Facebook Friend of the Week- Neil Harvey

This is not actually his picture but Neil Harvey is indeed a newspaper reporter (as I was until 2006) with "The Roanoke Times."

He is the same age as me and a fellow movie fanatic with a pet cat. If he becomes a community college teacher one day (my present job), I might have to believe in parallel universes. Let's just hope his mom is slightly less domineering!

Harvey is currently reading "The Night in Question" by Tobias Wolff.

He is a fan of Stevie Wonder and Dinosaur Jr.

Harvey is alumnus of Radford High School who admits to having no sense of smell. He also remembers that the Ryan O'Neal road movie "Paper Moon" (1973) was the first film he ever saw, and it was part of a double-bill at a drive-in.

And, Harvey has a Facebook page for his 17-year-old cat Beowulf. We sincerely hope budget cuts in his industry* don't affect the amount of Fancy Feast he buys at Winn-Dixie.

*- Alas, education is getting whacked too! Though, at the moment, I somehow have four classes.

Quote of the Day- Heidi Montag

At one point in one of my blogs, I actually compared "The Hills" to a Jean Luc-Godard movie.

I'm not sure why I did that or what I was thinking, but you'll love this quote from Heidi Montag:

"Jesus was persecuted and I'm going to get persecuted, ya know?"

Political Confusion Test (entry 11 of 21)

Today, in our 11th installment of The Political Confusion Test, we ask our blog readers (all 12 of you) which event would rather attend.........a good ole fashion pig roast with a banjo picker complete with lots of trailer park Republicans, or a Rush Roast where the blabbermouth radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh is skewed over an open pit and roasted........(yes, we would make sure he was in his boxer shorts, and no one would actually have to eat him!). I would love to stick a tomato in the mouth of a man who had the nerve to say that actor Michael J. Fox was exaggerating his complications from Parkinson's Disease. I guess I know where I stand on this one!

Coming this Weekend- Blogathon II

Yes, we will once try to post 14 entries in a matter of days in order to play 'catch up.'

We'll see how this goes!

In the mean time, you can read another blog entry about me at guyslitwire.blogspot.com

It's a cool site.

We promise..........!

Facebook Friend of the Week- Erroll Gokbudak

This week's Facebook friend of the week is my cousin and fellow Chicago Cubs fan Erroll Gokbudak. But, perhaps more interestingly than that is the fact that Erroll is a huge NASCAR fan even though he lives in Chicago. I, on the other hand, live 28 miles from a major race track and I don't give a flying eff about the sport. I suppose I won't be going to be going to the Richard Petty Museum in Randleman, NC, any time soon, but then again....Erroll just might!
