Pay It Forward

By Unknown -
PAYING IT FORWARD is an act of sharing and kindness with anyone ,friends or stranger. Though I try every day to practice this ,lately I have been the lucky one on the receiving end. This was amazing. After attending the Celebration Car Show with a few friends meeting some celebs as Johnny Bench , Chris Mcdonald and Donny Most,I was getting into the car and a poster that I have collected for years which hundreds of musicians had autographed, fell out of my bag and as if in slow motion fell to the street and rolled down into a drainage opening resting ten feet down looking as if gone forever. I still didn't panic but inside I was crushed. Knowing I just couldn't give up, looking across the street was the town hall which was open due to the celebration and suggested to contact the FIRE DEPARTMENT which My buddy patiently went along on this impossible mission. When I explained my situation my new best friends MARGIE,KAYLA and ROSS followed me in their fire truck to the site that at first we thought was hopeless. But it seemed they all knew how special this piece was to me and came up with an ingenious plan . Making a makeshift device not worrying about getting dirty hooked it on the first try and brought it back to the street surface. They were terrific and even wanted to see and admire the piece as if they were my friends forever which they are now. Now the next morning I am still glowing on their kindness on PAYING IT FORWARD to someone they didn't know and as FIRST RESPONDERS are a special breed. We all should keep PAYING IT FORWARD as if you watch TV or read the papers  . Our World sure needs more Love and Kindness!

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach

As millions are THE WALKING DEAD Series is followed like no other show that I can remember and is without a doubt my favorite. Now like many celebrities they only time one gets up and close are at Autograph Shows where people pay for an autograph with their favorite star. Now I can not say I have never paid for an autograph but will never pay for a photo with. About twenty " professional graphers " were prepared at a site that we all know in hopes of meeting many celebs who were attending a one day event that some of us donated money for the survivors of the ORLANDO PULSE NIGHT CLUB SHOOTING. Several started to file by including Director Greg Nictero who though in a rush was pleasant to all. Some harassed LAUEN COHAN who even barked at many "You guys are ridiculous " and signed a few with a Scribble that no one will know in a few years. I did not blame her and many of these graphers should had left her alone. If a celebrity does not want to sign it is that and har
