, very active role in Michael's life during the last six months," Levitch said Monday. Levitch said AEG Live "apparently paid for the services of Dr. Conrad Murray, who we're told is under criminal investigation in connection with the decedent's death." Warrants used to search Murray's home and clinics indicated police were investigating his role in Jackson's June 25 death. A source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that Murray gave the anesthetic propofol to Jackson in the 24 hours before he died. "There's an obvious link between AEG and concerns that we have about the decedent's demise," Levitch said. "So, that's one obvious source of tension right now."
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff set a November trial date to hear Katherine Jackson's potential challenge of John Branca and John McClain, who were named as executors in Michael Jackson's 2002 will. Katherine Jackson has proposed that she or one of her children be added as an executor. "We think it's important for the family to have a seat at the table," Levitch said. "It's not just a matter of making a quick buck here." A Jackson family member would be in the best position to guide Michael Jackson's legacy, he said. Beckloff delayed a decision until Friday on Katherine Jackson's objection to the agreement made by Branca and McClain, who are serving for now as special administrators of the estate, to allow AEG Live to produce a Michael Jackson exhibition. Jackson lawyers argued in Monday's hearing that the 50-50 split of profits for the exhibition was too generous to AEG Live, but estate lawyers said they negotiated the best terms possible. AEG Live lawyer Kathy Jorrie said any further delay in approval would cause the company to abandon the deal and the company would not renegotiate. AEG Live would hold the exhibition just as a documentary about Jackson's last months hits theaters at the end of October. "It's important to the world that we present them with the memorabilia at the time the movie is released," Jorrie said. The judge has approved a merchandising agreement and the movie deal, both of which were adjustments to the contract Jackson signed with AEG Live earlier this year for a string of 50 comeback concerts that were to start last month in London, England. Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman said canceling the exhibition deal could cost the Jackson estate $5 million

Making Your Heart of Worship

I am thinking about how importnt god allways is in my life and how wonderfull it is to know that God is allways there for me. Its great to know that you have God to learn on when you succed or fail at things in life but just knowing he is supporting your walk on earth really helps alot. I allway think he needs more of me than probabily what I give to him as I feel that that is something that one has to be diligent to him. I find it interesting how other people relate to God on a daily basis  much differently than I do and see his good
deeds done sometimes through these very same people that I know. The old addage that God works good in mystery ways I feel really holds true cause you don't allways see what he is doing until sometimes later after the event has happened and then you go say to yourself gee why did I not think of that myself.. The heart of worship to God is loyalty,praise,prayer such as with out these components your probabily going to be ignored and passed over for things in your life that you need and want. Praise and loyalty are the way to  be accepted by God and prayer is the messager to which God listens to your needs and yes your wants too. I frequently see throughout my life time many people who think that you can get God to listen to you if you just make promises and never follow  through on them. This is how ones life fails with God which in turn sours your relationship with god and he will not trust in you if you do this to him. I just wanted say that worship is much more than going to church and singing and clapping as I have seen in other Christian based churches that I have been to over the last few decades. it really is missed that worship is about how you are and how God feels about you and what are you giving to support the causes that he supports. Life with God is about giving and caring about others not about how much more you can be self centered and all about me type attitude. Everyone goes through some self doubt and shame about how they failed to do bettter at alot of things but God only judges you on your attention to him and not your possesionsin life. if you only concentrate on your own interest then your not seeing all the good that God has brought to you. I think this is important for people in general to remember since most people have a attention span of a a few seconds. Gods wants and demands your full attention span so he can make your life better and the cooperation from you in order for you to grow with him and yes that is the real heart of worship in th modern age. This really represents what kind of relationship with him that you have or don't have and it is important to allway to become closer to God as you you grow older and hopefully wiser too. Lifes get better if you have God on your side and allso have a understanding of what he wants and needs you to do for him on earth as this is how ones life is turned from a bad life to something great and wonderfull..

Farrah Fawcett Being Ripped Off Again By Former Lover!!!!!

In clear violation of the "cease and desist order" by Farrah Fawcett's estate. In light of all the customer complaints and accusations of fraud to the FBI and the Postal Inspectors. With customers still complaining that they have yet to receive the items they bought prior to Farrah's death. Despite all of this Greg Lott has decided in his wisdom, to put publish the FarrahFawcett.us website. Yes he's selling Farrah's pictures and memorabilia. At least he took down "proceeds go to charity" line from the website. Now just assuming here, the car washing gig, didn't make enough money to produce all the items that were backlogged to awaiting customers. My theory Greg is taking orders on new items to make money to produce the items to sell to the awaiting customers. Now this is very similar to what Bernie Maddoff did to his many clients, it's called a ponzi scheme. Named after the famous con man Charles Ponzi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme. Now I have reported before, that Greg Lott, attempted to see Farrah to sign over her rights in the website to Greg aka (Relentless Corp) for 10.00. I see the website is owned Relentless Corp. Now I know that Greg did not get FF permission to put this site up and no contracts were signed when Greg Lott was here as he was unable to see Farrah. So how did he get the permission to publish this site and in essance take money again from Farrah's Estate.???? Answer=He's stealing from Farrah Fawcett and she is dead and cannot respond to him doing this to her which is very sad. If Farrah knew about this happening now and she be living today she would rip this guy a new butt for the things he's doing wrong.

Struggling with Mail Programs

I just have to sit here and vent my total frustration with e-mail programs today. I have am trying to get a mail program to work on my system here and it is the most agravating thing to do since it is supposed to be so easy to just connect it to any remote mail server and download your mail. the documentation says it is easy but that is just a real lie cause every time I try to get this program to connect to the remote server I get another strange kind of error. I have tried alot of different mail programs but this Thunderbird Mail is supposed to be the easiest to use and I do like it but try to get it to work with any other account besides Gmail and it does not work.. Yahoo and the rest of the mail accounts I have and don't seem to work with it but yet it does support multi account and multi identities all in the same program.. I got another error when trying to connect it to Yahoo early this morning which says unable to send user login information and pop user is not allowed access. Hmmmm.. I got to say in 30 years of computer usage I thought I pretty much encountered most every error that computers and the internet could throw at me but this one has me stumped. I am trying to use thunderbird mail program and would like help if someone online has any ideas or suggestions just leave it in the comment section or e-mail me if you know the solution to this problem. Oh.. yes and one other thing it is doing is to ask for the password to my yahoo account then I type the correct password and then it gives me a wierd error response message telling me pop user not allowed. I have have played around with the server settings but that does not seem to fix the problem which usually is the right solution and fixes the server assignment issue. I look down at the left side bar at the bottom of the screen and it says I am connected to yahoo mail host but fails in sending login information which totally puzzles me as to why it is doing this.. If any one can help me it sure would be appreciated and maybe you can tell me why all mail programs are really hard to get Yahoo and Hotmail to work wiith... Oh by the way Gmail works just fine!! Why does Yahoo allways be a pain in the neck just like Hotmail does the same thing to setup and use with remote mail programs like Thunderbird and Windows Mail and other programs like it?? I think they do it so only advanced computer users can figure out how to use it and get the benefits out of the program..

Please Support Farrah's Law And Farrah Fawcett's Legacy

The proponent of Rihanna’s Law, is now also backing Farrah’s Law which will make it much easier to prosecute individuals who leak and buy stolen private medical information. Leaking private crime victim photos, such as in Rihanna’s case, is bad enough, but what happened to Farrah Fawcett is an absolute outrage and something must be done immediately. Farrah’s private medical information was outright SOLD to the tabloids by a UCLA Medical Center employee.

Farrah Fawcett said in a recent interview, “I’m holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer that may not be very clear to me now, that I will do.” Farrah expressed her indignation over UCLA Medical Center employees leaking her private medical information to the tabloid press, namely The National Enquirer. Perhaps the enactment of Farrah’s Law, legislation making it illegal for medical staff, or others who may have access, to leak private medical information to the media, whether they are paid for that information or not, will be something good to come out of the anguish Farrah has had to endure. “As in Rihanna’s Law, the issue is the distribution of illegally obtained PRIVATE information, to the press, not the exchange of money. Even if law enforcement is unable to prove money changed hands, that should make it no less of a crime. The detrimental effects of these leaks are the same whether the information is sold or given away for free. The monetary aspect of it would be an additional criminal charge. Farrah’s Law, inspired by Farrah’s horrific ordeal of betrayal by her own medical care providers, is currently in the works. To support her cause Farrahslaw.com is an online petition people can sign to show their support. It shines a bright light on the dire need for reform in this area of privacy protection not only for celebrities and public figures, but for all individuals. Medical records are something no unauthorized person should have access to, especially not the press.

I’m holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer that may not be very clear to me now, that I will do. Seems there are areas that should be off limits Ironically the employee guilty of selling the stolen medical information, has since died of cancer. It was found the hospital staff member’s husband was paid $4600.00 for information Farrah’s cancer had returned. “Seems there are areas that should be off limits,” stated Farrah in CNN interview. Worrying about the press getting a hold of her medical records and publishing her condition to the world before she can share it with her family is something a person fighting cancer should not have to even worry about. Recovery should be her only concern at this moment but instead she has had to spend the past months battling anxiety and frustration over stories printed by tabloids who should have never been able to obtain the information let alone print the stolen private information.

To show support for Farrah’s Law and help make what she endured into a positive legacy, go to http://www.FarrahsLaw.com (FarrahsLaw) and sign the online petition.

Market News

I just am going to update the market events for this day by saying that stocks are on a rolling coaster ride down hill  and the current smarket is at minus 10.13.. This is to be expected to continue as more bad economic data comes out from the Fed and US Treasury showing a really bad economy. While more from other income sectors showing a real loss in consumer spending and credit card and bank companies charging higher interest rates on consumer and home loans this month this causing more pain for everyone. To add insult to everything more banks are on the Fed bank failure list and are slated to fail and close by the end of the year resulting in a loss of of consumer confidence in our financial system. Lawmakers are also talking about a second stimulis package to boost the sagging economy and promote growth in all current weakened sectors of goods and services. If this package does become reality then you will see Wall Street grow more conservitive and a worse stock and bond market down turn will happen in the not to distant future. The last stimulis package signed into law caused the current bad economics and increased the national debt to about 56 trillion dollars which we ae all going to eventually have to pay back. My thought is that this is terrible policy and we should repeal this package and other like it and stop spending money that we and our kids and grand kids are all going to be saddled with paying back over a long time. We should also go back to a standard of gold and silver as currency as a primary monatary funding for the whole country or at least back up all of the paper money with precious metals. This would give us a backing in hard times when we really need it and promote real growth and a better growth rate to all sectors of our economy that are hurting right now. I think that by using gold and silver coins are real net worth would increase over time and maybe we could begin to erase the burden of the debt that we as a nation and do the right thing by dealing with being 56 trillion we now owe for our wastefull spending habits. This would then start a new economic expansion that would effect every person living in America and increase the level of income for everyone not just the rich but also the poor too who need it the most. This would be put our nation in a recovery that we really need and help better everyone in business and Wall street grow bigger, faster and eventually make us a nation of being debt free which we need very much to become sooner.

Stock Market Positive Gain And Debt

It is said that hwen the down is down surely it will have a rebound and that is just what it did this week. In heavy trading it closed out the week with a gain of 17.15 with alot of swing on news from the housing and banking sectors reporting better than expected earning for this quarter. In other news Fed Boss Ben Bernake said that the overhaul of the fed interest rate combined with better than expected earnings for corporate America this year have fueled another possible bullish economy. I think if you look at the real figures we are still gripped with a bad recession and a slow down of manufacturing which shows a different kindof economic sluggishness currently. Overall though the market and certian sectors of our economy are doing better than what the Fed and US Treasury thought would happen and that is great but main street America is really being hurt by the Federal growing debt and the banks going out of business. One look at the bank failure list tells the true story about the overall economic health of America which is that our economy is really hurting and so is everyone at the lower income level. This in turn is reflected on Wall Street and the market go down and it then is reflected in a loss in paying jobs and earnings for all companies in America. I think we all could benifit if we learned to save money and invest it in stocks and saving accounts in stead of how most people are doing things these days. That old addage is true (a penny saved is a penny earned )and learning to cut up the credit cards sure helps to bring ones debt load to zero and own everything is better way of doing things.I think we all need to start being a nation of zero debt and own everything again just like we were before credit was invented.. This would help reverse the trend away from total bankruptcy that we are unfortunately heading as a nation and bring our economy back to good health again. Consumer spending is down becuase we are not realizing our goals of growth due to our willingness to charge everything on credit instead of paying cash for everything and this is a huge problem for all of America. My hope is that soon we will not be a debt burdened nation and our wealth as a nation will be in gold and products and services that we can all be proud to call made in America.

Stock Market Change Coming

Hello Everyone,  I want to let everybody know that the tech aand energy sector stock are going to be a good buy in the next few weeks. The market is very busy going down after alot of bad economic data coming from the housing and job markets. Some sort of reversal from the current market gloom is coming in the next couple of weeks and it will be very profitable if as a investor gets in on it. Banks are hurting right now and the rest of the financial sytem is going bad but there is some bright spots especially in oil and commerce today. So look ahead to a better market in the coming months as corporate America restructuring and new mergers become a way for the big companies to stay in business. We are all cost cutting on personal income budgets and corporate America is forced to do the same to become more effeciant or face going out of business. Personal income is down and our national debt is going to shoot the moon soon if we fail to control our spending. This is the keys to understanding where we are going as a nation and how much we as Americas can afford to spend on the present and future. The next generations are the ones who are going to really hurt by are wastefull spending habits and that is going to also cause another stock market crash in the future worse than the crash in 1929 and more recently this past year. We all have seen the how the stock markets and corporate America react when things get bad which is to cut cost.  That is going to continue to do this unless we stop wasteing our valuable resources and reinvest in our growth and save money instead of spending it like we are at a non stop party function. I just thinking about these things today and wanted to share them with the readers of this blog. There is some good companies to invest in but pick the right ones and watch your money grow is how you get ahead with this market volitility..

Learning How To Investment

Think of all the people on Wall Street whoo have made alot of money on stcok investing is mind boggling. I am now trying to learn how to to the same thing that millions of wealthy have been doing for decades and that is making lots of money. It is allways interesting to me how people made themselves financialy rich doing not much actual labor to get there. I can see I missed the boat earlier in my life because my parent's told me to work hard labor jobs and one day you will be a success and I bought into it unfortunately. The truth is I did do those hard labor jobs and now that I am older I can see that is no way to ever get and retain wealth. I am greatfull to a few friends who showed me that stock investing is easy and it can make you very rich if you do the trading in the market correctly. I wish I had known all this in my 20 something age and started doing it then instead of doing it in my 40's now. Well, I guess your never to late to learn something new and try new ideas and hope that those things bring you wealth and happyiness. One thing that is about this investment thing is that there is too much to learn and it is too easy to burn out on information overload. Learning what you need to know is only the beginning of doing trading on the stock market as there is so much charts and different things to understand before you can trade sucessfully and not lose all your money. I am happy to say that the seminars I have gone to over the last few years have helped me alot in understanding what you have to do to make a great deal of money on each trade you buy and sell. I know now that without the seminars I have gone to i probabily would not have learned as much as I do know now about investing wisely in ones own future. So here I am newer to this way of making money and creating wealth and I can say it is challenging. You get to think this is so frustrating at times too because of the amout of daily information you need to learn and picking the right stock or funds to do our investment in a volitile market. I say this is not the type of money making that most people are told by family and parents to do but it is something if you can learn  and it will bring you great joy and satifaction when you trade on the open market stock and all types of funds that are available to the small investor.

Most Banks are Seeking New Ways To Profit

Some banks are aggressively seeking deposits, and that often translates into higher yields for savers.
For instance, Discover Bank of New Castle, Del., best known for its Discover Card, has a 3.75% yield on a $2,500-minimum, 10-year IRA Certificate of Deposit. It began allowing CDs as an IRA investment, a rarity for an online bank, last November.
The bank, which has $51 billion in managed assets, also announced an online savings account paying 2% with a $500-minimum deposit, on July 7. That's the same day it priced more than 54 million shares of a common stock offering.

Farrah Fawcett Love Letters

This is a love letter that Farrah wrote which shows that she loved and cared about all the people in her life . This letter also shows the Christian faith filled women that not many people knew about until she did the cancer documentry that told her story of the awefullness of cancer. She allways wrote her true heart and was very open about it all her life except to the media. Even as her life came to a end she still loved God and everyone around her so this is a good woman that got a really bad illness and suffered greatly from it for a very long time.. Sad to say that she is not alive today to continue her vision and educate the world as she did with her film features about her life struggle with a terrible illness and she showed everyone on earth her real kindness and grace and love to the world. Farrah's life was about real life and not so much about the film and modeling career that she did as a job even though she was passionate about her career too.
I Miss you Farrah and you are very special women who is not to be forgotten...

Government Agentcies Mistake

I thought I would just update the situation with the Veteran's Administration problem today. I called them a number of times at the insurance division office and my last phone call on July 9th I got a apology from the agent in charge who said they mailed out a letter to my mothers address in my name demanding repayment of the insurance check that they sent me. In her words after looking over my fathers Veterans Administration file she found that the Veterans Adminstration had made a mistake in sending me the letter and someone in the insurance claims office in Philidelphia PA. had screwed up the file and input the wrong information in the computer system which in caused me to recieve the letter. So I got a opps were sorry for the error and we just fixed it now in response to your complaint and sorry we caused you so much trouble. I requested the check copies from the two checks that both my mother and I recieved last June so as to have proof of the mistake that the Veterans Administration has made if I ever have to call them again. I just recieved in the mail those check copies and a short letter from the insurance claims manager Yolanda Petty who sent this letter to me with the documents in the envelope. I was told the last time I called this Agentcy that the matter is resolved and no need to repay the money to us as we had allready checked out your insurance claim before we ever mailed you the check. So I am told I don't ever have to contact this Veterans Administration again about this matter or for anything else related to my Dad's file and it is permanently closed since 2008. I sure hope I am getting the right story from these people and not more lies as I have to assume the lieing part from past experiance with most government agentcies. I hope this is finally resolved and I don't need to contact them or anyone else pertaining to this problem with my Father's V.A. File and insurance policy...

Farrah Fawcett Betrayed By Friends

In my personal letter that is posted on this site and heard around the world, I showed video of O'Neal romping on the beach with a brunette as well as some other unidentified women. O’Neal during this time was allegedly, asking a 20 year old for sex acts in exchange for a car. To my knowledge that case is still pending, now O'Neal is not married and could not marry Farrah as she could not or did not accept his proposal. However, that is beside the point, O'Neal, is constantly on TV, and in news broadcasts crying and stating Farrah is the love of his life. My issue has always been, if Farrah is the love of his life, life partner, soul mate, or what other new word definition you can come up with to describe your relationship. Let me make this clear, only a low life, morally bankrupt individual, romps on the beach with other women, while the soul mate is in a bed dying of cancer. It is obscene that a person would go on TV expressing his undying love while frolicking with other women. This is a lack of respect for the woman herself, and no different than what Senator Edwards pulled. I am weary of this obscenity of a human being (Ryan O’Neal) being taken seriously or even getting his opinion printed let alone even entertained. There are many people out there, (that have written me) that believe the same thing. The big question is why is the evidence, news reports, etc being ignored for the statements of this individual.
Additionally, we brought to the attention of everyone that Alana is actually the woman she is exposed to be. We alerted everyone on the statements that were made by Alana, the camera person, her ethics etc. to her motives for cashing in on this tragedy. We exposed the fact that the diary was missing, statement made on tape within the journal, eyewitness etc all stating the same thing. All ignored.
My original question stands. Who moved the rock and let these people crawl out. Who does this? It just amazes me.
Griffin O’Neal and Greg Lott are working very hard to expose the truth. They should be listened too and applauded. This takes strength, and the man deserves our respect.

Comment; I wanted to post this today because this comes from a close friend of Farrah and so it should be known how bad she was abused and used for her wealth and fame. I have to say that I am greatfull for the author of the article published by this nice person who knew Farrah very well. It is about time that my dearest Farrah be given through God the real truth of her life and it is sad to me that all but a few people were really there for her ever in her life. I can see that now that Farrah is gone nobody is really caring about her and honoring her for all the wonderfull good she did as a loving caring Christian faith filled women. It is terrible to see her friends trash her and make money off her last days on earth while watching and waiting for her to die.. I personally think that anyone who does this to Farrah is a awefull person and lacks in moral caracter not to mention but I will that it is lacking in basic humanity to do this to Farrah. I can say for certian that when they start dieng from some fatal illness they will reach out to God and he will probabily do nothing to help them even though he could do amazing mericles and save them but I would be willing to guess that he will let the punishment stand and they will die miserable and be planted. God gives to the good and not to the wicked and as it says in Matthew in the Bible and he never changes the way he does anything and you can count on that allways. I think it is wonderfull what Farrah did in making the documentry about her life and battle against cancer and I will allway love her for her humanity and courage and much more.. Farrah Darling your were the real woman in my life and I honor and cherish you and all that you lovingly gave to the world of earth. Farrah I wish you could have read my letters and gotten to know a real good man here. One who would not have used you for your money and fame but instead allways be there for you including at your bedside on your last days of life on earth and cared for you in every way. I feel my way of treating you would have made you see the difference and you would have left all but a few of these people in your life behind permanently and you would never have looked back as you Farrah would have been very happy being with me. I know you died Farrah but you are not gone to me and I hope that you are allways remembered for the loving person you are and were on earth. I will continue to honor you in every way I can including putting flowers on your grave as often as I can do it because you are special to me and you deserve this Farrah. I also want to say that Farrah's vision and use of the documentry is for helping people with cancer and all fatal illneses have a voice for all the sick people of the world. I can say also that Farrah in no way would have wanted anyone make money off of her miserable lifes end with cancer. I think Farrah really wanted to show what life is about when you get cancer and the things you go though to keep living longer and use her own life as a model for education to the world which is wonderfull to do..
God Bless Farrah Fawcett!!!

Ryan O’Neal may not be the loving, doting partner he’s portrayed himself to be, according to several of Farrah’s friends and family members. They have come forward with surprising accusations including that Ryan became too close to her best friend Alana Stewart. “They were sharing a room together,” Ryan’s son Griffin O’Neal, who is estranged from his father, but is still close with other family member and friends, tells In Touch. But a rep for both Ryan and Alana denies any impropriety. Javier Salazar, a hired companion for Redmond for the past year, also confirms to In Touch that he thinks “Ryan and Alana’s relationship was fishy.” In fact, Griffin reveals that Farrah’s father, Jim, once visited her from Houston when she was ill and walked in on Ryan and Alana together in a spare bedroom. Griffin says. “It made Jim uncomfortable, so he packed his bags and went home.” “Ryan and Alana are a little too cozy with each other,” a former business associate of Farrah’s tells In Touch. “It is raising eyebrows. They both stayed at Farrah’s in the end.” And in May, family friend Dania Marin filed a restraining order against Ryan after he allegedly sexually harassed her for phone sex. “He freaked me out,” she says.
According to Griffin, “Ryan was using Farrah for her money and fame.” Farrah, who Griffin says was worth about $20 million, may not have left anything to Ryan in her will. “Redmond will get most of that if he can keep it together,” Griffin adds. According to Griffin, Farrah stayed with Ryan for so long “for Redmond. Just to let him know they were a family unit.” But Griffin said Ryan was never a good father to Redmond or his other three children — Griffin, Tatum, 45, and Patrick, 41. In addition to never celebrating the kids’ birthdays and never getting them Christmas presents, “He set no boundaries,” the former business associate says. “He never wanted to be a father. It was too much responsibility for him. He liked the kids around as long as it didn’t interfere with him. If he and Farrah were watching a movie, he’d try to shoo Red from the room.” “He was violent all my life to all of the kids,” Griffin claims. “He punched my teeth out when I was 16. He shot a gun at me once and missed. He’s an uncaring man.” Ryan described his actions as self-defense.

Comment; I can't help but to print this part of the story about how much pain my Darling Farrah must have gone through all the last years of her life and how she might not have known that the people in her life were using her for money and she sadly did not know this fact. I am sure that if she did talk more to her family that she would have come to getting rid of these people called friends.. I understand her wanting her kids to have a dad but in the end it cost her everything she loved and that is not right.. Slowly and surely the real facts and truth are starting to come out but is too late for Farrah to know them since dieing and having her funeral last month. I wish you were still living Farrah my dear that I could then help you with your lifes problems... I am personally sad and mad over how Farrah is treated and how she is being remembered by all these people in her life. I would have treated you Farrah with the love and everything you need and much different being a christian way and not the way your friends have done to you this year and past years of your precious life my dearest Farrah Fawcett...

Spending Time Making Changes

I thought to would sit here and write something about making changes in life and what it means to start doing something new. I am going to launch a new company soon and in fact this week if I can finnish all the needed paperwork. I really hate doing the paperwork and the costs it takes to put together a new business but i am going to do this anyway cause I am not happy with my current way of doing things. I wish that you did not have to go though submitting lots of Federal and State forms just to be self employed and make a living wage to support yourself. Sadly it is made increasing more difficult to become a new businesss and to stay in business for a long time because of expanding government regulations. This week I have decided to start doing a new business that I never have done before and hope it becomes a success over the long term. I has been a few years since I have done any kind of self employment and so i feel I am rusty at doing it but I realize if I don't do this then nothing is going to change for the better fo me. In doing this new business and other business ideas that I have I hope to be able to change my finance situation and also buy a different home that is bigger and nicer than the one I own which is too small for me. Basically I am tired of the home I have and want something better and I need the money to get this home and other things too that I don't have now so this is good motovation for doing this business ventures. I want to do radical changes in my life and so this week I am going to start doing those changes for the better and happyiness of me... I hope I will succeed with my plan and become a happier person from the plan i am going to be doing.. This is all I got to say today and hope for the best to come to me sooner...

Farrah's Friends

Alana Stewart rushes to cash in with book about her friend Farrah Fawcett
Who will be the first to cash in on the death of FARRAH FAWCETT? Less than a week after the brave icon's funeral, her close friend Alana Stewart is first out of the gate and well ahead of the pack with a book based on the Farrah's cancer journey journal that was supposed to be the basis for her cancer documentary."My Journey with Farrah: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Friendship" has shown up on Amazon.com with a healthy discount off its hardcover list price of $23.99.As . the celebrity ex-wife's book is being rush-released to take advantage of the worldwide outpouring of love and publicity for Farrah.The title is set to be pblished on August 25th, the two-month anniversary of Farrah's death. Alana Stewart accompanied Farrah through much of her cancer battle, traveling with her to German cancer clinics and running the video camera as Farrah documented the cutting edge treatments that gave her hope and extended her life by years after doctors in the States told her there was nothing more they could do. Working with her longtime confidante and producer Craig Nevius, Farrah shaped the footage into a "cancer journal" that explored the question of why lifesaving treataments are not available in America and beyond the reach of most all but the very rich.Farrah sold the project to NBC. When her condition took a turn for the worse and she began to fade from consciousness, her longtime on-and-off lover Ryan O'Neal took control of her affairs, forced Nevius off the project and, with the help of producers from NBC Dateline commandeered the recutting of the documentary into a maudlin, morbid entertainment called "Farrah's Story" (a reference to his 1970 film, Love Story).Alana Stewart reportedly held up the project, demanding a producer's credit and a fat payoff, before the special aired. the day before Farrah's death that Alana was turning Farrah's journals into a book of her own:"Farrah's journals, we're told, are being turned into a book by Alana Stewart... The book, we're told, will be announced after Farrah's passing, 'for maximum effect.'"At the reception following Farrah's funeral on Tuesday, Ryan O'Neal confirmed that a sequel to the high-rating Farrah's Story is in the works. Cameras filmed the funeral. It's still not known whether, as feared, O'Neal also filmed Farrah's passing.

I love you Farrah darling and miss you alot and this is very sad that you are still being used by people who had only the purpose of using you for money. This is one of many reasons why I am publishing this article today because I am hurt over the way you are being treated and remembered. I wish you were still living Farrah and got to know me personally because I never would have treated you this way your friends have done to you. You would have lived your life with me and allways be treated very good and I would have looked out for you and taken care of your needs. I am hurt over you being used and abused by these people and so i have to add my feelings to this today.

Resolving Issues With a Government Agentcy

I have one heck of a time trying to resolve a issue with the US Dept. of Veterens Affairs over the last couple of days in calling them because of recieving a letter about five weeks ago and unfortunately lost the letter. It is nice when you actually talk to someone who is nice to you and willing to help you but it can be frustrating as heck to have to call many different parts of the same agentcy in a couple of different states and get many different responses. I find this to be true in trying to resolve a issue in a letter I mistakenly lost about about five weeks ago and now finally got the right phone numbers from the internet after pouring through several thousand doucuments and different parts of this agentcy from the Veterens Administration web site on the internet. It is very frustrating to try and find where to make a call to as the web site and the people you talk to allways refer you to another call another phone number and mailing address just for one simple issue as to wether or not the letter sent to me was a valid demand for payment or it is a fraud letter trying to get money from me either in the Veterans Administration or someone who is in another part of this country trying to committ fraud against me.. I truely after calling six different phone numbers and talking to alot of people in different parts of this agentcy am still puzzled as to what to make out of this problem and to do about it.. I would pay it if the letter is for real but what I keep being told is that the there is nothing wrong with my dad's file for his life insurance policy that he had. The Veterens Affairs offices I have spoken to so far on the phone don't see any complaint in his file or demand for repayment of the money nor do they see any letter mailed to me but only one letter dated June 9th was mailed to my mothers address here. I recieved as part of the my fathers insurance settlement that he wanted me to have and the Veterans Administration paid on the claim made by me after they just admitted to researching the claim before paying any money to me and family after my Dad died in Oct. 29,2007...He did put my name on it and and family and the first Veterans insurance representive spent a long time on the phone with me and said that she does see that I am a benefiterary on his life insurance policy that no letter was ever mailed to me and his file shows no demand for repayment of the insurance check of $3169.08 that they gave to me by mail. I just called the St. Paul Minnisota regional office and the Philidelpia Pennilvania office which handles insurance claims and collections on those claims and the women named Kim Perri told me that I don't owe them anything and further more were puzzled looking at my Dad's records why any letter would be sent to me at all since my Dad's file has been closed for a little over a year now. I also called the Dept. of Debt Management Center in Saint Paul Minnisota and the women I spoke to today that also no letter was ever mailed to me demanding repayment of the insurance money and nothing in my dad's file shows anything of a unpaid debt for my dad or from me and my mother. I recieved the money according to Veterens Administration in Philidelphia,Pa which handles insurance claims the claim that my mother and I both and cousin Barbara made was valid and his file was then closed June 09,2008 after the payment was sent to me and my mother and my cousin Barbara. The two representives at the regional office in Philidelphia on named Kim Perri and the other named Maira Stumplewood told me that the lettter was a hoax and so did the other representives I talked to at Debt Management and Pension Benifits all told me the same thing no letter was mailed to me for demand for repayment of the money I recieved and told me my fathers account is correct and just fine no reason to contact us again about this issue. I still was told to be sure about it that just mail a handwritten letter to the Veterens Administration at a post office box address for this agentcy respond to by mail. I am still not certian if I am being lied to by the reps at the Veterens Administration and even if any thing was real about the letter. I just am not sure at all since I have been burned by government agentcys before and so I lack trust in most of them. One thing is for certian is I decided to still write the letter anyway today to the address I have been given and hope for a reponse from the Veterans Administrations and I am told today that if nothing wrong on the response from the Agentcy office in Philidelphia,PA then just forget about it and I was oppolgized to by the last representive that I talked to on the phone at the Veterans Affairs call center for what she calls a Agentcy error on the part of the Veterans Administration. I have to say humm?? cause I don't know what to believe and who is telling the truth or just lieing to save their job and or it is for real and I will have to pay back the money.. Lots of questions I have about this issue and still feel someone is trying to do something bad to me after the all the phone calls I have made to this government agentcy.. Is it a legal trap diliberately set for me hoping I won't be able to pay the money back and go to prison the rest of my life or is it a hoax and somebody in goverment again trying to defraud me as has happened before to me or someone else is printing this scam letter trying to get money from me???? This is the questions I have about this issue after this Veterans Administration file on my father has been closed for a year now and what more I can do to resolve it I am not sure but I will try to do this so no legal problems come from it.

Pop Star Mike Jackon's Funeral Today

Today Is Mike Jacksons funeral in Los Angles California and I want to comment on his Life. He was a different kinds of man that created his own type of music and that he did this well was a true statement. I never liked his music but as a musician myself I certianly do appreciate him for becoming a mega star and joining the ranks of being a great celebrety. I am a guitar player and keyboard man myself so I have a general understanding of how you get to be good at music but Mike Jackson created a new music style and genre all on his own. I think it is great to do something like this and be a great success as he made himself in the 1980's and through to the 2000 years . I did think he was strange in his life choices but from everything I know he used his fame and wealth to help the less fortunate people of earth and he believed in God that made him a good person. I don't think all that the bad in his life was really what the news media made him out to be as a bad person but instead a man just trying to do a great career and raise his kids on his own terms. Well the world lost a great music star and a really creative talent but his music and fame I believe will live on just like Elvis Presley did and so it it with this honor I say good bye to a living legend today as he has his funeral and is buried today and hope he is never forgotten for all the good he did in life. Mike Jackson Rest In Peace with God!!!!
