OMG I ALMOST FORGOT!

and then prince surprised the ladies of the view
prince is like 78 years old and stills got it.
i love that even barbara walters has no idea how to handle herself and thinks the only way she can bond with prince is to try to impress him with a beiber quote.
but i doubley love that prince doesnt even know that he alleges to play piano and drums.
“i hope he picks up an instrument.”
anyways prince ftw times infinity
“hang time”
palm reader says youre a libra on scorpio cusp

tony says youre a palm reader
your palm says see chart pick a card
one a hearts
dog barks someones at the door
kid opens, is ilka home
no
or do you want the bad news
gimme the good
youre capable of entirely anything
what about the bad
you said you only wanted the good
well now i want the bad
why
the little kids flipping past peoples court
news batman news news
turns off tv
slams nerfball
and right now youre in the middle of everything
but there are more paths than you think
show guts
and when you cant
pretend
there was a time that when i blogged people would take pictures
theyd gather round in awe and watch and take notes and secretly call their friends
“hes doing it right in front of me”.
but alas those days are over. im a child star who’s now an awkward adult.
im a classic rock band and no one wants to hear the new stuff.
FREEBIRD! they yell.
but unlike rock groups or crooners, a blogger’s past is unimportant to the kids.
unlike Jane’s Addiction i cannot just play Nothings Shocking for an audience and see them satisfied with delight at the umpteenth rendition of Jane Says.
but i dont despair, in fact i embrace the challenge. growth is what we should aim for. instead of making greatest hits and living in the past, we should constantly be striving to be better today than we were yesterday.
which is why i love blogging because the scoreboard is unblinking: suck and people will stop reading, rule and the rewards are plentiful.
today howard stern was given a new contract worth, reportedly, $80 million in cash for each of the next five years that he broadcasts his show on Sirius satellite radio. thats how people should be rewarded: kick butt, get paid.
unfortunately it doesnt always work out that way. sometimes you get rewarded for hitting .196, sometimes you dont get rewarded even though you’re kicking booty.
for those people i say hang in there baby, as led zep says, your time is gonna come.
every day you should learn five things
, laugh, cry, and love.
1. Nick Cave + Harry Potter + very interesting tale as to how the two met up = 10k Facebook shares in just a few days
2. All you have to do is hit .196 in your contract year and the Cubs will sign you for $10 million for a year
3. A male XXX performer usually gets $200-$800 for filming a straight scene and $1,000-$2,000 for a gay scene.
4. Groupon passed on a $6 Billion offer from Google to buy it. “… a $6 billion pricetag represents nearly a fifth of Ebay’s enterprise value, more than a third of Yahoo’s, and twice that of IAC and AOL.”
5. Baltimore Oriole first baseman Luke Scott seriously does not believe that Barack Obama is eligible to be president.

i want a candy bar
but im at work and its a long way to the machine
so im eyeing this packet of Mayonaise that’s tempting me from across my desk.
these are the reasons the terrorists hate us.
if they still do hate us, which i doubt they do.
the only people who should hate us are the Canadians because we pollute their waters and skies and talk trash about their health care – as if!
tonight im gonna have some drinks with the man who sold me the old car
then i am gonna go home and dig into Proverbs.
im more than half way through the bible – cover to cover – and i feel like im picking up steam.
one lesson i learned from Psalms: dont be a cheesy ass boring whiner
do you know who i miss? the pants.
pictured here without any.
if you add up all the good moments i had with the pants and subtract all the not so good moments, you’d have a negative number.
but she had a few things going for her that i really admire.
lets start with the karaoke.
ive known quite a few people who are really into karaoke, but that girl’d karaoke to pretty much anything anywhere
any time.
once we went karaoking at a club that once pulled the plug on a band named nirvana. she was so drunk she later puked on the way home. but like how jim nahbors never stutters when he sings, the pants didnt slur while she was drunkaraoking.
which brings us to her dancing.
damn natural. would dance to anything. anywhere.
even at her most annoying someone would turn on the radio and shed get to dancing. not really in a sexy way, more like a happy way. didnt matter if the room was filled mostly with dudes who ended up just watching, shed dance and smile and itd make you think about the song better.
but the reason i miss her is because she was a blogger at the very top of the top percentile.
i dont know why she stopped, what shes up to, what her deal is, or why the caged bird doesnt sing, but the blogosphere and in turn, the world, is missing out on something very special.
which when in one of her blog posts,
was never annoying.
not once.

there was a time when no one said no to me about nothing
hey everyone lets do this, id say and they would.
hey you two girls lets have a fashion show contest and theyd be all whoo hooo.
id write letters to famous companies and theyd say omg tony pierce wants to work for us? roll out the red carpets.
but life changes. mojo gets stolen. hair disappears. bellies inflate. etc etc etc. and people get used to saying no to me.
not sure i understand it. other than this is the part of life that separates the man from the boy. not sure i like it. but will have to maintain decorum. and drink more of course.
and read more books because clearly im not the only soul who has found himself living a life he was never prepared to live.
ok fine, books on tape.
films based on books.
that can be found streaming on netflix.
after all these years it was pretty great to see The Wall
i didnt take a lot of pictures because for most of the show i was all wow.
pretty much as expected, bro built a wall as they played the songs from the album
your pal the pig was there
they even had a very classy intermission
afterwards we took the train home and karisa tried to hide her bangs – to no avail
it rained a little and we shoulda prob taken a cab home but it was fun to ride with LA
especially my first place Bears fan who had the hat, jacket, and even gloves
i <3 LA
