I have been fortunate . . .
Look, I am an adult and I think that I am sensitive to other people and how they go about their business. I respect people and their private lives. I don't call after 8 PM and I don't call before 9 AM. Hell, sometimes I don't call, I just write an e-mail and I then wait for the response.
Whenever I send an invite via Facebook, I tell the person that I want to be friends with, who I am and why I want to be friends. I think I am rather clear about it. I make no bones about it and the person accepts or doesn't. The only time I don't ask, is if I know the person.
I have been friends with someone on Facebook for some time and I finally asked them if they would do the radio program since they have a movie premiering in late January 2011. In the note, I told him who I was and I asked him to do the program. Within minutes of the e-mail, I was blocked and I did not get a response! Wow. In the note, I even stated that if it was inappropriate for me to contact him via his Facebook account, I asked for forgiveness and if he could direct me to the proper person so that I could contact him for an interview!
I have a radio program that is growing in size and popularity and I believe, his fan base would have attended this interview and would have appreciated the chance to interact with him.
I guess not.
It is not for me to say who it was, but I will say this: as this program grows and as it gains popularity, I won't forget this snub. I just don't forget stuff like that, but I won't be out to slam the individual, but really, he didn't have to be a jerk about it.
Speaking of snubs, I was also snubbed by Michael Hinman from SyFyPortal - he said that he would be on back in 2009 and he just didn't show. Never called, never showed. Now, I see, his radio program is back, yet again. He states: "We're back!" How many times is this now, three, four times that you go away and then come back? Just watch, his radio program will stop again and down the road, he'll declare: "We're back!"
Lame.
Oh and all of my interviews are live, not recorded.
Oh, I also found out that the audience numbers for NDB Media are more than his. I also know because he doesn't state them as I do. Too bad, mine are real, yours are . . . well, small - I guess that is why you go away and then come back again and again. Try again.

Family and Friends
As this weekend comes to an end, I still have a smile on my face. While it may be raining and boy, it continues to rain, I am so thrilled. I figured the weekend was going to be a blast, but little did I know it was going to be this good.
Friday, I spent the evening with my brothers from the seminary, saw several for this time since 1985. Bird Solis! Wow! I am glad that Selva and I were able to get up there in the foul weather. Selva's vehicle broke down, in the shadow of Dodger Stadium, not far from my place of employment - Broadway and 19th! AAA picked us up and after that, three hours later, we then drove north - I should have taken my vehicle, like I suggested, Selva! Great seeing Ignacio, Will, Francisco, Hipolito, Jerry, Bird, Albert and of course, Anthony.
On Saturday morning, not two hours after I got home, we premiered a brand-new sports program - "The Professionals". Lenny Melnick, Tim McLeod and Sonny Clark, joined me and the Big Dog! "The Sports Reporters" had better watch out!
Later that evening, we were visited by my wife's side of the family and we BBQ'd! We had our very own Tommy's burgers. You can buy the chili and take it home! We did and Maggie worked her magic! Thanks Jose, Lizette, Damian, Sergio, Sandra, Stephanie and Stacey for spending a great evening with us! I'll get the money back, Sergio! Playing Texas Hold 'em was lots of fun. Finished real late too.
Sunday morning, I cooked breakfast - I do so once a year and my brave seminary family comes to visit. We met early in the morning and went well into the afternoon. I love you guys! Tony, Stacey, Nate, Jorge, Peter and Crusher! We had a blast and the morning passed so quickly, that we just couldn't believe it by the time one o-clock rolled around.
I thank Maggie, Ariel and Giselle for doing all that they did. I love you guys, too!
Oh, good think the Raiders won. I didn't watch the game, but I am soooooooo happy they pulled it out.
Now, I can't wait to visit with Albert, his family and the brothers that show on January 2, at his house. Disneyland will have to wait for a while.
Thanks guys, I had a blast. I will not, soon, forget this weekend.

Wikileaks.org
Well, it seems that wikileaks.org is down, completely gone. There is a mirror site that is now hosting the information from this site.
While I do not agree with the publication of sensitive and secret documents, I place the blame on the US government that does not have a more secure system, i.e. one that does not use the internet and two, why can some idiot download the history of the US's missives as easily as he did?
As an American, I am pissed, but hey, I am not crying about it other than to say - we better get our security act together. We had better get off the internet, create our own internet for government use that no civilian can access and no user access that can download files.
Wikileaks, I don't agree with you, but I can not begrudge you either.

My grandmother . . .
Today, nine years ago, you left us.
I will never forget when that call came in, late at night. I knew the call, when it rang, it was bad news. Alma told me that you had just passed away. We had just left, not one hour earlier and upon reaching home, we received the news.
I am sorry I was not there when you left us and I do think of you often. I remember your kindness and your love to us all. Flawed you may have been, it was only because your love blinded you to have patience and tolerance for one and all.
I will forever remember how the migrant workers would visit your home and you would cook a meal for them and send them on their way. How you never turned anyone away and how you gave everything you had for your family.
My two girls remember you and still smile when I speak of you and for that, I can only give thanks and regret that they did not have you for more time.
I miss you and still think of you, but you were with me for 32 years and for that, I can only give thanks for having you in my life. Today and each day, on the 9th of December, I go back and live in the memories that you gave me.
I never did tell you that we almost named Ariel for you. Aurelia, she could have been. In many ways, she is you, loving and caring and tolerant for one and all. You gave that to her. We still have that - from you.
Aurelia. You left this earth on December 9, 2001. You still live in my heart and my mind.

Where is the America I knew?
Look, I am empathetic, but really - 99 weeks of unemployment insurance? What happened to the America I knew?
America is about working hard to accomplish something, to make something of yourself. Now, we subsidize everyone and everything! When does it end?
Now, things are just out of control. Don't ask me if I 'feel' for people that are without work. Of course I do. I feel for them the exact same way that 'they' would feel for me.
There, you know how I feel.
Oh, and if you want to borrow money - just go over to Prosper.com - I will gladly lend money via that website. I have, numerous times. So don't ask because I am through withlending giving money away. Yeah, that means you, BAM and Angel Fan.
Yeah, Roger is rather angry right now. Usually, when Roger puts it in writing, he has had it.
Have a great day!!!
