We the people!

I've had a brain storm on how to start solving the whole gun control issue mess.

The constitution reads "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state , the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Bye-bye left big toe! update

Now, I stubbed my left big toe and it got infected and during my New York week/Film School/Seminar it became gangrenous.

Staph somehow found it's way into my spine which decked me.

By bye left big toe!

This is going to be short and sweet.

I took Amtrak to a film-school/seminar in NYC.

I got home in the A.M. and crashed into my bed.

Got up a couple of hours later and collapsed and couldn't get up.

Called 911.

I''ve been hospitalized for a couple of weeks now… Read full post »

MCD  

April 19th is National Hiring Day at McDonalds.

McDonalds has a strict drug-free workplace testing program.
