Hmmm….
Pardon the horrendous pun, but I like cheezy "things that make you say ‘Hmm’"…my Mom is very good at keeping me updated on my horoscope. It’s been something she’s forwarded to me for years. I guess I could hike out and get it my own damn self, but I don’t. So, the one for my "Born on Today" horoscope for my recent Birthday made me say "hmm". Yes, in fact it did.
June 7th - Born today, you are never one to make hasty judgments or to jump into a
new project without first assessing the potential for success and the
very real dangers you may encounter along the way. This is not to say
that you only do those things that are considered sure things. On the
contrary, you are known for your risk-taking — but the truth is you
like to know just exactly what it is you are getting into. You will
take what comes — but you like to have some kind of idea where you’ll
be as a result. You are the kind to enjoy self-improvement of all kinds
throughout your lifetime; you’re never one to assume that you know it
all.Despite your rapid success in the field of your choice,
always strive to maintain close contact with those at home — friends,
family members and loved ones. You will enjoy one life-long love –
though you may not realize that this is the one until you’ve missed
your chance more than once.
Now, that’s darn tootin’ accurate.
In other notables… ANTIVIOLENCE is getting SERIOUS attention. I can’t thank enough to everyone who has already contributed, and I ask you to post the URL for that site EVERYWHERE you can! This thing is only as big as we make it. I’m not even asking you for your spare change, I’ll shake you down for it at the door of what’s lining up to be one of the best parties of the year in LA, and has global interest in follow up parties already! You may not have money, but if you can read this, you are on "teh Intarnets" and that means you can pry yourself away from "Never seen before Britney" pix long enough to re-post the link.
Man, antiviolence and Katamari Damacy (on my new mini-ish PS2!) have taken over my life. I’d probably feel bad if I could do anything more productive, but, I mean, when’s the last time you simultaneously created a star system and fund raised for charity?! Sheesh, Gandhi better watch out for my armchair ability to create AND save the world! 
(’tards, that’s what we call sarcasm. I by no means want to challenge Gandhi to a round of Katamari.)
Actually, I’ve been spending a lot of time writing Thank You letters to snail mail to all the wonderful people who sent me get well cards / care packages and those who mailed me birthday stuff. Only 12,732,043 left to go! Seriously, though, I’ve gotten so much love from around the globe, it’s amazing.
on that note, anyone who wants to add me on Friendster, feel free to message me your info, or click on add friend, and copy and paste the following:
First Name: Joshuå
Last Name: DJ Hydrogen
you gotta copy and paste, that little squiggle on the "å" is considered bad juju by the friendster people now, I think. It barks at me when I try to update my profile that they don’t like my character, hehehe.
I’ve got to try to pretend I don’t see the PS2 on the way to bed now. If any of you see that I am still logged on in an hour, feel free to tell the cops to send the "ghetto bird" out. Quick note on "cops", by the way… the LAPD has been really great to me through all my recent trials, and it’s not even in their jurisdiction. When I went to my neighborhood council meeting, I made a small joke about "the Lord of the Vans", this guy who owns literally 20 POS vehicles on my block, most of which don’t or only slightly move of their own mechanics. Well, he was out his very next working day running plates on my block, getting stuff TOWED. THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! GO LAPD!!!
In contrast, the Sheriffs, who supposedly are investigating my case, and are supposed to be keeping the citizens safe on the subways and busses… well, I won’t give my personal opinion… but, when I woke up and remembered a TATTOO one of my suspects had, and called my "detective" to let him know… it took him nearly a WEEK to call us back. When the MTA Sheriffs showed up after 4 days to take my initial report, they went to the wrong address, and I had to walk down 4 flights of stairs and two blocks away to find the guy who was about to leave. He then proceeded to simply reference to the report the other Sheriff had made. Sweet.
