Patrick Swayze Redo.....

I care not what religion you subscribe to, or even if you have no religion. Patrick Swayze needs all the prayers and positive energy sent in his direction that you folks can put forth. NO! I DO NOT KNOW THE MAN. I CAN LOVE HIM, AND HIS FAMILY, WITHOUT EVER HAVING MET HIM! The man is no coward, but, his pain right now has to be intense. I know, I have been through cancer, it hurts. He needs comfort, as does his family. I hope he gets over this situtation. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM!

PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!

Rudeness is rudeness, regardless the intent....

Not long ago I got a page on facebook. Actually, several of my friends kept pestering me until I caved in and got one. I like my privacy, and facebook seemed okay. I also had a myspace page, I quit it after getting swarmed with folks. I still get quite a few hits on this blog every week, even though I post infrequently now. I am very busy lately. What prompted me to write on my blog tonite? Well, one of the things I have noticed on facebook ,is that celebrities allow someone to sign on as their "friend" and then the person allowed access, begins to push for personal information. If the celebrity wanted that information to be public, they would put it up for all to see. You also have the situation where someone other than the actual celebrity, poses as said celebrity, and begins making a mess. Usually, this is someone who wants others to see that they are friends with the celebrity listed, on their friends page, of their facebook account. Below is an aerial photograph of Garth Brooks' new home.



I can promise you, that if you sneak in on Garth and Trisha's ranch, and actually make contact with ol' Garth...he will personally kick your ass!

Long gone are the days I would sit in my secret hide-out and write on my first book. There was barely enough room in that tiny cubicle to get around the desk holding those two computers. Do I miss those days? NO! I had just been in a bad car wreck, and my friend Cliff Jones would come up as often as he could to check on me. Those days were very painful, physically.

So friends, because you are included on someone's facebook friends list, does not mean you are actually that person's friend. If you want to be a real friend to them, stop prying into their private life. Those of you who read this blog, and are my friends, have my personal email address, and can get a prompt reply from me, as well as my phone numbers. If you do not have that email address, we are just friendly, not close friends.

PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!!

In answer to some very personal questions....

I am trying as hard as I can to keep this blog kid friendly. Recently, very recently, I received some very disturbing emails pertaining to what age a girl should begin having sexual intercourse. The girl who sent the letter to me states that she is thirteen years of age. Other kids have sent me emails asking advice on different subjects. Most have to do with dating, sex, and things teenagers worry about. On this posting, I am going to address some serious questions sent to me.

First of all, I give out a bit of personal information on my facebook page. You have to be an accepted friend to get to that information. Am I trying to hide things from the public? No, I just value my privacy, plus, I have a few celebrity friends on there, and we use facebook as a means for us to communicate without the world knowing. Emails can and do get intercepted. The reason I include this tidbit of information is to emphasize that I do value my privacy, and as well the privacy of my friends.

Maria (not her real name) you need to understand something, at the age of thirteen, you are far too young to even consider havin an active sex life. You are still a child. You do not need to be texting explicit photos of yourself to anyone. Child, there should not even be photos of you without clothing on. Am I old fashioned? No, I keep up with modern things. Am I old? That is a matter of opinion, but, I will state that I am old enough to be your mother's father, and possibly, her grandfather. You asked my advice and so I am going to give it to you. From my heart to yours.

The first thing I want you to understand is that your body is yours, not your boyfriend's and it is certainly not a toy. When someone, and I mean anyone, touches you on your private parts, or touches you in an inappropriate manner, you need to tell someone in authority. My suggestion is to go to your favorite teacher at school, and let them know everything that took place. Do not make up things that did not happen, but by the same token, be honest when you tell what happened.

I do not care what your friends tell you, you are too young to be going out on dates at the age of thirteen. A more appropriate age to begin dating is sixteen, and then, whomever you go on the date with should keep their hands unto themselves. There are so many sexually transmitted diseases circulating around in our society, that to be active sexually is a good way to die young, and in pain. I will not try to preach my morals to you, or the other kids who email me. However, I will tell you all one big thing to remember....you are children, not adults. Enjoy being a kid for as long as you can, you have the rest of your life to be an adult. I will answer the rest of the inquiries by email. Be warned though, I do keep copies, and if there is something I feel is close to being illegal, I do report it to the appropriate authorities.


PLEASE, LET'S HAVE SOME PEACE!!!

Dry as a bone.....

It is dry in the Arbuckles. Actually, all of Murray County, Oklahoma is dry. Actually, all of Southern Oklahoma is dry.....



It does not matter how dry it gets, if there is any way at all to make mudpies, my grandkidz will figure it out....

This is my favorite fishing creek, Rock Creek. Usually, you can thow a line out, and within five minutes you have one of the largest Sun Perches you have ever seen. Yes, even though they are bony, I cook 'em up and eat 'em anyway. There is usually Catfish, Crappie, Sand Bass, Large Mouth Bass, and Alligator Gar in the creek too. I do catch and eat all the above. The one thing thwarting that past-time is the fact that where all that monkey grass is in the creek, it is usually under a nice flowing stream...

It has been burning here in our mountains....I thought about hanging a ham out to smoke in the open air.....

Three days later, the smoke was still there.....

Maybe if I go hide out in the studio, everyone will think I died and they will just leave me alone....or....I could just not shower for a few weeks and wear the same clothes.....

PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!!

Idol Worship....

I receive a great deal of email pertaining to celebrities. Yes, I know quite a few, and most I met long before I ever got published as an author. From the bent of most emails, there is quite a bit of idol worshipping going on. Not just kids, I get emails from adults wanting to know everything I know about so and so....Well, ain't gonna happen, not specifics anyway.

I do want to let those of you who persist in asking know, no, I am not rich, and no, I do not hang out with a bunch of movie stars. Did I used to? NO! Mostly, it was my job to protect them. I still honor those non-disclosure agreements I had to sign, even though I was a cop most of the time.

I will tell you one thing to remember. Most of the folks you idolize are miserable, especially the screen actors. They have all your warts, and then some that are much larger than yours. You might also be surprised to know that many of them, even the prime "A" list movie stars, are always in need to gather more money. When you have multiple homes, a large staff, lots of expensive habits, it takes boatloads of cash to service all that stuff. When you own multiple homes, and you are a celebrity, you cannot just leave the house locked and only unlock it when you are staying there. People can and will break into your home and steal anything they can, especially if you are a celebrity, ergo, they have to have someone living there.

I do want to say one more thing. The celebrities I know can be broken down into two categories of actors:


Those who will work on stage as a preference, and do the big screen once in awhile, and those who desperately work on maintaining their status as a screen actor. I have found those who work on stage have a much firmer grasp as to what really matters in life.

Rock Stars? Known a bunch, worked for a bunch, jammed with a bunch, and they have their own world they live in. There are good and bad in all different categories of celebrities.

I know a large amount of celebrity types who are always broke, always needing an infusion of cash. They never learned that their hedonistic habits create situations whereby they can end up broke. This is more prevalent all the time. There are pawnshops in the Hollyweird area who specialize in lending to movie stars and such. Believe me when I tell you those pawnshops are making a great deal of money right now. When you can loan a thousand dollars on a wrist watch containing three thousand dollars worth of gold......well, you get the picture. This is the last time I will address this subject on this blog. I am too busy to answer all the different emails I receive, and no, I am not being stuck up...I just do not have time to answer all of them. I try specifically to answer the ones I know are from a kid, the rest I usually do a mass mailing as way of an answer. I have to get off this infernal machine now, and tend to business.

PEACE!

Why Not to Drink Booze.....

I am trying to keep this blog kid friendly, I think the following can be viewed as a public service....


It was a very convoluted path I took, to get to the point that I actually have a large number of celebrity friends and contacts. The process was too long for me to post on here. Me? Nope, I ain't rich, and am just a tad famous. Most of my celeb friends I have had for years and years. Only one of these folks displayed in this posting used to be a friend. Now? I won't elaborate, but we no longer speak, write email, or anything else. The celeb knows which one I am speaking of.

I also have many friends in the papparazzi business. Hope I spelled that right. They send me their latest photos, after they have been published, and are in the public domain. You notice I am not attaching any names to these photographs.

Any one of these folks could buy and sell me out of their petty cash fund. However, even with all the worldly goods these folks have, they seem to have this drive to get drunk at times.

I guess they all have their own demons to quash. I mean after all, alcohol makes one appear so glamourous!

Do any of these folks ever read this blog? I know that at least my old friend does. There is an obsession there, the need for control. Alcohol and drugs, can and will, destroy personal relationships. Not just with family and friends, but also with business partners. Just push away from that bottle and things will improve, I promise they will. I have prime examples of this being true in my own family. Nuff said...

PEACE! IT'S GOOD FOR YA!

Dining at Bill's.....

One of the best kept secrets in southern Oklahoma, is a small restaurant, tucked away in the town of Davis, named Bill's Chester Fried Chicken.....



Bill Mayo and his wife Julia, work really hard at providing the best meal you ever put your mouth around. Their menu is so large, they have to post it in sections around the restaurant.....

Today, March 24, is my marriage anniversary, so yesterday Linda and I went to Bill's to eat a steak, we always celebrate early. The salads Bill brought out were huge, and we had the run of the buffet if we wanted it too. Incidently, the un-named (due to request) celebrity couple in the background were thoroughly enjoying their meal. Bill seems to draw quite a few "A" listers when they are in southern Oklahoma. Word got out I guess.....

Everybody was giving me a hard time about my personal eating "bib". At least my sweetheart loves me anyway.....

Then my KC (Kansas City) strip steak arrived. Makes me hungry just looking at it.

All joking aside, this summer when we are filming, I will most likely get even fatter than I already am. Bill is gonna do the catering to the film set....

PEACE!
