Well the other day I was looking through my blog &amp; realized that wasn&#8217;t the case at all. I&#8217;m not sure why. I suppose I just get caught up in other things and sometimes it just slips away like a lost thought.<\/p>\n<p>So I have one, two or perhaps a few for you. As of the 11th: Happy Birthday to B Squared. Love you!<\/p>\n<p>I also want to wish my brother Michael a happy birthday as his will be here on the 14th.<\/p>\n<p>And finally here is a belated birthday wish to my brother (31st of last month) and to my mom (was on the 5th).<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m all caught up. I should be caught up for quite a while. All of the birthdays seem to happen in clusters.<\/p>\n<p>So first and foremost please keep my friend Ben in your prayers. He is dealing with some serious family events that are very recent and very raw.<\/p>\n<p>I have some other things I will blog about soon, but I&#8217;m going to keep this post generally upbeat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Beautiful day today, but rain is on the way&#8221; &#8211; local weatherman<br \/>\nI kinda liked the way it sounded but rain can be and is very beautiful as well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The other day I tried to prescreen\u00a0The Vow. Yeah I&#8217;m a sucker for some of those good sappy flicks, but it has to be good. I liked the notebook but didn&#8217;t like dear John, or ps I love you. So it just depends. Anyway&#8230; Here was here scene when we arrived:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jshox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120210-005022.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jshox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120210-005022.jpg?w=1122\" alt=\"20120210-005022.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It looks like, oh dear..

Except this time we weren&#8217;t prepared for it. I don&#8217;t think the studio was prepared for the fanfare we experienced. There were probably about 500+ in line for the show. I&#8217;ve never seen so many in all my pre-screening experiences. Needless to say that we and like 450 other people didn&#8217;t get in to see it. They overbooked the place like nobody&#8217;s business.<\/p>\n<p>There were so many people who\u00a0when everyone left and walked down Hollywood Blvd\u00a0it seemed like you were a sardine jam-packed in a can. Fun times.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway. That&#8217;s all I have for now.
