										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m calling bullshit on Bret Michaels&#8217; recent health problems. I&#8217;m not buying it. I have no doubt that he was ill and had some sort of brain trauma, but the seriousness of it had to have been grossly dramatized for maximum publicity effect. </p>
<p>Something smells fishy.</p>
<p>Now, admittedly, I got my medical degree from Speculation U, but things just aren&#8217;t adding up here.  How you can go from having a brain hemorrhage, a &#8220;warning stroke,&#8221;  and a hole in your heart one week and then be on every single talkshow on the planet the a few weeks later. </p>
<p>And not just every single talkshow but also American Idol, oh yeah and then kicking off a summer concert tour in Biloxi, MS. Yes, he was back on stage performing a little more than five weeks after suffering from a brain hemorrhage. The type of hemorrhage that kills 20% of people who suffer from it (according to <em>People</em> Magazine). So is Bret, who has suffered from diabetes most of his life, some sort of superhuman?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying he faked it. That&#8217;d be totally macabre and I like to believe no human alive would be that desperate for the spotlight. I&#8217;m just saying that the timing for a deathbed comeback was kind of fortuitous. Was it not? Plus, what great promotion for Snapple, Donald Trump, The Apprentice, American Idol, and the VH-1 reality show about Bret&#8217;s life. Money cannot buy this kind of media blitz. </p>
<p>Usually I&#8217;m pretty skeptical in general and tend to think everything I see and read is either some sort of marketing ploy or a public relations push. I just don&#8217;t believe anything I read (or hear) in the media. But this one I fell for. </p>
<p>Sucker.</p>

<p>As a seasoned Web surfer, I have generally learned to tune out most all the ads I see. Something has to be pretty spectacular for it to catch my eye. Hell, I spend a lot of time creating some of those damn Web ads that block up the scenery. </p>
<p>Do you see why the ad above caught my attention? It looks like your typical yearbook bullshit classmates dot com ad, right? But as I was surfing away from the page it appeared on, I had to click back. Because some part of my reptilian brain said, hey you know that girl. In fact, I am pretty sure the pictures for this ad was ripped right out of the 1989-1990 edition of the Bengalore (that&#8217;s what our yearbook was called and its editor? why yes, that would have been me). </p>
<p>It was only as I was checking out the Jenny that I realized, hey, dude, that&#8217;s <a href="http://www.mikedoughty.com">Mike Doughty</a>! MIKE DOUGHTY.</p>
<p>Turns out they&#8217;re pimping the new record (Golden Delicious out Tuesday) with a cute little site called <a href="http://www.27jennifers.com/">27 Jennifers</a>. </p>
<p>And it was only after I clicked on the ad that I realized I totally forgot to get pumped up about the NEW Mike Doughty record and subsequent concerts (March 22 and 23rd at First Ave).</p>
<p>So there, now you have it. I&#8217;m excited.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>when i checked my mail upon arriving home from the bowling alley last night, i was shocked and pleasantly surprised to find another <a href="https://iwilldare.com/archives/002325.html">happy orange slip</a> in my mailbox. </p>
<p>wahoo!</p>
<p>i thought this might be the fates&#8217; way of making up for the fact that when i went yesterday was not helped by the <a title="and the radio man says rock n roll lives" href="https://iwilldare.com/archives/001149.html">yummilicious postmaster</a>. </p>
<p>with great gobs of glee and sheer giddness, yes i was giddy, i approached the post office helper desk. my glee was somewhat abated by the fact that the postmaster was already helping some old guy find a zip code for Edina. so i had to settle for some other postal wench.</p>
<p>but my spirit did not sink too low, because, after all, there was a package for me. as the postal wench disappeared into the great, mysterious guts of the post office my mind wandered to what fabulous person might have sent me some fabulous something.</p>
<p>the postal wench appeared. wahoo!</p>
<p>she handed me an earthlink dvd case. yes, i had driven to the post office to pick up junk mail.</p>
<p>how cruel is that?</p>
