DJ AM Dies - Source TMZ
Wow I just heard the news via friend update on Facebook. DJ AM died of an alleged overdose of drugs and was found dead in his New York apartment this afternoon. Friends haven't heard from him in days and someone went to check on him and there was no answer at the door so the friend called the cops who gained entry and found him dead with some drugs nearby.
I remember hearing about him being in the plane accident with Travis Barker which was horrible that they went through that. I think that was around the time or maybe after Travis Barkers reality show. I'm so glad that they survived the crash but it's really sad to hear that he died in this manner.
My heart goes out to DJ AM's friends and family during this difficult time.

Kidnapped 18 years ago, found with 2 kids
California Girl Kidnapped 18 Years Ago Kept as Sex Slave in Couple's Backyard - Source Foxnews.com
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASx5ThZLMzQ
This poor girl was kidnappend 18 years ago by a sex offender and kept as a sex slave in this couples back yard. The man who kidnapped her fathered 2 children who are now 11 and 15 years old. None of them have been to school which is a real shame.
This poor girl, now woman, is going to need a lot of therapy and so are her 2 children. This whole story makes me sick that she was kidnapped and kept as a sex slave.
The couple and the kidnapped victims all walked into the police station where the couple turned themselves in. It's just too bad it took 18 years for them to do the right thing. This should've never happened. Now the man is claiming that he is a different person and that he's changed yadda yadda yadda. He is a registered sex offender, how did his probation officer never search the property? I think they should start searching the property of all these sex offenders every so often. You never know what your gonna find and they just might save lives.

GPS Gives You 4 Days Of Your Life Back
Study: GPS gives you four days of your life back - Source Dvice.com
This is a very interesting article about how a GPS can give you back 4 days of your life per year. How can they make such a claim? Because when you use a GPS to get around it can help you to avoid getting lost as well as avoiding traffic jams. So basically you get to your destination faster, you use less gas, you waste less time and spew less carbon dioxide into the air.
I personally think that this is a true claim. Just yesterday I printed directions from google maps to drive to a customers house to deliver some packages for Chip, he works at a lighting store and he had to make 2 deliveries. I went with him so we took his SUV instead of his work van because he really can't have anyone in the van with him. So anyway, I was telling him where to go according to the printout and we almost got lost because of the street names. There is Stine and New Stine, we were supposed to turn left on New Stine and stay on Stine when it changes but I had him turn on Stine instead lol. It's very confusing. We got all the way to the dead end and were like where the heck are we?
We ended up getting there but we could've gotten there sooner if Chip had a GPS instead.
Having a GPS not only saves time, gas and the environment but it also saves money on paper and printer ink.

Everyone Deserves A Roof
I was browsing this website which features a concept design for building a little trailer home for a bicycle and one of the commenters linked this.
Everyone Deserves A Roof aka EDAR
This is meant specifically for the homeless in Los Angeles who cannot or will not go to one of the homeless shelters. Cannot because they don't have enough cots or will not because they are too proud or whatever reason they might have.
It's a cart during the day that you can roll around to collect your cans and bottles for recycling or maybe even perhaps to store your belongings in then at night it's a tent to sleep in. If you do decide to go to the shelter you can sleep in your EDAR and have privacy instead of sleeping on a cot with everyone else.
When I was kicked out of the house by my mother when I was 17 I was homeless. I was living place to place for short periods of time until the person I was staying with no longer wanted me there. Eventually I had to go to a shelter in Simi Valley and stayed there for many months until the program ended for the summer. By then I was back on my feet and renting a room in the home of a Vietnamese family.
So when I hear about something like this it makes me happy that there is something to help the homeless during the time they cannot go to the shelters. But the issue is, where can you set it up and sleep in it without the cops opening the flap up and telling you to move somewhere else?
This is a good thing for homeless people in my opinion.

Doctor Visit
I went to my regular doctor today and told him that I'm still having shoulder pain despite the steroids and muscle relaxers the RN from the Neurologist gave me. I told him that she was going to give me a referral for another specialist but that could take weeks, months even and I just can't suffer like this for months. She said that I would have to see a specialist before I could get a cortisone shot.
Well, my regular doctor said if they had those x-rays they could just give me the shots there. I called the neurologist office and asked them to send the x-rays to my doctors office because I'm tired of messing around. This has been going on for too long now, 5 weeks in excruciating pain.
In the meantime he gave me a prescription for Vicodin (SWEET) and that should be ready soon. The thing is, I've taken that for this pain and it doesn't help. Well, then again, that prescription expired on 2/09 so maybe that has something to do with it lol.
When my toenails were taken off I was in a lot more pain than this and the vicodin numbed the pain so if it works for that then it should work for this.
Sad news about my doctor though, today was his last day. He's moving back east and he said something about making more money so that's good I guess. It's not easy working for the city in a clinic I guess, you just don't make as much as you would've thought you would when you went to Medical school. I'll miss him and have to get used to yet another doctor.
