Jimmy's Juke Joint

Happy New Year!

This was the only pic of me on New Year's Eve that I could find. Yes, it's Summer Glau and I on NYE a few years ago. You may remember that she was in town for awhile and we hung because of mutual friends. (Had to get that last name drop in before the new year!)

Everyone have a safe and happy new year! It's amateur night so watch out for the drunken idiots. I'll be the one getting them drunk at the bar. Here's hoping 2010 brings some more awesomeness! 

10 years ago today, I was a Prince's party with Apollonia while Morris Day kept trying to cock block me. We got crazy. We got nuts. Oh we oh we oh.

Guess Who's Still Got the Christmas Spirit?

That's right. ME! 

 

Best Christmas Gift Ever

On her 84th day in existence, my niece, Chloe, weighed in at 4 lbs. 1 oz! A true Christmas miracle!

For those just tuning in. My sis, Marsha, was due with Chloe on January 29th, 2010. She delivered Chloe way too early on October 5th, 2009. She was 1 lb. 5 oz. As you can imagine, things have been tenuous but Chloe is proving to be an amazing fighter and is doing really well. On Xmas day, she weighed in at 4 lbs! Sis should be able to take her home from the hospital near the end of January. 

Thanks to all for your continued support and love. Chloe has soaked it all in and will soon take this world by storm. You've been warned. 

 

Happy Boxing Day!

It's Boxing Day in the U.K., Canada, Australia and other spots. A day of mayhem where people take to the streets and just fight each other. The winner gets the loser's presents from the previous day's Xmas holiday. Good luck to all and don't beat each other up too much! 

 

Happy Christmas!

It's Christmas! I hope everyone is celebrating with friends, family, strippers, hobos or whomever you associate yourself with during this time. 

And I trust that you remember the true meaning of Xmas. 

The Baby Jesus rode an ass into Bethlehem and because his credit card was expired (1 BC), he couldn't get a room at the Holiday Inn. 

King Midas, King Arthur and Martin Luther King arrived too late because they were following a bunch of stars. Hey, they're paparazzi. It's their job. 

Santa saved the day and swooped in and made the Baby Jesus his Head Elf in toy making thus creating Christmas. Santa started eating cookies left by kiddies all over the world and just plain exploded from the sheer amount of cookie weight.  

So remember: Santa exploded for our sins and that's why we give gifts on Xmas. So don't let Santa and Head Toy Maker Baby Jesus down. Get to giving!

Happy Christmas Cartoons

I've had several friends of the cartoonist persuasion send me their Christmas cards. I just wanted to spread the love by sharing a few. First up, Andie Tong:

 

Next, Kevin Colden:

And finally, Tony Lee:

More to come, if you're lucky. If you're a cartoonist, feel free to send my way. I love them!   
 

SHE's No Grinch!

 

Deirdre Lorenz made my night last night. Actress/model/producer/etc. She's very sweet. Obviously stunning as well. That's not what did it. She walked in with a Santa hat and jingle bells around her neck. JINGLE BELLS! Being the big Christmas nerd that I am, I was thrilled. We chatted for quite a bit and I told her how happy I was to see her showing off her Xmas joy. Sure, a beautiful woman like that can get away with being a bit silly with the hat and bells, but it still shows how much she actually loves it. Or as she said about both of us... "It's passion!" 

There seems to be an abundance of Xmas haters this year and they can suck it. Deirdre and I will be leading the charge of spreading the Xmas joy. Look for a chubby Asian dude and hot blonde wearing Santa hats. 

Wait...isn't that the plot of NBC's Chuck?
