Hey Blog,
Helicopter Ride
So we have had some rather nasty fires the past few days. Check out the video below. I will say that while I was in the helicopter I noticed at the foot of the pilot was the "pilot manual" Good news, never during the flight did he refer to it and go "Hmmm now how do I..."

ILAS
Morning Blog,
So I was watching DWTS last night and I realized that we abbreviate way to many things. Just FYI... ILAS means I love... crap I forgot. Even religious groups are abb. like WWJD, which stands for What wood Jesus dislikes... he's a fan of particle board.
Please stop!!
Yesterday Dani P and I went to a beach bar and enjoyed some Long Island Ice Teas. Now we started talking... actually Dani went to the bar and got hit on by a guy and when she told him I was her boyfriend he keep fist pumping me. Seriously, stop the fist pumping?!?! It was cool about 5 years ago, but I've moved on to the gladiator arm shake.
This is really funny.

You Find out who your Friends Are
Hey Blog,
So I thought I would try my hand at being serious today.
Value
I have noticed something recently about myself and people around me. People will treat you with value if they see you have value. I'll give you a great example- watch this video about Susan Boyle.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk
You will see how the audience, the judges and everyone else looks at her with disgust as she is walking out of the stage. The audience and everyone else doesn't think she has any value. Then she sings, she's good, instant value.
The other day I was at a restuarant. The manager of the restaurant recognizes me, he then gave me my meal for free. I have value to him. However, if I lost my job or that value, I can guarantee that I wouldn't get any more free meals. Now I don't bring this up because I think we can change it, we can't.
Think of your past experiences with relationships or jobs. If you don't bring value to the relationship or job, eventually you will lose both. However, I will say this. A good friend, a good relative or even a great partner will always see the value in you... when you don't think you have any. Surround yourself around people that find you valuable even when you might not be. When I was out of work, I wasn't valuable. I didn't have any money, I had gained a bunch of weight, I wasn't feeling creative. Then one day with the help of Dani P, I realized... I am acutally a rather creative guy. I do have value and from there I started to blog my thoughts and ideas right here. Now 4 months later, I have a great job, great relationships and i've lost most of the extra weight. I have value. So do you by the way.
okay no more preaching.

Dr Phil told me to do it
Hey blog,
I have been reading my previous blogs and I notice that i'm horrible at spelling. I have known this about myself since I was a child and I figured out why. It's because of that creepy speak and spell I had as a child. That little demon voice haunts me still to this day.
Movies
You think in the future they will remake movies that were popular today? When i'm sixty will my grandkids want to go see a remake of the Fast and the Furious? I notice they remake a lot of horror movies. They recently had a new Friday the 13th come out. I would think by now everybody would get that story arch. Kid drowns, kid comes back to life as psychic murderer, boobies, other kids die, the end!! I really hope they remake 27 dresses, I love that movie.
Dr Phil
He had a really good show on the other day about relationships. However, I figured out that he probably will never do a show about a husband who killed his wife because she would always quote things that Dr. Phil said on his show.
"How did your wife die?" asked the Police officer
"I couldn't take her telling me what to do anymore through the Dr. Phil show!!" the husband yells
"You should go on Springer!!"
that's all for now blog, pelican's game tonight!! Hopefully I don't skip the first pitch again.
love you,
JD

Wow I can now blog from my cell phone! Now I really have no excuse to miss a blog. Thank you blogspot for allowing me to take full advantage of toliet time. I'm not on the toliet right now, but I could be! I also might be in a dressing room, in court or in front of the mirror talking in a hair brush. You'll never know. I can tell you where I won't be. In prison, driving, or at an antique show. Not because I can't text at an antique show, its just I boycott antiques ever since I got taken by that damn PBS show! I knew my picture of richardo montabon was worth more than $1.28 enough bloggun via text, I need to hurry and vote for my favorite American idol! Peace

Happy Easter!!!
Hey Blog,
Had a good weekend. Actually got 3 days off which i think I needed to just get my sanity back. I have been back in the hotel for a little over a week. If you have ever spent a lot of time in a hotel after a while you start going crazy. It's kinda of like jail but without all the nasty stabbings.
Opening Pitch
So I got to throw out the first pitch at the Pelicans game over the weekend. It's a little over 60 feet to the catcher and I didn't make it the entire way. The Easter Bunny actually did a better job than I did. However, after I went back to my seat I had someone yell "Don't quit your day job." It got me to think. You know, even if I had thrown a 98 mile hour fast ball i'm pretty sure I wouldn't turn in my resignation the next day so I can go on tour throwing out the first pitch at random minor league baseball games over the country. I'm also pretty sure i'm not going to "quit my day job" to play Golden Tee either.
Nightclubing
I went to a pretty cool nightclub on Saturday night. While I was there I realized. I have no business being a nightclub at my age. Here are signs your too old for a nightclub
1) You complain it's too loud.
2) Your shirt is from Tommy Bahama
3) You don't know what the X's mean on a girl's hand
4) You dig that new song "Baby Got Back"
5) When you get the bar bill you tell back in my day shots were only a nickel stories
okay blog-- I get to be a ringmaster tonight at the circus. I think I might wear my Tommy Bahama shirt.
love,
JD
