I believe in being myself and being real and letting the chips fall where they may. Not on the carpet because they can leave grease spots. I like individuality, but I’d still buy a silver Toyota and blend into the fray. Maybe even listen to the Fray. I’d say buy American but I wouldn’t. I moved away and the idea of disappearing and not disappointing was so refreshing. No one knows D.C. here and expects me to be him. HA jokes on me. The islands are looking more appealing all the time. that is not a threat. i don’t threaten. it is just an observation.

I hate feeling sick to my stomach over the thought i have let you down.

So I have this obsession. I like products with logos. I collect crap adorned with random company logos.
I have a pint glass from Hogs Breath Saloon in Key west. Funny Bone glasses from an out of business joint in Kansas City, A pint from Maria’s in Springfield, Duluth Pack nalgene. I had a Jax nalgene till I lost it and an old shot glass for a Mexican brand of Tequila. I also have a couple glasses from Kens Pizza, a pizza Chain that was bought by Mazzios. But the best of my mix and match printed glass ware is a sweet challis, from the Lambda Chi Alpha, Home coming 1969, done in carnival glass. It is a full 20oz and is so stinking cool.
Why am I telling you all this.
I think it would be great fun to have a branding company. A Graphic design company that not only came up with cool designs but looked at items the company already has and uses and what out of these items could be replaced with better products I could provide.
So Sunday I stopped off at Cabelas and I am doing a casual walk through of the clearance items looking for something specific, and I spot this cooler.
I know I ice chest whoop tee doo! I love to tube and I love to do volunteer work at the church, but in the Texas heat both things require a cold beverage to be ready at hand. My coolers are both crap. Well one that I used Saturday was anyway. There was this cooler called a Yetti. It was huge I was in love and so I took a brochure. Come to find out they are made right here in Driftwood. They are the best cooler you can buy I am in love I want one. Then I am on their website and they will do a Custom logo appliqué. So now I am on a quest to find a yeti cooler that has a logo. Maybe even a club-brown logo. At any rate if I did have my branding company and I needed to sell an ice chest to someone I would use this company.
That is all.

“It is wrong
It is just plain wrong for a person to profit from some one else name.”
That is what the commentator said right before interviewing me for a show. I was like “the gall. And the pot calls the kettle black.” He blinked blankly back at me as if I weren’t making any sense. “You idiot, you think I am going to sit here and let you tell me what and what for? You got another thing coming.” I think he was so stunned no one said anything as I stood up untucked my shirt they insisted I tuck in and walked off the little stage, and straight out the door. I hate the 700 club and why had I even come here for an interview? I don’t need them, and of all the things to say at the start of an interview. Jerry Fallwell would have more tact. Good lord.  As I got in my car to leave I felt something at my back.  Yep I had taken their wireless microphone and I hope it was still on recording my mutterings all the way out of the place.
That is how my week started. All this fall-de-rall over some one making Jesus action figurines’.
I don’t care their cool. I don’t do figurines but heck why not if your into dust collectors and crap like that buy a “Jesus playing soccer with a young boy” item number 343356 if you want and why do I care if the Christian book store has them for sale or not.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how many tie s you say it. I am Jesus’ brother. I was born when he was like 29 and I didn’t really know him.  We weren’t close or anything.
OK I am sorry; I said all that to say this. When you are not famous but your siblings are or in my case were the media is always gonna make you  out to be an idiot. And I hate it.
Case in point; Other than Janet or Michael (may he rest in peace) who of the other Jackson family is worth their salt huh? None of them. The Kardashians? Or however you spell their name. I mean if you wanna call Kim the famous one, what do the other kids have? The fat one is funny but um nothing. I mean I am sure these people are fine in their own right but don’t film them and make them look all stupid. The famous siblings shit smells just as bad and if they can piggy back a shoe designing career off your singing or sex tape with famous guys fame more power to them I say.
Someone make s a Jesus Action figuring and I am supposed to be upset that I didn’t think of that. Please.  That is not me. I don’t own the rights to his name; I am just his baby brother.
