It's July 21st. Break out your party pants!

No, no, silly Sallies. It's not my birthday. It's Danny Glover Eve!

Every year around this time, when I start getting excited, as well as anytime someone new comes over to our apartment, people ask "Why are you celebrating Danny Glover's birthday?" or "Why do you have a gigantic poster of Danny Glover in your living room (old place)/at the top of your stairs (current place)?"

I think {and I think you'll think the same thing, after reading this entry (http://brutbrut.blogspot.com/2007/07/3-score-and-one-year-ago-today.html) and this entry (http://brutbrut.blogspot.com/2007/01/danny-glover-legend.html)} that you'll agree that the better question is: Why haven't you been celebrating this man's life anniversary?

As you can see, Danielle and I have been celebrating it for years... Since 2006, when this whole thing started!

Here we are paying homage for his 61st birthday, two years ago.






Unfortunately, if you recall, my camera got lost in New York like Home Alone 2, and with it went my pictures from Danny Glover Love Fest 2008, but I assure you that the pictures looked similar to these, especially since we lived in the same place at the time, and didn't really change a whole lot around.

An appropriate question may be, "How are you going to set this year apart from other years, Mandie?"

Well, one thing I hope to do is possibly catch his attention on Twitter.

Some of you may remember that a few months ago, Shaq responded to me on Twitter.

Just yesterday, his wife and I had a mini little conversation on Twitter...

Mandelicious can't wait to see this! http://bit.ly/10GShD Hahahahha, so ridiculous! I <3 href="http://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ">THE_REAL_SHAQ !
Shaunie_O:
@Mandelicious yeah u can watch it n ur Phx Suns bikini that u can't seem 2 find use 4.
Mandelicious:
@Shaunie_O I need to get rid of that thing! I want a @cavs one! P.S. I hope you know that my love for your husband is 100% platonic!
Mandelicious:
@Shaunie_O Read this.... http://bit.ly/4ixHu
Shaunie_O:
@Mandelicious LOL

For the record, that link is to a blog in which I explain my platonic love for Shaq.

Anyway, I don't know how or why I became one of the 158 people that Shaunie follows, but I think it's pretty cool, especially since she actually seems to read what I tweet and remember it. I like the fact that in the wake of her husband getting traded to another team, she remembers that I was lamenting over the fact that I have a useless Suns bikini and can't find a Cavs one.

So yeah, I plan to tweet at Danny Glover a bit and see if I can get his attention.

Hopefully I can also get a few people out tonight to drink shots to his honor.

Oh yeah... One more thing before I go back to sleep or try to get people to go to the beach with me....

I am in another voting-based modeling contest!


If you have time, I'd appreciate a vote. You can vote once per day per internet connection. If you want reminders, let me know and I'll email you, or you can follow me on Twitter, as I plan to remind people that way as well by just tossing the link at the end of shorter tweets made from home!

Vote here!

Thanks so much! I hope everyone has a great Danny Glover Eve!

"I taste like Tequila, bubblegum, and shame."

That's the text that I woke up to this morning, from the same friend whose conversation I blogged last time. Incredible.

He says he is going to hire me as a bartender in his club, and train him to be a female version of him. He admires John Stamos, and says that I will be the Punky Brewster to his John Stamos. Apparently, this is a huge compliment.

Anyway, let's talk about absurd.

Last night was completely ridiculous. Pictures will be up soon. Pretty much all the clubs in the city each had a table and bottles at 720. Things got quite out of line, and we a-barred until sometime between 7 and 9am.

My waking up was pretty uneventful, but when Maj walked out of my room, she said "Oh my God" and kept walking straight to her purse, pulled out a cheeseburger, and asked why there was a cheeseburger in her purse.

Really?! I just cracked up. Seriously?

Then we struggled to find random belongings around the house (which is the biggest mess ever) and re-hashed last night's events.

Let me just say that we were still drunk, and giggling like crazy, wearing the clothes we wore last night, which were covered in random stains.

It was then that I noticed that the tag from the store was still on Maj's outfit from last night, so we photographed that.

When I was looking at the pictures from last night, I was literally laughing so hard, I was crying.

Oh lawd. I love my life and friends!
