Byron BrownMy blog post about Byron Brown is a little more amusing than Joshua's.
My mom and I did the City Hall tour and during the tour you get to go into the Mayor's office. It's a large room with 2 or 3 office rooms inside that room.
Byron Brown was in the main office area. He stopped and greeted my mom and me. And my mom stuck out her hand right out and said, "Hi Byron, how are you."
I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the day that my mom was on first name basis with the mayor.

I don't think I can draw humor out of the subject of Byron Brown. That is a very dry well indeed.

Byron Brown doesn't deserve or merit security like that.

His office lost a packet of documents and a deadline was hours away. So I walked to his office to have his secretary sign them. Of course, they wouldn't let me in. The armed guard at the door refused to let me enter.
Funny how his doors are wide open for tours.

I shook his hand too and said hi as a bonus at the Susan G. Komen race but he didn't donate spit at our "Spit for the Cure" campaign. Bleh

Known to me as anotherThere is an artist played on the Top 40 Country radio stationa whose songs I enjoy but I don't really know much about him.
I got a chance to watch Country Music Television and saw a couple of videos by this artist. Turns out he's African American. Not exactly a common occurrence in Top 40 Country. I was intrigued and he looked familiar to me.
So I googled him. He was the lead singer from Hootie and The Blowfish - who I only knew as Hootie... and I now know as country singer Darius Ruckers. And I like him. Huh.

The thing that is funny about that is so many people know him as Hootie. The band is called hottie and the blow fish so most people assume that it is like Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. I think the fact that him being a black lead singer contributes to this a little bit but if he where white people would still think the same way but Hottie sounds like a "Hip Cat" or a Jazzy Name. I'm glad you also like his country music.

TwilightIf any one is interested in the first book in the Twilight Series, I'd be happy to give it to you.
I picked it up to read when I was down sick out of curiosity and because I LOVED Anne Rice's Vampire series. It paled in comparison to Anne Rice's stories...
So I don't really want it, but I really hate throwing things away if someone else would like it, so just give me a holler.

Not that I have read any of the books but I would expect that it wouldn't be as good as hers. But there are a couple factors based on the movies that would cause that. Well it is really one combined. Isn't the Ann Rice series about like Vampires a long time ago, and more like maybe victorian age. I assume Adults as well. Where Twilight is modern and teens. I'm also guessing that they are writting for different people. Now this assumes that the books are like the movie adaptations of them.

So are you saying all the craziness and mania over this series is just hype? :)

Oh! It was love at first taste. It was nutty and fruity and a great deal of happiness. I ate the entire bag in one sitting.
Did you like the dried mangosteen? When I bought it, well, it was nice but not my favorite.
We were in Pittsburgh.
Have I told you about my campaign to get a Trader Joe's here?
Once a week I write the most creepy letter I can. "Joe, I can't go to sleep at night. I lay awake staring at my ceiling imagine I am one of 12 varieties of soy milk in your cooler, looking up and hoping someone takes me home and drinks me. Joe, my heart is empty without you. I want you to fill me so I forget what it is like to live in a place without you."
I hope I get a restraining order.
Where are you, exactly?
