Wet, Wild n' Woolies

Before you start assuming what this blog is about. It's about a segment I use to watch circa 1988 on KCOP (Los Angeles). I think it came on during The Comic Strip. I found these segments on a tape with some Street Frogs, Karate Kat, and Tom and Jerry cartoons. I was wondering if anybody out there knows if this segment was local or not? Look at it. It looks so 80s. The opening would start off as Woolie morphing into different looking strange animals.Here's what it was about Woolie the Woolie would narrate some type of nature footage. There was one about alligators, the everglades, and the desert among others. Here is the title card.

The tape mentioned is not for sale or trade

Try to Bolt

My last blog was a bit off... August is a tough month for me. I'm back...sort of. I practiced driving some more. I'm still having problems I bolted out of a parking lot. (nothing happened though) I'm getting better little by little. I'm still having problems turning the wheel.

Just for fun I decided to look up my old driving school online just to see what people have written about it. There are no yelp reviews on it, but citysearch has some. There were 6 and 4 of them were positive. I think the positive reviews were written by paid employees. I still haven't checked yahoo local.

Bullyz Rule!

I hate when people say about being the bigger person. What a lie! That was obviously written by a bully. Like that sticks and stones phrase. That was obviously written by some verbal abuser.

Things That Were Around in 1986

I caught myself watching a dubbed (in Portuguese) version of the Metal Hero series Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion. It was kind of funny/strange. Too bad the station it was shown on is kind of weak and sometimes I don't get good reception.

The house I use to live in from '86-'92 got knocked down. The whole lot of 3 did. I didn't see it; my mom did. The houses were there just last month. I wonder if the blackberry bush was still there? The funny thing is that back in my memoir class we had to write a story about the first house we lived in. The class also had to draw a picture/map of their old neighborhood and include it with the story. I couldn't remember what the lot looked like exactly, so I cheated and used Google maps. I also found a picture online of a Toys R Us that looked like the one I lived across the street from. (Which is also not there anymore) I also cheated with that. I printed out a picture of the store, and affixed it to my drawing. Luckily we did not have to turn it in. It was poorly drawn and I was embarrassed by my work. I lived in a house prior to that from '84-'86, but I don't remember. The landlord had been saying he was going to knock down the houses since 1992. That's been 18 years. Back when I had a bad haircut. Wait I still do. I wonder if he still owns that property?

Free Sample!

I was thinking about my comedy album. Which right now is a long ways away. Some relatively unknown artists and bands give away whole albums for free. I was thinking about doing the same thing. But that is not really a good idea to give away a whole album for free. I was thinking about how Shirley released only one song. (This was before she posted the other one.) Funny I was thinking about that. If and when I do release my comedy album I'll just put an excerpt of it up for free.

I haven't really said anything about "Pretty Horses" I don't know what to think of it. Her voice sounds sultrily. It sounds blues-y and sort of reminds me of a Mary J. Blige song. I will say the same thing I said about "In The Snow" with this song and that is the song doesn't seem finished. I mean polished.

I've only listened to it a few times. I haven't even let it scrobble on my lastfm. I will soon.

Shirley releasing a new song is great, but that doesn't mean August will be a good month. The month is young and I have a gut felling something bad is going to go down. (Like last year) My intuition is going off like crazy. (This will be a personal thing)

Age Card

I hate when old people play the age card on me. It's like the race card. That kind of "you have to listen to me because I'm older and wiser than you". Look, there are dumb and smart older and younger people. Age doesn't always equal experience. I'm not trying to sound brash. People can get bad advice from anyone at any age.

My neighbor is nosy, annoying and boring. He acts like he can "citizen arrest" us for something. He thinks he knows everything. His conversations are just so BORING! *sigh*. I should get my neighbor to have a conversation with those boring people from my class. I'd love to see that. But not have myself get dragged into it, but I'd have them go in one of those observation rooms with a double mirror. It'd be snooze fest. -_- ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz....

Driving and Doggie

I drove today! Well sort of. I was driving up and down the driveway. The driveway where I live is long. I was practicing in it. I had to make sure I stopped with enough space not to hit the Buick. Even if I"love tapped" it. That's a phrase from the People's Court.

There was this cute little dog who got into the yard. It looked puppyish. It was a light brown color with white marks. It almost went in the house. Eventually it went back to wherever it belonged. It must be a puppy. The yelping was bothering my dad of course. I have a feeling this is going to be a bad month. I can sense it.
