Headline Alameda: Gary Coleman is in the house

So yesterday I was sitting at my desk in the sunroom, with the windows open, when I hear someone speaking loudly on a cell phone. They were standing in the drive way of the apartments next door and being the Gladys Kravitz sort of neighbor that I am, I crept to the fence and peered through the lattice. It's Gary Fucking Coleman standing 8 feet away (by the red pole in the picture) gabbing on his phone! WTF?


I immediately ran inside and called Ken in Singapore. Something he said, I think it was; "did you take a picture?", reminded me that we own a camera. By the time I got back to the fence Gary had walked down the street to where two gentlemen were trying to start an old Lincoln Towncar. The car is still parked on the side of the road.

How trippy is that?

This world of ours is just amazing!

A message...

Well, she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different

Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
Stupid boy, it's like holding back the wind
she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
Stupid boy, stupid boy
Oh

So what made you think you could take a life
And just push it push it around
I guess you build yourself up so high
You had to take her and break her down

she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy

Oh, you always had to be right but now you've lost
The only thing that ever made you feel alive
Yeah, yeah

Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
Yes, ya did
She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens
When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't
You stupid boy, oh, I'm the same old
Same old stupid boy

It took awhile for her to figure out she could run
But when she did, she was long gone
Long gone, long gone
Ah, she's gone

Nobody's ever gonna love me like she loved me
And she loved me, she loved me
God please, just let her know
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Baby, yeah, I'm down on my knees
She's never coming back to me

Just Dance!

I stole this from Erica's blog. I'm not sure why, but this left me feeling very upbeat. I want to dance all over the world too!
