You never know who might live next door...

This weekend our block actually got organized enough to throw a block party. Arin and I were nervous at first thinking that we would close off traffic to the street and then stand there with Adam and Amanda (our intrepid "young hip neighbors" across the street) kicking asphalt, drinking a beer wondering where the hell everybody was. But our fears were unfounded. Over 40 people came out to our little party in the street. Arin and I were out there from 2:00pm and finally went back inside around 9:15pm.
Our block has a lot of wonderful people on it, coming from so many different backgrounds, but by far one of the biggest surprises of the day was us learning that not two doors down from us live Kumar Pallana, also known as Mr. Littlejeans from Rushmore, and his son, Dipak Pallana - who played Mr. Adams, the math teacher. Of course I mention Rushmore because it happens to be one of our favorite movies of all time, so it was tremendous for us to learn that one of our favorite characters from the movie is our neighbor!
And Hollywood is just one part of his amazing life story. He is 86 years old. He was born and grew up in India, in a family full of freedom fighters. He traveled to Africa where he got his start in show business spinning plates and juggling. Yadda yadda yadda, he moved to Oakland and lives next door to us! Kazam!

Sorry to hear about your frustrations with poker, but i guess thats the nature of the game. Doing everything right, and still losing is extremely difficult to overcome, but maybe taking a break and spending time away from tournament poker will allow you to be refreshed and rejuvenated, and remember why you love tournament poker so much. Best of luck.

If you ask to any Petersburger a question on what most beautiful area in a city, he, without reflecting, will give up as a bad job towards the Hermitage. Before the Hermitage Palace Square – truly a pearl of Northern Venice opens.

From time immemorial was considered that the witch is a woman who practises magic, participates in шабашах on bald mountains and copulates with demons. However in transfer from Old Russian language to "know" means "NOBILITY".

What girls are preferred by you? Love girls with elastic forms, graceful bends of a figure, blondes with darlings, tender faces of an angel or, maybe, prefer magnificent and hot, how fire, brunettes who can deliver violent pleasure to the real judge of female beauty?

Автор подметил верно . Я тоже всегда стараюсь писать статьи для блога основываясь на личном опыте. Мне кажется читать повествование человека гораздо приятнее чем сухой технический текст.

Хорошый сайт. Я страдаю, когда вспоминаю, как много было сказано хороших слов и как много обещаний было нарушено. В этом мире слишком много говорят те, у кого вообще нет права говорить.

Never speak to people about the problems, 80 % aren't interested in them, the others of 20 % are glad that they at you are!
