June 24th, 2011.
My best friend, passed away after a three and a half year battle with cancer.
My life changed, I lost my hero, but I gained a new view on life. Brian NEVER complained when he was sick, he always had a smile on his face, and would always crack jokes and make ridiculous noises.
I didn't get to say goodbye, I was getting ready to see him for the last time when I got the phone call. Maybe it was for the best that I didn't seem him that way, but I don't really know. Brian showed me that no matter how tough life gets, you have to keep moving. The world doesn't stop turning because your world does. He was the reason I stopped hurting myself, stopped doubting myself, my life, my happiness. I lost the most incredible friend I could have ever asked for, but knowing that he's not hurting anymore is what gets me through the day.
Brian, thank you for giving me a new outlook on the way I was living my life.
I love you and miss you. Always. <3

Canter the dog I am not a dog person. Why? Because sometimes I forget to get myself dinner. Because I never walk myself daily. Because I don’t play catch with myself and because I won’t change all that for a dog. That was my opinion anyhow before Canter came to stay. Don’t think I would have let him in easy--he is a golden retriever, which is to say he …

Marlo Thomas Is An Actress In 1974 my family loved watching Marlo Thomas on her TV show, That Girl. My mother would always refer to her as 'that darling Marlo Thomas' or by her longer name, 'that darling Marlo Thomas, I just love her'. We also loved I Dream Of Jeannie and Bewitched. Jeannie had a master who stoppered her into her bottle when she was bad and Samantha wasn't allowed to be her …
