I had an ongoing email pen-pal thing going w/ David Carr in the last couple of years of his life, starting when I sent a random email to his NY Times account to compliment an article he'd written on addiction (I'm a drug counselor). He was so gracious and kind and wrote me a much longer reply than I'd ever expected.…

I feel for you but find it unfair to say there's a lie going on about "no one" being able or wanting to help. I am a counselor, so maybe I'm more attuned to this than your layman, but I've seen a major change just in the past 10,20 years on how people understand, empathize, and even help the seriously mentally ill or…

this is actually a really amazing, cool concept- that would just be like a record screeching across a needle.

oh god, they were on NPR's FRESH AIR w/ my girl Terry Gross last night. I was actually laughing hysterically in my car while I drove home from a 15 hr workday, depressed about having to find new housing after 9 years, and feeling miserable. Thanks, Lonely Island Guys. I'll go see your movie now.

unlike the following assholes I've met in my lifetime:
Jeff Goldblum, Macaulay Culkin, Kevin Connolly, and the biggest PRICK of all, ALEX TREBEK.
(that is a joke, but I did ride my bike into him in NYC and he was an angry, nasty bastard after that one.)

you are correct. I believe he had that horrible Nate-killing brain disease from SIX FEET UNDER. As someone who had cancer at 12 and likes to live w/ a certain "it is what it is and nothings that important in the big scheme of things" attitude, I assumed that was always his outlook, too. Also seems like a great dad,…

burn! Nailed it.

nah, she weighs like, 73 lbs.

his reason was she didn't do what he felt needed done, in the movie he wrote and directed, and he's perfectly capable and allowed to criticize her performance. And entourage. Christ, when someone is saying you have more of an entourage and problems than Adam Levine- she must be a monster.

MY 4 day weekend was ruined by Bullshit, so bad my 4-day weekend was a regretful mess. I adopted a shelter puppy last week- w. my landlord of 10 years permission, given on the phone to the shelter and also, in my lease- after my 15 yr old dog died a few weeks back. I have a 10 and 2 yr old daughters who fell in love…

best knock knock joke I ever heard, by my 8 yr old nephew about 20 yrs ago:

thanks Obama

it's Yutes.

that's bad!
(though I'm not sure what potassium benzoate is; it might be good.)

yeah, It's the music that leads to the shootings and murders and black culture/society being torn apart. —Alternate Universe Tipper Gore, 1985

no, no, no, Tandy. Not cool. We just lost our 15 yr old dog last week and I brought home a shelter adoption yesterday. Life is too short to NOT have an animal you take care of, or to rescue a life from misery in a shelter/pound. It's tough to lose them- do not get me wrong, my home has been a veil of tears and…

I thought it was Austrian for "Good riddance". Boo-yah! (That was cruel. I'm sure somewhere, someone, actually liked Mr. B as a human being and not just a conservative shill.)

oh, shit I got a puppy yesterday! I adopted a shelter dog we named Penny - even though we wanted to stick w/ the BUFFY theme, wherein all our pets were named after characters (cat Willow, dog Buffy, tarantula Drusilla, fish Giles) and she's 3 months old. My old dog (my avatar, Buffy) died last week at 15 (she was 3mos…

$650 in a month? SHiiiiiiit, no decent crazy Puerto Rican drywall water selling ex-gangbangin' alcoholic uneducated ex-felon should be unable to make that happen. Christ, I can raise that in a day down on the pier, and I'm a big fat white boy. Come on, Friendo, get working!

or, he was hungry and it looked good?
but is that really a crime? Waiting at the table, instead of standing 10 feet away at the door waiting? My guess is like, he picked up a french fry and ate it. I've done shit like that, and I ain't no big-time Hollywood Celebrity TV Movie person!
