Get Cultured? Yes, In The OC

The heat may have been getting to some peoples' heads.

Here's a way to cool off your head, if need be:
Go to the Oak Cliff Cultural Center. It is next to the Texas Theatre, and its address is: 223 West Jefferson Blvd, Dallas, TX 75208. I don't know the hours, but you can find all that out by calling 214-670-3777.
The background is, I found a small flyer for this place among my stuff recently (I went to a photo exhibit).
I realized I hadn't been there in a while and decided you all should get the benefit of knowing about it.
The end.
Stay cool/ don't stay cool... It's up to you.

A Photo Of Savannah

Here is an exciting photo of Savannah, Georgia.
They are roses made of palm tree leaves. Sold on the street.

(Don't worry, more music "news" to come).

It is Day 17, of the blogathon.

Have a great day,

Write By Night, And "Can You Do Me A Favor? I Need a Jumper Cable."

Since I have proof there are at least SOME writers that read this blog, there is a helpful site called Write By Night.
They are located in Austin, Texas. While it's confusing to figure out EXACTLY what they do...
it looks like they provide a bunch of services for writers, such as coaching, mentoring, and other things. I like the idea of writing by night, since that is what a lot of people do.

I do know that you can subscribe to their newsletter, and to their blog. And, I found them on Linked In.

The other day while at Whataburger in the morning, a man approached me and said in broken english, while he waved around jumper cables, "Can you do me a favor? I need a jumper cable?" He happened to be asian. He actually meant, "a jump," because he already had the jumper cables!

In any case, I said no, because I had to go to class.
And, who knows how long it would have taken to give him a jump?
He seemed annoyed, and I felt like he assumed I was going to say yes.
In some cases, I would not mind, but this time it was a no.

Subdural Hematoma And, "Stuck Here. Even A Penny Will Help" And State Fair Photo

Hi and Welcome:
I hit my head on the outside rearview mirror the other day. I was standing up after putting air in my tires. I thought I was going to get a subdural hematoma.
But I did not, because I am still alive.

Recently I saw a man standing on the corner along the access road to 635. His sign read, in big block letters, "Stuck Here. Even A Penny Will Help."
He was maybe in his 40s, with graying hair and a moustache. It was early afternoon.
I decided to give him a dollar, and as soon as I stuck my hand out of the car, the light changed.
I did get to give it to him.
But I never found out why he is "stuck here."

Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey got into a fight. It was during an American Idol taping.

Oh, no.
