An old friend...
I just opened an email from an old friend. She currently lives in Hawaii, happy as pie with her husband and she sounds like she is full of stoke. Unfortunately, she wrote because she wanted me to know that a mutual childhood friend of ours passed away recently. I am simply devastated and can't believe that Ronnie is gone.
When we were kids, Ronnie was the fastest kid around. He was a true natural talent, and brilliant at the same time.
He attended Cornell with a full scholarship and was an excellent Water Polo player as well. While attending Cornell, Ronnie encountered some difficult times that nobody could ever see coming.
I don't have any details about his passing, and its not my style to write about my super personal life, but I am extremely sad right now.
F!

SHUT UP AND SING!
This trailer is for the movie, Shut Up and Sing, a documentary about the Dixie Chicks.
I actually am a big fan and once again admit my ()ness, but seriously, they are great performers and a band I can't wait to see live. I have a wide taste in music, but I never expected to like these girls.
This movie is a MUST SEE!

A letter to my friends...(easties)
Dear Easties,
I finally arrived back in SF, after a pretty sketchy flight back. I wanted to take the time to just let each and every single one of you know, that this past trip to NYC/Jersey goes down in the books as one of the best.
Since you all already know what a () and sap I can be, I wanted to let you know that this weekend really made me realize how fantastic of a crew I have back east as well as out west.
Jersey rocks!
The party on Saturday was a blast, and the one-on-one time I had with all of you, meant the world to me. I really miss you guys a lot, probably more than you know.
Much love,
JP

Dear Michael Waltrip...You are a douchebag too...buts its ok!
Michael Waltrip has recently been caught cheating. During inspection prior to Qualifying for the Daytona 500, he was caught with an "oily substance" in one of his intake manifolds. After the manifold was shipped to a private lab in Charlotte, North Carolina, headquarters to NASCAR, it was discovered that this substance was like the stuff you can find in "Sterno".
Its likely that Waltrip didn't know this was going on, but he was the lead spokesperson for Toyota coming to NASCAR. He also is a two-time champion at the Daytona 500, which gave him a good shot even if it were with a brand new team.
The VP of Racing for Michael Waltrip racing was ejected, as well as Michael's crew chief. Both are out indefinitely which sucks for MW. His crew chief was also fined $100,000. Toyota is not happy with MW.
Tim Hardaway is a douchebag!!
Tim Hardaway was on a radio show as and basically was a complete idiot. Ends up he apologized like every other celeb that fucks up, but whatever.
Fucking douchebag.

The Police rule! S. Copeland is such a rad drummer. I actually missed this live, but thanks to thrunk, here it is. The Dixie Chicks (footage not from last night) also came away with the biggest night. They won every category that they were nominated for. I get lots of shit for liking them, but its not as bad as liking Gloria Estefan...seriously DM, wtf? Hahaha! The grammys were a trip this year. Whats with Tony Bennett giving thanks to Target?? Oh yeah, Don Henley looks like shit too.
Last, this guy is 72 years old, and attempted to qualify for the Daytona 500 this past weekend. He hasn't made it yet, but has another shot this Thursday night by racing his way into a spot in the 43 car lineup to kick off the season. Its a pretty rad story.

I bet you didn't know that George Takei was so funny!?!
George Takei has been sitting in on the Stern show once in a while for the past several months. He has a great sense of humor and this video proves it.
Before:
After:
Here is one of his most recent appearances too.
Gosh...this was when he must have been snorting coke everyday....Great video with AC/DC!
Last one for Artie...this is at the William Shatner Roast.
I love Stern...
I've been a fan of Howard for about 15 years now. I remember before every surf, every workout, and before every school day, I would listen to Howard, Robin, Fred, Fa Fa Fooie, and Jackie. So fricken fun.
Here is Artie Lange's first appearance on the show with Norm McDonald.
Here is Beetlejuice and Gilbert Gottfried.
More Stern.
Hank the Angry Dwarf.
The Elegant Elliot Offen...ew!
I can go on for days....

Google/Earthlink to provide Wi-Fi services to SF...
Epic!
Hopefully the Public Utilities Commission and the Board of Sups pass this thing! Wi-Fi for all...the best part...its free fifty free bitches!
Lord knows that our mayor wants to make this happen and get past the sex scandel. Speaking of that, some folks think its gonna hurt his chances politically...whatever. The guy is a shoe-in for the rest of his life. I still think the bastard will make it, based on his $$...ha!

craziness....
First up...the new movie about Peahi. Laird and Kalama are simply the GNARLIEST guys on the planet. As a waterman, I have nothing but 100% total respect for these guys, and as reckless as it seems, these guys basically have gills and flippers. Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama are the true watermen.
Second up...a story about a couple of dudes and Mavs. Epic.
