Johnny Cochran is dead?

How come the only place I've read about the death of Johnny Cochran is on an Australian news site?

Famed OJ Simpson lawyer dies

Johnnie L Cochran Jr, the charismatic attorney who became famous in the successful defence of football star OJ Simpson on murder charges, has died in Los Angeles of a brain tumour.

Cochran began his career as a crusader against police abuses, often in cases involving black clients.

But Cochran is best known for the trial that won a controversial acquittal for Simpson in 1995.

Simpson was accused of murder in the June 12, 1994 stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.

He was acquitted despite what prosecutors described as a "mountain of evidence" against him.

In one of the defining moments of the trial, Simpson appeared unable to put on a pair of gloves connected to the double murder.

Cochran famously admonished the jury: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."

Cochran became so well known during the trial that he subsequently played himself in a series of films and television series.

A statement from Cochran's family and law firm confirmed he had died.

It said funeral arrangements would be announced at a later date.

just a short delay

Okay, I know I said I'd expand on my last post...but now I'm in LA at my parents' house, and I don't really have time to write anything more than a few sentences. Besides that, I don't want my parents to know I even have a blog, so this has to be quick! Basically, the other day, I was supposed to leave Oakland at a certain time to drive to LA (which takes about 5-6 hours, depending on traffic), but I ended up fucking up my tire the day before by hitting a pothole in the rain. I needed to get a new tire before I drove the 350 miles, so my boyfriend took my car to the place, and it wound up taking like 3 hours! Lazy fuckers. I was so annoyed. We didn't end up getting to LA until like 12:30am or something. Ugh. Then, yesterday, I had to go to a bridal shower for an old high school friend (this actually deserves its very own post - my 2 sentences right here won't do it justice, so I'll write about that in a few days), and I was supposed to be in Bel Air at noon. So, what time did I wake up? 11:40. I didn't wind up getting there until about 2pm, but that's ok, because it was boring anyways. I almost wanted to just ditch it, but my mom convinced me it would be best to go. I guess she was right in the end. I hate when that happens!

I hope you all have a great holiday, whichever one you're celebrating, and if you aren't celebrating anything today, go find something to celebrate! Or at least go get fucked up or something, and just say you're celebrating!

I'll talk to you all soon!

sooo cheesy

I don't really feel like I have too much to say tonight, but I'm sure I probably do. Maybe I'm just feeling a bit braindead and can't think of anything at the moment.

Friday was my boyfriend's birthday. I went out and bought him a bunch of gourmet cheeses - like ten different types or something. Most of them were Italian cheeses, except for two French ones (some blue cheese and some brie - definitely necessary!). I can't remember the names of most of them, but maybe I'll go look in the refrigerator so I can tell you. Probably not, though. The fridge smells so...cheesy. Hmm.

I also got him the DVDs of seasons 1 and 2 of Curb Your Enthusiasm. We just started getting into that show; at first, I thought it was stupid and not funny, but now I want to see every single episode in chronological order. It's weird how HBO shows can be so much better than regular network tv - maybe it's the profanity?

There was also sex and cleaning involved (not together)...but I don't need to go into details about that...

Lindsay Lohan admits she has tried marijuana

We like admissions! It seems like her upcoming movie, Herbie: Fully Loaded, was appropriately titled, eh?

Lindsay Lohan has confessed she once smoked marijuana, despite insisting last year she was anti-drugs, reports IMDB.com.

The 18-year-old "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday" star told the style magazine W that she's tried pot but didn't like it.

"I'm not going to deny the fact that I've tried pot. I hated it," Lohan says.

She insists she'd never try anything harder than pot because she's seen how cocaine has messed up members of her own family.

"I've never tried cocaine," she says. "I've seen my father. I've seen how it messes with families, and, you know, it messes your life up."

Lohan will next be seen this summer in "Herbie: Fully Loaded."

the father of seven was injected with syringe after syringe of cocaine...

Check this out...it's pretty insane. The link to the story takes you to a registration page, so I've copied it here for your enjoyment! I cut a lot of it out, but the important parts are there. I just can't believe someone would elect to die by letting someone make their heart explode...

Promising prosecutor dies from cocaine injections after long decline, loss of family and home
JIM SUHR
Associated Press

MACON, Mo. - A former prosecutor and family man once known for a firm grasp of the difference between right and wrong, David Masters arrived at his death bound to a chair, his final stop along a road of poor choices.

Two housemates are accused of being his judge and jury, condemning Masters for owing three weeks of rent and making passes at a woman with whom he lived. When the woman pulled out a gun, court papers say, Masters said he'd rather die from drugs - so the father of seven was injected with syringe after syringe of cocaine.

Today, his housemates - Crystal Broyles, 27, and Thomas Naumann, 49 - and Broyles' sister, 23-year-old Brandi Storment are charged with first-degree murder in his slaying. Prosecutors say Storment was at the house and stole some of Masters' possession but did not inject him with any cocaine. Each is jailed without bail.

I hope you all got drunk

I sure did! I didn't have any green beer, but I did have a few pints of Guinness (mmm) and then some Sierra Nevada at this Irish bar near my house called Crogan's. Jason tried to order an Irish car bomb, but the bartender wouldn't make it because he said it's a racist drink. I couldn't help but think, couldn't he just make the drink and call it something else?

An old guy in a kilt showerd up playing bagpipes (he was a hired professional, not just some random guy in a kilt), and later on the Heineken girls showed up. They were giving out green Mardi Gras looking beads, but only to the guys - so I didn't get any. Those fucking bitches. At least I got a pin that says "Put a little Irish in you!" It must have been designed by a guy...

There was also this guy talking to my boyfriend and me for quite awhile - he seemed pretty nice, but I don't know why random older guys always try to talk to us when we go out to bars. It's somewhat peculiar.

Then we got home and smoked some green bud, you know, to continue celebrating. When St. Patrick's Day ended at midnight, Jason's birthday began...so then we had a whole new reason to continue drinking all day. Not that we did (actually, maybe he did), but at least we had a reason to.

Brittany Murphy is dismissing rumours that she owes her weight loss to cocaine.

The '8-Mile' actress insists that she's never tried it - and has in fact never even seen it. She also says that she's too highly-strung for drugs and imagines her heart would explode.

Dismissing talk that she's had plastic surgery since her star turn in 1995's 'Clueless', she says she's broken her nose three times and has never gotten it fixed. She says that "changed the shape of it but it made it wider".

Will people never learn?

It's not really that hard - don't give pot to your children! That's just wrong.

Man guilty of giving marijuana to 3-year-old son

A man found guilty of giving marijuana to his 3-year-old son faces up to 18 months in prison.

A jury on Tuesday convicted Joshua Minyoung, 23, of Van Wert, of corrupting a minor with drugs.

A friend who visited Minyoung's house on July 2 testified that Minyoung pointed to his son and said, "Look at him, he is stoned."

Another person called Van Wert Children's Services, and the child's mother took the boy to a hospital where he tested positive for marijuana.

Assistant Van Wert County Prosecutor Eva Yarger said it was still unclear how the child took in the marijuana.

Judge Richard Steele of Van Wert Common Pleas Court will sentence Minyoung on April 27.

"circumcision bumper sticker"

So, get this-

Someone actually came to my site looking for a circumcision bumper sticker. Or at least that's what I gather, given this information provided by Site Meter:

Domain Name: in.us ? (United States Map | Flag | Facts)
IP Address: 206.106.120.# (ARIN - North America)
Time of Visit: Mar 13 2005 12:34:06 pm
Referring URL: http://www.google.co...en&lr=&start=20&sa=N
Search Engine: google.com
Search Words: circumcision bumper sticker

Now, some of you may remember a recent post of mine describing my adventures behind a car that had some bold statements to make - statements involving how circumcision is evil.

I'm left wondering, though, what kind of person would search for bumper stickers about circumcision on google. Probably some kind of über-Christian or Jesus-freak, as the first site listed in the search results, one of those WWJD? sites, would leave me to believe. There's also this site, where you can read about all kinds of people's children and learn way too much about their penises.

I also found this site among those search results, detailing what to do when you're chosen for "insta-salvation":
Please take any necessary actions to leave the Earth in a safe state:
* park your vehicle OR
* secure an alternate pilot
* unplug all coffee pots or hot-plates
* stamp out any cigarettes or open flames
* leave money on the table
* move towards open sky, skylights or at least upper stories


Is that for real? Just in case, here's some other advice to heed:
It is unsure whether the Divine Call will be heard by the unworthy, but those Left Behind will certainly become aware of the two big signs of the Rapture. Any Christian hearing stories of mass grave desecration, WORLD WIDE, should be able to determine the cause. But if you are still on Earth when the stories of millions of missing non-buried Christians are told, you may have to consider that you are not going to be taken up.


People are so weird, especially regarding religious and spiritual beliefs, but that's a whole different post.

the ides of march

Beware!

yes, they're real

So, Thursday night, I as usual went to Jason's apartment after work. I knew Cindy was going to come over, and I couldn't decide if I wanted to be there or go home. I think I felt like I just didn't want to deal with how to react if or when she asked to feel my breasts again - but come on, we all know she was going to ask. Unfortunately, we didn't know what time she was coming over - we only knew the time she said she was leaving work in San Francisco and getting on the Bay Bridge to head over to the East Bay.

I started doing my naked yoga...I was probably only at it for about 30 minutes when we heard the buzzer. It was Cindy, and I ran into the bedroom to hide. I assumed if I was in there with the door shut, she'd never know I was there; just as she was walking by the door, though, Jason's cell phone rang from within the bedroom, and he opened the door to get it. So she saw me, and I felt stupid. She didn't say anything though, so I don't really think she realized what was going on.

As I said before, she had just come from work; this basically meant that she was wearing very little of anything...except makeup, because she was wearing a ton of that. As far as clothes, she was wearing an extremely tiny Strawberry Shortcake top (it would have looked great on a little girl) over a sportsbra paired with black stretchpants, leaving her entire midsection exposed. Her abs looked pretty good, at least from across the room, but she was a little overly skinny (as in too skinny).

I gave her the conditioner she had asked for (only two of the ten bottles she asked for, though), and she paid me and thanked me a bunch. She started talking about makeup, and she was saying how she really wanted to do my makeup. All I could think was, given the way she looked, that she'd make me up to look like another stripper, fake eyelashes and all. She again started telling me how pretty and cute I am, how she liked my hair, and how we should definitely go out sometime. She took out some coke and cut a few lines for herself; she said she likes to keep it on her so she can get guys high at the strip club and then take their money.

I thought maybe she was getting ready to go, but I could feel her looking at me from across the room. Then she said it: "Can I please just feel your boobs? They are so gorgeous!" And, without thinking, I immediately said yes - just like I knew I would. So she walked across the room and knelt next to where I was sitting on the couch (with Jason sitting right next to me), and then she put one of her hands on my right breast and started lightly rubbing and cupping it. Then she put her other hand on my left breast and began lightly squeezing.
"Wow, your breasts are so awesome, they're so big for natural boobs!"
"Thanks..."
"Do you want to feel mine now? So you can see what implants feel like?" she asked.
"Yeah, totally," I said.

She took my hand in hers and placed it on her large round breasts. I wasn't really sure what to do, so I moved my hand around her breast like she had done to mine.
"Here, do you want to see them? I'm wearing this sportsbra thing and you probably can't feel it very well. Jason, turn around for a minute."

Jason turned his head, which wasn't a problem - I think he already felt a bit awkward. She lifted up her Strawberry Shortcake shirt and her sportsbra to expose her breasts to me. She again picked up my hand and pressed it firmly against her chest, and then she she held her hand on mine as she moved my hand around her breast. She had me rub her nipple and let me press hard where the implants were, since I'd never really felt anything like that before. Really, her breasts felt hard, but I guess that's normal for implants.

She started saying how she wished she could see my breasts and how they're probably gorgeous. I didn't really respond to her saying that - like I said about the last time, maybe if she asks me again in the future, I'll oblige.

She got up from the floor and asked if I wanted to see some magic tricks. Apparently she studies magic from a magician or something. Kind of random. All I remember is her pulling a coin out of her bra that was supposed to be in my hand...

Jason went in the other room, and then she came close to me and wanted to show me her stretch marks on her ab area. She even pulled down her pants a little, but I didn't see her pussy or anything...it was more just to show me her hips. She didn't look as good up close as she did from around the room, but it's not like she looked bad or anything.

Cindy left shortly thereafter, but not after telling me multiple times how pretty I am, and how cute I am because I seem a bit shy. Was she saying this because I didn't flash her my tits? Everyone I know tells me how un-shy I am - I guess when compared to a stripper, though, I could seem shy. Maybe it was because I'm not used to feeling other chicks' breasts? I don't know. She said again how much she wants to take me out so she can turn me into a wild woman. She also asked if I've considered dancing, because I "totally have the body for it."
"Not seriously!" I replied.

are my breasts real?

Last Sunday was a pretty awesome day. Despite the fact that I had to work, I was working with one of my best friends (and obviously my favorite coworker), and it was a beautiful day, so that made it a bit more bearable. After we got off of work at 5, we headed to the Berkeley Marina to watch the sunset, and also because I was really in a picture taking mood. We stayed until it got dark and left when we began to feel unsafe (random homeless people and whatnot). Then we went to Target, where I love to spend money. Actually, I just love to spend money period, but Target makes it pretty easy. I dropped my friend off afterwards, and headed to my boyfriend's house. [I'm just going to call him Jason from now on.]

So, the burning question.

When I got to his house, there was a girl named Cindy there, the girlfriend of one of his friends. I had heard of her before, but I hadn't actually met her yet. She seemed friendly, as she introduced herself right when I walked in and told me she's heard so much about me and it was great to finally meet me. Hmm, that was nice, I thought. Did I mention the fact that she's a stripper for a living? This is an entirely different issue, but does it bother me that Jason has strippers come over sometimes (not to strip, but instead for other kinds of transactions)? Yes, a little, but I'll talk about that another time.

I had been there about five minutes when I finally took off my jacket. Instantly Cindy was asking me if my breasts are real.
"Yeah, they sure are," I told her.
"Wow, they're so beautiful!"
"Thanks," I told her.
"I haven't seen such big beautiful natural breasts in so long, especially since I have implants. I would love to feel your boobs, they're beautiful."

Okay, honestly, right then I was thinking, what the fuck? Did this chick honestly just say she wanted to feel my tits? I mean, I admit, the idea was intriguing, but I didn't really know how to respond to this. I don't think I really said anything, but then we went and sat on the couch to smoke a bowl. She kept telling me how cute I am and how I have such nice hair...and how my boobs are beautiful and she wishes she could just feel them. Then she said to Jason a few times something like "isn't she so hot? Don't you just feel so lucky to have her?" It was kind of cool. I liked the attention, because, well, I just love attention (am I an attention whore? I wouldn't go to that extreme, but I of course like being admired...). The situation was one I'd never been in before, but I'm certainly not complaining. It definitely made me notice, though, that girls can get away with a lot - if a guy sat there in front of my boyfriend and said I had nice tits, that guy would get punched in the face. But since Cindy is female, that makes it all okay. My boyfriend probably even liked this chick ogling my breasts. I can't say I didn't.

So, Cindy left a little while later. She asked me if I'd be interested in babysitting for her son sometime. She's younger than me (she's 23, and her son is 4), and I always feel like people that are younger than me are too young to have children, especially since I am still childless (on purpose). I mean, she has to strip all night to make money to support her kid. When it's time for me to have babies someday, I will definitely be in a financially secure situation. None of this sketchy stuff. Sorry, I went off on a tangent. She also wanted me to get her some conditioner from my work and said she'd come pick it up later in the week. She told Jason to give me her number, so we could go out or something sometime. It's all very interesting to me.

Before she left, she admired my breasts again. I knew if she came over again and expresed interest in my breasts again - as in wanting to feel them - I'd probably oblige.

So then she came over again last night, actually...

thoughts

It's been an interesting week, as usual, though I really can't remember a lot of it. You know, the same things keep happening over and over until they eventually just combine into one big mass of events - events that may not necessarily be related, but somehow have become one big conglomerate of goings-on...and then they all occur as one memory when I attempt to recall them. So everything I did this week that I can't remember? It's all twisted up into the stuff that I do remember. Like work, for example - I went to work every day, and I'm sure I did different stuff each day, but do I really remember (or care) what I did each particular day? Or what I said to whom at a certain time on this date? No, I don't. I don't know that information (not off the top of my head, at least, but I am definitely anal enough that I could figure out anything I wanted to).

Do I really believe what I wrote in that first half of the paragraph above? Maybe to some extent, but I think it just sounded cool to me as I was typing it.

tonight I...

...watched Fat Actress. It was pretty funny. I mean, parts of it were really funny, but overall it was alright. It was only the first episode though, so we'll see what happens.

...ate an entire burrito. I was really stuffed afterwards, but it was well worth it.

...painted my toenails a really girly pink color called "Holy Pink Pagoda!" (It's the one at the very bottom, on the left, if you are actually going to look.) I usually like brighter hot pinks and deep reds, but I figured I'd try something different.

...smoked a bowl of kush. It was very good, and it got me extremely high. That's always fun!

...never put any makeup on. I felt naked all day! (Okay, that second link really has nothing to do with me at all, I just found it kind of amusing for whatever reason.)

...stopped by my house for all of ten minutes. You know, to make sure it didn't burn down or anything.

...should have gone to bed a lot earlier. As in, before right now. (I probably also should have woken up before 3:30pm, but whatever.)

this is nasty

Check out the pic that goes along with the article!

U.S. bans "eyeball jewelry"

NO CIRC

So yesterday, when I was driving to work, I was behind this car that had a license plate that said NO CIRC. What the fuck does that mean? No what? Circles? I figured the person was probably some kind of idiot, as I usually do, and quickly forgot about it. I stopped behind a car at a red light, and noticed a bumper sticker above the license plate; it said something like "Stop Medical Abuse, End Circumcision of Babies NOW!" At first I thought it was a joke bumper sticker, but then I realized that it was the same car with the NO CIRC license plate. Maybe it wasn't a joke. What kind of person personalizes their license plate to say NO CIRC, with CIRC meaning "circumcision"? Maybe someone whose own circumcision as a baby boy went terribly wrong? I didn't get to see if it was a guy or a chick driving, but either way, he or she was probably an idiot.

Happy March!

Let's make this a good month! I want to be productive, be healthy, and not spend money needlessly!

Hey, speaking of spending money, I actually went out and bought the Napoleon Dynamite dvd tonight. Yay! Now I can watch it a billion more times.

And, speaking of (not) being productive, I just found yet another annoyingly addictive little game. It's called blox. This should make my whole "be productive" part of my new month resolution (heh) just that much harder...

Hmmm...what major things do I want to get done this month? I suppose getting my taxes done is an important one; I think I'll drive to LA for a weekend, probably over Easter (free food!); I'd like to finally deal with setting up some kind of payment thingy for my student loans, as opposed to hiding from all those letters I get; I'd also like to deal with that last little bit of paperwork with school so I can finally technically be done; and, nevertheless, I would of course love to clean my room a million times over. Other not-so-pressing tasks to complete include looking for a new job, thinking about the whole grad school process and places to potentially apply, and thinking about possibly moving. I should also maybe try to stop smoking so much crack. (Okay, I hope you realize I was joking about that last one, I just found that website amusing and needed to link to it somehow!)

March should be an action-packed month - it's my boyfriend's birthday, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter all within a couple of weeks. Hey man, wanna party?
