I confess, I have a fascination with pop culture. And I know that this is a cop out, but I had to throw some good old quotes up here from multiple genres of pop culture. Here they are in all their glory, and you've probably even seen some before:

(On September 17, 1994, Alabama's Heather Whitestone was selected as Miss America 1995.)

Question: If you could live forever, would you and why?

Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not
live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever,"
--Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest.

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
--Mariah Carey

"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very
important part of your life,"
--Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for federal anti-smoking campaign.

"I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body,"
--Winston Bennett,
University of Kentucky basketball forward.

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the
lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC.

"That lowdown scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death
by a jackass, and I'm just the one to do it,"
--A congressional candidate in Texas.

"Half this game is ninety percent mental."
--Philadelphia Phillies manager, Danny Ozark

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."
--Al Gore, Vice President

"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix."
--Dan Quayle

"We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?"
--Lee Iacocca

"The word "genius" isn't applicable in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." --Joe Theisman, NFL football quarterback & sports analyst.

"We don't necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude
certain types of people."
--Colonel Gerald Wellman, ROTC Instrutor.

"Traditionally, most of Australia's imports come from overseas."
--Keppel Enderbery

"Your food stamps will be stopped effective
March 1992 because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances."
--Department of Social Services, Greenville, South Carolina

”If somebody has a bad heart, they can plug this jack
in at night as they go to bed and it will monitor their
heart throughout the night. And the next morning, when
they wake up dead, there'll be a record."
--Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman

Lately I've been feeling a bit of alright. Originally I was going to finish that sentence with the lyrics of Dave Mathews but, I haven't been feeling low... so I changed it... to "a bit of alright" which is lame. But I didn't want people thinking I was depressed... because I'm not. I'm alright... a bit of alright, in fact. So this is just an update... for my mom, because my mom, likes being updated on my life but feel free to read it if your not my mom, because really... so many people are not my mom. So mom, here's what's been going on. And I should say, that you need to learn how to use skype better, because you always hang up on me. I'll give you a skype etiquette course when I come visit for Christmas. So we filmed our latest gig up in Canada in a town called Surry. It was a play, the play was called Hanzel and Grettel, and it was a pantomime, which is a genre within in the theatre realms. You wouldn't of liked it... but we did a good job, and we'll be sending them the dvd in a few days. Money. I didn't put you in the credits on this one, because I didn't do any credits. I only do credits on our independent productions. But " the E word" was picked up for distribution, and can be officially purchased on: sermonspice.com

You should check it out for at least two reasons. First, your name is in the credits, and second, my name is in the credits. Money baby! But it's nothing special so calm down, and don't buy it... you know your second born son is gonna get you your own special edition copy. I know it doesn't make up for raising me and helping me get through college, but it's a start. Well, no it's not really, not even close. But, we got: "distribution baby!" And I've determined that, distribution of any kind is better than a kick in the face. Money. Okay, we also got a gig with a big company that I can't spell correctly but it's pronounced... actually I can't talk about it. I almost forgot, we signed some papers saying that we can't talk about it. But they didn't say I couldn't blog about it... but... you know. Money. So there's that. Also, we finished another flick called "size matters" and this flick is on "small groups" within churches. Of course it's a comedic satire, and it actually reminds my of a SNL skit gone bad. So, I don't know how this one will play, but we'll put it out there anyway. Plus, I'm gonna put a picture from the movie, just to wet your appetite. Things in Oregon are the same, except there is a bit more traffic since the last time I wrote about traffic. Oregon is actually starting to remind me of a prettier version of the East Coast, with a few volcanoes in the mix. So it's time to move again I guess. I figure Africa has less traffic. So that'll be nice. Also, why do you have an email account if you never use it? That always stuns me. Unless it's a joke, then it's kind of funny I guess. Send your email to everyone then never check it. I guess it depends on my mood but it could be funny, but mainly because I know you. Tell dad I say "what's up."Ciou
