Well my cousin was on during the superbowl again.
He was on several years ago in a Toyota ad and now for his new ABC show, "Sons and Daughters" which will air on March 7th.
So watch if you can.

Oh, the joys of parenting.
So a week or so ago my daughter calls me, I can tell it's her because her phone rings distinctive from other phone calls. I glance at the time, it's about the time she would be getting out of school.
I answer expecting her to say something like hey can I go to your house instead of mom's. Instead right after I say, Hello.
She says, "What's the sentence for a class one misdemeanor?"
Well the Hello, quickly becomes HELL NO in my head. But I manage to keep it together and ask the best possible question, Why?
"Just because." she says indifferently.
"are you in trouble?"
No
Are you planning on getting into trouble?
No
Why do you need to know this information
Someone I know hit there Mom
You didn't hit your Mom, did you? I tried not to sound hopeful.
I well it really depends on some things but it could be some jail time to probation or both. Where are you?
At Mom's
OK are you sure you aren't planning on hitting her?
Yes Dad, OK thanks for the info love you bye
Bye

It's only in my head
And it’s one more day living in my life. My absence from writing is one of both time and introspection. Trying to figure things out. Things were easier in the drink and not thing phase. More expensive but less complicated. I didn’t ponder things as much, just pour the bourbon in the glass barkeep and keep ’em coming until you think I need to call a cab.
I’ve been stuck in my thoughts about my past. I’ve forced myself to walk to the edge to get as close as I dare to the darkness and then to see if I could step once more. I know I could except for one thing, well two actually. I can’t leave them with the same sleepless nights and constant wondering and assigning blame to myself.
I wonder what it would take though, what would have to happen to push that beyond that limit. I can hear her calling from across the void. All that we don’t know about that crossing. And it’s one more day and it’s been so long .
So I walk in between living and dying.
And I poured another bourbon in the glass
It won’t hurt as much if I can’t feel it.

So I walk in between living and dying.
And I poured another bourbon in the glass
It won’t hurt as much if I can’t feel it.

New Year
When you are a kid the time of the year that represents the new beginning in your life is late August and/or early September when school starts where ever you are that differs but generally it’s during this time of year. As an adult all of a sudden it becomes January. So as an adult you have to over come 12 to 16 years of indoctrination of changing life at a certain time of year to another.
While you are in school the change is mostly out of your own hands – it just happens. You start a new grade and a new agenda exists and you adapt or you don’t to the changes that engulf you.
Now life sort of begins to prepare you for the calendar changing while you are in college you have the semester changes between December and January but it’s undermined by concept of the school year still being run on the August/September start and May/June ending.
So still you are being indoctrinated to begin change in your life around the end of summer, start of fall period of time. Then after all that the only real changes come from changing jobs, starting/ending relationships, having kids the real things in life. However these things don’t happen every year so we invent these things that we should try to change in our lives in the form of resolutions. But are they really the things that we need to change in our lives? Maybe they are though but maybe we are just trying to cling to something from our social introduction that we need to change things start anew in some way with the changing of the calendar.
However if these are indeed things we need to change why wait for the start of the year? Just make the changes. Most of us don’t break the mold, rock the boat and live out our quiet little lives unnoticed mainly except in our little worlds. Now I’m not saying that the thing in anyone persons life is meaningless because most of us live and die by the things that surround us in the microcosm of our lives. We rarely if ever break out of the shell of comfort that we surround ourselves in and when the comfort that we surround our self in is threatened it becomes the most important thing in your life. So without actually making a resolution I’m going to spend more time breaking out of my own little area of comfort and push the envelope a little more and I invite you to do the same. Rock the boat a little bit, push a button, stand when you are expected to sit, sit when you should stand and argue the opposite point of view just to be different. Anyway happy new year to any and all you read this have a great day and a better tomorrow and play nice in the neighborhood.

invisible don's week of slacking continued part four
Back to Monday 12-22 continued
Well Dinner was good in the combined efforts of the two chefs working in two different kitchens 11 miles apart. Oh yes this is true. One of my kids said the food was disgusting and to children ages 11, 9, 7, 6 and 3 it was not what they would want. So whichever of my blessed souls said “Ew, this is disgusting!” Caused a chain reaction of the food is nasty chorus at the children’s table. This was further compounded by the TV being on no child listening to a parent, so I turned off the TV. Simple enough right. Well 4 of the 5 saw the logic in my action and immediately sat back down grumbling a little but sitting and eating none the less. All save one child who decided to throw a fit at this point. The world had ended for this child. I was chastised and asked do you like it better now? Well of course I like it better now I’m the King of the Bastards I’ve made a child cry my day is complete and I can rest easy now.
No of course I don’t like it better now but I’ll be drinking soon so it will all be good momentarily and at the point I think I did excuse my self from the table to fix a rather stout Bourbon and Coke and had a rather delightful flashback of the cashier while I was making said beverage. During that time the child was calmed down and the TV turned back on as promised and the food is nasty chorus had ended and all the little children decided that having entertainment was better than not having entertainment while choking down disgusting food.
Dinner ended and now it was present time. Yes I know the 22nd is not Christmas but that was when all of the clan could be together so that is when we did the thing. So the gift giving began and shreds of paper filled the air. The beta unit had attempted to have some order in things while the gifts were being opened but that lasted through the first round of gifts.
Every child was happy and of course opened something with small pieces which would most likely be lost on the way to respective homes and cause much wailing again.
The children and adults played the rest of the evening. Doodle got the Nick trivia game. The other one and I watch too many cartoons because we knew the answers to a lot of things.
Then the kids were off to bed and the adults were not far behind.
Tuesday 12-23
I woke up the next day having one of those dreams that you dream you are exactly where you are in the world at that moment doing exactly what you are doing sleeping and then being awoken by something. Well there I was sleeping in the room I was sharing with stunt boy and in runs the Beta Unit screaming “WTF is up with this online thing you write!” and stomps out of the room. OH fuck. Ok now I’m awake. Now the question is did I just dream that or did that really just happen. The first clue should have been that you don’t normal observe yourself in a situation in your life and I was seeing it all from the corner of the room. Well it didn’t take long to convince myself that I had dreamed that and it didn’t really happen but oh god that wasn’t a refreshing way to wake up.
Much of the rest of that day was spent packing at one end of the trip and unpacking at the other end of the trip and then driving back to the ‘Noke from west by god.
Nothing much exciting happened at that point. The other one lent me his copy of “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown – which I have since completed. And have looked at the painting and said huh I’ll be damned
Back in the ‘Noke I already have a message from CPG and she was nasty on it YOU NEED TO CALL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON FOR THE HOLIDAYS. YOU NEED TO CALL ME AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO TOWN.
Well Merry Christmas to you too CPG. Well I waited like 30 minutes to call her and explained that I had already told her that the kids would be at my house until 1 or 2 on Christmas day and then you (CPG) could pick them up and they can either spend the night with you or you can bring them back to my house that night either way works for me. – Well she is nasty in her FINE and hangs up. OK then glad to see the holiday spirit is festive in your heart this year. Well the kids and I ended up playing late and then went to bed
Wednesday 12-24
This was spent playing all day. Doodle had a few friends over and she visited some too. Stunt boy and I hung out most of the day playing his games. He was asking every couple of minutes if he could open a new present.
That was pretty much the whole day reading, playing games and watching movies.
Christmas is coming ………..in the next installment of invisible don stay tuned.
Yeah I know I have problems but at least I know I have them. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Play nice in the neighborhood.

I don't give a damn about my bad reputation ... what did you hear about me anyway ... oh come on tell me... PUH-leeze
Rock is running all over the house right now I'm thinking she may be losing her mind
Up the stairs
Down the stairs
Up the stairs
Down the stairs
Into the kitchen
Skid on the throw rug
Bam into the wall
Leaps up looks at the rug like I meant to surf across the floor on you and then bif it into the wall
Meanwhile -Mick Jagger is singing his ass off in one of those one line from every song ever written by the Rolling Stones so you will buy the Album TV ads.
Ever notice that none of the Rolling Stones best of records ever does a tag line from emotional rescue but that song is on all of them -something to think about.
In other news
VH1 programming is back on the best of the 80's
This is a wild ride down memory lane - I’m getting a tingle just thinking about how much fun the 80’s were for me - ok not so much sorry to lead you down that primrose path of my pseudo excitement
Will some one please choke the life out of Carrot Top so I don’t have to endure another one of his commercials?
Ok back to the 80’s
So right now I’m listening to all the things from the 80's and occasionally looking in at what’s on the TV
Was the fashion industry on crack in the 80’s?
If you had to pick the worst clothing from a decade I'm thinking the 80's
The main reason for this is that standard cool jeans and pullovers were in style and always have been
But people in the 80’s still choose to wear all the members only jackets, parachute pants, jackets with the zippers, the layered skirts and the best fashion thing of the 80’s
Big, big mall hair
Now that is fashion
I had three looks in the 80’s
Early 80’s Jeans and t-shirts mostly black
Mid 80’s Military B.D.U.’s (Camouflage means battle dress uniform aren’t you glad you know that now, ok maybe not so much)
Late 80’s Khakis and button ups growing my hair as long as possible - the last haircut I got in the 80’s was in November of 1988
So by March 1994 when I finally got all my hair chopped off I ended up cutting 20 inches off and my hair was still on my shoulders
Mostly I didn’t listen to very popular music in the 1980’s well a lot of it is popular now but at the time mostly people would say you listen to that crap - oh well now all those people are say hey do you know this or that really cool song - Ah yeah you said it was crap when it first came out
Which of course they deny - oh no I’ve always liked that group which you know isn’t true because they own it on CD and I still have most of it on vinyl and I have had to re-buy the music - don’t you hate that technology makes you have to buy things over again
It really adds meaning to the saying that there is nothing new under the sun - it’s just that the technology changes
So this has pretty much been going on since the 1400’s when the kids in the middle ages were playing video games on the parchment pulled over a stick frame
Well I’ve had enough of my trip down memory lane and I’m sure most of you have as well
Happy New Year and all that
Hope no one has a hangover that is too terrible
But if you do just this morning on the today show
This white bread chick said chicken broth is the best thing of a hangover - who knew
Well apparently this goody two shoes who looks like she hasn’t drank a bit in her life ever -
However you know the goody-goody girls are the ones that can drink you under the table on a Saturday night not get in until 5 am and then make to Sunday church service at 8am and look all sweet and innocent and most importantly sober on two hours of sleep - must be the chicken soup
Well anyway I’m out
Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood

Sunday Press Conference
OK it’s Sunday morning
Saturday night was distinctly different from Friday night
The kids are back here - which I like
Doodle had two of her friends spent the night last night
So I have four kids here this a.m.
Stunt boy had to get a cootie shot (circle, circle, dot, dot…)
Anyway
Sunday morning Press Conference
Location: Mi casa no su casa
Time: Noon- why because morning press conferences suck that’s why
Invisible don: Good morning I would like to say I am fully aware I am wearing my slippers so lets not have any comments about how much you like the fuzzy bunnies with the floppy ears - I know you do I like them too. Coffee and cigarettes are available on the side tables so fell free to help your self to either and smoke if you want - oh and the left side is the smoking section so if you need to move
Several people light up
Reporter 1: So you signed up for a review?
Invisible don: Yes actually I have signed up for several, but only one has ever gotten around to reviewing me- maybe there is something I’m not getting - I can be a little slow to catch on to a point
Reporter 1: Why seek out random validation from a stranger invisible don?
Invisible don: That is a very good question - too bad I really don’t have a very good answer - You know it was one of those parties where everyone has too much to drink and it really seemed like a good idea at the time - then the cops show up. Yes you in the back with the glasses
Reporter 2: Do you think that reviews aid diary writers?
Invisible don: Well possibly - but then again I think that diaries are expressions of individuality and if everyone conforms to some standard then there would be no need to read other diaries - but it’s all about having fun
Reporter 2: Why keep a diary?
Invisible don: I do this mainly for me - yes that may be a bit self centered but it also serves as a mind dump for me. The young lady in the front
Reporter 3: Was your review good?
Invisible don: No it sucked (sips coffee, drags off cigarette) but you know that’s all right you ask for a slap in the face you are most likely going to get one (blows smoke from last drag)
Reporter 3: Do you think reviewers really get a sense of the person behind the diary from a random sample?
Invisible don: Excellent question - well I have to give credit to someone else for this next statement chickenpie and I where talking once and she said we only really put the stuff in our diaries that we really want people to know about us or that we feel comfortable putting out there
Reporter 3 Can you give an example of something you leave out of your diary?
Invisible don: Sure my kids names - there isn’t really any reason for anyone to know them personally. Yes you in the toxic waste t-shirt
Toxic waste: Oh I’m just here for the coffee and smokes
Invisible don: All right party crashers - yes you in front
Reporter 1: Would you sign up for another review?
Invisible don: Oh yeah, I mean just because one 14 year old diary reviewer doesn’t like me doesn’t mean that she didn’t make some valid points but its all about fun on here (diaryland). This is a release for me I like playing in the neighborhood
Reporter 3: So you do you plan on taking the review link down?
Invisible don: No I mean if you can’t accept that maybe someone isn’t pleased with what you write or how you do it then maybe you shouldn’t play - Yes you there in the front with the laptop
Reporter 4: Do you think it’s a journaling sin to talk to your audience?
Invisible don: Well I suppose that most writing intellects would say yes - but I also think that every writer has an audience in mind when they write, to deny that is I think a bigger sin but I’m not a writer I think my lack of punctuation and grammar make that point rather well but back to the audience thing - this being a public diary I know and even want people to read what I write - even if they don’t like what I have to say - I’m an attention whore
Reporter 4: Are you always going to talk to your audience?
Invisible don: Yes why wouldn’t I, I’m an attention whore, I know they are there and I would just like to say Hi to all those who are reading today
Reporter 4: Ha Ha … Seriously - why talk to your audience?
Invisible don: Because they are there I talk to my self - I’ve even had a conversation or too with dog What part of I’m an attention whore are you having trouble with
Reporter 5: who is dog?
Invisible don: Dog doesn’t live here anymore - You there in the sundress
Reporter 6: (blows smoke from last draw on the cigarette) Your diary seems to be a bit random and jumps all over the place
Invisible don: Hey I’m not a writer - I don’t know if I want to be or not - like I said this is mainly for me to dump stuff from my head in to cyberspace - I never said my mind was neat and tidy
Reporter 6: Would you like to go out?
Invisible don: Excuse me… oh… I know you… you are that chick from my dreams yeah jump in my head later tonight we will do something
Reporter 6: OK (vanishes)
Invisible don: Yes you there on the right side in the tie
Reporter 7: Are you going to make changes to your diary?
Invisible don: Yes I think that diaries change right along with the writer - I know several of the diaries I read are constantly evolving - it keeps things fresh - You there in the smoking section
Reporter 8: What about cursing do you think it is appropriate?
Invisible don: Phuck yes - I mean just to be cursing to curse is rather coarse but these are words too and they do convey a point or feeling - I mean it’s all in how you curse some curse words are very versatile - Yes you there in the jams and t-shirt or are you with toxic waste?
Jams and t-shirt: Oh I’m with toxic waste but you said like cursing is OK with you why don’t you do it more
Invisible don: Because it isn’t always the best way to say something other times it is- Mostly though there are a plethora of other words to use rather than slang and curses - You there in the I love Invisible don t-shirt
Reporter 9: Don’t you think this is getting rather pointless and contrived
Invisible don: Yes I do well that seems to be everything - thanks for coming out this morning. T-shirts are available at the door along with the CD and posters enjoy the coffee and smokes stay as long as you like
Ciao

Cold steel slides beneath my skin
Pain is a warm blanket
Flowing out encircling me
Small pools at first
Clanging metal falling to the floor
Fear is a comfort to me
Draining from me
Larger pools shining in the dim light
Silent blade staring back at me
Unsheathed and still
Floating now in crimson
Stillness will be mine soon
Saturday night was distinctly different from Friday night
The kids are back here - which I like
Doodle had two of her friends spent the night last night
So I have four kids here this a.m.
Stunt boy had to get a cootie shot (circle, circle, dot, dot…)
Anyway
Sunday morning Press Conference
Location: Mi casa no su casa
Time: Noon- why because morning press conferences suck that’s why
Invisible don: Good morning I would like to say I am fully aware I am wearing my slippers so lets not have any comments about how much you like the fuzzy bunnies with the floppy ears - I know you do I like them too. Coffee and cigarettes are available on the side tables so fell free to help your self to either and smoke if you want - oh and the left side is the smoking section so if you need to move
Several people light up
Reporter 1: So you signed up for a review?
Invisible don: Yes actually I have signed up for several, but only one has ever gotten around to reviewing me- maybe there is something I’m not getting - I can be a little slow to catch on to a point
Reporter 1: Why seek out random validation from a stranger invisible don?
Invisible don: That is a very good question - too bad I really don’t have a very good answer - You know it was one of those parties where everyone has too much to drink and it really seemed like a good idea at the time - then the cops show up. Yes you in the back with the glasses
Reporter 2: Do you think that reviews aid diary writers?
Invisible don: Well possibly - but then again I think that diaries are expressions of individuality and if everyone conforms to some standard then there would be no need to read other diaries - but it’s all about having fun
Reporter 2: Why keep a diary?
Invisible don: I do this mainly for me - yes that may be a bit self centered but it also serves as a mind dump for me. The young lady in the front
Reporter 3: Was your review good?
Invisible don: No it sucked (sips coffee, drags off cigarette) but you know that’s all right you ask for a slap in the face you are most likely going to get one (blows smoke from last drag)
Reporter 3: Do you think reviewers really get a sense of the person behind the diary from a random sample?
Invisible don: Excellent question - well I have to give credit to someone else for this next statement chickenpie and I where talking once and she said we only really put the stuff in our diaries that we really want people to know about us or that we feel comfortable putting out there
Reporter 3 Can you give an example of something you leave out of your diary?
Invisible don: Sure my kids names - there isn’t really any reason for anyone to know them personally. Yes you in the toxic waste t-shirt
Toxic waste: Oh I’m just here for the coffee and smokes
Invisible don: All right party crashers - yes you in front
Reporter 1: Would you sign up for another review?
Invisible don: Oh yeah, I mean just because one 14 year old diary reviewer doesn’t like me doesn’t mean that she didn’t make some valid points but its all about fun on here (diaryland). This is a release for me I like playing in the neighborhood
Reporter 3: So you do you plan on taking the review link down?
Invisible don: No I mean if you can’t accept that maybe someone isn’t pleased with what you write or how you do it then maybe you shouldn’t play - Yes you there in the front with the laptop
Reporter 4: Do you think it’s a journaling sin to talk to your audience?
Invisible don: Well I suppose that most writing intellects would say yes - but I also think that every writer has an audience in mind when they write, to deny that is I think a bigger sin but I’m not a writer I think my lack of punctuation and grammar make that point rather well but back to the audience thing - this being a public diary I know and even want people to read what I write - even if they don’t like what I have to say - I’m an attention whore
Reporter 4: Are you always going to talk to your audience?
Invisible don: Yes why wouldn’t I, I’m an attention whore, I know they are there and I would just like to say Hi to all those who are reading today
Reporter 4: Ha Ha … Seriously - why talk to your audience?
Invisible don: Because they are there I talk to my self - I’ve even had a conversation or too with dog What part of I’m an attention whore are you having trouble with
Reporter 5: who is dog?
Invisible don: Dog doesn’t live here anymore - You there in the sundress
Reporter 6: (blows smoke from last draw on the cigarette) Your diary seems to be a bit random and jumps all over the place
Invisible don: Hey I’m not a writer - I don’t know if I want to be or not - like I said this is mainly for me to dump stuff from my head in to cyberspace - I never said my mind was neat and tidy
Reporter 6: Would you like to go out?
Invisible don: Excuse me… oh… I know you… you are that chick from my dreams yeah jump in my head later tonight we will do something
Reporter 6: OK (vanishes)
Invisible don: Yes you there on the right side in the tie
Reporter 7: Are you going to make changes to your diary?
Invisible don: Yes I think that diaries change right along with the writer - I know several of the diaries I read are constantly evolving - it keeps things fresh - You there in the smoking section
Reporter 8: What about cursing do you think it is appropriate?
Invisible don: Phuck yes - I mean just to be cursing to curse is rather coarse but these are words too and they do convey a point or feeling - I mean it’s all in how you curse some curse words are very versatile - Yes you there in the jams and t-shirt or are you with toxic waste?
Jams and t-shirt: Oh I’m with toxic waste but you said like cursing is OK with you why don’t you do it more
Invisible don: Because it isn’t always the best way to say something other times it is- Mostly though there are a plethora of other words to use rather than slang and curses - You there in the I love Invisible don t-shirt
Reporter 9: Don’t you think this is getting rather pointless and contrived
Invisible don: Yes I do well that seems to be everything - thanks for coming out this morning. T-shirts are available at the door along with the CD and posters enjoy the coffee and smokes stay as long as you like
