Mike Starr Former Bassist of Alice In Chains Dies At 44

Wow, this sucks! I just heard.

Mike Starr was found dead in a Salt Lake City home Monday dead. He was 44 years old.

I had never heard of Mike before watching Celebrity Rehab.  Mike had a very rough time in rehab and I was worried he wouldn't be able to stay clean. I had hopes that the reminder of his friend Layne Staley's death, (Also a member of Alice In Chains) would help to keep him clean. I was so happy when Mike decided to continue on to Sober House after Celebrity Rehab. I really hoped he would beat the drug addiction, he was working so hard on getting all his problems under control.

Conviction

I gave this one a three star.

Inspired by a true story about a high school drop out (Hillary Swank) who's brother is convicted of murder. She believes he is innocent, puts herself through law school and with the help of Barry Scheck and the Innocence Project gets him out of jail.

Florida News Headlines - What The Heck?

It's not even hot yet.

Disabled daughter run over, killed - A 77 year old father was driving his truck and it appears he accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and ran over his daughter who was in a wheelchair and her caregiver. The daughter died and the caregiver is in critical but stable condition. How sad.

Women attacked by bobcat - A woman and her dog were attacked by a bobcat, the husband beat the bobcat with a stick to stop the attack. Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission said the bobcat must be sick as this is not usual behavior. Duh!! Beware in Grant, it's still on the loose.

Right At Your Door

This is an interesting movie about a couple living in Los Angeles when a dirty bomb goes off. The movie stars Mary McCormack and Rory Cochrane.

I don't want to say too much and give the story away.

Seems to be a low budget film, but the plot was quite interesting. Makes you ask yourself what would I do in this situation. How far do you go to help family, neighbors or strangers in a crisis?

Deadliest Catch - Has Jake Anderson's Father Been Found ?

So I'm sitting here watching Deadliest Catch reruns and I started wondering if Jake Anderson's father was ever found. I set out on a mission to see what I could find.

This is what I found.

Jake's father went missing on January 6, 2010.

His name is Keith Anderson, 63 years old, he was a retired school teacher/high school counselor for 23 years at Anacortes, WA. High School where he lives.  He evidently had gotten addicted to Oxycontin when he was given it after surgery on his rotator cuff, and then again about six months later for broken ribs. (I don't know why they don't outlaw this drug, it seems to do more harm than good.) Anyway he went to meet a drug dealer to purchase some Oxy in Sultan or Arlington (I've seen both places named) and was never seen again. He also reportedly had high blood pressure which he left the medicine for at home, and he was suffering from depression. The depression certainly is understandable after losing his daughter Chelsea Dawn in 2009. My guess is the Oxy was adding to the depression problem not helping it.

Stupid People Doing Stupid Things !

I guess it's good I haven't gotten to know most of my neighbors, because they keep getting hauled away.

One of my neighbors, we'll call him Mr B is a very sweet 75 year old man. He starts his day off with a cup of coffee and the rest of the day he drinks beer, until the evening when he often switches to Vodka. Needless to say I try and chat with him in the mornings. Mr B usually spends his day making rounds to various neighbors to say hi and see if he can do anything to help them. He really is a sweetie with a heart of gold, even if he would probably bleed beer from all the drinking. My mom was here for Christmas one year and questioned how old Mr B was, when I told her she responded "the alcohol sure has preserved him well". Which was a good point since most alcoholics look way older than they are, and Mr. B looks younger than he is.

Survivor Nicaragua Episode 7

I am totally bored with this show, I'm not sure why I'm still watching it. So yes, I put off watching it until I had nothing else to watch, which is today.

Hope something interesting happens tonight.

Ohhhh! Poor Chase! Not a good place to get hit.
