Ok so the guy who filmed the police roughing up the young African-American boy has now been arrested.
A bunch of police swarmed him apparently Thursday morning and arrested him for outstanding tickets. As he was shoved into the van a CNN camera man started filming just outside the van and all you can hear is this boy screaming for Help!!
Apparently he got hurt and had to be taken to hospital where he was released this morning but then put right back in jail.
I mean this is unbelievable, the police are even subtle about clearly using brutality towards this boy, who by rights is allowed to film anything he bloody well wants to. Now of course he's upset the police, so they decided to take it upon themselves to grab him and then proceed to beat the crap out of him.....just insane!!
So I got an email from another old pal from school this morning Beverley Smith. I'm telling you FriendsReunited.Com is just the best.
We went to a party when we were kids and she got really drunk on "Strongbow Cider", and was then sick as a dog all the way home. I told my mum that she was ill, that she'd eaten something dodgy, but my mother clearly knew she was pissed so started to ply her with tons of coffee. It was a riot. I also seem to remember some guy with dyed blonde hair with bits of black sucking at my neck for a while, god you should of seen the size of that love-bite? Mum eventually noticed it, which I'm surprised because I had been walking around with a cowel necked sweater on for weeks, which to any fasionable person at the time, was so NOT IN then, so I thought it was strange that she hadn't asked her extremely fashionable daughter why I was wearing it. Anyway we were out grocery shopping one day and I must of turned my head round cos suddenly I get this punch in the arm and that look of "wait till I get you home".....AAARGH, scary woman my mother.
Yeah so it was nice to hear from Beverley, she sounds fabulously happy, couple of kids, lucky her. I had asked her in a previous email how her brother was, but she didn't mention him. God he was cute, bit rough round the edges, which I think was all an act, but really sexy, and those smouldering looks of his...oh yeah I remember Gary.
So I woke up this morning to find that I have 6 NEW fucking mosquitoe bites, or at least some kind of bites, as I don't recall seeing any mossies yet. I wouldn't mind but one of these bites is at the front of my neck (very attractive) and the other is on my forehead, god I look like some alien from star trek or something....
Oh yeah I almost forgot myself and Morpheus went across the street to one of the touristy restaurants last night, yeah I know we usually don't frequent these places but I was hungover and was in desperate need of pasta, so hence our choice of restaurant. Anyway we're sat there tucking into our tortellini with meat when "Normal" walks in, you know the Bip Bip guy from "Dark Angel" who runs the courier place? Yeah he looks EXACTLY the same as on tv. I usually don't saying anything to celebrities, mainly because we see them all the time and I think they should be left to enjoy their evening. HOWEVER, he did stand up exactly as I did and he was right next to me, so he turned and smiled, so I took the opportunity and just said that I loved the show. He genuinely seemed really pleased, almost as if he didn't think anyone would recognise him. Of course Morpheus HAD TO say Bip Bip as he walked away but I don't think the guy noticed...thank god, can't take that boy ANYWHERE!!
Right I've just finished working on my friends website, will now put some more anti-itch cream on these fucking bites and go workout.
Another beautiful day in New York City....
