Yeah, I heard of that. Shit, I wish I could quit smoking. Corkey, where you been? Haven't seen you in here in a while.

minimandy14 - 8-8-2005 at 03:05 PM

It's sad that he died, he was a great journalist, lets just hope that us future journalists will look up to him and remember him for being a great man, as oppose to a smoker :P

Ibrahim Ferrer (Buena Vista Social Club) died also these days....



and Robin Cook - the former UK secretary of state, too.

It seems lots of people are dying nowadays. . . . .

poobs - 8-8-2005 at 07:44 PM

It's Peter JenningS..

minimandy14 - 8-9-2005 at 12:09 PM

It WAS Peter JenningS. . . may he rest in peace. . . .

corkey16 - 8-9-2005 at 12:51 PM

Oh, I left out the S. Sorry. I'll fix it.

corkey16 - 8-9-2005 at 12:53 PM

Oh also the editor of Ebony mag. died also. And a rumor that Ravon Symore too, but I don't believe that one.

minimandy14 - 8-9-2005 at 01:20 PM

There is also this crazy rummer that this person with the screen name minimandy14 died. . . .I think I should look into it. . . .

corkey16 - 8-9-2005 at 04:48 PM

Aw,:( Rummer?!?:lol: What's that? :P Just pickin at ya.

minimandy14 - 8-9-2005 at 05:03 PM

Well, I would like to tell you what a rummer is, but you wouldn't understand anyways ;)

corkey16 - 8-9-2005 at 05:21 PM

A large drinking glass or cup.
But that all I can think of.;)




But why does it matter.:)

minimandy14 - 8-9-2005 at 05:30 PM

I don't know, you were the one who asked ;)

corkey16 - 8-9-2005 at 05:40 PM

Cause you said someone rummer that you were dead. I guess they were drink from it while they did it....or something, I guess.

minimandy14 - 8-9-2005 at 06:06 PM

Yea I know. . . .you don't make and SENSE!

corkey16 - 8-9-2005 at 06:08 PM

Well you came up with the word, right?;)

minimandy14 - 8-9-2005 at 06:50 PM

Umm, So what does it matter? It's my life long dream to be just like President Bush. . . I like to throw a made up word in there every now and then, why do you have to make such a big deal about it? HU?! HU?!

JunoRedneck - 8-9-2005 at 10:31 PM

Have you ever read something that gave you the desire to just bash your own head against a desk until everything goes black?

Evil - 8-10-2005 at 12:25 AM

Just did.

poobs - 8-10-2005 at 05:49 AM

I was think more along the lines of or

minimandy14 - 8-10-2005 at 12:11 PM

I fear for my own safty . . . .

I think a combination of both.

poobs - 8-10-2005 at 09:19 PM

The tribute to him on abc tonight made me weep..:ticking:

corkey16 - 8-11-2005 at 10:34 AM

:( Awe.... The lady on Dallas died today to. And Also Matthew McGrody, the 7 foot actor that was on Big Fish and Adams Family.

minimandy14 - 8-11-2005 at 12:12 PM

Yea we watched that ABC thing in my Media class today, I was like "woa. . . woa. . . .If I wasn't at school" I probably would have wanted to cry. . . .

bananaboat - 8-11-2005 at 08:20 PM

You guys know Peter Jennings??

corkey16 - 8-12-2005 at 10:32 AM

Yes, he used to cut my lawn every Tuesday. Nice guy.

Not personally, but he was a great reporter, and he definatly paved a few new roads for future journalists, thats why its so sad that he died.

poobs - 8-12-2005 at 05:40 PM

He was my rock during 9/11..And him showing emotion when the buildings came down was so shocking to me..It made me fall in love with him..:D

corkey16 - 8-12-2005 at 05:56 PM

That's nice!! Peter would be pleased!!!!:D

Yea it takes a very special sort of person to be able to do that over national tv. When I found out that he was actually fired, and then when they asked him back, he returned, I was like man. . . .I don't think I would have gone back!

bananaboat - 8-15-2005 at 05:11 PM

I'm a dumbo.

corkey16 - 8-15-2005 at 05:22 PM

Aren't we all. :P:)

minimandy14 - 8-15-2005 at 05:34 PM

I'm not. . . . .

poobs - 8-15-2005 at 07:47 PM

Me neither..And neither are you, banana..:mad:

JunoRedneck - 8-15-2005 at 09:04 PM

The movie Dumbo makes me cry. Everytime I see it. It never fails.

poobs - 8-16-2005 at 06:13 AM

I can't watch it..:no: Or the Lion King..:no:

minimandy14 - 8-16-2005 at 12:28 PM

I love both of those movies! I love the pink elephants in Dumbo, and the songs in Lion King. . . . .

Evil - 8-16-2005 at 03:12 PM

I don't like Disney.

minimandy14 - 8-16-2005 at 04:02 PM

Is it because one parent is dead in like almost all of the famous ones?. . . .or just all of them in general. . . . .

yeah..The movies are cool..But they're also sad..:(

minimandy14 - 8-16-2005 at 06:08 PM

Yea, but they end happy. . . . . .

poobs - 8-16-2005 at 06:25 PM

But they have sad parts..;)

minimandy14 - 8-16-2005 at 06:29 PM

Yea. . . I suppose you're right. . . . .But I don't like to remember the sad stuff, I like to remember the happy inspirational parts! Hahaha.

Happy endings don't bring back Mufasa! Fuck Disney!

minimandy14 - 8-16-2005 at 07:23 PM

:lol: well. . . he's there in memory, he is in Simba! . . . .awe that just made me miss my kitty cat alot :( . . . his name was simba. . .we had to leave him back in washington :(

bananaboat - 8-17-2005 at 10:10 AM

Yeah I can't stand the Lion King, that a movie I wouldn't want to see again. And yes I am a dumbo. I thought Peter Jennings was a reporter for CBC and I was surprised that people in the States actually watch CBC. But he only started out at CBC and then to ABC. Therefore I am a dumbo.

minimandy14 - 8-17-2005 at 11:51 AM

Nor really. . .I mean he WAS Canadian. . .any person could make that mistake :P

poobs - 8-18-2005 at 05:58 PM

Weeeeelll..That WAS a bit dumb of you..But only a smidge.. ;)

minimandy14 - 8-19-2005 at 12:21 PM

I'm so full of hot cheetoes and water right now, it's no even funny!

poobs - 8-19-2005 at 07:10 PM

I love water..

minimandy14 - 8-19-2005 at 07:14 PM

ME TOO! How weird!

poobs - 8-19-2005 at 07:43 PM

I'm drinking some right now!!! :o

JunoRedneck - 8-19-2005 at 08:59 PM

I'm not drinking water right now! What a coincidence! This is crazy!

poobs - 8-19-2005 at 09:04 PM

Our moons must be aligning..:wow:

minimandy14 - 8-19-2005 at 09:25 PM

Hmm, speaking of water. . .I'm thirsty!
