been awhile...sorry.




i feel bad. i've neglected this blog. and i've neglected lil' urit, aka shawn kemp doll.

i've been on a lot of roadies, and taken him along. but never took him out of his travel bag. boo me.

here's a pic of lil' urit hanging with the daisies i planted back in the spring. they never showed a flower. but i finally put them in the ground a few weeks ago. they'll probably die by frost at some point this winter. sigh. such is life and love and flowers.

vi-vi-video



i tried to show how shaky my car is getting, but really, this just shows how shaky my camera hand is while driving. but i guess that shows how shaky the car is?

and sorry it's at a bad angle to watch. just tilt the computer!!!

boo...

me.

i thought i'd have gone somewhere else interesting by now. in fact, a lot of places more interesting than my car and my back yard.

sorry to those that actually stumble upon this. i promise it will improve.

as will the photos...

can't wait for Lil' Urit, aka Shawn Kemp's, first Lucero show.

:-P

I-95 South traffic is a bitch.

especially on a sunday in the summer in the afternoon near dc...

boo.........



and yes, i took this while driving...about 8 miles per hour.

Nutbush, Virginia


nothing much to see there, but lil' didn't want to stay very long...in fact he only made it a few inches out of my car, as i had to park at a fork with out any real ability to know if anyone was going to slam into me from behind or the sides...

The Ben Affleck Jack Off Video

it seems, even lil' urit can't help himself. he has to search for the Ben Affleck Jack Off Video (the BAJOV, for those in the 'know').

he visited this The BAJOV...like many who keep trying from california to new york to london to tokyo....

Why Shawn Kemp?

Today is the first entry in The Shawn Kemp diaries.

These will be the continuing voyages of me and my Shawn Kemp doll. Why Shawn Kemp? Well, it's a long story, but here's the short version:

Back in college at Arizona State University, I worked at the State Press, the student newspaper. During that time, the Sun Devils had a player named Urit Kelly. Well, the Shawn Kemp doll looked a lot like Urit Kelly, so it became the sports desk's mascot -- Lil' Urit.

This was also during the heyday of the ad campaign with Penny Hardaway and Lil' Penny.

So, a legend was born...

This will just be pictures and maybe a few words about what me and Lil' Urit, aka, Shawn Kemp doll do...

by now.
